According to the Bible, it was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh which settled east of the Jordan river, but its inhabitants, the Geshurites, could not be expelled (Joshua 13:13).
Menurut Alkitab, tanah itu diberikan kepada setengah suku Manasye yang menetap di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, tetapi penduduknya, orang Gesur, tidak bisa diusir (Yosua 13:13).
