Números 32:18 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:18

We will not return unto our houses
In the cities built or repaired by them, or to their families, and their substance, their flocks and their herds; all which they should leave behind them, and never think of returning to them:

until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance;
until all the tribes were settled in their respective places, and every family and everyone in them had their portion assigned them; and accordingly they did not return until the land was wholly subdued, nor even until every lot came up, and the land was divided by it, and the inheritance of the several tribes fixed, and even the cities of the Levites assigned to them out of the several tribes; see ( Joshua 22:1-34 ) .

Números 32:18 In-Context

16 Entonces ellos se acercaron otra vez a Moisés, y le dijeron:—Vamos a construir corrales para el ganado, y a edificar ciudades para nuestros pequeños.

17 Sin embargo, tomaremos las armas y marcharemos al frente de los israelitas hasta llevarlos a su lugar. Mientras tanto, nuestros pequeños vivirán en ciudades fortificadas que los protejan de los habitantes del país.

18 No volveremos a nuestras casas hasta que cada uno de los israelitas haya recibido su heredad.

19 Nosotros no queremos compartir con ellos ninguna heredad al otro lado del Jordán, porque nuestra heredad está aquí, en el lado oriental del río.

20 Moisés les contestó:—Si están dispuestos a hacerlo así, tomen las armas y marchen al combate.
