Numbers 32

Reuben and Gad Settle in Gilead

1

Now the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 and the sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 hadh1961 an  aexceedinglyh3966 largeh6099 numberh6099 of livestockh4735. So when they sawh7200 the landh776 of  bJazerh3270 and the landh776 of Gileadh1568, that  1it was indeedh2009 a placeh4725 suitableh4725 for livestockh4735,

2

the sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 cameh935 and spokeh559 to Mosesh4872 and to Eleazarh499 the priesth3548 and to the leadersh5387a of the congregationh5712, sayingh559,

3

aAtarothh5852, Dibonh1769, Jazerh3270, Nimrahh5247, Heshbonh2809, Elealehh500, Sebamh7643, Neboh5015a and Beonh1194,

4

the landh776  awhichh834 the LORDh3068  1conqueredh5221 beforeh6440 the congregationh5712 of Israelh3478, is a landh776 for livestockh4735, and your servantsh5650 have livestockh4735."

5

They saidh559, "Ifh518 we have foundh4672 favorh2580 in your sighth5869, let thish2088 landh776 be givenh5414 to your servantsh5650 as a possessionh272; do not takeh5674a us acrossh5674a the Jordanh3383."

6

But Mosesh4872 saidh559 to the sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and to the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205, "Shall your brothersh251 goh935 to warh4421 while you yourselvesh864b sith3427 hereh6311?

7

aNow whyh4100 are you  1discouragingh5106h3820 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 from crossingh5674a overh5674a into the landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has givenh5414 them?

8

1Thish3541 is whath3541 your fathersh1 didh6213a when I senth7971 them from  aKadesh-barneah6947 to seeh7200 the landh776.

9

"For when they wenth5927 up to  athe  1valleyh5158a of Eshcolh812 and sawh7200 the landh776, they  2discouragedh5106h3820 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 so that they did not goh935 into the landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 had givenh5414 them.

10

"So  athe LORD'Sh3068 angerh639 burnedh2734 in that dayh3117, and He sworeh7650, sayingh559,

11

aNoneh518 of the menh376 who cameh5927 up from Egypth4714, from twentyh6242 yearsh8141 oldh1121 and upwardh4605, shall seeh7200 the landh127 whichh834 I sworeh7650 to Abrahamh85, to Isaach3327 and to Jacobh3290; for they did not followh310 Me fullyh4390,

12

excepth1115 Calebh3612 the sonh1121 of Jephunnehh3312 the Kenizziteh7074 and Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126,  afor they have followedh310 the LORDh3068 fullyh4390.'

13

aSo the LORD'Sh3068 angerh639 burnedh2734 against Israelh3478, and He made them wanderh5128 in the wildernessh4057b fortyh705 yearsh8141, untilh5704 the entireh3605 generationh1755 of those who had doneh6213a evilh7451a in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068 was destroyedh8552.

14

"Now beholdh2009, you have risenh6965 up in your fathers'h1 placeh8478, a broodh8635 of sinfulh2400 menh376, to addh5595 stillh5750 moreh5750 to the burningh2740  aangerh639 of the LORDh3068 againsth413 Israelh3478.

15

"For if you  aturnh7725 awayh7725 from followingh310 Him, He will onceh3254h5750 moreh3254h5750 abandonh5117 them in the wildernessh4057b, and you will destroyh7843 allh3605 theseh2088 peopleh5971a."

16

Then they cameh5066 nearh5066 to him and saidh559, "We will buildh1129 hereh6311 sheepfoldsh6629h1448 for our livestockh4735 and citiesh5892b for our littleh2945 onesh2945;

17

 abut we ourselvesh587 will be armedh2502b readyh2363a to go beforeh6440 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, untilh5704h834h518 we have broughth935 them to their placeh4725, while our littleh2945 onesh2945 liveh3427 in the fortifiedh4013 citiesh5892b becauseh4480h6440 of the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776.

18

aWe will not returnh7725 to our homesh1004 untilh5704 everyh376 oneh376 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 has possessedh5157 his inheritanceh5159.

19

"For we will not haveh5157 an inheritanceh5157 with them on the otherh5676 sideh5676 of the Jordanh3383 and beyondh1973, becauseh3588 our inheritanceh5159 has fallenh935 to us  aon this sideh5676 of the Jordanh3383 toward the easth4217."

