26. Our children, wives, livestock, and all of our animals will remain in the cities of Gilead.
27. But your servants, everyone equipped for war before the Lord, will go over to do battle as my master said."
28. Moses made demands for them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua, Nun’s son, and to the leaders of the households of the Israelite tribes.
29. Moses said to them, "If the Gadites and the Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, each equipped for battle before the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, then you will give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
30. If, however, they don’t cross with you, equipped for war, they will take possession of property with you in the land of Canaan."
31. The Gadites and the Reubenites answered, "We’ll do just as the Lord has spoken to your servants.
32. We’ll cross into the land of Canaan before the Lord, equipped for war. But the property we inherit will be across the Jordan."
33. So Moses gave to them—to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, Joseph’s son—the kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, including the land, its cities, and the territory surrounding the land’s cities.
34. The Gadites built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35. Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36. Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities and walled enclosures for flocks.
