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 So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.

29 And Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.

30 However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."

31 And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, "What the LORD has said to your servants, we will do.

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
