Numbers 32
1And the children of ReubenH7205 and the children of GadH1410 had muchH7227 cattle, a veryH3966 great multitude; and they sawH7200 the landH776 of Jaazer, and the landH776 of GileadH1568, and behold, the placeH4725 wasH1961 a placeH4725 for cattle. 2And the children of GadH1410 and the children of ReubenH7205 cameH935 and spoke to MosesH4872, and to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and to the princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, sayingH559, 3AtarothH5852, and DibonH1769, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and HeshbonH2809, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and NeboH5015, and Beon, 4the country that Jehovah smote before the assemblyH5712 of IsraelH3478, is a landH776 for cattle, and thy servantsH5650 have cattle; 5and they saidH559, If we have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, let this landH776 be givenH5414 to thy servantsH5650 for a possessionH272: bring us not over the JordanH3383. 6And MosesH4872 saidH559 to the children of GadH1410, and to the children of ReubenH7205, Shall your brethren goH935 to warH4421, and shall ye abide hereH6311? 7And whyH4100 do ye discourage the children of IsraelH3478 from going over into the landH776 that Jehovah has givenH5414 them? 8ThusH3541 did your fathersH1, when I sentH7971 them from Kadesh-barneaH6947 to seeH7200 the landH776: 9they wentH935 up to the valley of EshcolH812, and sawH7200 the landH776, and discouraged the children of IsraelH3478, that they should not goH935 into the landH776 that Jehovah had givenH5414 them. 10And Jehovah's angerH639 was kindled the same time, and he sworeH7650, sayingH559, 11If the menH376 that cameH5927 up out of EgyptH4714, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 old and upwardH4605, shall seeH7200 the landH127 that I sworeH7650 to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290! for they have not wholly followed me; 12save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KenizziteH7074, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126; for they have wholly followed Jehovah. 13And Jehovah's angerH639 was kindled against IsraelH3478, and he madeH6213 them wanderH5128 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until the whole generationH1755 was consumed that had done evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah. 14And behold, ye are risenH6965 up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinfulH2400 menH376, to augment yetH5750 the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah toward IsraelH3478. 15If ye turnH7725 awayH7725 from after him, he will yetH5750 againH5750 leave them in the wildernessH4057; and ye shall destroyH7843 all this peopleH5971. 16And they drewH5066 near to him, and saidH559, We will buildH1129 sheepfolds hereH6311 for our cattle, and citiesH5892 for our littleH2945 onesH2945; 17but we ourselves will goH935 with diligence armedH2502 before the children of IsraelH3478, until we have broughtH935 them to their placeH4725; and our littleH2945 onesH2945 shall dwellH3427 in the strong citiesH5892 because of the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 18We will not returnH7725 to our housesH1004, until the children of IsraelH3478 have inheritedH5157 each oneH376 his inheritanceH5159. 19For we will not inheritH5157 with them on yonder sideH5676 the JordanH3383, and further, because our inheritanceH5159 is fallen to us on this sideH5676 the JordanH3383 eastward. 20And MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, If ye do this thingH1697, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for warH4421, 21and all of you that are armedH2502 go over the JordanH3383 before Jehovah, until he have dispossessedH3423 his enemiesH341 from before him, 22and the landH776 is subduedH3533 before Jehovah, and afterwards ye returnH7725, ye shall beH1961 guiltless toward Jehovah and toward IsraelH3478, and this landH776 shall beH1961 your possessionH272 before Jehovah. 23But if ye do not do soH3651, behold, ye have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah, and be sure your sinH2398 will findH4672 you out. 24BuildH1129 yourselves citiesH5892 for your littleH2945 onesH2945, and foldsH1448 for your flocks, and do that which has goneH3318 out of your mouthH6310. 25And the children of GadH1410 and the children of ReubenH7205 spoke to MosesH4872, sayingH559, Thy servantsH5650 will do as my lordH113 commandsH6680. 26Our littleH2945 onesH2945, our wivesH802, our cattleH929, and all our beasts shall beH1961 there in the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568; 27but thy servantsH5650 will passH5674 over, every one armedH2502 for warH4421, before Jehovah to battleH4421, as my lord saysH1696. 28So concerning them MosesH4872 commandedH6680 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the children of IsraelH3478. 29And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If the children of GadH1410 and the children of ReubenH7205 passH5674 with you over the JordanH3383, every one armedH2502 for battleH4421, before Jehovah, and the landH776 be subduedH3533 before you, then ye shall giveH5414 them the landH776 of GileadH1568 for a possessionH272; 30but if they do not passH5674 over with you armedH2502, they shall have possessionsH270 among you in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 31And the children of GadH1410 and the children of ReubenH7205 answered, sayingH559, As Jehovah has saidH559 to thy servantsH5650, soH3651 will we do. 32We will passH5674 over armedH2502 before Jehovah into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and the possessionH272 of our inheritanceH5159 on this sideH5676 the JordanH3383 shall be ours. 33And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 to them, to the children of GadH1410, and to the children of ReubenH7205, and to halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130, the kingdomH4467 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, the landH776, according to its citiesH5892 and territories, the citiesH5892 of the landH776 roundH5439 about. 34And the children of GadH1410 builtH1129 DibonH1769, and AtarothH5852, and AroerH6177, 35and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah, 36and Beth-NimrahH1039, and Beth-haran, strong citiesH5892, and sheepfolds. 37— And the children of ReubenH7205 builtH1129 HeshbonH2809, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim, 38and NeboH5015, and Baal-meonH1186 (of which the namesH8034 were changedH5437), and SibmahH7643; and they gave other namesH8034 to the citiesH5892 that they builtH1129. 39— And the children of Machir the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 went to GileadH1568, and tookH3920 it, and they dispossessedH3423 the AmoritesH567 that were therein. 40And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 GileadH1568 to Machir the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519; and he dweltH3427 therein. 41And JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 wentH1980 and tookH3920 their hamlets, and calledH7121 them Havoth-Jair. 42And NobahH5025 wentH1980 and tookH3920 KenathH7079, and its dependent villages, and calledH7121 it NobahH5025, after his nameH8034.
