SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:31
Se dio además la mitad de Galaad, y Astarot, y Edrei, ciudades del reino de Og en Basán, a los hijos de Maquir, hijo de Manasés, a la mitad de los hijos de Maquir conforme a sus familias.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. And half Gilead , etc.] The other half not given to the Gadites, who had that half of it which Sihon possessed, and the tribe of Manasseh that half of it which Og possessed, (see Deuteronomy 3:12,13); and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan ; which are particularly mentioned, because royal cities, ( Joshua 13:10); (see Deuteronomy 1:4); [were pertaining] unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh ; and who was his only son; however, to his posterity only was this inheritance given, though not to them all: [even] to one half of the children of Machir, by their families ; which seems to confirm it that Manasseh had no other son, since his whole posterity, both the half tribe on the other side, as well as that in the land of Canaan, were denominated from him; though he seems to have had another son, who perhaps died without issue, ( 1 Chronicles 7:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-33 - The land must be divided among the tribes. It is the will of God tha every man should know his own, and not take that which is another's The world must be governed, not by force, but right. Wherever ou habitation is placed, and in whatever honest way our portion is assigned, we should consider them as allotted of God; we should be thankful for, and use them as such, while every prudent method shoul be used to prevent disputes about property, both at present and in future. Joshua must be herein a type of Christ, who has not onl conquered the gates of hell for us, but has opened to us the gates of heaven, and having purchased the eternal inheritance for all believers will put them in possession of it. Here is a general description of the country given to the two tribes and a half, by Moses. Israel must know their own, and keep to it; and may not, under pretence of their being God's peculiar people, encroach on their neighbours. Twice in thi chapter it is noticed, that to the tribe of Levi Moses gave n inheritance: see Nu 18:20. Their maintenance must be brought out of all the tribes. The ministers of the Lord should show themselve indifferent about worldly interests, and the people should take car they want nothing suitable. And happy are those who have the Lord God of Israel for their inheritance, though little of this world falls to their lot. His providences will supply their wants, his consolation will support their souls, till they gain heavenly joy and everlastin pleasures __________________________________________________________________
