Dual Panel1Now the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> had a very <03966> great <06099> multitude <07227> of cattle <04735>_: and when they saw <07200> (8799) the land <0776> of Jazer <03270>_, and the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>_, that, behold, the place <04725> [was] a place <04725> for cattle <04735>_;
2The children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> came <0935> (8799) and spake <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>_, and to Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>_, and unto the princes <05387> of the congregation <05712>_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
3Ataroth <05852>_, and Dibon <01769>_, and Jazer <03270>_, and Nimrah <05247>_, and Heshbon <02809>_, and Elealeh <0500>_, and Shebam <07643>_, and Nebo <05015>_, and Beon <01194>_, {Nimrah: also called, Bethnimrah} {Shebam: also called, Shibmah} {Beon: also called, Baalmeon}
4[Even] the country <0776> which the LORD <03068> smote <05221> (8689) before <06440> the congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>_, [is] a land <0776> for cattle <04735>_, and thy servants <05650> have cattle <04735>_:
5Wherefore, said <0559> (8799) they, if we have found <04672> (8804) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>_, let this land <0776> be given <05414> (8714) unto thy servants <05650> for a possession <0272>_, [and] bring us not over <05674> (8686) Jordan <03383>_.
6And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and to the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>_, Shall your brethren <0251> go <0935> (8799) to war <04421>_, and shall ye sit <03427> (8799) here?
7And wherefore discourage ye <05106> (8686) (8675) <05106> (8799) the heart <03820> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> from going over <05674> (8800) into the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8804) them? {discourage: Heb. break}
8Thus did <06213> (8804) your fathers <01>_, when I sent <07971> (8800) them from Kadeshbarnea <06947> to see <07200> (8800) the land <0776>_.
9For when they went up <05927> (8799) unto the valley <05158> of Eshcol <0812>_, and saw <07200> (8799) the land <0776>_, they discouraged <05106> (8686) the heart <03820> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_, that they should not go <0935> (8800) into the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> had given <05414> (8804) them.
10And the LORD'S <03068> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> (8799) the same time <03117>_, and he sware <07650> (8735)_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
11Surely <0518> none of the men <0582> that came up <05927> (8802) out of Egypt <04714>_, from twenty <06242> years <08141> old <01121> and upward <04605>_, shall see <07200> (8799) the land <0127> which I sware <07650> (8738) unto Abraham <085>_, unto Isaac <03327>_, and unto Jacob <03290>_; because they have not wholly <04390> (8765) followed <0310> me: {wholly...: Heb. fulfilled after me}
12Save Caleb <03612> the son <01121> of Jephunneh <03312> the Kenezite <07074>_, and Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>_: for they have wholly <04390> (8765) followed <0310> the LORD <03068>_.
13And the LORD'S <03068> anger <0639> was kindled <02734> (8799) against Israel <03478>_, and he made them wander <05128> (8686) in the wilderness <04057> forty <0705> years <08141>_, until all the generation <01755>_, that had done <06213> (8802) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>_, was consumed <08552> (8800)_.
14And, behold, ye are risen up <06965> (8804) in your fathers <01>_' stead, an increase <08635> of sinful <02400> men <0582>_, to augment <05595> (8800) yet the fierce <02740> anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> toward Israel <03478>_.
15For if ye turn away <07725> (8799) from after <0310> him, he will yet again <03254> (8804) leave <03240> (8687) them in the wilderness <04057>_; and ye shall destroy <07843> (8765) all this people <05971>_.
16And they came near <05066> (8799) unto him, and said <0559> (8799)_, We will build <01129> (8799) sheepfolds <01448> <06629> here for our cattle <04735>_, and cities <05892> for our little ones <02945>_:
17But we ourselves <0587> will go ready <02363> (8803) armed <02502> (8735) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_, until we have brought <0935> (8689) them unto their place <04725>_: and our little ones <02945> shall dwell <03427> (8804) in the fenced <04013> cities <05892> because <06440> of the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>_.
18We will not return <07725> (8799) unto our houses <01004>_, until the children <01121> of Israel <03478> have inherited <05157> (8692) every man <0376> his inheritance <05159>_.
19For we will not inherit <05157> (8799) with them on yonder side <05676> Jordan <03383>_, or forward <01973>_; because our inheritance <05159> is fallen <0935> (8804) to us on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> eastward <04217>_.
