“ Let Reuben live and not die, nor his people be few.”

Here’s what Moses said about Reuben.“ Let Reuben live. Don’t let him die. And do not let his people be few.”

“ Let Reuben live, and not die, but let his men be few.”

Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:“ Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number.”

Let Reuben live and not die though his people become few.

“ May Reuben live and not die, Nor may his people be few.”

“ Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few.”

Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.

Let Reuben live and not die though his people become few.

Let Reuben live, and not die; and let[ not] his men be few.

“ Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, outstanding in dignity, outstanding in power.You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father’s bed, then you defiled it– he got on my couch!

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.But carefully obey the commands and instructions Moses the LORD’s servant gave you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his instructions, obey his commands, be loyal to him, and serve him with all your heart and being!”Joshua rewarded them and sent them on their way; they returned to their homes.( Now to one half-tribe of Manasseh, Moses had assigned land in Bashan; and to the other half Joshua had assigned land on the west side of the Jordan with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home, he rewarded them,saying,“ Take home great wealth, a lot of cattle, silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a lot of clothing. Divide up the goods captured from your enemies with your brothers.”So the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites in Shiloh in the land of Canaan and headed home to their own land in Gilead, which they acquired by the LORD’s command through Moses.

Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father’s sons will bow down before you.

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.”
