Moses, acting under divine guidance, allocates the region of Gilead to the Makirites, descendants of Manasseh, one of the tribes of Israel. This allocation is part of the broader distribution of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, fulfilling God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Makirites, known for their strength and valor, are given this land as their inheritance, allowing them to settle and thrive. This event emphasizes the importance of trust and obedience to God's plan, as the Israelites receive their promised inheritance. It also reflects the communal aspect of God's blessings, where each tribe and family has a place and purpose within the larger community. The settlement in Gilead serves as a reminder of God's provision and faithfulness, encouraging believers to trust in His promises and to find their place within His plans.
So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites, the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there.
