1 The Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, saw that the lands of Jazerand Gileadwere suitable for livestock. 2 So they came to Mosesand Eleazarthe priest and to the leaders of the community, and said, 3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Neboand Beon— 4 the land the Lordsubdued before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock. 5 If we have found favor in your eyes," they said, "let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan."
6 Mosessaid to the Gadites and Reubenites, "Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here? 7 Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lordhas given them? 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barneato look over the land. 9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lordhad given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was aroused that day and he swore this oath: 11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egyptwill see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaacand Jacob— 12 not one except Calebson of Jephunnehthe Kenizzite and Joshuason of Nun, for they followed the Lordwholeheartedly.’ 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.
14 "And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lordeven more angry with Israel. 15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction."
16 Then they came up to him and said, "We would like to build pens here for our livestock and cities for our women and children. 17 But we will arm ourselves for battle32:17 Septuagint; Hebrew will be quick to arm ourselvesand go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance. 19 We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan."
20 Then Mosessaid to them, "If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the Lordfor battle 21 and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordanbefore the Lorduntil he has driven his enemies out before him— 22 then when the land is subdued before the Lord, you may return and be free from your obligation to the Lordand to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the Lord.
23 "But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out. 24 Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised."
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, "We your servants will do as our lord commands. 26 Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead. 27 But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the Lord, just as our lord says."
28 Then Mosesgave orders about them to Eleazarthe priest and Joshuason of Nunand to the family heads of the Israelite tribes. 29 He said to them, "If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordanwith you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gileadas their possession. 30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan."
31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, "Your servants will do what the Lordhas said. 32 We will cross over before the Lordinto Canaanarmed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan."
33 Then Mosesgave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manassehson of Josephthe kingdom of Sihonking of the Amorites and the kingdom of Ogking of Bashan—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.
34 The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth Nimrahand Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks. 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealehand Kiriathaim, 38 as well as Neboand Baal Meon(these names were changed) and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Makir son of Manassehwent to Gilead, captured it and drove out the Amorites who were there. 40 So Mosesgave Gileadto the Makirites, the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. 41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.32:41 Or them the settlements of Jair42 And Nobahcaptured Kenathand its surrounding settlements and called it Nobahafter himself.
