Deuteronomy 3:16
"And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites,.... The tribes of Reuben and Gad: I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon: see Deu 3:12 . half the valley

and the border; or rather half the river, the river Arnon; and so it is rendered "the middle of the river", in Jos 12:2 and so here the middle of the torrent by the Vulgate Latin and Septuagint versions, and by Onkelos: even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon; beyond which the land given to the tribes of Reuben and Gad reached not; see Deu 2:37 .
