Numbers:32-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle :
and when they saw the land of Jazer ,
and the land of Gilead ,
that ,
behold ,
the place was a place for cattle ;
*
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses ,
and to Eleazar the priest ,
and unto the princes of the congregation ,
saying ,
*
Ataroth ,
and Dibon ,
and Jazer ,
and Nimrah ,
and Heshbon ,
and Elealeh ,
and Shebam ,
and Nebo ,
and Beon ,
*
Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel ,
is a land for cattle ,
and thy servants have cattle :
*
Wherefore ,
said they ,
if we have found grace in thy sight ,
let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession ,
and bring us not over Jordan .
*
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben ,
Shall your brethren go to war ,
and shall ye sit here ?
*
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them ?
*
Thus did your fathers ,
when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land .
*
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol ,
and saw the land ,
they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel ,
that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them .
*
And the LORD '
S anger was kindled the same time ,
and he sware ,
saying ,
*
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt ,
from twenty years old and upward ,
shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham ,
unto Isaac ,
and unto Jacob ;
because they have not wholly followed me :
*
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite ,
and Joshua the son of Nun :
for they have wholly followed the LORD .
*
And the LORD '
S anger was kindled against Israel ,
and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years ,
until all the generation ,
that had done evil in the sight of the LORD ,
was consumed .
*
And ,
behold ,
ye are risen up in your fathers '
stead ,
an increase of sinful men ,
to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel .
*
For if ye turn away from after him ,
he will yet again leave them in the wilderness ;
and ye shall destroy all this people .
*
And they came near unto him ,
and said ,
We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle ,
and cities for our little ones :
*
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel ,
until we have brought them unto their place :
and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land .
*
We will not return unto our houses ,
until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance .
*
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan ,
or forward ;
because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward .
*
And Moses said unto them ,
If ye will do this thing ,
if ye will go armed before the LORD to war ,
*
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD ,
until he hath driven out his enemies from before him ,
*
And the land be subdued before the LORD :
then afterward ye shall return ,
and be guiltless before the LORD ,
and before Israel ;
and this land shall be your possession before the LORD .
*
But if ye will not do so ,
behold ,
ye have sinned against the LORD :
and be sure your sin will find you out .
*
Build you cities for your little ones ,
and folds for your sheep ;
and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth .
*
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth .
*
Our little ones ,
our wives ,
our flocks ,
and all our cattle ,
shall be there in the cities of Gilead :
*
But thy servants will pass over ,
every man armed for war ,
before the LORD to battle ,
as my lord saith .
*
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest ,
and Joshua the son of Nun ,
and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel :
*
And Moses said unto them ,
If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan ,
every man armed to battle ,
before the LORD ,
and the land shall be subdued before you ;
then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession :
*
But if they will not pass over with you armed ,
they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan .
*
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered ,
saying ,
As the LORD hath said unto thy servants ,
so will we do .
*
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan ,
that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours .
*
And Moses gave unto them ,
even to the children of Gad ,
and to the children of Reuben ,
and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph ,
the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites ,
and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan ,
the land ,
with the cities thereof in the coasts ,
even the cities of the country round about .
*
And the children of Gad built Dibon ,
and Ataroth ,
and Aroer ,
*
And Atroth ,
Shophan ,
and Jaazer ,
and Jogbehah ,
*
And Bethnimrah ,
and Bethharan ,
fenced cities :
and folds for sheep .
*
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon ,
and Elealeh ,
and Kirjathaim ,
*
And Nebo ,
and Baalmeon , (
their names being changed ,)
and Shibmah :
and gave other names unto the cities which they builded .
*
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead ,
and took it ,
and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it .
*
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh ;
and he dwelt therein .
*
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof ,
and called them Havothjair .
*
And Nobah went and took Kenath ,
and the villages thereof ,
and called it Nobah ,
after his own name .
*
These are the journeys of the children of Israel ,
which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron .
*
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD :
and these are their journeys according to their goings out .
