Numbers 32

1 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.

And the sons of Ruben and Gad had many flocks of cattle, and their substance in beasts was infinite. And when they saw the lands of Jazer and Galaad fit for feeding cattle,

2 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.

They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:

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

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,

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

The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:

5 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.

And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.

6 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.

And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?

7 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.

Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?

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

Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?

9 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.

And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.

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

And he swore in his anger, saying:

11 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.

If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,

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

Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.

13 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.

And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.

14 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.

And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.

15 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.

For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.

16 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.

But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children:

17 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.

And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.

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

We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:

19 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.

Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,

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

And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:

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

And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:

22 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.

And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.

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

But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.

24 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.

Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.

25 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.

And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.

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

We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:

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

And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.

28 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.

Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:

29 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.

If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.

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

But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.

31 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.

And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:

32 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.

We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.

33 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.

Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.

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

And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 And Atroth Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah.

And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,

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

And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.

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

But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,

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

And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.

39 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.

Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.

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

And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.

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

And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, the villages of Jair.

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

Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.
