20 The Offer is Accepted“If you do this,” Moses replied to them, “that is, if you equip yourselves for war in the LORD’s presence
21 and every one of your armed soldiers crosses over the Jordan River in the presence of the LORD until he has dispossessed his enemies ahead of him
22 and subjugated the land before him, then afterwards when you return, you’ll be able to stand blameless before the LORD and before Israel. This land will then be your possession before the LORD.
23 “But if you won’t do so, look out! You will be sinning against the LORD. Be certain of this, that your sin will catch up to you!
24 So after you’ve built cities for your families and corrals for your cattle, be sure to keep your promises.”
25Moses Assigns the TerritoryThen the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben spoke up. “Your servants will do exactly what our master has commanded.” They said.
26 “Our children, wives, flocks, and all our cattle will be settled in the cities of Gilead,
27 but every soldier that we’ve equipped for battle will cross the Jordan River in the presence of the LORD, as our master has spoken.”
28 So Moses instructed Eleazar the priest and Nun’s son Joshua, and the officers of the ancestral tribes of the Israelis, 29 telling them, “If the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben cross over the Jordan River with you, that is, all of their soldiers who’ve been equipped for battle in the LORD’s presence, so that the land is subjugated right before your eyes, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as their possession.
