22. and the land has been subdued before יהוה, then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless before יהוה and before Yisra’ĕl. And this land shall be your possession before יהוה.
23. “But if you do not do so, then see, you shall sin against יהוה, and know: your sin is going to find you out.
24. “Build cities for your little ones and enclosures for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”
25. And the children of Gaḏ and the children of Re’uḇĕn spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Your servants are going to do as my master commands.
26. “Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock are going to be there in the cities of Gil‛aḏ,
27. but your servants are passing over, every armed one of the army, before יהוה, to battle, as my master says.”
28. And Mosheh gave command concerning them to El‛azar the priest, to Yehoshua son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl.
29. And Mosheh said to them, “If the children of Gaḏ and the children of Re’uḇĕn pass over the Yardĕn with you, every man armed for battle before יהוה, and the land has been subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gil‛aḏ as a possession.
30. “But if they do not pass over armed with you, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Kena‛an.”
31. Then the children of Gaḏ and the children of Re’uḇĕn answered, saying, “As יהוה has said to your servants, so we do.
32. “We ourselves are passing over armed before יהוה into the land of Kena‛an, but the possession of our inheritance remains with us beyond the Yardĕn.”
