Numbers 32 (NET) New English Translation

1 Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle,
2 the Gadites and the Reubenites came and addressed Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community. They said,
3 "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 the land that the LORD subdued before the community of Israel, is ideal for cattle, and your servants have cattle."
5 So they said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross the Jordan River."
6 Moses said to the Gadites and the Reubenites, "Must your brothers go to war while you remain here?
7 Why do you frustrate the intent of the Israelites to cross over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 When they went up to the Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they frustrated the intent of the Israelites so that they did not enter the land that the LORD had given them.
10 So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and he swore,
11 'Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years old and upward who came from Egypt will see the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
12 except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the LORD wholeheartedly.'
13 So the LORD's anger was kindled against the Israelites, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all that generation that had done wickedly before the LORD was finished.
14 Now look, you are standing in your fathers' place, a brood of sinners, to increase still further the fierce wrath of the LORD against the Israelites.
15 For if you turn away from following him, he will once again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will be the reason for their destruction."
16 Then they came very close to him and said, "We will build sheep folds here for our flocks and cities for our families,
17 but we will maintain ourselves in armed readiness and go before the Israelites until whenever we have brought them to their place. Our descendants will be living in fortified towns as a protection against the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has his inheritance.
19 For we will not accept any inheritance on the other side of the Jordan River and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this eastern side of the Jordan."
20 Then Moses replied, "If you will do this thing, and if you will arm yourselves for battle before the LORD,
21 and if all your armed men cross the Jordan before the LORD until he drives out his enemies from his presence
22 and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you may return and be free of your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. This land will then be your possession in the LORD's sight.
23 "But if you do not do this, then look, you will have sinned against the LORD. And know that your sin will find you out.
24 So build cities for your descendants and pens for your sheep, but do what you have said you would do."
25 So the Gadites and the Reubenites replied to Moses, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Our children, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead,
27 but your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, to do battle in the LORD's presence, just as my lord says."
28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the heads of the families of the Israelite tribes.
29 Moses said to them: "If the Gadites and the Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, each one equipped for battle in the LORD's presence, and you conquer the land, then you must allot them the territory of Gilead as their possession.
30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must receive possessions among you in Canaan."
31 Then the Gadites and the Reubenites answered, "Your servants will do what the LORD has spoken.
32 We will cross armed in the LORD's presence into the land of Canaan, and then the possession of our inheritance that we inherit will be ours on this side of the Jordan River."
33 So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.
34 The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36 Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.
37 The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38 Nebo, Baal Meon (with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.
39 The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
40 So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.
41 Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.
42 Then Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.
1 Now the children H1121 L-CMP of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 had H1961 VQQ3MS a very H3966 ADV great H6099 multitude H7227 AMS of cattle H4735 : and when they saw H7200 W-VQY3MP the land H776 GFS of Jazer H3270 , and the land H776 GFS of Gilead H1568 , that , behold H2009 IJEC , the place H4725 D-NMS was a place H4725 CMS for cattle H4735 ;
2 The children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 came H935 W-VQY3MP and spoke H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , and to H413 PREP Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 , and unto H413 PREP the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
3 Ataroth H5852 , and Dibon H1769 , and Jazer H3270 , and Nimrah H5247 , and Heshbon H2809 , and Elealeh H500 , and Shebam H7643 , and Nebo H5015 , and Beon H1194 ,
4 Even the country H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS smote H5221 before H6440 L-CMP the congregation H5712 CFS of Israel H3478 , is a land H776 GFS for cattle H4735 NMS , and thy servants H5650 have cattle H4735 :
5 Wherefore , said H559 W-VQY3MP they , if H518 PART we have found H4672 VQQ1MP grace H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 , let this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS be given H5414 VWY3MS unto thy servants H5650 for a possession H272 , and bring us not over H5674 Jordan H3383 .
6 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the children H1121 L-CMP of Gad H1410 and to the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , Shall your brethren H251 go H935 VQY3MP to war H4421 , and shall ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP sit H3427 here H6311 ?
7 And wherefore H4100 WL-IGAT discourage H5106 ye the heart H3820 NMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 from going over H5674 into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS hath given H5414 VQQ3MS them ?
8 Thus H3541 did H6213 VQQ3MP your fathers H1 , when I sent H7971 them from Kadesh H6947 - barnea to see H7200 L-VQFC the land H776 D-GFS .
9 For when they went up H5927 unto H5704 PREP the valley H5158 NMS of Eshcol H812 , and saw H7200 W-VQY3MP the land H776 D-GFS , they discouraged H5106 the heart H3820 NMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they should not H1115 L-NPAR go H935 into H413 PREP the land H776 D-GFS which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS had given H5414 VQQ3MS them .
10 And the LORD H3068 EDS \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS time H3117 B-AMS , and he swore H7650 , saying H559 L-VQFC ,
11 Surely H518 PART none of the men H376 D-NMP that came up H5927 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , from twenty H6242 years H8141 NFS old H1121 and upward H4605 , shall see H7200 VQY3MP the land H127 D-NFS which H834 RPRO I swore H7650 unto Abraham H85 , unto Isaac H3327 , and unto Jacob H3290 ; because H3588 CONJ they have not H3808 NADV wholly H4390 followed H310 me :
12 Save H1115 PREP Caleb H3612 the son H1121 of Jephunneh H3312 the Kenezite H7074 , and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 : for H3588 CONJ they have wholly H4390 followed H310 PREP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
13 And the LORD H3068 EDS \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 against Israel H3478 , and he made them wander H5128 in the wilderness H4057 forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS , until H5704 PREP all H3605 NMS the generation H1755 , that had done H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , was consumed H8552 .
