Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock. Num 21:32Gen 13:10-11Gen 13:2Num 32:3Num 32:351Jn 2:162Sa 24:5Exo 12:38 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, Isa 16:8-9Jer 48:34Jos 13:17Num 32:34-38Isa 15:2-4Isa 15:6Jdg 11:26Jer 48:2 the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.” Num 21:34Deu 2:24-35Num 21:24 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.” 1Sa 20:32Sa 14:22Deu 1:37Deu 3:25-26Est 5:2Gen 19:19Jer 31:2Jos 7:7
Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? 1Co 13:52Sa 11:11Php 2:4 Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them? Act 21:13Deu 1:28Num 13:27Num 21:4Num 32:9 Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. Deu 1:19-25Jos 14:6-7Num 13:2-26Num 14:2 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them. Deu 1:24-28Num 13:23 The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying, Num 14:11Deu 1:34-40Ezk 20:15Heb 3:8-19Num 14:21Num 14:23Num 14:29Psa 95:11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me, Num 14:28-30Num 14:24Num 26:2Deu 1:35Jos 14:8-9Deu 2:14-15Num 26:64-65 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’ Deu 1:36Num 14:24Num 14:30Jos 14:8-9Num 26:65 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in the LORD’s sight was consumed. 1Co 10:5Heb 3:16-19Num 14:33-35Deu 2:14-15Num 26:64-65Psa 78:33
“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. Act 7:51-52Luk 11:48Mat 23:31-33Deu 1:34-35Ezk 20:21Ezr 10:10Ezr 9:13-14Gen 5:3 For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.” 1Co 8:11-122Ch 15:22Ch 7:19-22Deu 28:15-68Deu 30:17-19Jos 22:16-18Lev 26:14-18Mat 18:7
They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones; Gen 33:17Num 34:22 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. Jos 4:12-13Deu 3:18-20Num 32:29-32 We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance. Jos 22:1-5 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.” Jos 13:81Ch 5:25-262Ki 10:32-332Ki 15:29Gen 13:10-12Gen 14:12Jos 1:14-15Jos 12:1-6
Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war, Jos 4:12-13Deu 3:18-20Jos 1:13-15Jos 22:2-4 and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him, and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before the LORD. Jos 22:4Jos 22:9Deu 3:20Jos 1:15Jos 13:82Sa 3:28Deu 3:12-18Jos 10:30
“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out. Isa 59:12Pro 13:21Gen 44:16Psa 90:81Co 4:5Gen 4:7Rom 2:9Deu 28:15-68 Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.” Num 32:16Num 30:2Num 32:34-42
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. Jos 1:13-14 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead; Jos 1:14 but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.” Jos 4:122Co 10:4-52Ti 4:7-8Eph 6:10-18Num 11:28Num 12:11Num 32:17Num 36:2
So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel. Jos 1:13 Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” Jos 22:19
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do. We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land. Jos 12:6Deu 29:8Deu 3:12-17Jos 22:41Ch 12:311Ch 26:321Ch 5:18Deu 2:30-33 The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, Deu 2:36Num 32:3Isa 17:2Num 21:20Num 33:45-46 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, Num 32:1Num 32:3 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep. Num 32:3 The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, Num 21:27Num 32:3Isa 15:4 Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built. Isa 46:1Num 32:3Exo 23:13Jos 23:7Gen 26:18Num 22:41Psa 16:4 The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
