Numbers 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:22

And the land be subdued before the Lord
For the inhabitants fleeing before his people, and being conquered by them, might be said to be subdued before the Lord, this being done in his presence, by his power, and for his people:

then afterward ye shall return:
to this side of Jordan, the land of Jazer and Gilead, to their cities, and families there;

and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel:
having fulfilled all that they promised:

and this land shall be your possession before the Lord;
be established and settled in it as their inheritance, the Lord seeing and approving of it, and protecting them in the enjoyment of it.

Numbers 32:22 In-Context

20 And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:

21 And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies:

22 And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.

23 But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.

24 Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.
