Numbers 32:30 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:30

But if they will not pass over with you armed
Shall change their minds, and break their promise, and refuse to go over the river Jordan with the other tribes, and armed ready to engage in battle with the enemy:

they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan;
take their lot there, but have no inheritance or possessions on this side Jordan.

Numbers 32:30 In-Context

28 Moses made demands for them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua, Nun's son, and to the leaders of the households of the Israelite tribes.

29 Moses said to them, "If the Gadites and the Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, each equipped for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

30 If, however, they don't cross with you, equipped for war, they will take possession of property with you in the land of Canaan."

31 The Gadites and the Reubenites answered, "We'll do just as the LORD has spoken to your servants.

32 We'll cross into the land of Canaan before the LORD, equipped for war. But the property we inherit will be across the Jordan."
