Clarke's Joshua 13:29 Bible Commentary
The half tribe of Manasseh - When the tribes of Reuben and Gad requested to have their settlement on the east side of Jordan, it does not appear that any part of the tribe of Manasseh requested to be settled in the same place. But as this tribe was numerous, and had much cattle, Moses thought proper to appoint one half of it to remain on the east of Jordan, and the other to go over and settle on the west side of that river.
Barnes's Joshua 13:29 Bible Commentary
On the conquest of Bashan, see especially Numbers 32:33, etc. and notes.
Wesley's Joshua 13:29 Bible Commentary
13:29 Of Manasseh - Not that thou desired it, as Reuben and Gad did, Numbers 32:1 , but partly as a recompence to Machir the Manassite, for his valiant acts against Og; and partly for the better defence of the other two tribes, by so considerable an accession to them, which also was without any inconvenience to them, because the country was too large for the two tribes of Reuben and Gad.
