Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 32:33

33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the Kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with the cities thereof, in the coasts, even the cities of the countrey round about.

Who are here added to the Tribes of Reuben and Gad, either because upon the good success of the two Tribes of Reuben and Gad, they were encouraged to make the same request for themselves, as having much cattel, as well as they: or because upon further consideration it was found that this portion of land was more than sufficient for those two tribes, and it was given by Moses [illegible: 1+ letters]o these rather than to any other, because these fought against the Amorites with great courage and success, here ver. 39. and Ios▪ 17. 1.
