Numbers 32:33
Read Numbers 32:33 Using Other Translations
What does Numbers 32:33 mean?
And Moses gave unto them
By word of mouth, in the presence of the court, or rather by some
instrument drawn up and signed by him and the sanhedrim, or
witnessed by them:
[even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of
Reuben, and unto
half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph;
no mention is made of this half tribe joining with the other two
tribes in the request to settle on this side Jordan, and
therefore it is generally thought that they were encouraged, by
the success of the two tribes, to make a like motion; or else
Moses and the princes, observing that there was too much land for
the said tribes, joined this half tribe with them, the land being
suitable for them:
the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom
of Og king
of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts,
even the
cities of the country round about;
of which kingdoms, and the conquest of them, see ( Numbers
21:24-35 ) , and several of the cities in them are after
mentioned.
