Book 04 : TORAH - BAMIDBAR (NUMBERS) - Chapter 032

32:001

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

32:002

the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying

32:003

'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon

32:004

the land which HaShem smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.

32:005

And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.

32:006

And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here

32:007

And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which HaShem hath given them

32:008

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land

32:009

For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which HaShem had given them

32:010

And HaShem'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying

32:011

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me

32:012

save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed HaShem

32:013

And HaShem'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of HaShem, was consumed

32:014

And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of HaShem toward Israel

32:015

For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.

32:016

And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones

32:017

but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land

32:018

We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance

32:019

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.

32:020

And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before HaShem to the war

32:021

and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before HaShem, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him

32:022

and the land be subdued before HaShem, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before HaShem, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before HaShem

32:023

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against HaShem; and know ye your sin which will find you

32:024

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

32:025

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth

32:026

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead

32:027

but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before HaShem to battle, as my lord saith.

32:028

So Moses gave charge 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 children of Israel

32:029

And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before HaShem, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession

32:030

but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

32:031

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As HaShem hath said unto thy servants, so will we do

32:032

We will pass over armed before HaShem into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.

32:033

And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto 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, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about

32:034

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer

32:035

and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah

32:036

and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep

32:037

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim

32:038

and Nebo, and Baal-meon--their names being changed--and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded

32:039

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein

32:040

And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein

32:041

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair

32:042

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name
