17 but, we, would arm ourselves promptly, before the sons of Israel, until that we have brought them into their place,––so should our little ones remain in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We would not return unto our houses,––until the sons of Israel have possessed themselves, each man, of his inheritance.
19 For we would not inherit with them, over the Jordan, and onwards,––because our inheritance hath come unto us on this side the Jordan, towards sunrise.
20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will indeed do this thing,––if ye will arm yourselves, before Yahweh, for the war;
21 and every armed man of you pass over the Jordan before Yahweh,––until he hath dispossessed his enemies, from before him;
22 and the land be subdued before Yahweh, then, afterwards, shall ye return, and shall be acquitted by Yahweh and by Israel,––and this land shall be yours for a possession before Yahweh.
23 But, if ye shall not do this, lo! ye will have sinned against Yahweh,––and take note of your sin, that it will find you out.
24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks,––and then, that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do.
25 Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, unto Moses, saying,––thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, shall remain there, in the cities of Gilead;
27 and, thy servants, will pass over, every one armed for war, before Yahweh, to battle,––as, my lord, is speaking.
28 So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun,––and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; 29 and Moses said unto them––If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war, before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession. 30 But, if they will not pass over armed, with you, then shall they accept a possession in your midst, in the land of Canaan. 31 Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying,––That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do. 32 We, will pass over, armed, before Yahweh, into the land of Canaan,––then shall be, ours, the possession of our inheritance across the Jordan. 33 So then Moses gave unto them––even unto the sons of Gad, and unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph––the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land, by her cities, with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about. 34 And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth,––and Aroer; 35 and Atroth–shophan and Jazer, and Jogbehah; 36 and Beth–nimrah, and Beth–haran,––fortified cities, and folds for flocks. 37 And, the sons of Reuben, built Heshbon, and Elealeh,––and Kiriathaim, 38 and Nebo and Baal–meon––their names being changed, and Sibmah,––and they gave names to the cities which they built. 39 Then went the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, to Gilead, and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 40 So Moses gave Gilead unto Machir, son of Manasseh,––and he dwelt therein. 41 And, Jair, son of Manasseh, went, and captured their encampments,––and called them Havvoth–jair[=" The encampments of Jair"]. 42 And, Nobah, went, and captured Kenath, with the villages thereof,––and called it Nobah, after his own name.
28 So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun,––and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; 29 and Moses said unto them––If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war, before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession. 30 But, if they will not pass over armed, with you, then shall they accept a possession in your midst, in the land of Canaan. 31 Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying,––That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do. 32 We, will pass over, armed, before Yahweh, into the land of Canaan,––then shall be, ours, the possession of our inheritance across the Jordan. 33 So then Moses gave unto them––even unto the sons of Gad, and unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph––the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land, by her cities, with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about. 34 And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth,––and Aroer; 35 and Atroth–shophan and Jazer, and Jogbehah; 36 and Beth–nimrah, and Beth–haran,––fortified cities, and folds for flocks. 37 And, the sons of Reuben, built Heshbon, and Elealeh,––and Kiriathaim, 38 and Nebo and Baal–meon––their names being changed, and Sibmah,––and they gave names to the cities which they built. 39 Then went the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, to Gilead, and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 40 So Moses gave Gilead unto Machir, son of Manasseh,––and he dwelt therein. 41 And, Jair, son of Manasseh, went, and captured their encampments,––and called them Havvoth–jair[=" The encampments of Jair"]. 42 And, Nobah, went, and captured Kenath, with the villages thereof,––and called it Nobah, after his own name.
