Numbers 32:18-33

CAB(i) 18 We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance. 19 And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of the Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond the Jordan eastward. 20 And Moses said to them, If you will do according to these words, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle, 21 and everyone of you will pass over the Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face, 22 and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards you shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards to Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord. 23 But if you will not do so, you will sin against the Lord; and you shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you. 24 And you shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and you shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth. 25 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as our Lord commands. 26 Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Gilead. 27 But your servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as the Lord says. 28 And Moses appointed to them for judges Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel. 29 And Moses said to them, If the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad will pass over the Jordan with you, everyone armed for war before the Lord, and you shall subdue the land before you, then you shall give to them the land of Gilead for a possession. 30 But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Canaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Canaan. 31 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to His servants, that will we do. 32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you shall give us our inheritance beyond the Jordan. 33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, and to the half tribe of Mannasseh of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
