Numbers 34:15

The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

The two tribes and the half tribe have received. The conquered territories of Sihon and Og, lying between the Arnon and mount Hermon, were allotted to them-that of Reuben in the most southerly part, Gad north of it, and the half Manasseh in the northernmost portion. Near Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising. The direction was far from being due east; because the territories assigned to those two tribes and a half lay partly northeast and southwest of Jericho. In reality, however, they were all east; and the additional clause, "toward the sun-rising," makes that general term more specific.
