Verse 23 is found in chapter 13 of Joshua. The description continues with the cities and boundaries of Reuben, including places connected with the ancient victories over Sihon. The territory is defined through concrete geographical references, showing that the promise of land becomes a localized and administrable inheritance. The Jordan again appears as a natural and political reference point. The promised land is not presented as an abstract idea, but as a space that must be defined and distributed.
