What does Numbers 32:31 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Numbers 32:31
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
answered,
&c.], The word is in the singular number, and shows their
unanimity, that they agreed to what Moses said, and replied all
of them as one man, as Jarchi expresses it; and it may be there
was one that was the mouth of them all, and answered for them:
saying, as the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we
do;
here they make use of the word Jehovah, taking what Moses had
said unto them as from the Lord, and therefore should strictly
and punctually observe it, as if they heard the Lord himself
speak it.
