Numbers 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:22

And the land be subdued before the Lord
For the inhabitants fleeing before his people, and being conquered by them, might be said to be subdued before the Lord, this being done in his presence, by his power, and for his people:

then afterward ye shall return:
to this side of Jordan, the land of Jazer and Gilead, to their cities, and families there;

and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel:
having fulfilled all that they promised:

and this land shall be your possession before the Lord;
be established and settled in it as their inheritance, the Lord seeing and approving of it, and protecting them in the enjoyment of it.

Numbers 32:22 In-Context

20 Moses said to them, "Do this and fight before the LORD in war.

21 All of you who are equipped for war, cross the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven his enemies out before him

22 and the land is subdued in the LORD's presence. Then you may return innocently before the LORD and Israel, and this land will be your property before the LORD.

23 But if you don't do this, you've sinned against the LORD. Know that your sin will find you.

24 So build towns for your children and walled enclosures for your flocks, but do what you have promised."