20And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto them, If ye will do <06213> (8799) this thing <01697>_, if ye will go armed <02502> (8735) before <06440> the LORD <03068> to war <04421>_,
21And will go <05674> (0) all of you armed <02502> (8803) over <05674> (8804) Jordan <03383> before <06440> the LORD <03068>_, until he hath driven out <03423> (8687) his enemies <0341> (8802) from before <06440> him,
22And the land <0776> be subdued <03533> (8738) before <06440> the LORD <03068>_: then afterward <0310> ye shall return <07725> (8799)_, and be guiltless <05355> before the LORD <03068>_, and before Israel <03478>_; and this land <0776> shall be your possession <0272> before <06440> the LORD <03068>_.
23But if ye will not do so <06213> (8799)_, behold, ye have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068>_: and be sure <03045> (8798) your sin <02403> will find you out <04672> (8799)_.
24Build <01129> (8798) you cities <05892> for your little ones <02945>_, and folds <01448> for your sheep <06792>_; and do <06213> (8799) that which hath proceeded <03318> (8802) out of your mouth <06310>_.
25And the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> spake <0559> (8799) unto Moses <04872>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Thy servants <05650> will do <06213> (8799) as my lord <0113> commandeth <06680> (8764)_.
26Our little ones <02945>_, our wives <0802>_, our flocks <04735>_, and all our cattle <0929>_, shall be there in the cities <05892> of Gilead <01568>_:
27But thy servants <05650> will pass over <05674> (8799)_, every man armed <02502> (8803) for war <06635>_, before <06440> the LORD <03068> to battle <04421>_, as my lord <0113> saith <01696> (8802)_.
28So concerning them Moses <04872> commanded <06680> (8762) Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>_, and Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>_, and the chief <07218> fathers <01> of the tribes <04294> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>_:
29And Moses <04872> said <0559> (8799) unto them, If the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> will pass with you over <05674> (8799) Jordan <03383>_, every man armed <02502> (8803) to battle <04421>_, before <06440> the LORD <03068>_, and the land <0776> shall be subdued <03533> (8738) before <06440> you; then ye shall give <05414> (8804) them the land <0776> of Gilead <01568> for a possession <0272>_:
30But if they will not pass over <05674> (8799) with you armed <02502> (8803)_, they shall have possessions <0270> (8738) among <08432> you in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>_.
31And the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> answered <06030> (8799)_, saying <0559> (8800)_, As the LORD <03068> hath said <01696> (8765) unto thy servants <05650>_, so will we do <06213> (8799)_.
32We will <05168> pass over <05674> (8799) armed <02502> (8803) before <06440> the LORD <03068> into the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>_, that the possession <0272> of our inheritance <05159> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> [may be] ours.
33And Moses <04872> gave <05414> (8799) unto them, [even] to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>_, and to the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>_, and unto half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> the son <01121> of Joseph <03130>_, the kingdom <04467> of Sihon <05511> king <04428> of the Amorites <0567>_, and the kingdom <04467> of Og <05747> king <04428> of Bashan <01316>_, the land <0776>_, with the cities <05892> thereof in the coasts <01367>_, [even] the cities <05892> of the country <0776> round about <05439>_.
34And the children <01121> of Gad <01410> built <01129> (8799) Dibon <01769>_, and Ataroth <05852>_, and Aroer <06177>_,
35And Atroth, Shophan <05855>_, and Jaazer <03270>_, and Jogbehah <03011>_, {Jaazer: also called, Jazer}
36And Bethnimrah <01039>_, and Bethharan <01028>_, fenced <04013> cities <05892>_: and folds <01448> for sheep <06629>_. {Bethnimrah: also called, Nimrah}
37And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> built <01129> (8804) Heshbon <02809>_, and Elealeh <0500>_, and Kirjathaim <07156>_,
38And Nebo <05015>_, and Baalmeon <01186>_, (their names <08034> being changed <04142> (8716),) and Shibmah <07643>_: and gave <07121> (8799) other names <08034> <08034> unto the cities <05892> which they builded <01129> (8804)_. {gave...: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities}
39And the children <01121> of Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519> went <03212> (8799) to Gilead <01568>_, and took <03920> (8799) it, and dispossessed <03423> (8686) the Amorite <0567> which [was] in it.
40And Moses <04872> gave <05414> (8799) Gilead <01568> unto Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>_; and he dwelt <03427> (8799) therein.
41And Jair <02971> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519> went <01980> (8804) and took <03920> (8799) the small towns <02333> thereof, and called <07121> (8799) them Havothjair <02334>_.
42And Nobah <05025> went <01980> (8804) and took <03920> (8799) Kenath <07079>_, and the villages <01323> thereof, and called <07121> (8799) it Nobah <05025>_, after his own name <08034>_.
