Numbers 32:17-32

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.
