32:1 Now the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the children 1121 of Gad 1410 had a very 3966 great 6099 multitude 7227 of cattle 4735: and when they saw 7200 8799 the land 776 of Jazer 3270, and the land 776 of Gilead 1568, that, behold, the place 4725 [was] a place 4725 for cattle 4735;

32:2 The children 1121 of Gad 1410 and the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 came 935 8799 and spake 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, and to Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and unto the princes 5387 of the congregation 5712, saying 559 8800,

32:3 Ataroth 5852, and Dibon 1769, and Jazer 3270, and Nimrah 5247, and Heshbon 2809, and Elealeh 500, and Shebam 7643, and Nebo 5015, and Beon 1194,

32:4 [Even] the country 776 which the LORD 3068 smote 5221 8689 before 6440 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478, [is] a land 776 for cattle 4735, and thy servants 5650 have cattle 4735:

32:5 Wherefore, said 559 8799 they, if we have found 4672 8804 grace 2580 in thy sight 5869, let this land 776 be given 5414 8714 unto thy servants 5650 for a possession 272, [and] bring us not over 5674 8686 Jordan 3383.

32:6 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto the children 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the children 1121 of Reuben 7205, Shall your brethren 251 go 935 8799 to war 4421, and shall ye sit 3427 8799 here?

32:7 And wherefore discourage ye 5106 8686 8675 5106 8799 the heart 3820 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 from going over 5674 8800 into the land 776 which the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 8804 them?(discourage: Heb. break)

32:8 Thus did 6213 8804 your fathers 1, when I sent 7971 8800 them from Kadeshbarnea 6947 to see 7200 8800 the land 776.

32:9 For when they went up 5927 8799 unto the valley 5158 of Eshcol 812, and saw 7200 8799 the land 776, they discouraged 5106 8686 the heart 3820 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, that they should not go 935 8800 into the land 776 which the LORD 3068 had given 5414 8804 them.

32:10 And the LORD'S 3068 anger 639 was kindled 2734 8799 the same time 3117, and he sware 7650 8735, saying 559 8800,

32:11 Surely 518 none of the men 582 that came up 5927 8802 out of Egypt 4714, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, shall see 7200 8799 the land 127 which I sware 7650 8738 unto Abraham 85, unto Isaac 3327, and unto Jacob 3290; because they have not wholly 4390 8765 followed 310 me:(wholly…: Heb. fulfilled after me)

32:12 Save Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 the Kenezite 7074, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126: for they have wholly 4390 8765 followed 310 the LORD 3068.

32:13 And the LORD'S 3068 anger 639 was kindled 2734 8799 against Israel 3478, and he made them wander 5128 8686 in the wilderness 4057 forty 705 years 8141, until all the generation 1755, that had done 6213 8802 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, was consumed 8552 8800.

32:14 And, behold, ye are risen up 6965 8804 in your fathers' 1 stead, an increase 8635 of sinful 2400 men 582, to augment 5595 8800 yet the fierce 2740 anger 639 of the LORD 3068 toward Israel 3478.

32:15 For if ye turn away 7725 8799 from after 310 him, he will yet again 3254 8804 leave 3240 8687 them in the wilderness 4057; and ye shall destroy 7843 8765 all this people 5971.

32:16 And they came near 5066 8799 unto him, and said 559 8799, We will build 1129 8799 sheepfolds 1448 6629 here for our cattle 4735, and cities 5892 for our little ones 2945:

32:17 But we ourselves 587 will go ready 2363 8803 armed 2502 8735 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, until we have brought 935 8689 them unto their place 4725: and our little ones 2945 shall dwell 3427 8804 in the fenced 4013 cities 5892 because 6440 of the inhabitants 3427 8802 of the land 776.

32:18 We will not return 7725 8799 unto our houses 1004, until the children 1121 of Israel 3478 have inherited 5157 8692 every man 376 his inheritance 5159.

32:19 For we will not inherit 5157 8799 with them on yonder side 5676 Jordan 3383, or forward 1973; because our inheritance 5159 is fallen 935 8804 to us on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 eastward 4217.

