[1] Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock. [2] Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, [3] “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, [4] the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.” [5] They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.” [6] Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? [7] Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? [8] Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. [9] For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. [10] Yahweh’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying, [11] ‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me, [12] except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed Yahweh completely.’ [13] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in Yahweh’s sight was consumed. [14] “Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel. [15] For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.” [16] They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones; [17] but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. [18] We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance. [19] For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.” [20] Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, [21] and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh until he has driven out his enemies from before him, [22] and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to Yahweh and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before Yahweh. [23] “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out. [24] Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.” [25] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. [26] Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead; [27] but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says.” [28] So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel. [29] Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; [30] but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” [31] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. [32] We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.” [33] Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-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, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land. [34] The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, [35] Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, [36] Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep. [37] The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, [38] Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built. [39] The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. [40] Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein. [41] Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair. [42] Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

[1] Now the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 had a very H3966 great H6099 multitude H7227 of cattle: H4735 and when they saw H7200 (QalImpf) the land H776 of Jazer, H3270 and the land H776 of Gilead, H1568 that, behold, the place H4725 was a place H4725 for cattle; H4735 [2] the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 came H935 (QalImpf) and spake H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 and to Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and unto the princes H5387 of the congregation, H5712 saying, H559 (QalInf) [3] Ataroth, H5852 and Dibon, H1769 and Jazer, H3270 and Nimrah, H5247 and Heshbon, H2809 and Elealeh, H500 and Shebam, H7643 and Nebo, H5015 and Beon, H1194 [4] even the country H776 which the Lord H3068 smote H5221 (HiphPerf) before H6440 the congregation H5712 of Israel, H3478 is a land H776 for cattle, H4735 and thy servants H5650 have cattle: H4735 [5] wherefore, said H559 (QalImpf) they, if we have found H4672 (QalPerf) grace H2580 in thy sight, H5869 let this land H776 be given H5414 (HophImpf) unto thy servants H5650 for a possession, H272 and bring us not over H5674 (HiphImpf) Jordan. H3383 [6] And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and to the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 Shall your brethren H251 go H935 (QalImpf) to war, H4421 and shall ye sit H3427 (QalImpf) here? [7] And wherefore discourage§ ye H5106 (HiphImpf/Qere) the heart H3820 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 from going over H5674 (QalInf) into the land H776 which the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) them? [8] Thus did H6213 (QalPerf) your fathers, H1 when I sent H7971 (QalInf) them from Kadesh-barnea H6947 to see H7200 (QalInf) the land. H776 [9] For when they went up H5927 (QalImpf) unto the valley H5158 of Eshcol, H812 and saw H7200 (QalImpf) the land, H776 they discouraged H5106 (HiphImpf) the heart H3820 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that they should not go H935 (QalInf) into the land H776 which the Lord H3068 had given H5414 (QalPerf) them. [10] And the Lord’s H3068 anger H639 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) the same time, H3117 and he sware, H7650 (NiphImpf) saying, H559 (QalInf) [11] Surely H518 none of the men H582 that came up H5927 (QalActPtc) out of Egypt, H4714 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and upward, H4605 shall see H7200 (QalImpf) the land H127 which I sware H7650 (NiphPerf) unto Abraham, H85 unto Isaac, H3327 and unto Jacob; H3290 because they have not wholly H4390 (PielPerf) followed H310 me:§ [12] save Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 the Kenezite, H7074 and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun: H5126 for they have wholly H4390 (PielPerf) followed H310 the Lord. H3068 [13] And the Lord’s H3068 anger H639 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) against Israel, H3478 and he made them wander H5128 (HiphImpf) in the wilderness H4057 forty H705 years, H8141 until all the generation, H1755 that had done H6213 (QalActPtc) evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord, H3068 was consumed. H8552 (QalInf) [14] And, behold, ye are risen up H6965 (QalPerf) in your fathers’ H1 stead, an increase H8635 of sinful H2400 men, H582 to augment H5595 (QalInf) yet the fierce H2740 anger H639 of the Lord H3068 toward Israel. H3478 [15] For if ye turn away H7725 (QalImpf) from after H310 him, he will yet again H3254 (QalPerf) leave H3240 (HiphInf) them in the wilderness; H4057 and ye shall destroy H7843 (PielPerf) all this people. H5971 [16] And they came near H5066 (QalImpf) unto him, and said, H559 (QalImpf) We will build H1129 (QalImpf) sheepfolds H1448 here for our cattle, H4735 and cities H5892 for our little ones: H2945 [17] but we ourselves H587 will go ready H2363 (QalPasPtc) armed H2502 (NiphImpf) before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 until we have brought H935 (HiphPerf) them unto their place: H4725 and our little ones H2945 shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) in the fenced H4013 cities H5892 because H6440 of the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of the land. H776 [18] We will not return H7725 (QalImpf) unto our houses, H1004 until the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have inherited H5157 (HithInf) every man H376 his inheritance. H5159 [19] For we will not inherit H5157 (QalImpf) with them on yonder side H5676 Jordan, H3383 or forward; H1973 because our inheritance H5159 is fallen H935 (QalPerf) to us on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 eastward. H4217 [20] And Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, If ye will do H6213 (QalImpf) this thing, H1697 if ye will go armed H2502 (NiphImpf) before H6440 the Lord H3068 to war, H4421 [21] and will go H5674 all of you armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) over H5674 (QalPerf) Jordan H3383 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 until he hath driven out H3423 (HiphInf) his enemies H341 (QalActPtc) from before H6440 him, [22] and the land H776 be subdued H3533 (NiphPerf) before H6440 the Lord: H3068 then afterward H310 ye shall return, H7725 (QalImpf) and be guiltless H5355 before the Lord, H3068 and before Israel; H3478 and this land H776 shall be your possession H272 before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [23] But if ye will not do so, H6213 (QalImpf) behold, ye have sinned H2398 (QalPerf) against the Lord: H3068 and be sure H3045 (QalImpv) your sin H2403 will find you out. H4672 (QalImpf) [24] Build H1129 (QalImpv) you cities H5892 for your little ones, H2945 and folds H1448 for your sheep; H6792 and do H6213 (QalImpf) that which hath proceeded H3318 (QalActPtc) out of your mouth. H6310 [25] And the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf) Thy servants H5650 will do H6213 (QalImpf) as my lord H113 commandeth. H6680 (PielPtc) [26] Our little ones, H2945 our wives, H802 our flocks, H4735 and all our cattle, H929 shall be there in the cities H5892 of Gilead: H1568 [27] but thy servants H5650 will pass over, H5674 (QalImpf) every man armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) for war, H6635 before H6440 the Lord H3068 to battle, H4421 as my lord H113 saith. H1696 (QalActPtc) [28] So concerning them Moses H4872 commanded H6680 (PielImpf) Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun, H5126 and the chief H7218 fathers H1 of the tribes H4294 of the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 [29] and Moses H4872 said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, If the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 will pass with you over H5674 (QalImpf) Jordan, H3383 every man armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) to battle, H4421 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and the land H776 shall be subdued H3533 (NiphPerf) before H6440 you; then ye shall give H5414 (QalPerf) them the land H776 of Gilead H1568 for a possession: H272 [30] but if they will not pass over H5674 (QalImpf) with you armed, H2502 (QalPasPtc) they shall have possessions H270 (NiphPerf) among H8432 you in the land H776 of Canaan. H3667 [31] And the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 answered, H6030 (QalImpf) saying, H559 (QalInf) As the Lord H3068 hath said H1696 (PielPerf) unto thy servants, H5650 so will we do. H6213 (QalImpf) [32] We will H5168 pass over H5674 (QalImpf) armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) before H6440 the Lord H3068 into the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 that the possession H272 of our inheritance H5159 on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 may be our’s. [33] And Moses H4872 gave H5414 (QalImpf) unto them, even to the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 and to the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and unto half H2677 the tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 of Joseph, H3130 the kingdom H4467 of Sihon H5511 king H4428 of the Amorites, H567 and the kingdom H4467 of Og H5747 king H4428 of Bashan, H1316 the land, H776 with the cities H5892 thereof in the coasts, H1367 even the cities H5892 of the country H776 round about. H5439 [34] And the children H1121 of Gad H1410 built H1129 (QalImpf) Dibon, H1769 and Ataroth, H5852 and Aroer, H6177 [35] and Atroth, Shophan, H5855 and Jaazer, H3270 and Jogbehah, H3011 [36] and Beth-nimrah, H1039 and Beth-haran, H1028 fenced H4013 cities: H5892 and folds H1448 for sheep. H6629 [37] And the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 built H1129 (QalPerf) Heshbon, H2809 and Elealeh, H500 and Kirjathaim, H7156 [38] and Nebo, H5015 and Baal-meon, H1186 (their names H8034 being changed,) H4142 (HophPtc) and Shibmah: H7643 and gave H7121 (QalImpf) other names H8034 unto the cities H5892§ which they builded. H1129 (QalPerf) [39] And the children H1121 of Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519 went H3212 (QalImpf) to Gilead, H1568 and took H3920 (QalImpf) it, and dispossessed H3423 (HiphImpf) the Amorite H567 which was in it. [40] And Moses H4872 gave H5414 (QalImpf) Gilead H1568 unto Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh; H4519 and he dwelt H3427 (QalImpf) therein. [41] And Jair H2971 the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519 went H1980 (QalPerf) and took H3920 (QalImpf) the small towns H2333 thereof, and called H7121 (QalImpf) them Havoth-jair. H2334 [42] And Nobah H5025 went H1980 (QalPerf) and took H3920 (QalImpf) Kenath, H7079 and the villages H1323 thereof, and called H7121 (QalImpf) it Nobah, H5025 after his own name. H8034
