  • Num 32:2-9 : 2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 3 Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 The country which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, is a land suitable for cattle, and your servants have cattle. 5 Therefore, they said, if we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession, and do not bring us over the Jordan. 6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? 7 And why discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them? 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they would not go into the land which the LORD had given them. 10 And the LORD's anger was kindled at that time, and he swore, saying, 11 Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me, 12 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed the LORD. 13 And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed. 14 And, behold, you have risen in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to add still more to the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

This is the north side. 18 And the east side you shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. This is the east side. 19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea.

This is the west side. 21 So shall you divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. 22 And it shall come to pass, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance among you, and to the strangers who live among you, who shall bear children among you: and they shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. 23 And it shall come to pass, that in whatever tribe the stranger resides, there you shall give him his inheritance, says the Lord GOD.
