* two tribes.
These two tribes inherited the dominions of Sihon and Og, the
two vanquished kings of the Amorites, which extended from the
Arnon to Mount Hermon. Of those counties, Moses gave to the
tribe of Reuben the south-west part, which was bounded on the
south by the river Arnon, on the west by Jordan, and on the
north and east by the tribe of Gad. The tribe of Gad was
bounded by the river Jordan and tribe of Reuben on the west,
by the half tribe of Manasseh on the north, by the kingdom of
the Amorites and Arabia Deserta on the East, and by the tribe
of Reuben on the south. The part belonging to the tribe of
Manasseh was bounded by the tribe of Gad on the south, by the
sea of Galilee and part of Jordan on the west, by Hermon and
Lebanon on the north, and by the mountains of Trachonitis on
the east.
