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 concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the princes of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

29 And Moses said unto them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass the Jordan with you, each one armed to battle, before the LORD, after the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.

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

31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has said unto thy slaves, so will we do.

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan shall be ours.
