Numbers 32
32NOW THE sons of Reuben and of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle, and they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead [on the east side of the Jordan], and behold, the place was suitable for cattle.H1121H7205H1121H1410H3966H6099H7227H4735H7200H776H3270H776H1568H4725H4725H47352So the sons of Gad and of Reuben came and said to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation,H1121H1410H1121H7205H935H559H4872H499H3548H5387H5712H5593[The country around] Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,H5852H1769H3270H5247H2809H500H7643H5015H11944The land the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.H776H3068H5221H6440H5712H3478H776H4735H5650H47355And they said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.H559H4672H2580H5869H776H5414H5650H272H5674H33836And Moses said to the sons of Gad and of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here?H4872H559H1121H1410H1121H7205H251H935H4421H34277Why do you discourage the hearts of the Israelites from going over into the land which the Lord has given them?H5106H5106H3820H1121H3478H5674H776H3068H54148Thus your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land!H6213H1H7971H6947H7200H7769For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the hearts of the Israelites from going into the land the Lord had given them.H5927H5158H812H7200H776H5106H3820H1121H3478H935H776H3068H541410And the Lord's anger was kindled on that day and He swore, saying,H3068H639H2734H3117H7650H55911Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me--H518H582H5927H4714H6242H8141H1121H4605H7200H127H7650H85H3327H3290H4390H31012Except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the Lord.H3612H1121H3312H7074H3091H1121H5126H4390H310H306813And the Lord's anger was kindled against Israel and He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed.H3068H639H2734H3478H5128H4057H705H8141H1755H6213H7451H5869H3068H855214And behold, you are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.H6965H1H8635H2400H582H5595H2740H639H3068H347815For if you turn from following Him, He will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people.H7725H310H3254H3240H4057H7843H597116But they came near to him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks and walled settlements for our little ones.H5066H559H1129H1448H6629H4735H5892H294517But we will be armed and ready to go before the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified settlements because of the people of the land.H587H2363H2502H6440H1121H3478H935H4725H2945H3427H4013H5892H6440H3427H77618We will not return to our homes until the Israelites have inherited every man his inheritance.H7725H1004H1121H3478H5157H376H515919For we will not inherit with them on the [west] side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.H5157H5676H3383H1973H5159H935H5676H3383H421720Moses replied, If you will do as you say, going armed before the Lord to war,H4872H559H6213H1697H2502H6440H3068H442121And every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven out His enemies before HimH5674H2502H5674H3383H6440H3068H3423H341H644022And the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return and be guiltless [in this matter] before the Lord and before Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.H776H3533H6440H3068H310H7725H5355H3068H3478H776H272H6440H306823But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out.H6213H2398H3068H3045H2403H467224Build settlements for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do that of which you have spoken.H1129H5892H2945H1448H6792H6213H3318H631025And the sons of Gad and of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord commands.H1121H1410H1121H7205H559H4872H559H5650H6213H113H668026Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle shall be there in the cities of Gilead.H2945H802H4735H929H5892H156827But your servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord says.H5650H5674H2502H6635H6440H3068H4421H113H169628So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of Israel.H4872H6680H499H3548H3091H1121H5126H7218H1H4294H1121H347829And Moses said to them, If the sons of Gad and Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man armed to battle before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.H4872H559H1121H1410H1121H7205H5674H3383H2502H4421H6440H3068H776H3533H6440H5414H776H1568H27230But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.H5674H2502H270H8432H776H366731The sons of Gad and Reuben answered, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.H1121H1410H1121H7205H6030H559H3068H1696H5650H621332We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan may be ours.H5168H5674H2502H6440H3068H776H3667H272H5159H5676H338333Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad and of Reuben and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan--the land with its cities and their territories, even the cities round about the country.H4872H5414H1121H1410H1121H7205H2677H7626H4519H1121H3130H4467H5511H4428H567H4467H5747H4428H1316H776H5892H1367H5892H776H543934And the sons of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,H1121H1410H1129H1769H5852H617735Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,H5855H3270H301136Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep.H1039H1028H4013H5892H1448H662937And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,H1121H7205H1129H2809H500H715638Nebo, and Baal-meon--their names were to be changed--and Shibmah; and they gave other names to the cities they built.H5015H1186H8034H4142H7643H7121H8034H8034H5892H112939And the sons of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.H1121H4353H1121H4519H3212H1568H3920H3423H56740And Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he settled in it.H4872H5414H1568H4353H1121H4519H342741Jair son of Manasseh took their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.H2971H1121H4519H1980H3920H2333H7121H233442And Nobah took Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.H5025H1980H3920H7079H1323H7121H5025H8034
