WEBVTT 00:00.580 --> 00:05.560 Chapter 32 Now the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, had a very great 00:05.560 --> 00:06.480 multitude of cattle. 00:06.900 --> 00:10.520 And when they saw the land of Jazar, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, 00:10.580 --> 00:13.840 the place was a place for cattle, the children of Gad, and the children of 00:13.840 --> 00:17.820 Reuben, came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the 00:17.820 --> 00:22.620 princes of the congregation, saying, Atteroth, and Dibon, and Jazar, 00:22.760 --> 00:27.480 and Nimra, and Heshbon, and Eleala, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 00:27.840 --> 00:31.560 even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, 00:31.940 --> 00:35.340 is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle. 00:35.560 --> 00:40.560 Wherefore said they, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given 00:40.560 --> 00:44.400 unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan. 00:44.720 --> 00:48.100 And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, 00:48.360 --> 00:49.860 Shall your brethren go to war? 00:50.480 --> 00:51.800 and shall ye sit here? 00:52.360 --> 00:56.820 And wherefore discouraged ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over 00:56.820 --> 00:59.340 into the land which the LORD hath given them? 01:00.200 --> 01:04.240 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Chedesh Barnea, to see the land. 01:04.800 --> 01:09.180 For when they went up into the valley of Eshchor, and saw the land, they 01:09.180 --> 01:12.920 discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the 01:12.920 --> 01:14.500 land which the LORD had given them. 01:15.240 --> 01:21.300 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying, Surely none of 01:21.300 --> 01:25.060 the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, 01:25.420 --> 01:29.920 shall see the land which I swear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, 01:30.480 --> 01:35.160 because they have not wholly followed me, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, 01:35.660 --> 01:40.320 the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the LORD. 01:40.980 --> 01:45.500 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the 01:45.500 --> 01:49.660 wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight 01:49.660 --> 01:51.280 of the LORD was consumed. 01:52.120 --> 01:57.740 And behold, ye are risen up in your father's stead an increase of sinful men, 01:58.080 --> 02:01.360 to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel. 02:01.760 --> 02:06.140 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the 02:06.140 --> 02:09.380 wilderness, and ye shall destroy all this people. 02:09.520 --> 02:13.520 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our 02:13.520 --> 02:15.680 cattle, and cities for our little ones. 02:16.260 --> 02:19.360 But we ourselves will go ready-armed before the children of Israel, 02:19.720 --> 02:21.740 until we have brought them unto their place. 02:22.180 --> 02:25.660 And our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants 02:25.660 --> 02:26.400 of the land. 02:27.020 --> 02:30.940 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have 02:30.940 --> 02:32.880 inherited every man his inheritance. 02:33.700 --> 02:38.680 For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward, 02:39.220 --> 02:43.820 because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan, eastward. 02:44.040 --> 02:49.260 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the 02:49.260 --> 02:54.520 LORD to war, and will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath 02:54.520 --> 02:59.240 driven out his enemies from before him, and the land be subdued before the LORD, 02:59.760 --> 03:04.780 then afterward ye shall return and be guiltless before the LORD and before 03:04.780 --> 03:08.800 Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. 03:08.800 --> 03:14.420 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD, 03:14.620 --> 03:17.580 and be sure your sin will find you out. 03:17.940 --> 03:23.000 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do that 03:23.000 --> 03:24.960 which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 03:25.180 --> 03:28.780 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, 03:28.900 --> 03:31.640 Thy servants will do as my LORD commandeth. 03:32.340 --> 03:37.040 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle shall be there in the 03:37.040 --> 03:42.180 cities of Gilead, but thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, 03:42.800 --> 03:44.980 before the LORD to battle, as my LORD saith. 03:45.160 --> 03:49.680 So concerning them, Moses commanded Eliezer the priest, and Joshua the son of 03:49.680 --> 03:52.980 Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel. 03:53.340 --> 03:57.500 And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will 03:57.500 --> 04:02.780 pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle before the LORD, and the land 04:02.780 --> 04:07.140 shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a 04:07.140 --> 04:07.480 possession. 04:08.260 --> 04:12.840 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among 04:12.840 --> 04:14.060 you in the land of Canaan. 04:14.360 --> 04:18.240 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD 04:18.240 --> 04:21.380 hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. 04:22.080 --> 04:26.320 We will pass over, armed before the LORD, into the land of Canaan, that the 04:26.320 --> 04:29.740 possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. 04:29.740 --> 04:33.840 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad and to the children of 04:33.840 --> 04:37.680 Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom 04:37.680 --> 04:42.100 of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, 04:42.340 --> 04:46.080 the land with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country 04:46.080 --> 04:46.700 round about. 04:47.280 --> 04:52.460 And the children of Gad built Diabon, and Ataroth, and Aror, and Atroth, 04:52.700 --> 04:58.160 Shophan, and Jeazer, and Jogbaha, and Bethnimra, and Bethharan, fenced 04:58.160 --> 05:00.160 cities, and folds for sheep. 05:00.520 --> 05:05.800 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Eliella, and Kirgithaim, and Nebo, 05:06.080 --> 05:10.980 and Baalmeon, their names being changed, and Shibma, and gave other names unto the 05:10.980 --> 05:11.880 cities which they built. 05:12.280 --> 05:16.520 And the children of Makar, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead, and took it, 05:16.680 --> 05:18.640 and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. 05:18.820 --> 05:22.920 And Moses gave Gilead unto Makar, the son of Manasseh, and he dwelt therein. 05:22.920 --> 05:26.900 And Jeor, the son of Manasseh, went and took the small towns thereof, 05:27.160 --> 05:28.820 and called them Havoth-Jeor. 05:29.420 --> 05:33.620 And Nobah went and took Keneth, and the villages thereof, and called it 05:33.620 --> 05:35.320 Nobah after his own name.
