He chose the best land for himself; the leader’s portion was kept for him. When the heads of the people assembled, he carried out the Lord’s righteous will, and his judgments concerning Israel.”

He chose the best land for his livestock. The leader’s share was kept for him. The leaders of the people came together. Then Gad carried out the Lord’ s holy plan. He carried out the Lord’ s decisions for Israel.”

The people of Gad took the best land for themselves; a leader’s share was assigned to them. When the leaders of the people were assembled, they carried out the Lord’s justice and obeyed his regulations for Israel.”

He chose the best part for himself, because a ruler’s portion was assigned there for him. He came with the leaders of the people; he carried out the LORD’s justice and his ordinances for Israel.

Then he selected the choicest part for himself, For there the ruler’s portion was reserved; And he came with the leaders of the people; He executed the justice of the Lord, And His ordinances with Israel.”

He provided the first part for himself, Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there. He came with the heads of the people; He administered the justice of the Lord, And His judgments with Israel.”

And he provided the first part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; And he came with the heads of the people; He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, And his ordinances with Israel.

Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them,

At that time Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,and said to them,“ You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you.You have not forsaken your brothers these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the Lord your God.And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the Lord, the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel.“ Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord.

The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had told them.About 40,000 ready for war passed over before the Lord for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

“ That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless the Lord!

Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for livestock.So the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the congregation,“ Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,the land that the Lord struck down before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”And they said,“ If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan.”But Moses said to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben,“ Shall your brothers go to the war while you sit here?

Then they came near to him and said,“ We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones,but we will take up arms, ready to go before the people of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance.For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.”So Moses said to them,“ If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the Lord for the war,and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord, until he has driven out his enemies from before himand the land is subdued before the Lord; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses,“ Your servants will do as my lord commands.Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead,but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord orders.”So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel.And Moses said to them,“ If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the Lord, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered,“ What the Lord has said to your servants, we will do.We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”And Moses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-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 and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country.And the people of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep.And the people of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, and Baal-meon( their names were changed), and Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities that they built.And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he settled in it.And Jair the son of Manasseh went and captured their villages, and called them Havvoth-jair.And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
