Commentary on Numbers 32:33

Theological / Devotional

Half the tribe of Manasseh. These people were known as warriors (Joshua 17:1); and inasmuch as there was room, they too were granted a possession in Gilead. It is evident from v. 39 that the half tribe of Manasseh had cooperated in the conquest of Gilead, and perhaps unaided had subdued certain portions.

Sihon. The territories of Sihon and Og were the first to be taken over by the Israelites, and the people taken subjected (see Num. 21:24, 29; 2 Kings 15:29).
