Contextual Overview

16Then they came near to him and said, "We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones; 17but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, and our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance. 19For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan east." 20So Moses said to them, "If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before Yahweh for the war, 21and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before Yahweh until He has dispossessed His enemies from before Him, 22and the land is subdued before Yahweh, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward Yahweh and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before Yahweh. 23But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and be sure your sin will find you out. 24Build yourselves cities for your little ones and sheepfolds for your sheep, and do what you have promised." 25And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands.
