1 Now the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 and the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 had a very * h3966 great * h6099 multitude * h7227 of cattle * h4735: and when they saw * h7200 h8799 the land * h776 of Jazer * h3270, and the land * h776 of Gilead * h1568, that, behold, the place * h4725 was a place * h4725 for cattle * h4735;
2 The children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 and the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 came * h935 h8799 and spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, and to Eleazar * h499 the priest * h3548, and unto the princes * h5387 of the congregation * h5712, saying * h559 h8800,
3 Ataroth * h5852, and Dibon * h1769, and Jazer * h3270, and Nimrah * h5247, and Heshbon * h2809, and Elealeh * h500, and Shebam * h7643, and Nebo * h5015, and Beon * h1194, Nimrah: also called, Bethnimrah Shebam: also called, Shibmah Beon: also called, Baalmeon
4 Even the country * h776 which the LORD * h3068 smote * h5221 h8689 before * h6440 the congregation * h5712 of Israel * h3478, is a land * h776 for cattle * h4735, and thy servants * h5650 have cattle * h4735:
5 Wherefore, said * h559 h8799 they, if we have found * h4672 h8804 grace * h2580 in thy sight * h5869, let this land * h776 be given * h5414 h8714 unto thy servants * h5650 for a possession * h272, and bring us not over * h5674 h8686 Jordan * h3383.
6 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 and to the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205, Shall your brethren * h251 go * h935 h8799 to war * h4421, and shall ye sit * h3427 h8799 here?
7 And wherefore discourage ye * h5106 h8686 h8675 * h5106 h8799 the heart * h3820 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 from going over * h5674 h8800 into the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 hath given * h5414 h8804 them? discourage: Heb. break
8 Thus did * h6213 h8804 your fathers * h1, when I sent * h7971 h8800 them from Kadeshbarnea * h6947 to see * h7200 h8800 the land * h776.
9 For when they went up * h5927 h8799 unto the valley * h5158 of Eshcol * h812, and saw * h7200 h8799 the land * h776, they discouraged * h5106 h8686 the heart * h3820 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, that they should not go * h935 h8800 into the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 had given * h5414 h8804 them.
10 And the LORD'S * h3068 anger * h639 was kindled * h2734 h8799 the same time * h3117, and he sware * h7650 h8735, saying * h559 h8800,
11 Surely * h518 none of the men * h582 that came up * h5927 h8802 out of Egypt * h4714, from twenty * h6242 years * h8141 old * h1121 and upward * h4605, shall see * h7200 h8799 the land * h127 which I sware * h7650 h8738 unto Abraham * h85, unto Isaac * h3327, and unto Jacob * h3290; because they have not wholly * h4390 h8765 followed * h310 me: wholly...: Heb. fulfilled after me
12 Save Caleb * h3612 the son * h1121 of Jephunneh * h3312 the Kenezite * h7074, and Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126: for they have wholly * h4390 h8765 followed * h310 the LORD * h3068.
13 And the LORD'S * h3068 anger * h639 was kindled * h2734 h8799 against Israel * h3478, and he made them wander * h5128 h8686 in the wilderness * h4057 forty * h705 years * h8141, until all the generation * h1755, that had done * h6213 h8802 evil * h7451 in the sight * h5869 of the LORD * h3068, was consumed * h8552 h8800.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up * h6965 h8804 in your fathers * h1' stead, an increase * h8635 of sinful * h2400 men * h582, to augment * h5595 h8800 yet the fierce * h2740 anger * h639 of the LORD * h3068 toward Israel * h3478.
15 For if ye turn away * h7725 h8799 from after * h310 him, he will yet again * h3254 h8804 leave * h3240 h8687 them in the wilderness * h4057; and ye shall destroy * h7843 h8765 all this people * h5971.
16 And they came near * h5066 h8799 unto him, and said * h559 h8799, We will build * h1129 h8799 sheepfolds * h1448 * h6629 here for our cattle * h4735, and cities * h5892 for our little ones * h2945:
17 But we ourselves * h587 will go ready * h2363 h8803 armed * h2502 h8735 before * h6440 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, until we have brought * h935 h8689 them unto their place * h4725: and our little ones * h2945 shall dwell * h3427 h8804 in the fenced * h4013 cities * h5892 because * h6440 of the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 of the land * h776.
18 We will not return * h7725 h8799 unto our houses * h1004, until the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 have inherited * h5157 h8692 every man * h376 his inheritance * h5159.
19 For we will not inherit * h5157 h8799 with them on yonder side * h5676 Jordan * h3383, or forward * h1973; because our inheritance * h5159 is fallen * h935 h8804 to us on this side * h5676 Jordan * h3383 eastward * h4217.
