Numbers 32 (WEBP)

[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.

Numbers 32 (KJVS)

[1] Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw () the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
[2] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came () and spake () unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying, ()
[3] Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
[4] [Even] the country which the Lord smote () before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
[5] Wherefore, said () they, if we have found () grace in thy sight, let this land be given () unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over () Jordan.
[6] And Moses said () unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go () to war, and shall ye sit () here?
[7] And wherefore discourage ye () () () the heart of the children of Israel from going over () into the land which the Lord hath given () them?
[8] Thus did () your fathers, when I sent () them from Kadeshbarnea to see () the land.
[9] For when they went up () unto 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 the Lord had given () them.
[10] And the Lord’s anger was kindled () the same time, and he sware, () saying, ()
[11] Surely none of the men that came up () out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see () the land which I sware () unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly () followed me:
[12] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly () followed the Lord.
[13] And the Lord’s anger was kindled () against Israel, and he made them wander () in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done () evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed. ()
[14] And, behold, ye are risen up () in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment () yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
[15] For if ye turn away () from after him, he will yet again () leave () them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy () all this people.
[16] And they came near () unto him, and said, () We will build () sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
[17] But we ourselves will go ready () armed () before the children of Israel, until we have brought () them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell () in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants () of the land.
[18] We will not return () unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited () every man his inheritance.
[19] 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.
[20] And Moses said () unto them, If ye will do () this thing, if ye will go armed () before the Lord to war,
[21] And will go all of you armed () over () Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out () his enemies () from before him,
[22] 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.
[23] But if ye will not do so, () behold, ye have sinned () against the Lord: and be sure () your sin will find you out. ()
[24] Build () you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do () that which hath proceeded () out of your mouth.
[25] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake () unto Moses, saying, () Thy servants will do () as my lord commandeth. ()
[26] Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
[27] But thy servants will pass over, () every man armed () for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith. ()
[28] 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:
[29] 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:
[30] But if they will not pass over () with you armed, () they shall have possessions () among you in the land of Canaan.
[31] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, () saying, () As the Lord hath said () unto thy servants, so will we do. ()
[32] 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] ours.
[33] 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.
[34] And the children of Gad built () Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
[35] And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
[36] And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
[37] And the children of Reuben built () Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
[38] And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed, ()) and Shibmah: and gave () other names unto the cities which they builded. ()
[39] And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went () to Gilead, and took () it, and dispossessed () the Amorite which [was] in it.
[40] And Moses gave () Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt () therein.
[41] And Jair the son of Manasseh went () and took () the small towns thereof, and called () them Havothjair.
[42] And Nobah went () and took () Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called () it Nobah, after his own name.

[8] ουχ ουτως εποιησαν οι πατερες υμων οτε απεστειλα αυτους εκ καδης βαρνη κατανοησαι την γην
[9] και ανεβησαν φαραγγα βοτρυος και κατενοησαν την γην και απεστησαν την καρδιαν των υιων ισραηλ οπως μη εισελθωσιν εις την γην ην εδωκεν κυριος αυτοις
[10] και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ωμοσεν λεγων

[12] πλην χαλεβ υιος ιεφοννη ο διακεχωρισμενος και ιησους ο του ναυη οτι συνεπηκολουθησεν οπισω κυριου
[13] και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος επι τον ισραηλ και κατερρομβευσεν αυτους εν τη ερημω τεσσαρακοντα ετη εως εξανηλωθη πασα η γενεα οι ποιουντες τα πονηρα εναντι κυριου
[14] ιδου ανεστητε αντι των πατερων υμων συστρεμμα ανθρωπων αμαρτωλων προσθειναι ετι επι τον θυμον της οργης κυριου επι ισραηλ
[15] οτι αποστραφησεσθε απ αυτου προσθειναι ετι καταλιπειν αυτον εν τη ερημω και ανομησετε εις ολην την συναγωγην ταυτην
[16] και προσηλθον αυτω και ελεγον επαυλεις προβατων οικοδομησωμεν ωδε τοις κτηνεσιν ημων και πολεις ταις αποσκευαις ημων
[17] και ημεις ενοπλισαμενοι προφυλακη προτεροι των υιων ισραηλ εως αν αγαγωμεν αυτους εις τον εαυτων τοπον και κατοικησει η αποσκευη ημων εν πολεσιν τετειχισμεναις δια τους κατοικουντας την γην
[18] ου μη αποστραφωμεν εις τας οικιας ημων εως αν καταμερισθωσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ εκαστος εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου
[19] και ουκετι κληρονομησωμεν εν αυτοις απο του περαν του ιορδανου και επεκεινα οτι απεχομεν τους κληρους ημων εν τω περαν του ιορδανου εν ανατολαις
[20] και ειπεν προς αυτους μωυσης εαν ποιησητε κατα το ρημα τουτο εαν εξοπλισησθε εναντι κυριου εις πολεμον
[21] και παρελευσεται υμων πας οπλιτης τον ιορδανην εναντι κυριου εως αν εκτριβη ο εχθρος αυτου απο προσωπου αυτου
[22] και κατακυριευθη η γη εναντι κυριου και μετα ταυτα αποστραφησεσθε και εσεσθε αθωοι εναντι κυριου και απο ισραηλ και εσται η γη αυτη υμιν εν κατασχεσει εναντι κυριου
[23] εαν δε μη ποιησητε ουτως αμαρτησεσθε εναντι κυριου και γνωσεσθε την αμαρτιαν υμων οταν υμας καταλαβη τα κακα
[24] και οικοδομησετε υμιν αυτοις πολεις τη αποσκευη υμων και επαυλεις τοις κτηνεσιν υμων και το εκπορευομενον εκ του στοματος υμων ποιησετε
[25] και ειπαν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ προς μωυσην λεγοντες οι παιδες σου ποιησουσιν καθα ο κυριος ημων εντελλεται

[27] οι δε παιδες σου παρελευσονται παντες ενωπλισμενοι και εκτεταγμενοι εναντι κυριου εις τον πολεμον ον τροπον ο κυριος λεγει
[28] και συνεστησεν αυτοις μωυσης ελεαζαρ τον ιερεα και ιησουν υιον ναυη και τους αρχοντας πατριων των φυλων ισραηλ
[29] και ειπεν προς αυτους μωυσης εαν διαβωσιν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ μεθ υμων τον ιορδανην πας ενωπλισμενος εις πολεμον εναντι κυριου και κατακυριευσητε της γης απεναντι υμων και δωσετε αυτοις την γην γαλααδ εν κατασχεσει

[39] και επορευθη υιος μαχιρ υιου μανασση εις γαλααδ και ελαβεν αυτην και απωλεσεν τον αμορραιον τον κατοικουντα εν αυτη
[40] και εδωκεν μωυσης την γαλααδ τω μαχιρ υιω μανασση και κατωκησεν εκει
[41] και ιαιρ ο του μανασση επορευθη και ελαβεν τας επαυλεις αυτων και επωνομασεν αυτας επαυλεις ιαιρ
[42] και ναβαυ επορευθη και ελαβεν την κανααθ και τας κωμας αυτης και επωνομασεν αυτας ναβωθ εκ του ονοματος αυτου
