31:49. We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting. 31:50. Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us. 31:51. And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds, 31:52. In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions. 31:53. For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own. 31:54. And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord. Numbers Chapter 32 The tribes of Ruben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasses, receive their inheritance on the east side of Jordan, upon conditions approved of by Moses. 32:1. And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle, 32:2. They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said: 32:3. Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon, 32:4. The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle: 32:5. And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan. 32:6. And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here? 32:7. Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them? 32:8. Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land? 32:9. And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them. 32:10. And he swore in his anger, saying: 32:11. If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me, 32:12. Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will. 32:13. And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed. 32:14. And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel. 32:15. For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.
