Exegesis
The verse employs a parallel allotment structure where the verb natan {נָתַן | nā-tan} ‘gave’ introduces Moses’ distribution in Bashan and then Joshua’s grant to their kin on the Jordan’s west side, highlighting continuity of leadership.
Root and etymology
nun–tav–nunn-t-n
“to give”
In context — Joshua 22:7
Now Moses gave a possession in Bashan to one half of the tribe of Manasseh, but Joshua gave the other half an inheritance with their brothers on this side of the Jordan, toward the west. And when Joshua sent them to their tents, he also blessed them.
