Numbers 32:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:28

So concerning them Moses commanded
That they should have a grant of the land they requested: this looks as if Moses determined the case himself, though perhaps it was by the vote, and with the consent of the whole court; only Moses strictly enjoined them to observe it, namely,

Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel;
and the rather he did this, because he knew that he should die, and not see either the thing itself or the conditions of it performed.

Numbers 32:28 In-Context

26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”

28 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.

29 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.

30 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.”
