Context of Numbers 32:22
20And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war, 21and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him, and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah. 23But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out. 24Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