32:20 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto them, If ye will do 6213 8799 this thing 1697, if ye will go armed 2502 8735 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to war 4421,

32:21 And will go 5674 0 all of you armed 2502 8803 over 5674 8804 Jordan 3383 before 6440 the LORD 3068, until he hath driven out 3423 8687 his enemies 341 8802 from before 6440 him,

32:22 And the land 776 be subdued 3533 8738 before 6440 the LORD 3068: then afterward 310 ye shall return 7725 8799, and be guiltless 5355 before the LORD 3068, and before Israel 3478; and this land 776 shall be your possession 272 before 6440 the LORD 3068.

32:23 But if ye will not do so 6213 8799, behold, ye have sinned 2398 8804 against the LORD 3068: and be sure 3045 8798 your sin 2403 will find you out 4672 8799.

32:24 Build 1129 8798 you cities 5892 for your little ones 2945, and folds 1448 for your sheep 6792; and do 6213 8799 that which hath proceeded 3318 8802 out of your mouth 6310.

32:25 And the children 1121 of Gad 1410 and the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 spake 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, saying 559 8800, Thy servants 5650 will do 6213 8799 as my lord 113 commandeth 6680 8764.

32:26 Our little ones 2945, our wives 802, our flocks 4735, and all our cattle 929, shall be there in the cities 5892 of Gilead 1568:

32:27 But thy servants 5650 will pass over 5674 8799, every man armed 2502 8803 for war 6635, before 6440 the LORD 3068 to battle 4421, as my lord 113 saith 1696 8802.

32:28 So concerning them Moses 4872 commanded 6680 8762 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and the chief 7218 fathers 1 of the tribes 4294 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478:

32:29 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto them, If the children 1121 of Gad 1410 and the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 will pass with you over 5674 8799 Jordan 3383, every man armed 2502 8803 to battle 4421, before 6440 the LORD 3068, and the land 776 shall be subdued 3533 8738 before 6440 you; then ye shall give 5414 8804 them the land 776 of Gilead 1568 for a possession 272:

32:30 But if they will not pass over 5674 8799 with you armed 2502 8803, they shall have possessions 270 8738 among 8432 you in the land 776 of Canaan 3667.

32:31 And the children 1121 of Gad 1410 and the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 answered 6030 8799, saying 559 8800, As the LORD 3068 hath said 1696 8765 unto thy servants 5650, so will we do 6213 8799.

32:32 We will 5168 pass over 5674 8799 armed 2502 8803 before 6440 the LORD 3068 into the land 776 of Canaan 3667, that the possession 272 of our inheritance 5159 on this side 5676 Jordan 3383 [may be] ours.

32:33 And Moses 4872 gave 5414 8799 unto them, [even] to the children 1121 of Gad 1410, and to the children 1121 of Reuben 7205, and unto half 2677 the tribe 7626 of Manasseh 4519 the son 1121 of Joseph 3130, the kingdom 4467 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567, and the kingdom 4467 of Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316, the land 776, with the cities 5892 thereof in the coasts 1367, [even] the cities 5892 of the country 776 round about 5439.

32:34 And the children 1121 of Gad 1410 built 1129 8799 Dibon 1769, and Ataroth 5852, and Aroer 6177,

32:35 And Atroth, Shophan 5855, and Jaazer 3270, and Jogbehah 3011,

32:36 And Bethnimrah 1039, and Bethharan 1028, fenced 4013 cities 5892: and folds 1448 for sheep 6629.

32:37 And the children 1121 of Reuben 7205 built 1129 8804 Heshbon 2809, and Elealeh 500, and Kirjathaim 7156,

32:38 And Nebo 5015, and Baalmeon 1186, (their names 8034 being changed 4142 8716,) and Shibmah 7643: and gave 7121 8799 other names 8034 8034 unto the cities 5892 which they builded 1129 8804.(gave…: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities)

32:39 And the children 1121 of Machir 4353 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519 went 3212 8799 to Gilead 1568, and took 3920 8799 it, and dispossessed 3423 8686 the Amorite 567 which [was] in it.

32:40 And Moses 4872 gave 5414 8799 Gilead 1568 unto Machir 4353 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519; and he dwelt 3427 8799 therein.

32:41 And Jair 2971 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519 went 1980 8804 and took 3920 8799 the small towns 2333 thereof, and called 7121 8799 them Havothjair 2334.

32:42 And Nobah 5025 went 1980 8804 and took 3920 8799 Kenath 7079, and the villages 1323 thereof, and called 7121 8799 it Nobah 5025, after his own name 8034.
