1
Now the sons
of Reuben
and the sons
of Gad
had
an exceedingly
large number
of livestock.
So when they saw
the land
of Jazer
and
the land
of Gilead,
that it was indeed
a place
suitable
for livestock,
2
the sons
of Gad
and
the sons
of Reuben
came
and spoke
to Moses
and to Eleazar
the priest
and to the leaders
of the congregation,
saying,
3
"Ataroth,
Dibon,
Jazer,
Nimrah,
Heshbon,
Elealeh,
Sebam,
Nebo
and Beon,
4
the land
which
the LORD
conquered
before
the congregation
of Israel,
is a land
for livestock,
and your servants
have livestock."
5
They said,
"If
we have found
favor
in your sight,
let this
land
be given
to your servants
as a possession;
do not take us across
the Jordan."
6
But Moses
said
to the sons
of Gad
and
to the sons
of Reuben,
"Shall your brothers
go
to war
while you yourselves
sit
here?
7
"Now why
are you discouraging
the sons
of Israel
from crossing over
into the land
which
the LORD
has given
them?
8
"This is what
your fathers
did
when I sent
them from Kadesh-barnea
to see
the land.
9
"For when they went
up to the valley
of Eshcol
and saw
the land,
they discouraged
the sons
of Israel
so that they did not go
into the land
which
the LORD
had given
them.
10
"So the LORD'S
anger
burned
in that day,
and He swore,
saying,
11
'
None
of the men
who came
up from Egypt,
from twenty
years
old
and upward,
shall see
the land
which
I swore
to Abraham,
to Isaac
and to Jacob;
for they did not follow
Me fully,
12
except
Caleb
the son
of Jephunneh
the Kenizzite
and Joshua
the son
of Nun,
for they have followed
the LORD
fully.'
13
"So the LORD'S
anger
burned
against Israel,
and He made them wander
in the wilderness
forty
years,
until
the entire
generation
of those who had done
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
was destroyed.
14
"Now behold,
you have risen
up in your fathers'
place,
a brood
of sinful
men,
to add
still more
to the burning
anger
of the LORD
against
Israel.
15
"For if you turn away
from following
Him, He will once
more
abandon
them in the wilderness,
and you will destroy
all
these
people."
16
Then they came near
to him and said,
"We will build
here
sheepfolds
for our livestock
and cities
for our little ones;
17
but we ourselves
will be armed
ready
to go before
the sons
of Israel,
until
we have brought
them to their place,
while our little ones
live
in the fortified
cities
because
of the inhabitants
of the land.
18
"We will not return
to our homes
until
every one
of the sons
of Israel
has possessed
his inheritance.
19
"For we will not have an inheritance
with them on the other
side
of the Jordan
and beyond,
because
our inheritance
has fallen
to us on this
side
of the Jordan
toward the east."
20
So Moses
said
to them, "If
you will do
this,
if
you will arm
yourselves before
the LORD
for the war,
21
and all
of you armed
men cross over
the Jordan
before
the LORD
until
He has driven
His enemies
out from
before
Him,
22
and the
land
is subdued
before
the LORD
,
then afterward
you shall return
and be free of obligation
toward
the LORD
and
toward
Israel,
and this
land
shall be yours for a possession
before
the LORD
.
23
"But if
you will not do
so,
behold,
you have sinned
against the LORD,
and be sure
your sin
will find
you out.
24
"Build
yourselves cities
for your little ones,
and sheepfolds
for your sheep,
and do
what you have promised."
25
The sons
of Gad
and the sons
of Reuben
spoke
to Moses,
saying,
"Your servants
will do
just
as my lord
commands.
26
"Our little ones,
our wives,
our livestock
and all
our cattle
shall remain
there
in the cities
of Gilead;
27
while your servants,
everyone
who is armed
for war,
will cross over
in the presence
of the LORD
to battle,
just
as my lord
says."
28
So Moses
gave command
concerning them to Eleazar
the priest,
and to Joshua
the son
of Nun,
and to the heads
of the fathers'
households of the tribes
of
the son
s
of Israel.
29
Moses
said
to them, "If
the sons
of Gad
and
the sons
of Reuben,
everyone
who is armed
for battle,
will cross with you over
the Jordan
in the presence
of the LORD,
and the land
is subdued
before
you, then you shall give
them the land
of Gilead
for a possession;
30
but if
they will not cross over
with you armed,
they shall have possessions
among
you in the land
of Canaan."
31
The
so
ns
of Gad
and the
so
ns
of Reuben
answered,
saying,
"As the LORD
has said
to your servants,
so
we will do.
32
"We ourselves
will cross over
armed
in the presence
of the LORD
into the land
of Canaan,
and the possession
of our inheritance
shall remain with us across
the Jordan."
33
So Moses
gave
to them, to the sons
of Gad
and to the sons
of Reuben
and to the half-tribe
of Joseph's
son
Manasseh,
the kingdom
of Sihon,
king
of the Amorites
and
the kingdom
of Og,
the
king
of Bashan,
the land
with its cities
with their territories,
the cities
of the surrounding
land.
34
The sons
of Gad
built
Dibon
and Ataroth
and Aroer,
35
and Atroth-shophan
and Jazer
and Jogbehah,
36
and Beth-nimrah
and Beth-haran
as fortified
cities,
and sheepfolds
for sheep.
37
The sons
of Reuben
built
Heshbon
and Elealeh
and Kiriathaim,
38
and Nebo
and Baal-meon--
their names
being changed--
and Sibmah,
and they gave
other names
to the cities
which
they built.
39
The sons
of Machir
the son
of Manasseh
went
to Gilead
and took
it, and dispossessed
the Amorites
who
were in it.
40
So Moses
gave
Gilead
to Machir
the son
of Manasseh,
and he lived
in it.
41
Jair
the son
of Manasseh
went
and took
its towns,
and called
them Havvoth-jair.
42
Nobah
went
and took
Kenath
and its villages,
and called
it
Nobah
after his own name.
