With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
With whom - Hebrew, 'him.' The antecedent is evidently to Manasseh-not, however, the half tribe just mentioned, but the other half; because the historian, led, as it were, by the sound the word, breaks off to describe the possessions beyond Jordan already assigned to Reuben, Gad, and the half of Manasseh (see the note at Numbers 32:1-42; Deuteronomy 3:8-17). It may be proper to remark that it was wise to put these boundaries on record, as, in case of any misunderstanding or dispute arising about the exact limits of each district or property, an appeal could always be made to this authoritative document, and a full knowledge as well as grateful sense obtained of what they had received from God (Psalms 16:5-6).
