ye sin against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. Build your cities for your children and folds for your sheep, and see ye do that ye have spoken. And the Children of Gad and of Ruben spake unto Moses saying: thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. Our children, our wives, substance and all our cattle shall remain here in the cities of Gilead. But we thy servants will go all harnessed for the war unto battle before the LORD, as my lord hath said. And Moses commanded Eleazer the priest: and Iosua the son of Nun and the ancient heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, and said unto them: If the children of Gad and Ruben will go with you over Iordan, all prepared to fight before the LORD: then when the land is subdued unto you, give them the land of Gilead to possess, but and if they will not go over with you in harness, then they shall have their possessions among you in the land of Canaan. And the children of Gad and Ruben answered saying: that which the LORD hath said unto thy servants we will do. We will go harnessed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall be on this side the Iordan. And Moses gave unto the children of Gad and of Ruben and unto half the tribe of Manasse the son of Ioseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land that longed unto the cities thereof in the coasts of the country round about. And the children of Gad built Dibo, ataroth Aroer, Atroth, Sophan, Iaeser, Iegabea, Bethnimra and Betharan strong {fenced} cities, and they built folds for their sheep. And the children of Ruben built Hesebon, Elalea, Kiriathaim, Nebo, Baal Meon and turned their names, and Sibama also: and gave names unto the cities which they built. And the children of Machir the son of Manasse went to Gilead and took it, and put out the Amorites that were therein. And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasse and he dwelt therein. And Iahir the son of Manasse went and took the small towns thereof, and called them the towns of Iair. And Nobah went and took kenath with the towns longing thereto, and called it Nobah after his own name. Chapter .xxxiij.
