Contextual Overview

16 And they came neere vnto him, and said, Wee will build sheepfoldes here for our cattell, and cities for our litle ones. 17 But we ourselues will goe ready armed before the children of Israel, vntill wee haue brought them vnto their place: and our litle ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 Wee will not returne vnto our houses, vntill the children of Israel haue inherited euery man his inheritance: 19 For wee will not inherite with them on yonder side Iordane, or forward, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iordane Eastward. 20 And Moses said vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, if ye will goe armed before the Lord to warre, 21 And will goe all of you armed ouer Iordane before the Lord, vntill he hath driuen out his enemies from before him, 22 And the land bee subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall returne, and bee guiltlesse before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. 23 But if ye will not doe so, behold, yee haue sinned against the Lord: and bee sure your sinne will finde you out. 24 Build ye cities for your litle ones, and folds for your sheepe, and doe that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 25 And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben spake vnto Moses, saying, Thy seruants will doe as my lord commandeth.
