Numbers 32:28 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 32:28

So concerning them Moses commanded
That they should have a grant of the land they requested: this looks as if Moses determined the case himself, though perhaps it was by the vote, and with the consent of the whole court; only Moses strictly enjoined them to observe it, namely,

Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel;
and the rather he did this, because he knew that he should die, and not see either the thing itself or the conditions of it performed.

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
