ASV_Strong : Numbers 32
1. Now the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] had a very[H3966] great[H6099] multitude[H7227] of cattle[H4735]: and when they saw[H7200] the land[H776] of Jazer[H3270], and the land[H776] of Gilead[H1568], that[H4725], behold, the place was a place[H4725] for cattle[H4735];
2. the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] came[H935] and spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], and to Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and unto the princes[H5387] of the congregation[H5712], saying[H559],
3. Ataroth[H5852], and Dibon[H1769], and Jazer[H3270], and Nimrah[H5247], and Heshbon[H2809], and Elealeh[H500], and Sebam[H7643], and Nebo[H5015], and Beon[H1194],
4. the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] smote[H5221] before[H6440] the congregation[H5712] of Israel[H3478], is a land[H776] for cattle[H4735]; and thy servants[H5650] have cattle[H4735].
5. And they said[H559], If we have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in thy sight[H5869], let this land[H776] be given[H5414] unto thy servants[H5650] for a possession[H272]; bring us not over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383].
6. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410], and to the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205], Shall your brethren[H251] go[H935] to the war[H4421], and shall ye sit here[H3427]?
7. And wherefore discourage ye[H5106] the heart[H3820] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] from going over[H5674] into the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] hath given them[H5414]?
8. Thus did[H6213] your fathers[H1], when I sent[H7971] them from Kadesh-barnea[H6947] to see[H7200] the land[H776].
9. For when they went up[H5927] unto the valley[H5158] of Eshcol[H812], and saw[H7200] the land[H776], they discouraged[H5106] the heart[H3820] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], that they should not go[H935] into the land[H776] which Jehovah[H3068] had given them[H5414].
10. And Jehovah[H3068]'s anger[H639] was kindled[H2734] in that day[H3117], and he sware[H7650], saying[H559],
11. Surely[H518] none of the men[H582] that came up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714], from twenty[H6242] years[H8141] old[H1121] and upward[H4605], shall see[H7200] the land[H127] which I sware[H7650] unto Abraham[H85], unto Isaac[H3327], and unto Jacob[H3290]; because they have not wholly[H4390] followed me[H310]:
12. save Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] the Kenizzite[H7074], and Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126]; because they have wholly[H4390] followed[H310] Jehovah[H3068].
13. And Jehovah[H3068]'s anger[H639] was kindled[H2734] against Israel[H3478], and he made them wander[H5128] to and fro in the wilderness[H4057] forty[H705] years[H8141], until all the generation[H1755], that had done[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of Jehovah[H3068], was consumed[H8552].
14. And[H6965], behold, ye are risen up in your fathers[H1]' stead[H8635], an increase of sinful[H2400] men[H582], to augment[H5595] yet the fierce[H2740] anger[H639] of Jehovah[H3068] toward Israel[H3478].
15. For if ye turn away[H7725] from after[H310] him[H3254], he will yet again leave[H3240] them in the wilderness[H4057]; and ye will destroy[H7843] all this people[H5971].
16. And they came near[H5066] unto him[H559], and said, We will build[H1129] sheepfolds[H1448] here for our cattle[H4735], and cities[H5892] for our little ones[H2945]:
17. but we ourselves[H587] will be ready[H2363] armed[H2502] to go before[H6440] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], until we have brought[H935] them unto their place[H4725]: and our little ones[H2945] shall dwell[H3427] in the fortified[H4013] cities[H5892] because[H6440] of the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776].
18. We will not return[H7725] unto our houses[H1004], until the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] have inherited[H5157] every man[H376] his inheritance[H5159].
19. For we will not inherit[H5157] with them on the other side[H5676] of the Jordan[H3383], and forward[H1973]; because our inheritance[H5159] is fallen[H935] to us on this side[H5676] of the Jordan[H3383] eastward[H4217].
20. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto them[H6213], If ye will do this thing[H1697], if ye will arm[H2502] yourselves to go before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] to the war[H4421],
21. and every armed[H2502] man of you will pass[H5674] over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068], until he hath driven out[H3423] his enemies[H341] from before him[H6440],
22. and the land[H776] is subdued[H3533] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]; then afterward[H310] ye shall return[H7725], and be guiltless[H5355] towards Jehovah[H3068], and towards Israel[H3478]; and this land[H776] shall be unto you for a possession[H272] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068].
23. But if ye will not do so[H6213], behold[H2398], ye have sinned against Jehovah[H3068]; and be sure[H3045] your sin[H2403] will find you out[H4672].
24. Build[H1129] you cities[H5892] for your little ones[H2945], and folds[H1448] for your sheep[H6792]; and do[H6213] that which hath proceeded[H3318] out of your mouth[H6310].
25. And the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559], Thy servants[H5650] will do[H6213] as my lord[H113] commandeth[H6680].
26. Our little ones[H2945], our wives[H802], our flocks[H4735], and all our cattle[H929], shall be there in the cities[H5892] of Gilead[H1568];
27. but thy servants[H5650] will pass over[H5674], every man that is armed[H2502] for war[H6635], before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] to battle[H4421], as my lord[H3068] saith[H1696].
28. So Moses[H4872] gave charge[H6680] concerning them to Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548], and to Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], and to the heads[H7218] of the fathers[H1]' houses of the tribes[H4294] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
29. And Moses[H4872] said[H559] unto them[H1121], If the children of Gad[H1410] and the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] will pass with you over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383], every man that is armed[H2502] to battle[H4421], before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068], and the land[H776] shall be subdued[H3533] before[H6440] you[H5414]; then ye shall give them the land[H776] of Gilead[H1568] for a possession[H272]:
30. but if they will not pass over[H5674] with you armed[H2502], they shall have possessions[H270] among[H8432] you in the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667].
31. And the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] answered[H6030], saying[H559], As Jehovah[H3068] hath said[H1696] unto thy servants[H5650], so will we do[H6213].
32. We will[H5168] pass over[H5674] armed[H2502] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] into the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], and the possession[H272] of our inheritance[H5159] shall remain with us beyond[H5676] the Jordan[H3383].
33. And Moses[H4872] gave[H5414] unto them[H1121], even to the children of Gad[H1410], and to the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205], and unto the half[H2677] - tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] the son[H1121] of Joseph[H3130], the kingdom[H4467] of Sihon[H5511] king[H4428] of the Amorites[H567], and the kingdom[H4467] of Og[H5747] king[H4428] of Bashan[H1316], the land[H776], according to the cities[H5892] thereof with their borders[H1367], even the cities[H5892] of the land[H776] round about[H5439].
34. And the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] built[H1129] Dibon[H1769], and Ataroth[H5852], and Aroer[H6177],
35. and Atrothshophan[H5855], and Jazer[H3270], and Jogbehah[H3011],
36. and Beth-nimrah[H1039], and Beth-haran[H1028]: fortified[H4013] cities[H5892], and folds[H1448] for sheep[H6629].
37. And the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] built[H1129] Heshbon[H2809], and Elealeh[H500], and Kiriathaim[H7156],
38. and Nebo[H5015], and Baal-meon[H1186], (their names[H8034] being changed[H4142],) and Sibmah[H7643]: and they gave[H7121] other names[H8034] unto the cities[H5892] which they builded[H1129].
39. And the children[H1121] of Machir[H4353] the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] went[H3212] to Gilead[H1568], and took[H3920] it[H3423], and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein[H567].
40. And Moses[H4872] gave[H5414] Gilead[H1568] unto Machir[H4353] the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519]; and he dwelt therein[H3427].
41. And Jair[H2971] the son[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] went[H1980] and took[H3920] the towns[H2333] thereof[H7121], and called them Havvoth-jair[H2334].
42. And Nobah[H5025] went[H1980] and took[H3920] Kenath[H7079], and the villages[H1323] thereof[H7121], and called it Nobah[H5025], after his own name[H8034].
