Numbers 32:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 32:6

4 the country ^awhich the Lord defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”

5 Therefore they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.”

6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: “Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here?

7 Now why will you ^adiscourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord has given them?

8 Thus your fathers did ^awhen I sent them away from Kadesh Barnea ^bto see the land.

9 For ^awhen they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
