Numbers 32:4

4 The LORD has conquered this whole area for the community of Israel, and it is ideally suited for all our livestock.

Numbers 32:4 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:4

Even the county which the Lord smote before the congregation of
Israel
In which the above cities were, and perhaps some others not named: this was now in the hands of the people of Israel, being subdued by them, the conquest of which is ascribed unto the Lord, for the victory was of him; it was he that smote their enemies; and delivered their country into their hands; and now Moses, Eleazar, and the princes of the congregation, being the representatives of the people, had a right to dispose of it, and, which these two tribes request might be given to them, because, say they:

it is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;
to stock it, with and great numbers of them; see ( Numbers 32:1 )

Numbers 32:4 In-Context

2 they came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the other leaders of the community. They said,

3 “Notice the towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, and Beon.

4 The LORD has conquered this whole area for the community of Israel, and it is ideally suited for all our livestock.

5 If we have found favor with you, please let us have this land as our property instead of giving us land across the Jordan River.”

6 “Do you intend to stay here while your brothers go across and do all the fighting?” Moses asked the men of Gad and Reuben.
