Numbers 32:16-27
16Then they approachedH5066 him and saidH559, “We will buildH1129 sheepfoldsH6629H1448 for our livestockH4735 hereH6311 and citiesH5892 for our littleH2945 onesH2945; 171but we ourselvesH587 will be armedH2502, hurryingH2363 aheadH6440 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, untilH5704H834H518 we have broughtH935 them to their placeH4725, while our littleH2945 onesH2945 liveH3427 in the fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 becauseH4480H6440 of the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 182We will not returnH7725 to our homesH1004 untilH5704 everyH376 oneH376 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 has gainedH5157 possessionH5157 of his inheritanceH5159. 19But we will not haveH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157 with them on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the JordanH3383 and beyondH1973, becauseH3588 our inheritanceH5159 has comeH935 to us 3on this sideH5676 of the JordanH3383 toward the eastH4217.”
204So MosesH4872 saidH559 to them, “IfH518 you will doH6213 5thisH2088, ifH518 you will armH2502 yourselves beforeH6440 the LordH3068 for the warH4421, 21and allH3605 of you armedH2502 menH2502 crossH5674 overH5674 the JordanH3383 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 untilH5704 He has drivenH3423 His enemiesH340 outH3423 from Him, 226and the landH776 is subduedH3533 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, then afterwardH310 you may returnH7725 and be 7freeH5355 ofH5355 obligationH5355 towardH4480 the LordH3068 and towardH4480 IsraelH3478, and thisH2088 landH776 shall be yours as propertyH272 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 23But ifH518 you do not doH6213 soH3651, beholdH2009, you have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068, and be sureH3045 that 8your sinH2403 will findH4672 you outH4672. 24BuildH1129 yourselves citiesH5892 for your littleH2945 onesH2945, and sheepfoldsH1448 for your sheepH6792, and 9doH6213 10what you have promisedH3318H4480H6310.”
25Then the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 spokeH559 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, “Your servantsH5650 will doH6213 justH3512 asH3512 my lordH113 commandsH6680. 2611Our littleH2945 onesH2945, our wivesH802, our livestockH4735, and allH3605 our cattleH929 shall 12remainH1961 thereH8033 in the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568, 27while your servantsH5650, that is, everyoneH3605 who is armedH2502 for warH6635, 13crossH5674 overH5674 in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 to battleH4421, justH3512 asH3512 my lordH113 saysH1696.”
