Contextual Overview

¹⁶ The men from Reuben and Gad replied: Let us build places to keep our sheep and goats, and towns for our wives and children, ¹⁷ where they can stay and be safe. Then we'll prepare to fight and lead the other tribes into battle. ¹⁸ We will stay with them until they have settled in their own tribal lands. ¹⁹ The land on this side of the Jordan River will be ours, so we won't expect to receive any on the other side. ²⁰ Moses said: You promised that you would be ready to fight for the Lord . ²¹ You also agreed to cross the Jordan and stay with the rest of the Israelites, until the Lord forces our enemies out of the land. If you do these things, ²² then after the Lord helps Israel capture the land, you can return to your own land. You will no longer have to stay with the others. ²³ But if you don't keep your promise, you will sin against the Lord and be punished. ²⁴ Go ahead and build towns for your wives and children, and places for your sheep and goats. Just be sure to do what you have promised. ²⁵ The men from Reuben and Gad answered: Sir, we will do just what you have said.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle,.... Their families, and their substance:

shall be there in the cities of Gilead; such as are before mentioned,
