Nombres 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 )

3 Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimra, Hesbon, Élealé, Sebam, Nébo et Beon,
4 Ce pays, que l'Éternel a frappé devant l'assemblée d'Israël, est un pays propre pour les troupeaux, et tes serviteurs ont des troupeaux.
5 Ils dirent donc: Si nous avons trouvé grâce à tes yeux, que ce pays soit donné en possession à tes serviteurs; ne nous fais point passer le Jourdain.
6 Mais Moïse répondit aux enfants de Gad et aux enfants de Ruben: Vos frères iront-ils à la guerre, tandis que vous, vous demeurerez ici?
