Study note
Setting — Moses concludes the land allocation to the half-tribe of Manasseh by specifying the eastern portion of their inheritance.
The words — גְבוּלָם (ge.vu.lam) translates to "their territory," and מַמְלְכ֣וּת (mam.le.khut) means "kingdom," both directly describing the extent of Og’s former domain.
The thread — The same allocation appears in Deuteronomy 3:13, where Moses explicitly states he gave all Bashan to the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Why it lands — The text requires readers to track how specific conquered regions were divided among named tribal clans rather than treated as generic spoils.
