Numbers 32:29 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:29

And Moses said unto them
To Eleazar, Joshua, and the princes of the congregation:

if the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you
over Jordan, every man armed to battle before the Lord;
as they have promised they will:

and the land shall be subdued before you;
which must be done before their return:

then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
which, no doubt, included that of Jazer too, since Jaazer, which is the same, is after mentioned as one of the cities built by the children of Gad, ( Numbers 32:35 ) .

Numbers 32:29 In-Context

27 But all of us are ready to go into battle under the Lord's command. We will cross the Jordan and fight, just as you have said."

28 So Moses gave these commands to Eleazar, Joshua, and the other leaders of Israel:

29 "If the men of Gad and Reuben cross the Jordan ready for battle at the Lord's command and if with their help you are able to conquer the land, then give them the land of Gilead as their property.

30 But if they do not cross the Jordan and go into battle with you, they are to receive their share of the property in the land of Canaan, as you do."

31 The men of Gad and Reuben answered, "Sir, we will do as the Lord has commanded.
