This is what Moses had given
The phrase highlights the continuity of leadership and divine mandate from Moses to Joshua. Moses, as the servant of God, was instrumental in the initial distribution of the land east of the Jordan. The Hebrew root for "given" is "נָתַן" (natan), which implies a deliberate and authoritative act of granting. This reflects God's sovereign will being executed through His chosen leader, Moses, emphasizing the divine origin of the land allotment.

to the tribe of Gad
The tribe of Gad was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Gad, the seventh son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Historically, the tribe of Gad was known for its warrior spirit and bravery, as seen in 1 Chronicles 12:8, where the Gadites are described as valiant men. The allocation of land to Gad east of the Jordan River was significant, as it provided them with ample pastureland for their flocks, aligning with their semi-nomadic lifestyle.

according to their clans
The phrase underscores the importance of family and clan structures within the Israelite community. The Hebrew word for "clans" is "מִשְׁפָּחוֹת" (mishpachot), which refers to extended family units. This distribution method ensured that each family within the tribe received its rightful inheritance, maintaining social order and fulfilling God's promise to Abraham regarding the land. It also reflects the communal nature of Israelite society, where the well-being of the individual was tied to the prosperity of the family and tribe.

Verse 24. - Unto the tribe of Gad. The border of Gad extended further eastward than that of Reuben. Westward, of course, its border was the Jordan. Its northern border was nearly coincident with that of the land of Gilead, and passed by Maha-naim and Jabesh Gilead, unto the extreme southernmost point of the sea of Galilee. Many of these places also are mentioned in Isaiah 15 and Jeremiah 48. (see note above, ver. 16).
