Numbers 32:27

27 nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum sicut tu domine loqueris

Numbers 32:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:27

But thy servants will pass over
The river Jordan, and go into the land of Canaan:

every man armed for war;
Moses had required that all should go over, and they consent to it, and promise that everyone should, though this was not insisted on when they came to it, for only about 40,000 went over, ( Joshua 4:13 ) , whereas the two tribes of Gad and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, numbered more than 110,000; see ( Numbers 26:7 Numbers 26:18 Numbers 26:34 ) :

before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith;
for now, instead of saying, "before the children of Israel", a phrase they first used, they say, "before the Lord", as Moses had expressed it.

Numbers 32:27 In-Context

25 dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Mosen servi tui sumus faciemus quod iubet dominus noster

26 parvulos nostros et mulieres et pecora ac iumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad

27 nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum sicut tu domine loqueris

28 praecepit ergo Moses Eleazaro sacerdoti et Iosue filio Nun et principibus familiarum per tribus Israhel et dixit ad eos

29 si transierint filii Gad et filii Ruben vobiscum Iordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino et vobis fuerit terra subiecta date eis Galaad in possessionem
