< Numbers 32 >

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;
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 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,
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, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Ataroth and Dibon and Jazer and Nimrah and Heshbon and Elealeh and Sebam and Nebo and Beon.
4 The land which the Lord gave into the hands of the children of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.
The land which he defeated Yahweh before [the] congregation of Israel [is] a land of livestock it and [belongs] to servants your livestock.
5 And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over 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 And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest 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 would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which 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 So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Thus they did fathers your when sent I them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which 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 And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,
And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on the day that and he swore an oath saying.
11 Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;
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 But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.
Except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua [the] son of Nun for they have filled after Yahweh.
13 Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.
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 And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath 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 are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.
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 they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns 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 ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people 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 come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.
Not we will return to houses our until have inherited [the] people of Israel everyone inheritance his.
19 For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.
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 Then Moses said to them, If you will do this, arming yourselves to go before the Lord to the war,
And he said to them Moses if you will do! the thing this if you will equip yourselves before Yahweh for battle.
21 Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against 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 And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage 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, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward.
And if not you will do! thus there! you have sinned to Yahweh and know sin your that it will find you.
24 So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.
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 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.
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 little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns 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 will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my 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 and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children 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 children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:
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 go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with 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 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we 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 go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of 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 them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round 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 children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer;
And they built [the] descendants of Gad Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer.
35 And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;
And Atroth Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah.
36 And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.
And Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran cities of fortification and folds of sheep.
37 And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;
And [the] descendants of Reuben they built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim.
38 And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.
And Nebo and Baal Meon changed name and Sibmah and they called by names [the] names of the cities which they had built.
39 And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living 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 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.
And he gave Moses Gilead to Makir [the] son of Manasseh and he dwelt in it.
41 And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming 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 took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.
And Nobah he went and he captured Kenath and daughters its and he called it Nobah by own name his.
