And the rest of Gilead,.... The other half of the mount, with the cities belonging to it: and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; see Num 32:33. all the region of Argob, with all Bashan; the region of Trachonitis, in Bashan; see Deu 3:4, which was called the land of giants; or of Rephaim; this Jarchi says is the country of the Rephaim given to Abraham, Gen 15:20.

This site's exposition

this land, which we possessed

on Deuteronomy 3:12-13

The land east of Jordan is parcelled out before the land west of it is entered, and Numbers 32 records the negotiation that produced the arrangement. Reuben and Gad take from Aroer by the Arnon with half mount Gilead, and the half tribe of Manasseh takes the rest of Gilead and all Bashan. Verse 13 adds that Bashan was called the land of giants, the Rephaim of verse 11, so the tribe is settled on ground that carried that name before Israel arrived.
