RF NUM 32:1 The Reubenites and the Gadites ask for Yazer and Gilad.
But the number of cattle belonging to the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad was very numerous, and they saw that the district of Yazer, and the district of Gilad were places for cattle.
RF NUM 32:2 So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came to Moses and Aliazer the priest, and the princes of the Parliament, to say;—
RF NUM 32:3 "Ataroth, and Diban, and Nimrah, and Kheshbon, and Alalah, and Shibma, and Nebo, and Ban,—
RF NUM 32:4 the country that the EVER-LIVING has conquered before the Commonwealth of Israel,—is a place for cattle, and your servants possess cattle.
RF NUM 32:5 And," they continued, "if then your servants have found favour in your eyes, give this district to your servants to possess and we will not pass over the Jordan."
RF NUM 32:6 But Moses said to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben;—"Your brothers are going over the Jordan, and would you stay here?
RF NUM 32:7 Why should you discourage the hearts of the children of Israel from passing to the country which the EVER-LIVING has given to them?
RF NUM 32:8 Your fathers did the same, when I sent them from Kadesh-Barnea to survey the country,
RF NUM 32:9 when they proceeded to the brook of Ashkol, and examined the country, and discouraged the hearts of the children of Israel, so that they would not go to the land which the EVER-LIVING had given them,
RF NUM 32:10 and the anger of JEHOVAH burnt at that time, and He declared, saying,
RF NUM 32:11 The men who come up out of the Mitzeraim, from twenty years old and upwards, shall not see the country which I promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and Jacob,—to for they are not sincerely following Me;—
RF NUM 32:12 except Kaleb the son of Jephunah, the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun, who sincerely followed the EVER-LIVING.'
RF NUM 32:13 The anger of JEHOVAH consequently burnt against Israel, and they wandered forty years in the Wilderness, until all that generation who had done wrong in the sight of the EVER-LIVING had died.
RF NUM 32:14 And now you arise in the place of your fathers to continue the burning anger of the LORD against Israel,
RF NUM 32:15 for you are turning back from Him, and will cause Him to retain them in the Wilderness and consume all this people!"
RF NUM 32:16 But they pressed upon him and said, We will build folds to guard our sheep, and cities for our children,
RF NUM 32:17 but we ourselves are ready for action, and will advance ardently before the children of Israel to their districts wherever they may go. But our children can rest in the fortified towns, guarded from the inhabitants of the country.
RF NUM 32:18 We will not return to our homes until the children of Israel have each been put into possession of his estate.
RF NUM 32:19 And we will not inherit over the Jordan, nor westward, but our possessions shall be to the east of the fords of the Jordan."
RF NUM 32:20 Then Moses replied to them; "If you will do this,—if you will be ready for action before the EVER-LIVING in the war,
RF NUM 32:21 and pass fully armed over the Jordan before the EVER-LIVING until His enemies are driven from before Him,
RF NUM 32:22 then, when the country is subdued to JEHOVAH, you may return; and this district shall be given you from the EVER-LIVING, and from Israel, and this country shall be yours to possess it in the presence of the LORD.
RF NUM 32:23 But if you will not do so, then you will sin against the EVER-LIVING,—and you know the punishment for sin that will meet you.
RF NUM 32:24 You can build towns for your children, and folds for your flocks,—and return when you have done so."
RF NUM 32:25 The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben replied to Moses saying; "Your servants will do as Our Lord commands.
RF NUM 32:26 Our children, wives and cattle shall be here in the cities of Gilad;
RF NUM 32:27 but your servants will pass over fully equipped for war with the army of the EVER-LIVING, as your Lordship has said. '
RF NUM 32:28 The Parliament called to sanction the Proposals of Reuben and Gad. Then Moses convoked Aliazer the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,—
RF NUM 32:29 and Moses said to them, "If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over the Jordan fully equipped for the war of the EVER-LIVING, and subdue the country before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilad for a possession.
RF NUM 32:30 But if they do not go over ready for action, then they shall only inherit in the land of Canaan."
RF NUM 32:31 The sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben answered, saying;—"Your servants will do what the EVER-LIVING has said.
RF NUM 32:32 We will pass over fully equipped before the EVER-LIVING to the land of Canaan, and we will possess our inheritance on this side of the Jordan."
RF NUM 32:33 So Moses gave to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdoms of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdoms of Og, king of Bashan. The land and its towns, with the surrounding country of the villages.
RF NUM 32:34 So the sons of Gad built Diban, and Ataroth, and Arar,
RF NUM 32:35 and AtarothShufan, and Jazer, and Igbakhah,
RF NUM 32:36 and Beth-minrah, and Beth-horon;—fortified towns, with folds for sheep.
RF NUM 32:37 And the sons of Reuben built Kheshbon, and Alalah, Kiriathaim,
RF NUM 32:38 and Athbano, and Athbal-maon, changing its name, and Sibma, and they called Bethmoth, Shemoth. These were the towns they built.
RF NUM 32:39 Then the sons of Makir, the son of Manasseh, marched to Gilad and captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were in it,
RF NUM 32:40 so Moses gave Gilad to Makir, the descendant of Manasseh, and he occupied it.
RF NUM 32:41 Then Yair the son of Manasseh marched and captured some forts, and called them the forts of Yair.
RF NUM 32:42 Then Nobakh marched and captured Kaneth, and its villages, and named it Nobakh, after his own name.
