Numbers 32

1 The tribes of Reuben and Gad had a large number of livestock. They saw that the regions of Jazer and Gilead were a good place for livestock.
2 So they came to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the leaders of the community, and said to them,
3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 the land that the LORD won for the community of Israel, is a good place for livestock. Gentlemen, we have livestock.
5 Please give us this land as our property. Don't make us cross the Jordan River."
6 Moses asked the tribes of Gad and Reuben, "Are you going to stay here while the rest of the Israelites go to war?
7 That might discourage them from entering the land the LORD has given them.
8 That's what your ancestors did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to take a look at the land.
9 They went as far as the Eshcol Valley and saw the land. But then they discouraged the rest of the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.
10 That day the LORD became angry and swore this oath,
11 'None of the people 20 years old or older, who came from Egypt, will see the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with an oath. This is because they didn't wholeheartedly follow me.'
12 Only Caleb (son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite) and Joshua (son of Nun) will get to see the land. This is because they wholeheartedly followed the LORD.
13 Since the LORD was angry with the Israelites, he made them wander in the desert for 40 years until the whole generation of those who had done evil in the LORD's presence was gone.
14 "You're just like your parents! You're a bunch of sinners trying to make the LORD angry with Israel again.
15 If you turn away from him, he will abandon all these people in the desert. You would be responsible for their destruction."
16 Then the tribes of Gad and Reuben came up to Moses and said, "Allow us to build stone fences for our livestock and cities for our families here.
17 Then we'll be ready [to march] in battle formation ahead of the other Israelites until we have brought them to their land. Meanwhile our families will live in walled cities, safe from the other people who live here.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has received his own land.
19 We won't take possession of any land on the other side of the Jordan River, to the west and beyond. We already have our land here, east of the Jordan."
20 Moses answered, "Do what you have said. In the LORD's presence have all your armed men get ready for battle.
21 Have them cross the Jordan, and fight until the LORD forces out his enemies
22 and the land is conquered. Then you may come back. You will have fulfilled your military duty to the LORD and Israel. This land will be your own property in the LORD's presence.
23 "If you don't do all these things, you will be sinning against the LORD. You can be sure that you will be punished for your sin.
24 Build cities for your families and stone fences for your flocks, but do what you have promised."
25 Then the tribes of Gad and Reuben said to Moses, "Sir, we will do as you command.
26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our other animals will stay here in the cities of Gilead.
27 But in the LORD's presence we will all get ready for battle and go with you, as you have said."
28 So Moses gave orders about them to the priest Eleazar, Joshua (son of Nun), and the family heads of the tribes of Israel.
29 Moses told them, "If the tribes of Gad and Reuben get ready for battle in the LORD's presence and cross the Jordan River with you and you conquer the land, give them Gilead as their own property.
30 If they don't get ready for battle and go with you, the land they will take possession of must be in Canaan with yours."
31 The tribes of Gad and Reuben answered, "Sir, we will do as the LORD has said.
32 We will enter Canaan as armed troops in the LORD's presence, but the land we will take possession of is here, east of the Jordan."
33 So Moses gave the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh, son of Joseph, the kingdoms of King Sihon of the Amorites and King Og of Bashan--the whole land with its cities and its surrounding territory.
34 The tribe of Gad rebuilt the cities of Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as walled cities. They also built stone fences for their flocks.
37 The tribe of Reuben rebuilt the cities of Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. These are the names they gave the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, went to Gilead, captured it, and forced out the Amorites who were there.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to the people of Machir (the descendants of Manasseh), and they lived there.
41 Then Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, captured the settlements in Gilead. He called them Havvoth Jair [Settlements of Jair].
42 Nobah captured Kenath and its villages. He named it Nobah after himself.