14 And , behold H2009 IJEC , ye are risen up H6965 in your fathers\' stead H8478 NMS , an increase H8635 of sinful H2400 AMP men H376 , to augment H5595 yet H5750 ADV the fierce H2740 CMS anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS toward H413 PREP Israel H3478 LMS .
15 For H3588 CONJ if ye turn away H7725 from after H310 M-ADV-3MS him , he will yet H5750 ADV again H3254 leave H5117 them in the wilderness H4057 ; and ye shall destroy H7843 all H3605 L-CMS this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 .
16 And they came near H5066 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , We will build H1129 VQI1MS sheepfolds H6629 NMS here H6311 ADV for our cattle H4735 , and cities H5892 for our little ones H2945 :
17 But we H587 ourselves will go ready armed H2502 before H6440 L-CMP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , until H5704 PREP we have brought H935 them unto H413 PREP their place H4725 : and our little ones H2945 shall dwell H3427 in the fenced H4013 cities H5892 B-CFP because H6440 L-CMP of the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS .
18 We will not H3808 NADV return H7725 unto H413 PREP our houses H1004 , until H5704 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have inherited H5157 every man H376 NMS his inheritance H5159 .
19 For H3588 CONJ we will not H3808 NADV inherit H5157 with H854 PREP-3MP them on yonder side H5676 M-CMS Jordan H3383 , or forward H1973 ; because H3588 CONJ our inheritance H5159 is fallen H935 to H413 us on this side H5676 M-CMS Jordan H3383 D-EFS eastward H4217 .
20 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , If H518 PART ye will do H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS , if H518 PART ye will go armed H2502 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS to war H4421 ,
21 And will go H5674 all H3605 NMS of you armed H2502 over Jordan H3383 D-EFS before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , until H5704 PREP he hath driven out H3423 his enemies H341 from before H6440 L-CMP him ,
22 And the land H776 D-GFS be subdued H3533 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS : then afterward H310 W-ADV ye shall return H7725 VQY2MP , and be H1961 W-VQQ2MP guiltless H5355 before the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , and before Israel H3478 ; and this H2063 D-DFS land H776 D-GFS shall be H1961 W-VQQ3FS your possession H272 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
23 But if H518 W-PART ye will not H3808 NADV do H6213 so H3651 ADV , behold H2009 IJEC , ye have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 L-EDS : and be sure H3045 your sin H2403 will find you out H4672 VQY2MS .
24 Build H1129 you cities H5892 GFP for your little ones H2945 , and folds H1448 for your sheep H6792 ; and do H6213 that which hath proceeded out H3318 of your mouth H6310 .
25 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy servants H5650 will do H6213 as H834 K-RPRO my lord H113 commandeth H6680 .
26 Our little ones H2945 , our wives H802 , our flocks H4735 , and all H3605 W-CMS our cattle H929 , shall be H1961 there H8033 ADV in the cities H5892 B-CFP of Gilead H1568 :
27 But thy servants H5650 will pass over H5674 , every man H3605 NMS armed H2502 for war H6635 NMS , before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS to battle H4421 , as H834 K-RPRO my lord H113 saith H1696 .
28 So concerning them Moses H4872 commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 , and Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , and the chief H7218 CMP fathers H1 of the tribes H4294 of the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 LMS :
29 And Moses H4872 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , If H518 PART the children H1121 CMP of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 will pass with you over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , every man H3605 NMS armed H2502 to battle H4421 , before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , and the land H776 D-GFS shall be subdued H3533 before H6440 L-CMP you ; then ye shall give H5414 them the land H776 GFS of Gilead H1568 for a possession H272 :
30 But if H518 W-PART they will not H3808 NADV pass over H5674 with H854 PART-2MP you armed H2502 , they shall have possessions H270 among H8432 you in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 LMS .
31 And the children H1121 CMP of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 answered H6030 , saying H559 L-VQFC , As H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath said H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 PREP thy servants H5650 , so H3651 ADV will we do H6213 .
32 We H5168 will pass over H5674 armed H2502 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS into the land H776 GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS , that the possession H272 of our inheritance H5159 on this side H5676 M-CMS Jordan H3383 may be ours .
33 And Moses H4872 gave H5414 W-VQQ3MS unto them , even to the children H1121 L-CMP of Gad H1410 , and to the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and unto half H2677 the tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 the son H1121 CMS of Joseph H3130 , the kingdom H4467 of Sihon H5511 king H4428 NMS of the Amorites H567 , and the kingdom H4467 of Og H5747 king H4428 NMS of Bashan H1316 , the land H776 D-GFS , with the cities H5892 thereof in the coasts H1367 , even the cities H5892 of the country H776 D-GFS round about H5439 .

39 And the children H1121 of Machir H4353 the son H1121 of Manasseh H4519 went H1980 W-VQY3MP to Gilead H1568 , and took H3920 it , and dispossessed H3423 the Amorite H567 D-TMS which H834 RPRO was in it .
