Numbers 32

1 Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.

And livestock - much it belonged to [the] descendants of Reuben and to [the] descendants of Gad numerous very and they saw [the] land of Jazer and [the] land of Gilead and there! the place [was] a place of livestock.

2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,

And they came [the] descendants of Gad and [the] descendants of Reuben and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to [the] leaders of the congregation saying.

3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

Ataroth and Dibon and Jazer and Nimrah and Heshbon and Elealeh and Sebam and Nebo and Beon.

4 which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”

The land which he defeated Yahweh before [the] congregation of Israel [is] a land of livestock it and [belongs] to servants your livestock.

5 “If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”

And they said if we have found favor in view your let it be given the land this to servants your to a possession may not you make pass over us the Jordan.

6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?

And he said Moses to [the] descendants of Gad and to [the] descendants of Reuben ¿ brothers your will they go to battle and you will you remain? here.

7 Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?

And why? (do you discourage! *Q(K)*) [the] heart of [the] people of Israel from passing over into the land which he has given to them Yahweh.

8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.

Thus they did fathers your when sent I them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

9 For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.

And they went up to [the] wadi of Eshcol and they saw the land and they discouraged [the] heart of [the] people of Israel to not to go into the land which he had given to them Yahweh.

10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,

And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on the day that and he swore an oath saying.

11 ‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—

If they will see the men who came up from Egypt from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards the land which I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob for not they have filled after me.

12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’

Except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua [the] son of Nun for they have filled after Yahweh.

13 The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.

And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he made wander them in the wilderness forty year[s] until was finished all the generation which had done the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

14 Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.

And here! you have risen up in place of fathers your a brood of people sinful to add again to [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh against Israel.

15 For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”

For you will turn back! from after him and he will repeat again to leave it in the wilderness and you will destroy all the people this.

16 Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.

And they drew near to him and they said folds of sheep we will build for livestock our here and cities for little one[s] our.

17 But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.

And we we will equip ourselves hurried before [the] people of Israel until that we have brought them to place their and it will remain little one[s] our in [the] cities of fortification because of [the] inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.

Not we will return to houses our until have inherited [the] people of Israel everyone inheritance his.

19 Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”

For not we will inherit with them from [the] other side of the Jordan and beyond for it has come inheritance our to us from [the] other side of the Jordan east-ward.

20 Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,

And he said to them Moses if you will do! the thing this if you will equip yourselves before Yahweh for battle.

21 and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,

And he will pass over of you every equipped [man] the Jordan before Yahweh until has dispossessed he enemies his from before him.

22 then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.

And it will be subdued the land before Yahweh and after you will return and you will be free from Yahweh and from Israel and it will belong the land this to you to a possession before Yahweh.

23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

And if not you will do! thus there! you have sinned to Yahweh and know sin your that it will find you.

24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

Build for yourselves cities for little one[s] your and folds for sheep your and the [thing which] has gone out from mouth your you will do.

25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.

And he said [the] descendants of Gad and [the] descendants of Reuben to Moses saying servants your they will do just as lord my [is] commanding.

26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

Little one[s] our wives our livestock our and all cattle our they will be there in [the] cities of Gilead.

27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

And servants your they will pass over every equipped [man] of war before Yahweh for battle just as lord my [is] saying.

28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.

And he commanded of them Moses Eleazar the priest and Joshua [the] son of Nun and [the] leaders of [the] fathers of the tribes of [the] people of Israel.

29 And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

And he said Moses to them if they will pass over [the] descendants of Gad and [the] descendants of Reuben - with you the Jordan every equipped [man] for battle before Yahweh and it will be subdued the land before you and you will give to them [the] land of Gilead to a possession.

30 But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”

And if not they will pass over equipped with you and they will have possessions in midst of you in [the] land of Canaan.

31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “As the LORD has spoken to your servants, so we will do.

And they answered [the] descendants of Gad and [the] descendants of Reuben saying [that] which he has spoken Yahweh to servants your thus we will do.

32 We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD, that we may have our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”

We we will pass over equipped before Yahweh [the] land of Canaan and [will be] with us [the] possession of inheritance our from [the] other side of the Jordan.

33 So Moses gave to the Gadites, to the Reubenites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them.

And he gave to them - Moses to [the] descendants of Gad and to [the] descendants of Reuben and to [the] half of - [the] tribe of - Manasseh [the] son of Joseph [the] kingdom of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] and [the] kingdom of Og [the] king of Bashan the land to cities its with territories [the] cities of the land all around.

34 And the Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,

And they built [the] descendants of Gad Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer.

35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

And Atroth Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah.

36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and they built folds for their flocks.

And Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran cities of fortification and folds of sheep.

37 The Reubenites built up Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

And [the] descendants of Reuben they built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim.

38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. And they renamed the cities they rebuilt.

And Nebo and Baal Meon changed name and Sibmah and they called by names [the] names of the cities which they had built.

39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there.

And they went [the] descendants of Makir [the] son of Manasseh Gilead towards and they captured it and he dispossessed the Amorite[s] who [was] in it.

40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled there.

And he gave Moses Gilead to Makir [the] son of Manasseh and he dwelt in it.

41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages and called them Havvoth-jair.

And Jair [the] son of Manasseh he went and he captured villages their and he called them Havvoth Jair.

42 And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.

And Nobah he went and he captured Kenath and daughters its and he called it Nobah by own name his.
