Now the Reubenites ... and Gadites ... , who had very large herds and flocks , - surveyed - the lands of Jazer - - and Gilead , and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
| LXX |
So the Gadites ... and Reubenites ... came - to Moses , ... Eleazar the priest , ... and the leaders of the congregation , and said ,
| LXX |
“ Ataroth , Dibon , Jazer , Nimrah , Heshbon , Elealeh , Sebam , Nebo , and Beon ,
| LXX |
- which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel , are suitable for livestock ... — and your servants have livestock. ”
| LXX |
“ If we have found favor in your sight , ” they said , “ let this land be given - to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross - the Jordan. ”
| LXX |
But Moses asked the Gadites ... and Reubenites ... , “ Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here ?
| LXX |
Why are you discouraging - - the Israelites ... from crossing into the land that the LORD has given
| LXX |
This is what your fathers did when I sent - them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect - the land.
| LXX |
For when (your fathers) went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw - the land , they discouraged - - the Israelites ... from entering ... the land that the LORD had given
| LXX |
So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day , and He swore an oath , saying ,
| LXX |
‘ Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly , not one of the men twenty years of age ... or older - who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob —
| LXX |
not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua - son of Nun — because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly. ’
| LXX |
The anger of the LORD burned against Israel , and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years , until the whole generation who had done evil in (His) sight was gone.
| LXX |
Now behold , you, a brood of sinners , have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke ... the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.
| LXX |
For if you turn away from following Him , He will once again ... leave this people in the wilderness , and you will be the cause of their destruction .... ”
| LXX |
Then (the Gadites and Reubenites) approached (Moses) and said , “ We want to build sheepfolds ... here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.
| LXX |
But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites ... until - - we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.
| LXX |
We will not return to our homes until every Israelite ... has taken possession of his inheritance.
| LXX |
Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond , because ... our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan. ”
| LXX |
Moses replied - , “ If you will do - - this — if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle ,
| LXX |
and if every one of your armed men - crosses the Jordan before the LORD , until He has driven - His enemies out before Him ,
| LXX |
then when the land is subdued before the LORD , - you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong as a possession before the LORD.
| LXX |
But if you do not do this , you will certainly sin against the LORD — and be assured that your sin - will find you out. -
| LXX |
Build cities little ones and folds for your flocks , but do what you have promised .... ”
| LXX |
The Gadites ... and Reubenites ... said to Moses , ... “ Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
| LXX |
Our children , our wives , our livestock , and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
| LXX |
But your servants are equipped for war , and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD , just as our lord says. ”
| LXX |
So Moses gave orders - to Eleazar the priest , - to Joshua - son of Nun , - and to the family leaders of the tribes vvv of Israel.
| LXX |
And Moses said to them , “ If the Gadites ... and Reubenites ... cross the Jordan with you - , with every man armed for battle before the LORD , and the land is subdued before you , then you are to give - the land of Gilead as a possession.
| LXX |
But if they do not arm themselves (and) go across with you , then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan. ”
| LXX |
The Gadites ... and Reubenites ... ... - replied , “ As the LORD has spoken to your servants , so we will do.
| LXX |
We will cross over into the land of Canaan armed before the LORD , that we may have our inheritance ... on this side of the Jordan. ”
| LXX |
So Moses gave the Gadites ... , to the Reubenites ... , and to the half-tribe ... of Manasseh son of Joseph - the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites - and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan — the land including its cities and the territory surrounding them ....
| LXX |
And the Gadites ... - built up Dibon , - Ataroth , - Aroer ,
| LXX |
- vvv Atroth-shophan , - Jazer , Jogbehah ,
| LXX |
- vvv Beth-nimrah , - vvv and Beth-haran as fortified cities , and they built folds for their flocks.
| LXX |
The Reubenites ... built up - Heshbon , - Elealeh , - Kiriathaim ,
| LXX |
- as well as Nebo - vvv and Baal-meon (whose names - were changed ), and Sibmah. And they renamed ... - - the cities - they rebuilt.
| LXX |
The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead , captured it , and drove out - the Amorites who were
| LXX |
So Moses - gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh , and they settled
| LXX |
Jair , a descendant of Manasseh , went and captured - their villages and called - them Havvoth-jair.
| LXX |
And Nobah went and captured - Kenath - and its villages and called Nobah , after his own name.
