Numbers 32
1 And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;
2 and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:
3 Ataroth, and Daebon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Baean,
'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon —
4 the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle.
the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'
5 And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'
6 And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do ye sit here?
7 And why do ye pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
8 Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
'Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
9 And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;
10 And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,
11 Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after Me;
12 save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
13 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.
14 Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.
'And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;
15 For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.
when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'
16 And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
17 and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
18 We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
19 And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'
20 And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to these words, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21 and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
22 and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
23 But if ye will not do so, ye will sin against the Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
24 And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26 Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
27 But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28 And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel.
And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
29 And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
and Moses saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30 But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
31 And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;
32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
33 And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
34 And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36 and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
37 And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38 and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have built.
39 And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it.
And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;
40 And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there.
and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
41 And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of Jair;'
42 And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.
and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
