He chose the best land for himself; the leader’s portion was kept for him. When the heads of the people assembled, he carried out the Lord’s righteous will, and his judgments concerning Israel.”

He chose the best land for his livestock. The leader’s share was kept for him. The leaders of the people came together. Then Gad carried out the Lord’ s holy plan. He carried out the Lord’ s decisions for Israel.”

He chose the best of the land for himself, for there a commander’s portion was reserved; and he came with the heads of the people, with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments for Israel.”

The people of Gad took the best land for themselves; a leader’s share was assigned to them. When the leaders of the people were assembled, they carried out the Lord’s justice and obeyed his regulations for Israel.”

He chose the best part for himself, because a ruler’s portion was assigned there for him. He came with the leaders of the people; he carried out the LORD’s justice and his ordinances for Israel.

你们的妻子儿女和牲畜可以留在约旦河东岸摩西分给你们的土地上，但你们当中所有的勇士要带着兵器先过约旦河，帮助你们的弟兄。

约书亚召来了吕便、迦得和玛拿西半个支派的人来，对他们说：“你们都遵守了耶和华的仆人摩西的一切吩咐，也遵守了我的一切吩咐。这些日子以来，你们从没有离弃自己的弟兄，遵守了你们的上帝耶和华的吩咐。现在你们的上帝耶和华已经照祂的应许使你们的弟兄安居，你们可以回到约旦河东，到摩西赐给你们作产业的地方。

歌乐手聚集在井旁，传扬耶和华和祂以色列子民的胜利。耶和华的子民都来到城门口。

吕便支派、迦得支派和玛拿西半个支派的人照摩西从前的嘱咐，带着兵器走在以色列人的前面。大约有四万全副武装的以色列人在耶和华面前过了河，前往耶利哥平原，准备作战。

“以色列的首领身先士卒，民众前仆后继，你们要赞美耶和华！

吕便和迦得的子孙有许多牲畜，他们见雅谢和基列适于放牧，就来见摩西、以利亚撒祭司和会众的首领，说：“亚大录、底本、雅谢、宁拉、希实本、以利亚利、示班、尼波和比稳——这些耶和华为以色列会众攻取的地方适于放牧，而仆人们有许多牲畜。如果你们恩待我们，请将这些地方赐给我们作产业，别让我们过约旦河了。”摩西对他们说：“难道你们要坐在这里，让其他同胞去打仗吗？

他们上前对摩西说：“我们要在这里为牲畜建围栏，为家眷筑城邑，让他们留在坚固的城内，免受当地居民的威胁。然后我们必拿起兵器率先上阵，直到帮其他以色列同胞夺取他们的土地。在其他同胞占领各自的产业之前，我们决不回家。但我们不会跟他们在约旦河西岸分土地，我们只想要约旦河东岸之地作产业。”摩西说：“如果你们信守承诺，拿起兵器在耶和华面前出战，你们全军就要在耶和华面前渡过约旦河，直到祂赶走祂面前的仇敌，征服那地方。之后，你们才可以回家，才算在耶和华和以色列人面前尽了自己的责任，这地方就在耶和华面前归给你们作产业。但如果你们不守承诺，就是得罪耶和华，必难逃惩罚。你们现在去为家人筑城邑，为牛羊建围栏吧，但别忘了信守承诺。”迦得和吕便的子孙对摩西说：“仆人们一定遵命而行。我们的妻子、孩子、牛羊等牲畜都会留在基列的各城。仆人当中所有能上阵打仗的人都会照你的吩咐在耶和华面前过河作战。”于是，摩西对以利亚撒祭司、嫩的儿子约书亚和以色列各支派的族长说：“如果迦得和吕便子孙中所有能上阵打仗的人，在耶和华面前跟你们一同过河作战，你们征服那片土地以后就要把基列给他们作产业。如果他们不带着兵器跟你们一起过河作战，就只能在迦南与你们同分产业。”迦得和吕便的子孙再次说：“凡耶和华所吩咐的，仆人们一定照办。我们一定带着兵器在耶和华面前过河，前往迦南，但我们要拥有约旦河东之地作产业。”摩西就把亚摩利王西宏和巴珊王噩的国土及周围的城邑都给了迦得的子孙、吕便的子孙和约瑟儿子玛拿西的半个支派。迦得的子孙重建了底本、亚他录、亚罗珥、亚他录·朔反、雅谢、约比哈、伯·宁拉和伯·哈兰，使之成为坚固的城池，并建了羊圈。吕便的子孙重建了希实本、以利亚利、基列亭、尼波、巴力·免和西比玛。他们为重建的城邑起了新名字，如尼波和巴力·免。玛拿西之子玛吉的子孙占领了基列，赶走了那里的亚摩利人。摩西就把基列赐给玛拿西的儿子玛吉，作他的居所。玛拿西的子孙雅珥占领了基列的村庄，将它们改名为哈倭特·雅珥。挪巴占领了基纳及其周围的村庄，就按自己的名字称基纳为挪巴。
