3:13 The half-tribe of Manasseh made the same request as Reuben and Gad (3:12), and Moses accepted their request. Gad and Reuben settled between the Arnon (see 2:24) and the middle of Gilead (see 2:36), and Manasseh took everything north of that, including Bashan (see 3:1). • The Rephaites, a giant people related to the Anakites (see 2:11), are noted here as being indigenous to Bashan.
