Numbers 32:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 32:29

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.

30 But if they do not cross over armed with you, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”

31 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: “As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.

32 We will cross over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of the Jordan.”

33 So ^aMoses gave to the children of Gad, to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, ^bthe kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities within the borders, the cities of the surrounding country.

34 And the children of Gad built ^aDibon and Ataroth and ^bAroer,

35 Atroth and Shophan and ^aJazer and Jogbehah,

36 ^aBeth Nimrah and Beth Haran, ^bfortified cities, and folds for sheep.

37 And the children of Reuben built ^aHeshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim,

38 ^aNebo and ^bBaal Meon ^c(their names being changed) and Shibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

39 And the children of ^aMachir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

40 So Moses ^agave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.

41 Also ^aJair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them ^bHavoth Jair.

42 Then Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.
