BRAGADAYJAH
487
After
hearing Reuben and Gad and after their pledge to him, Moses called Eleazar the
priest and Joshua and the princes of the congregation and told them of the
promises of Reuben and Gad to go forward with them to conquer Canaan, and his
promise to them to let them built cities for their wives and children and
stockyards for their flocks and having secured them to join the rest of the
army to go over Jordan every man armed for battle to fight the battle of the
Lord in order to conquer the promised land, He also told them that after a successful
campaign then Reuben and Gad were to have the land of Gilead for their
possession. But if they choose not to go
over to war they would have possession
among them in the land of Canaan.
At
Moses’ words Reuben and Gad once again pledged their determination with regard
to remaining in the land of Gilead, but also would go over armed to fight with
the rest of Israel.
Moses
gave unto Reuben and Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the
Kingdom of Sihon, King of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, King of Bashan,
all that land and the cities thereof, and all the borders round about. And so
Gad and Reuben and Manasseh built many cities round about.
