Joshua 13:11

And Gilead
The land of Gilead, which was part of the kingdom of Og, half of which was given to Reuben, and the other half to Gad:

and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites;
of which see ( Deuteronomy 3:14 ) ;

and all Mount Hermon;
called also Sirion, Shenir, and Sion, ( Deuteronomy 3:9 ) ( 4:48 ) ;

and all Bashan unto Salcah;
another part of the dominions of Og, ( Deuteronomy 3:10 ) .

Joshua 13:11 In-Context

9 Their land started at Aroer at the Arnon Ravine and continued to the town in the middle of the ravine, and it included the whole plain from Medeba to Dibon.

10 All the towns ruled by Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in the city of Heshbon, were in that land. The land continued to the area where the Ammonites lived.

11 Gilead was also there, as well as the area where the people of Geshur and Maacah lived, and all of Mount Hermon and Bashan as far as Salecah.

12 All the kingdom of Og king of Bashan was in the land. Og was one of the last of the Rephaites, and in the past he ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. Moses had defeated them and had taken their land.

13 Because the Israelites did not force out the people of Geshur and Maacah, they still live among the Israelites today.
