Young's Literal Translation
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
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;
So
the Gadites
and Reubenites
came
to
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders
of the congregation,
and
said
,
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:
“
Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam
, Nebo, and Beon ,
`
Ataroth, and
Dibon, and
Jazer, and
Nimrah, and
Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and
Shebam
, and
Nebo, and Beon --
which
the LORD
conquered
before the congregation
of Israel, are
suitable
for livestock—
and your
servants have livestock
. ”
the land
which
Jehovah
hath
smitten
before the company
of Israel, is
a
land
for cattle,
and thy
servants have cattle
. '
“
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
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. '
But
Moses asked
the Gadites
and Reubenites
, “Shall
your brothers
go to war
while
you
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?
Why are
you
discouraging
the Israelites
from crossing
into
the land that
the
LORD
has
given them?
and
why discourage
ye
the heart
of
the
sons
of
Israel
from passing
over
unto
the land which
Jehovah
hath
given to
them?
This
is
what
your fathers did
when
I
sent
them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect
the land .
`Thus
did
your fathers in
my
sending
them from Kadesh-Barnea to see
the land ;
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
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 ;
So
the anger of the
LORD
was
kindled
that day, and He swore
an
oath
, saying,
and
the anger of Jehovah
burneth
in
that day, and He sweareth
, saying,
‘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 —
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;
not
one
except
Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite
and Joshua son of Nun —because
they did
follow
the
LORD
wholeheartedly.’
save
Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite,
and Joshua son of Nun ,
for
they have
been
fully
after
Jehovah;
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
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
.
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
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 ;
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
. ”
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
. '
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
come
nigh
unto
him,
and say
, `Folds
for
the
flock
we build for our cattle
here,
and cities for our infants;
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
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 ;
We will
not return
to
our homes
until
every
Israelite
has
taken
possession
of his inheritance .
we do
not turn
back
unto
our houses
till
the
sons
of Israel
have
inherited
each
his inheritance ,
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
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
. '
Moses replied
, “
If you
will
do this —
if you
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,
and if
every one of your
armed
men
crosses
the Jordan before the
LORD
, until
He
has
driven
His enemies out
before Him,
and every armed
one of you
hath
passed
over
the Jordan before Jehovah
, till
his dispossessing
His
enemies from
before Him,
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
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
.
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 ye
do not so
, lo,
ye
have
sinned
against Jehovah,
and know
ye
your sin ,
that
it
doth
find you ;
Build cities for your little
ones
and folds for your flocks
, but
do what
you
have
promised
. ”
build for
yourselves
cities for your infants,
and folds for your flock
, and
that
which
is
going
out
from
your
mouth
do ye
. '
The Gadites
and Reubenites
said
to
Moses, “Your
servants will
do just
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;
Our children
, our wives, our livestock
, and all our animals
will
remain
here
in the
cities of Gilead .
our infants
, our wives, our cattle
, and all our beasts,
are
there
in cities of Gilead ,
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
thy
servants pass
over
, every armed
one
of
the host,
before Jehovah
, to
battle,
as my
lord is
saying
. '
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
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 ;
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 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 ;
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 they do not pass
over
armed
with you, then they have
possessions
in your
midst
in
the land of Canaan. '
The Gadites
and Reubenites
replied,
“As
the LORD
has
spoken to
your
servants ,
so we will
do .
And
the sons
of
Gad
and the sons
of
Reuben
answer,
saying,
`That
which
Jehovah
hath
spoken unto
thy
servants --
so we do ;
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
pass
over armed
before
Jehovah
`to'
the land of Canaan, and
with
us
`is'
the
possession
of
our inheritance beyond
the Jordan. '
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
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
.
And the Gadites
built
up
Dibon
, Ataroth, Aroer,
And the sons
of
Gad
build
Dihon
, and
Ataroth, and
Aroer,
Atroth -
shophan, Jazer
, Jogbehah,
and
Atroth ,
Shophan, and
Jaazer
, and
Jogbehah,
Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran as
fortified
cities, and they
built
folds
for
their
flocks
.
and
Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran ,
cities of
defence
, and sheepfolds
.
The Reubenites
built
up
Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim
,
And
the sons
of
Reuben
have
build
Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and
Kirjathaim
,
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 in
name
), and Shibmah,
and they call
by
`these'
names
the names
of
the
cities which
they have
built
.
The
descendants
of Machir son of Manasseh went
to Gilead, captured
it, and drove
out
the Amorites
who were
there.
And
sons
of Machir son of Manasseh go
to Gilead, and
capture
it, and dispossess
the Amorite,
who `is'
in
it;
So
Moses gave
Gilead to the
clan
of
Machir son of Manasseh, and they
settled
there
.
and
Moses giveth
Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he
dwelleth
in
it
.
Jair ,
a
descendant
of Manasseh ,
went
and captured
their villages
and called
them Havvoth-
jair .
And
Jair son
of Manasseh hath
gone
and captureth
their towns,
and calleth
them `Towns
of
Jair ;'
And Nobah went
and captured
Kenath and its villages and called
it Nobah, after
his own name.
and Nobah hath
gone
and captureth
Kenath ,
and its villages ,
and calleth
it Nobah, by
his own name.