Numbers 33

1 This is a list of all the places where the Israelites set up camp after they left Egypt in organized groups under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.
2 At the LORD's command Moses wrote down the places where they went as they traveled. This is the list:
3 They moved from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the Passover. The Israelites boldly left in full view of all the Egyptians.
4 The Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the LORD had killed in a mighty act of judgment on their gods.
5 The Israelites moved from Rameses and set up camp at Succoth.
6 They moved from Succoth and set up camp at Etham, on the edge of the desert.
7 They moved from Etham and turned back to Pi Hahiroth, east of Baal Zephon, and set up camp near Migdol.
8 They moved from Pi Hahiroth and went through the middle of the sea into the desert. After they traveled for three days in the Desert of Etham, they set up camp at Marah.
9 They moved from Marah and came to Elim. Elim had 12 springs and 70 palm trees, so they set up camp there.
10 They moved from Elim and set up camp by the Red Sea.
11 They moved from the Red Sea and set up camp in the Desert of Sin.
12 They moved from the Desert of Sin and set up camp at Dophkah.
13 They moved from Dophkah and set up camp at Alush.
14 They moved from Alush and set up camp at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink.
15 They moved from Rephidim and set up camp in the Desert of Sinai.
16 They moved from the Desert of Sinai and set up camp at Kibroth Hattaavah.
17 They moved from Kibroth Hattaavah and set up camp at Hazeroth.
18 They moved from Hazeroth and set up camp at Rithmah.
19 They moved from Rithmah and set up camp at Rimmon Perez.
20 They moved from Rimmon Perez and set up camp at Libnah.
21 They moved from Libnah and set up camp at Rissah.
22 They moved from Rissah and set up camp at Kehelathah.
23 They moved from Kehelathah and set up camp at Mount Shepher.
24 They moved from Mount Shepher and set up camp at Haradah.
25 They moved from Haradah and set up camp at Makheloth.
26 They moved from Makheloth and set up camp at Tahath.
27 They moved from Tahath and set up camp at Terah.
28 They moved from Terah and set up camp at Mithcah.
29 They moved from Mithcah and set up camp at Hashmonah.
30 They moved from Hashmonah and set up camp at Moseroth.
31 They moved from Moseroth and set up camp at Bene Jaakan.
32 They moved from Bene Jaakan and set up camp at Hor Haggidgad.
33 They moved from Hor Haggidgad and set up camp at Jotbathah.
34 They moved from Jotbathah and set up camp at Abronah.
35 They moved from Abronah and set up camp at Ezion Geber.
36 They moved from Ezion Geber and set up camp at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin.
37 They moved from Kadesh and set up camp at Mount Hor on the border of Edom.
38 At the LORD's command the priest Aaron went up on Mount Hor. He died there on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the Israelites had left Egypt.
39 Aaron was 123 years old when he died on Mount Hor.
40 (The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, which was in Canaan, heard that the Israelites were coming.)
41 They moved from Mount Hor and set up camp at Zalmonah.
42 They moved from Zalmonah and set up camp at Punon.
43 They moved from Punon and set up camp at Oboth.
44 They moved from Oboth and set up camp at Iye Abarim on the border of Moab.
45 They moved from Iyim and set up camp at Dibon Gad.
46 They moved from Dibon Gad and set up camp at Almon Diblathaim.
47 They moved from Almon Diblathaim and set up camp in the Abarim Mountains east of Nebo.
48 They moved from the Abarim Mountains and set up camp on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho.
49 They set up camp on the plains of Moab along the Jordan. Their camp extended from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim.
50 The LORD said to Moses on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho,
51 "Tell the Israelites, 'You will be crossing the Jordan River and entering Canaan.
52 As you advance, force out all the people who live there. Get rid of all their stone and metal idols, and destroy all their places of worship.
53 Take possession of the land and live there, because I will give it to you for your own.
54 Divide the land among your families by drawing lots. Give more land to larger families and less land to smaller ones. The land must be given to each family by drawing lots. Divide it among your ancestors' tribes.
55 "'But if you do not force out those who live in the land, they will be like splinters in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will constantly fight with you over the land you live in.
56 Then I will do to you what I planned to do to them.'"

Numbers 34

1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Give the Israelites these instructions. When you enter Canaan, the land that will be given to you as your inheritance has these borders:
3 "The southern side includes part of the Desert of Zin along the border of Edom. In the east the southern border starts from the end of the Dead Sea
4 and turns south of the Akrabbim Pass. It then goes past Zin and ends at Kadesh Barnea. From there it goes to Hazar Addar and on to Azmon.
5 From Azmon it turns toward the River of Egypt so that the border ends at the Mediterranean Sea.
6 "The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.
7 "The northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Mount Hor,
8 and from Mount Hor to the border of Hamath so that it ends at Zedad.
9 From there the border goes to Ziphron and ends at Hazar Enan.
10 "The eastern border extends from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11 From Shepham the border goes down to Riblah, east of Ain, and continues along the eastern slope of the Sea of Galilee.
12 Then the border goes along the Jordan River so that it ends at the Dead Sea. "This will be your land and the borders around it."
13 Moses commanded the Israelites, "This is the land you will divide by drawing lots. The LORD has commanded that this land will be given to the nine-and-a-half tribes.
14 The households from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh have already received their land.
15 Those two-and-a-half tribes received land east of the Jordan River across from Jericho."
16 The LORD said to Moses,
17 "These are the names of the men who will divide the land for you: the priest Eleazar and Joshua, son of Nun.
18 You must also take one leader from each tribe to divide the land.
19 These are their names: Caleb, son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
20 Shemuel, son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Simeon;
21 Elidad, son of Kislon, from the tribe of Benjamin;
22 Bukki, son of Jogli, the leader of the tribe of Dan;
23 Hanniel, son of Ephod, the leader of the tribe of Manasseh;
24 Kemuel, son of Shiphtan, the leader of the tribe of Ephraim; (Manasseh and Ephraim are Joseph's descendants.)
25 Elizaphan, son of Parnach, the leader of the tribe of Zebulun;
26 Paltiel, son of Azzan, the leader of the tribe of Issachar;
27 Ahihud, son of Shelomi, the leader of the tribe of Asher;
28 Pedahel, son of Ammihud, the leader of the tribe of Naphtali."
29 These are the men the LORD commanded to divide Canaan for the Israelites.
