I also gave them the eastern side of the valley of the River Jordan, from Lake Galilee south to the Dead Sea below the slopes of Mount Pisgah.

The Israelites even started calling Bashan by the name “Villages of Jair”, and that is still its name. I gave the northern half of Gilead to the Machir clan.
