39The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.
40So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.
41Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
42And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
