32:33-42 The tribes of Gad and Reuben, along with half the tribe of Manasseh, settled east of the Jordan (e.g., Deut 3:12-13; 4:43; 29:7-8). These tribes occupied territory and towns taken from King Sihon the Amorite and King Og of Bashan (Num 32:33; see 21:21-35). • Half the tribe of Manasseh suddenly appears in the discussion of territorial distribution. Part of Manasseh settled east of the Jordan River, while another part of the tribe settled in Canaan, west of the Jordan (cp. Josh 17:1-12; 22:7).
