GNT

NIV

1 The tribes of Reuben and Gad had a lot of livestock. When they saw how suitable the land of Jazer and Gilead was for cattle,
1 The Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were suitable for livestock.
2 they went to Moses, Eleazar, and the other leaders of the community and said,
2 So they came to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, and said,
3 "This region which the Lord has helped the Israelites occupy - the towns of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sibmah, Nebo, and Beon - is good land for livestock, and we have so much livestock.
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo and Beon—
5 Please give us this land as our property, and do not make us cross the Jordan River and settle there."
5 If we have found favor in your eyes,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
6 Moses replied, "Do you want to stay here while the other Israelites go to war?
6 Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here?
7 How dare you try to discourage the people of Israel from crossing the Jordan into the land which the Lord has given them?
7 Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the LORD has given them?
8 That is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land.
8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.
9 They went as far as Eshcol Valley and saw the land, but when they returned, they discouraged the people from entering the land which the Lord had given them.
9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the LORD had given them.
10 The Lord became angry that day and made a promise:
10 The LORD’s anger was aroused that day and he swore this oath:
11 "I swear that because they did not remain loyal to me, none of the men twenty years old or older who came out of Egypt will enter the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'
11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more when they came up out of Egypt will see the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—
12 This included everyone, except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun; they remained loyal to the Lord.
12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly.’
13 The Lord became angry with the people and made them wander in the wilderness forty years until that whole generation that had displeased him was dead.
13 The LORD’s anger burned against Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.
14 And now you have taken your ancestors' place, a new generation of sinful people ready to bring down the fierce anger of the Lord on Israel again.
14 “And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the LORD even more angry with Israel.
15 If you people of Reuben and Gad refuse to follow him now, he will once again abandon all these people in the wilderness, and you will be responsible for their destruction."
15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”
16 They approached Moses and said, "First, allow us to build stone enclosures here for our sheep and fortified towns for our dependents.
16 Then they came up to him and said, “We would like to build pens here for our livestock and cities for our women and children.
17 Then we will be ready to go with the other Israelites into battle and lead the attack until we have settled them in the land that will be theirs. In the meantime, our dependents can live here in the fortified towns, safe from the people of this land.
17 But we will arm ourselves for battle and go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return to our homes until all the other Israelites have taken possession of the land assigned to them.
18 We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.
19 We will not take possession of any property among them on the other side of the Jordan, because we have received our share here east of the Jordan."
19 We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”
20 Moses answered, "If you really mean what you say, then here in the presence of the Lord get ready to go into battle.
20 Then Moses said to them, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle
21 All your fighting men are to cross the Jordan and under the command of the Lord they are to attack our enemies until the Lord defeats them
21 and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven his enemies out before him—
22 and takes possession of the land. After that, you may return, because you will have fulfilled your obligation to the Lord and to the other Israelites. Then the Lord will acknowledge that this land east of the Jordan is yours.
22 then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free from your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the LORD.
23 But if you do not keep your promise, I warn you that you will be sinning against the Lord. Make no mistake about it; you will be punished for your sin.
23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
24 So build your towns and the enclosures for your sheep, but do what you have promised!"
24 Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25 The men of Gad and Reuben said, "Sir, we will do as you command.
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “We your servants will do as our lord commands.
26 Our wives and children and our cattle and sheep will remain here in the towns of Gilead.
26 Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 But all of us are ready to go into battle under the Lord's command. We will cross the Jordan and fight, just as you have said."
27 But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
28 So Moses gave these commands to Eleazar, Joshua, and the other leaders of Israel:
28 Then Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.
29 "If the men of Gad and Reuben cross the Jordan ready for battle at the Lord's command and if with their help you are able to conquer the land, then give them the land of Gilead as their property.
29 He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the LORD, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.
30 But if they do not cross the Jordan and go into battle with you, they are to receive their share of the property in the land of Canaan, as you do."
30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.”
31 The men of Gad and Reuben answered, "Sir, we will do as the Lord has commanded.
31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the LORD has said.
32 Under his command we will cross into the land of Canaan and go into battle, so that we can retain our property here east of the Jordan."
32 We will cross over before the LORD into Canaan armed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.”
33 So Moses assigned to the tribes of Gad and Reuben and to half the tribe of Manasseh all the territory of King Sihon of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan, including the towns and the country around them.
33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.
