Shifting Tribal Borders
This verse places the tribe of Gad in the land of Bashan. Commentators explain that this territory was adjacent to Reuben and originally part of the allotment for the half-tribe of Manasseh. This indicates that tribal boundaries were not always rigid but could shift over time as tribes like Gad expanded.
