Your wives, children and cattle may stay in the land that Moses assigned to you east of the Jordan River. But all you warriors must cross over armed for battle ahead of your brothers. You must help them

Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manassehand told them:“ You have carried out all the instructions of Moses the LORD’s servant, and you have obeyed all I have told you.You have not abandoned your fellow Israelites this entire time, right up to this very day. You have completed the task given you by the LORD your God.Now the LORD your God has made your fellow Israelites secure, just as he promised them. So now you may turn around and go to your homes in your own land which Moses the LORD’s servant assigned to you east of the Jordan.

Hear the sound of those who divide the sheep among the watering places; there they tell of the Lord’s victorious deeds, the victorious deeds of his warriors in Israel. Then the LORD’s people went down to the city gates–

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed for battle ahead of the Israelites, just as Moses had instructed them.About forty thousand battle-ready troops marched past the LORD to fight on the plains of Jericho.

“ When the leaders took the lead in Israel, When the people answered the call to war– Praise the LORD!

Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle,the Gadites and the Reubenites came and addressed Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community. They said,“ Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,the land that the LORD subdued before the community of Israel, is ideal for cattle, and your servants have cattle.”So they said,“ If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross the Jordan River.”Moses said to the Gadites and the Reubenites,“ Must your brothers go to war while you remain here?

Then they came very close to him and said,“ We will build sheep folds here for our flocks and cities for our families,but we will maintain ourselves in armed readiness and go before the Israelites until whenever we have brought them to their place. Our descendants will be living in fortified towns as a protection against the inhabitants of the land.We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has his inheritance.For we will not accept any inheritance on the other side of the Jordan River and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this eastern side of the Jordan.”Then Moses replied,“ If you will do this thing, and if you will arm yourselves for battle before the LORD,and if all your armed men cross the Jordan before the LORD until he drives out his enemies from his presenceand the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you may return and be free of your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. This land will then be your possession in the LORD’s sight.“ But if you do not do this, then look, you will have sinned against the LORD. And know that your sin will find you out.So build cities for your descendants and pens for your sheep, but do what you have said you would do.”So the Gadites and the Reubenites replied to Moses,“ Your servants will do as my lord commands.Our children, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead,but your servants will cross over, every man armed for war, to do battle in the LORD’s presence, just as my lord says.”So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the heads of the families of the Israelite tribes.Moses said to them:“ If the Gadites and the Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, each one equipped for battle in the LORD’s presence, and you conquer the land, then you must allot them the territory of Gilead as their possession.But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must receive possessions among you in Canaan.”Then the Gadites and the Reubenites answered,“ Your servants will do what the LORD has spoken.We will cross armed in the LORD’s presence into the land of Canaan, and then the possession of our inheritance that we inherit will be ours on this side of the Jordan River.”So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, Baal Meon( with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.The descendants of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.So Moses gave Gilead to Machir, son of Manasseh, and he lived there.Now Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their small towns and named them Havvoth Jair.Then Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.
