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.
34. And the Bnei Gad built Divon, and Atarot, and Aroer,
35. And Atrot, Shophan, Ya'azer, and Yogbehah,
36. And Beit Nimrah and Beit Haran, fortified cities; and gidrot tzon.
37. And the Bnei Reuven built Cheshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiryatayim,
38. And Nevo, and Ba'al Me'on, (their shem being changed) and Sivmah; and gave other shmot unto the cities which they built.
39. And the Bnei Machir Ben Menasheh went to Gil`ad, and captured it, and dispossessed the Emori (Amorite) which was in it.
40. And Moshe gave Gil`ad unto Machir Ben Menasheh; and he dwelt therein.
41. And Ya'ir Ben Menasheh went and captured the settlements thereof, and called them Chavot Ya'ir.
42. And Novach went and captured Kenat, and the villages thereof, and called it Novach, after shmo.
