24. Build you towns for your little ones, and your gidrot tzon; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
25. And the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven spoke unto Moshe saying, Thy avadim will do as adoni commandeth.
26. Our little ones, our nashim, our mikneh, and all behemeteinu, shall stay there in the cities of Gil`ad;
27. But thy avadim will cross over, every man armed for war, before Hashem to battle, as adoni saith.
28. So concerning them Moshe commanded Eleazar HaKohen, and Yehoshua Ben Nun, and the Rashei Avot HaMattot of the Bnei Yisroel;
29. And Moshe said unto them, If the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven will cross with you over Yarden, every man armed for battle, before Hashem, and HaAretz shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them Eretz Gil`ad for an achuzzah;
30. But if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in Eretz Kena'an.
31. And the Bnei Gad and the Bnei Reuven answered, saying, As Hashem hath said unto thy avadim, so will we do.
32. We will cross over armed before Hashem into Eretz Kena'an, that the achuzzat nachalatenu on that side of the Yarden may be our own.
33. And Moshe gave unto them, even to the Bnei Gad, and to the Bnei Reuven, and unto half the shevet of Menasheh Ben Yosef, the kingdom of Sichon Melech HaEmori, and the kingdom of Og Melech HaBashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the territories, even the cities of the surrounding land.
