1 Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazerand Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock. 2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazarthe priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said, 3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam,32:3 Hebrew; see verse 38, and similarly in SP and LXX SibmahNebo, and Beon, 4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock — and your servants have livestock."
5 "If we have found favor in your sight," they said, "let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan."
6 But Mosesasked the Gadites and Reubenites, "Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? 7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them? 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barneato inspect the land.
9 For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcoland saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them. 10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying, 11 ‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egyptwill see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob— 12 not one except Calebson of Jephunnehthe Kenizzite and Joshuason of Nun— because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’ 13 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.
14 Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel. 15 For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction."
16 Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, "We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones. 17 But we will arm ourselves and be ready32:17 LXX we will arm ourselves for battleto go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance. 19 Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordanand beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan."
20 Mosesreplied, "If you will do this— if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle, 21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordanbefore the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him, 22 then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD. 23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD — and be assured that your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised."
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, "Your servants will do just as our lord commands. 26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead. 27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says."
28 So Mosesgave orders about them to Eleazarthe priest, to Joshuason of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel. 29 And Mosessaid to them, "If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordanwith you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gileadas a possession. 30 But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan."
31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, "As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do. 32 We will cross over into the land of Canaanarmed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan."
33 So Mosesgave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manassehson of Josephthe kingdom of Sihonking of the Amorites and the kingdom of Ogking of Bashan— the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haranas fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.
37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 as well as Neboand Baal-meon(whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Machirson of Manassehwent to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 40 So Mosesgave Gileadto the clan of Machirson of Manasseh, and they settled there. 41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.32:41 Havvoth-jair means the villages of Jair.42 And Nobahwent and captured Kenathand its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
