32Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was a place for livestock,H1121H7205H1121H1410H3966H6099H7227H4735H7200H776H3270H776H1568H4725H4725H4735 2the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,H1121H1410H1121H7205H935H559H4872H499H3548H5387H5712H559 3"Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon,H5852H1769H3270H5247H2809H500H7643H5015H1194 4"the country which the LORD defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock."H776H3068H5221H6440H5712H3478H776H4735H5650H4735 5Therefore 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 over the Jordan."H559H4672H2580H5869H776H5414H5650H272H5674H3383 6And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: "Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here?H4872H559H1121H1410H1121H7205H251H935H4421H3427 7"Now why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?H5106H5106H3820H1121H3478H5674H776H3068H5414 8"Thus your fathers did when I sent them away from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.H6213H1H7971H6947H7200H776 9"For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the LORD had given them.H5927H5158H812H7200H776H5106H3820H1121H3478H935H776H3068H5414 10"So the LORD'S anger was aroused on that day, and He swore an oath, saying,H3068H639H2734H3117H7650H559 11'Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me,H518H582H5927H4714H6242H8141H1121H4605H7200H127H7650H85H3327H3290H4390H310 12'except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD.'H3612H1121H3312H7074H3091H1121H5126H4390H310H3068 13"So the LORD'S anger was aroused against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone.H3068H639H2734H3478H5128H4057H705H8141H1755H6213H7451H5869H3068H8552 14"And look! You have risen in your father's place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel.H6965H1H8635H2400H582H5595H2740H639H3068H3478 15"For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people."H7725H310H3254H3240H4057H7843H5971 16Then they came near to him and said: "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones,H5066H559H1129H1448H6629H4735H5892H2945 17"but we ourselves will be armed, ready to go before the children of Israel until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.H587H2363H2502H6440H1121H3478H935H4725H2945H3427H4013H5892H6440H3427H776 18"We will not return to our homes until every one of the children of Israel has received his inheritance.H7725H1004H1121H3478H5157H376H5159 19"For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this eastern side of the Jordan."H5157H5676H3383H1973H5159H935H5676H3383H4217 20Then Moses said to them: "If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before the LORD for the war,H4872H559H6213H1697H2502H6440H3068H4421 21"and all your armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven out His enemies from before Him,H5674H2502H5674H3383H6440H3068H3423H341H6440 22"and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you may return and be blameless before the LORD and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.H776H3533H6440H3068H310H7725H5355H3068H3478H776H272H6440H3068 23"But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.H6213H2398H3068H3045H2403H4672 24"Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what has proceeded out of your mouth."H1129H5892H2945H1448H6792H6213H3318H6310 25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying: "Your servants will do as my lord commands.H1121H1410H1121H7205H559H4872H559H5650H6213H113H6680 26"Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead;H2945H802H4735H929H5892H1568 27"but your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, just as my lord says."H5650H5674H2502H6635H6440H3068H4421H113H1696 28So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.H4872H6680H499H3548H3091H1121H5126H7218H1H4294H1121H3478 29And Moses said to them: "If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead as a possession.H4872H559H1121H1410H1121H7205H5674H3383H2502H4421H6440H3068H776H3533H6440H5414H776H1568H272 30"But if they do not cross over armed with you, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."H5674H2502H270H8432H776H3667 31Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: "As the LORD has said to your servants, so we will do.H1121H1410H1121H7205H6030H559H3068H1696H5650H6213 32"We will cross over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of the Jordan."H5168H5674H2502H6440H3068H776H3667H272H5159H5676H3383 33So Moses gave to the children of Gad, to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities within the borders, the cities of the surrounding country.H4872H5414H1121H1410H1121H7205H2677H7626H4519H1121H3130H4467H5511H4428H567H4467H5747H4428H1316H776H5892H1367H5892H776H5439 34And the children of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer,H1121H1410H1129H1769H5852H6177 35Atroth and Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah,H5855H3270H3011 36Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep.H1039H1028H4013H5892H1448H6629 37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim,H1121H7205H1129H2809H500H7156 38Nebo and Baal Meon (their names being changed) and Shibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.H5015H1186H8034H4142H7643H7121H8034H8034H5892H1129 39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.H1121H4353H1121H4519H3212H1568H3920H3423H567 40So Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.H4872H5414H1568H4353H1121H4519H3427 41Also Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth Jair.H2971H1121H4519H1980H3920H2333H7121H2334 42Then Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.H5025H1980H3920H7079H1323H7121H5025H8034
