Numbers 32:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 32:24

22 and ^athe land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward ^byou may return and be blameless before the Lord and before Israel; and ^cthis land shall be your possession before the Lord.

23 But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure ^ayour sin will find you out.

24 ^aBuild cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do¹ what has proceeded out of your mouth.”

25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying: “Your servants will do as my lord commands.

26 ^aOur little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead;

27 ^abut your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, just as my lord says.”

28 So Moses gave command ^aconcerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.

29 And 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.
