25. And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, `Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26. our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
27. and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28. And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
29. and Moses saith unto them, `If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30. and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
31. And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, `That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants--so we do;
32. we--we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
33. And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
34. And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35. and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36. and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