20

 aSo Mosesh4872 saidh559 to them, "Ifh518 you will doh6213a  1thish2088, ifh518 you will armh2502b yourselves beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 for the warh4421,

21

and allh3605 of you armedh2502b men crossh5674a overh5674a the Jordanh3383 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 untilh5704 He has drivenh3423 His enemiesh340 out from beforeh6440 Him,

22

 aand the landh776 is subduedh3533 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, then afterwardh310 you shall returnh7725 and be freeh5355a of obligationh5355a towardh4480 the LORDh3068 and towardh4480 Israelh3478, and thish2088 landh776 shall be yours for a possessionh272 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068.

23

"But ifh518 you will not doh6213a soh3651, beholdh2009, you have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068, and be sureh3045  ayour sinh2403b will findh4672 you out.

24

"Buildh1129 yourselves citiesh5892b for your littleh2945 onesh2945, and sheepfoldsh1448 for your sheeph6792, and  adoh6213a  1what you have promisedh3318h4480h6310."

25

The sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 spokeh559 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559, "Your servantsh5650 will doh6213a justh3512c as my lordh113 commandsh6680.

26

aOur littleh2945 onesh2945, our wivesh802, our livestockh4735 and allh3605 our cattleh929 shall  1remainh1961 thereh8033 in the citiesh5892b of Gileadh1568;

27

while your servantsh5650, everyoneh3605 who is armedh2502b for warh6635, will  acrossh5674a overh5674a in the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068 to battleh4421, justh3512c as my lordh113 saysh1696."

28

So Mosesh4872 gaveh6680 commandh6680 concerning them to Eleazarh499 the priesth3548, and to Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126, and to the headsh7218 of the fathers'h1 households of the tribesh4294 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

29

Mosesh4872 saidh559 to them, "Ifh518 the sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205, everyoneh3605 who is armedh2502b for battleh4421, will crossh5674a with you overh5674a the Jordanh3383 in the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068, and the landh776 is subduedh3533 beforeh6440 you, then you shall giveh5414 them the landh776 of Gileadh1568 for a possessionh272;

30

but ifh518 they will not crossh5674a overh5674a with you armedh2502b, they shall haveh270 possessionsh270 amongh8432 you in the landh776 of Canaanh3667a."

31

The sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 answeredh6030a, sayingh559, "As the LORDh3068 has saidh1696 to your servantsh5650, soh3651 we will doh6213a.

32

"We ourselvesh5168 will crossh5674a overh5674a armedh2502b in the presenceh6440 of the LORDh3068 into the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, and the possessionh272 of our inheritanceh5159 shall remain with us acrossh4480h5676 the Jordanh3383."

33

 aSo Mosesh4872 gaveh5414 to them, to the sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 and to the sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 and to the half-tribeh2677h7626 of Joseph'sh3130 sonh1121 Manassehh4519, the kingdomh4467 of Sihonh5511, kingh4428 of the Amoritesh567 and the kingdomh4467 of Ogh5747, the kingh4428 of Bashanh1316, the landh776 with its citiesh5892b with their  1territoriesh1367, the citiesh5892b of the surroundingh5439 landh776.

34

The sonsh1121 of Gadh1410 builth1129 Dibonh1769 and Atarothh5852 and  aAroerh6177,

35

and Atroth-shophanh5855 and Jazerh3270 and Jogbehahh3011,

36

and  aBeth-nimrahh1039 and Beth-haranh1027 as fortifiedh4013 citiesh5892b, and sheepfoldsh1448 for sheeph6629.

37

The sonsh1121 of Reubenh7205 builth1129 Heshbonh2809 and Elealehh500 and Kiriathaimh7156,

38

and  aNeboh5015a and Baal-meonh1186--their namesh8034 being changedh5437--and Sibmahh7643, and they gaveh7121 other namesh8034 to the citiesh5892b whichh834 they builth1129.

39

The sonsh1121 of  aMachirh4353 the sonh1121 of Manassehh4519 wenth1980 to Gileadh1568 and tookh3920 it, and dispossessedh3423 the Amoritesh567 whoh834 were in it.

40

So Mosesh4872 gaveh5414  aGileadh1568 to Machirh4353 the sonh1121 of Manassehh4519, and he livedh3427 in it.

41

Jairh2971 the sonh1121 of Manassehh4519 wenth1980 and tookh3920 its  1townsh2333, and calledh7121 them  2 aHavvoth-jairh2334.

42

Nobahh5025 wenth1980 and tookh3920 Kenathh7079 and its villagesh1323, and calledh7121 it Nobahh5025 after  ahis own nameh8034.