*
And they departed from Rameses in the first month ,
on the fifteenth day of the first month ;
on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians .
*
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn ,
which the LORD had smitten among them :
upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments .
*
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses ,
and pitched in Succoth .
*
And they departed from Succoth ,
and pitched in Etham ,
which is in the edge of the wilderness .
*
And they removed from Etham ,
and turned again unto Pihahiroth ,
which is before Baalzephon :
and they pitched before Migdol .
*
And they departed from before Pihahiroth ,
and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness ,
and went three days '
journey in the wilderness of Etham ,
and pitched in Marah .
*
And they removed from Marah ,
and came unto Elim :
and in Elim were twelve fountains of water ,
and threescore and ten palm trees ;
and they pitched there .
*
And they removed from Elim ,
and encamped by the Red sea .
*
And they removed from the Red sea ,
and encamped in the wilderness of Sin .
*
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin ,
and encamped in Dophkah .
*
And they departed from Dophkah ,
and encamped in Alush .
*
And they removed from Alush ,
and encamped at Rephidim ,
where was no water for the people to drink .
*
And they departed from Rephidim ,
and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai .
*
And they removed from the desert of Sinai ,
and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah .
*
And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah ,
and encamped at Hazeroth .
*
And they departed from Hazeroth ,
and pitched in Rithmah .
*
And they departed from Rithmah ,
and pitched at Rimmonparez .
*
And they departed from Rimmonparez ,
and pitched in Libnah .
*
And they removed from Libnah ,
and pitched at Rissah .
*
And they journeyed from Rissah ,
and pitched in Kehelathah .
*
And they went from Kehelathah ,
and pitched in mount Shapher .
*
And they removed from mount Shapher ,
and encamped in Haradah .
*
And they removed from Haradah ,
and pitched in Makheloth .
*
And they removed from Makheloth ,
and encamped at Tahath .
*
And they departed from Tahath ,
and pitched at Tarah .
*
And they removed from Tarah ,
and pitched in Mithcah .
*
And they went from Mithcah ,
and pitched in Hashmonah .
*
And they departed from Hashmonah ,
and encamped at Moseroth .
*
And they departed from Moseroth ,
and pitched in Benejaakan .
*
And they removed from Benejaakan ,
and encamped at Horhagidgad .
*
And they went from Horhagidgad ,
and pitched in Jotbathah .
*
And they removed from Jotbathah ,
and encamped at Ebronah .
*
And they departed from Ebronah ,
and encamped at Eziongaber .
*
And they removed from Eziongaber ,
and pitched in the wilderness of Zin ,
which is Kadesh .
*
And they removed from Kadesh ,
and pitched in mount Hor ,
in the edge of the land of Edom .
*
And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD ,
and died there ,
in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt ,
in the first day of the fifth month .
*
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor .
*
And king Arad the Canaanite ,
which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan ,
heard of the coming of the children of Israel .
*
And they departed from mount Hor ,
and pitched in Zalmonah .
*
And they departed from Zalmonah ,
and pitched in Punon .
*
And they departed from Punon ,
and pitched in Oboth .
*
And they departed from Oboth ,
and pitched in Ijeabarim ,
in the border of Moab .
*
And they departed from Iim ,
and pitched in Dibongad .
*
And they removed from Dibongad ,
and encamped in Almondiblathaim .
*
And they removed from Almondiblathaim ,
and pitched in the mountains of Abarim ,
before Nebo .
*
And they departed from the mountains of Abarim ,
and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho .
*
And they pitched by Jordan ,
from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan ;
*
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you ,
and destroy all their pictures ,
and destroy all their molten images ,
and quite pluck down all their high places :
*
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land ,
and dwell therein :
for I have given you the land to possess it .
*
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families :
and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance ,
and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance :
every man '
s inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth ;
according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit .
*
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you ;
then it shall come to pass ,
that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes ,
and thorns in your sides ,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell .
*
Moreover it shall come to pass ,
that I shall do unto you ,
as I thought to do unto them .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
