29 And Moshe said unto them, If the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven will cross with you over Yarden, every man armed for battle, before Hashem, and HaAretz shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them Eretz Gil‘ad for an achuzzah;

Bamidbar 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 ) .

Bamidbar 32:29 In-Context

27 But thy avadim will cross over, every man armed for war, before Hashem to battle, as adoni saith.

28 So concerning them Moshe commanded Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua Ben Nun, and the Rashei Avot HaMattot of the Bnei Yisroel;

29 And Moshe said unto them, If the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven will cross with you over Yarden, every man armed for battle, before Hashem, and HaAretz shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them Eretz Gil‘ad for an achuzzah;

30 But if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in Eretz Kena’an.

31 And the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven answered, saying, As Hashem hath said unto thy avadim, so will we do.
