04:032:018 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of
Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
04:032:019 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or
forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan
eastward.
04:032:020 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye
will go armed before the LORD to war,
04:032:021 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,
until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
04:032:022 And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye
shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and
this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
04:032:023 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the
LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
04:032:024 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your
sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
04:032:025 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake
unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
04:032:026 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle,
shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
04:032:027 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war,
before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
04:032:028 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and
Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the
children of Israel:
04:032:029 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the
children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to
battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then
ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
04:032:030 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall
have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
04:032:031 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,
saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
04:032:032 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of
Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may
be our's.
04:032:033 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and
to the children of Reuben, and unto half the 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, with the cities thereof in the coasts,
even the cities of the country round about.
04:032:034 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
04:032:035 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
04:032:036 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for
sheep.
04:032:037 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim,
04:032:038 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and
Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