20 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto them, If ye will do * h6213 h8799 this thing * h1697, if ye will go armed * h2502 h8735 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068 to war * h4421,
21 And will go * h5674 all of you armed * h2502 h8803 over * h5674 h8804 Jordan * h3383 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068, until he hath driven out * h3423 h8687 his enemies * h341 h8802 from before * h6440 him,
22 And the land * h776 be subdued * h3533 h8738 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068: then afterward * h310 ye shall return * h7725 h8799, and be guiltless * h5355 before the LORD * h3068, and before Israel * h3478; and this land * h776 shall be your possession * h272 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068.
23 But if ye will not do so * h6213 h8799, behold, ye have sinned * h2398 h8804 against the LORD * h3068: and be sure * h3045 h8798 your sin * h2403 will find you out * h4672 h8799.
24 Build * h1129 h8798 you cities * h5892 for your little ones * h2945, and folds * h1448 for your sheep * h6792; and do * h6213 h8799 that which hath proceeded * h3318 h8802 out of your mouth * h6310.
25 And the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 and the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 spake * h559 h8799 unto Moses * h4872, saying * h559 h8800, Thy servants * h5650 will do * h6213 h8799 as my lord * h113 commandeth * h6680 h8764.
26 Our little ones * h2945, our wives * h802, our flocks * h4735, and all our cattle * h929, shall be there in the cities * h5892 of Gilead * h1568:
27 But thy servants * h5650 will pass over * h5674 h8799, every man armed * h2502 h8803 for war * h6635, before * h6440 the LORD * h3068 to battle * h4421, as my lord * h113 saith * h1696 h8802.
28 So concerning them Moses * h4872 commanded * h6680 h8762 Eleazar * h499 the priest * h3548, and Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126, and the chief * h7218 fathers * h1 of the tribes * h4294 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478:
29 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto them, If the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 and the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 will pass with you over * h5674 h8799 Jordan * h3383, every man armed * h2502 h8803 to battle * h4421, before * h6440 the LORD * h3068, and the land * h776 shall be subdued * h3533 h8738 before * h6440 you; then ye shall give * h5414 h8804 them the land * h776 of Gilead * h1568 for a possession * h272:
30 But if they will not pass over * h5674 h8799 with you armed * h2502 h8803, they shall have possessions * h270 h8738 among * h8432 you in the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667.
31 And the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 and the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 answered * h6030 h8799, saying * h559 h8800, As the LORD * h3068 hath said * h1696 h8765 unto thy servants * h5650, so will we do * h6213 h8799.
32 We will * h5168 pass over * h5674 h8799 armed * h2502 h8803 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068 into the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667, that the possession * h272 of our inheritance * h5159 on this side * h5676 Jordan * h3383 may be ours.
33 And Moses * h4872 gave * h5414 h8799 unto them, even to the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410, and to the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205, and unto half * h2677 the tribe * h7626 of Manasseh * h4519 the son * h1121 of Joseph * h3130, the kingdom * h4467 of Sihon * h5511 king * h4428 of the Amorites * h567, and the kingdom * h4467 of Og * h5747 king * h4428 of Bashan * h1316, the land * h776, with the cities * h5892 thereof in the coasts * h1367, even the cities * h5892 of the country * h776 round about * h5439.
34 And the children * h1121 of Gad * h1410 built * h1129 h8799 Dibon * h1769, and Ataroth * h5852, and Aroer * h6177,
35 And Atroth, Shophan * h5855, and Jaazer * h3270, and Jogbehah * h3011, Jaazer: also called, Jazer
36 And Bethnimrah * h1039, and Bethharan * h1028, fenced * h4013 cities * h5892: and folds * h1448 for sheep * h6629. Bethnimrah: also called, Nimrah
37 And the children * h1121 of Reuben * h7205 built * h1129 h8804 Heshbon * h2809, and Elealeh * h500, and Kirjathaim * h7156,
38 And Nebo * h5015, and Baalmeon * h1186, (their names * h8034 being changed * h4142 h8716,) and Shibmah * h7643: and gave * h7121 h8799 other names * h8034 * h8034 unto the cities * h5892 which they builded * h1129 h8804. gave...: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities
39 And the children * h1121 of Machir * h4353 the son * h1121 of Manasseh * h4519 went * h3212 h8799 to Gilead * h1568, and took * h3920 h8799 it, and dispossessed * h3423 h8686 the Amorite * h567 which was in it.
40 And Moses * h4872 gave * h5414 h8799 Gilead * h1568 unto Machir * h4353 the son * h1121 of Manasseh * h4519; and he dwelt * h3427 h8799 therein.
41 And Jair * h2971 the son * h1121 of Manasseh * h4519 went * h1980 h8804 and took * h3920 h8799 the small towns * h2333 thereof, and called * h7121 h8799 them Havothjair * h2334.
42 And Nobah * h5025 went * h1980 h8804 and took * h3920 h8799 Kenath * h7079, and the villages * h1323 thereof, and called * h7121 h8799 it Nobah * h5025, after his own name * h8034.
