And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 3 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls the distribution of the Transjordan territory and establishes the responsibility of the tribes that had already received their inheritance: their fighting men were to cross the Jordan and help their brothers until they also received their territory. The arrangement expresses national solidarity and prevents any tribe from considering its own inheritance a reason to abandon the rest.

Solches Land nahmen wir ein zu derselben Zeit. Von Aroer an, das am Bach Arnon liegt, gab ich's den Rubeniter und Gaditern samt dem halben Gebirge Gilead mit seinen Städten.
Y esta tierra que heredamos entonces desde Aroer, que está al arroyo de Arnón, y la mitad del monte de Galaad con sus ciudades, dí a los Rubenitas y a los Gaditas:
De esta tierra que poseímos en aquel tiempo, di a los rubenitas y a los gaditas el territorio desde Aroer, junto al torrente de Arnón, y la mitad de la región montañosa de Galaad con sus ciudades.
Nous prîmes alors possession de ce pays. Je donnai aux Rubénites et aux Gadites le territoire à partir d'Aroër sur le torrent de l'Arnon et la moitié de la montagne de Galaad avec ses villes.
E in quel tempo noi prendemmo possessione di questo paese; io diedi a’ Gaditi, e a’ Rubeniti, ciò che è da Aroer, che è in sul torrente di Arnon, e la metà del monte di Galaad, e le sue città.
Tomamos, pois, esta terra em possessão naquele tempo: Desde Aroer, que está junto ao ribeiro de Arnom, e a metade da montanha de Gileade, com as suas cidades, tenho dado aos rubenitas e gaditas.
「那時,我們得了這地。從 亞嫩谷 旁的 亞羅珥 起,連同 基列 山區的一半和境內的城鎮,我都給了 呂便 人和 迦得 人。
