Contextual Overview
16 Then they came near him and said, "We will build safe places for our flocks here, and cities for our little ones. 17 But we will be ready for battle and will go with the people of Israel until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones will live within the walls of the cities because of the people who live in the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until every one of the people of Israel has received his land. 19 For we will not have any land among them on the other side of the Jordan. Our land has come to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east." 20 So Moses said to them, "Do as you say. Get ready for war before the Lord. 21 All of you men of war cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven away those who fight against Him, 22 and has won the land in battle. Then after this you may return because you have done your duty to the Lord and to Israel. This land will be your land before the Lord. 23 But if you do not do as you say, you have sinned against the Lord. And for sure you will be punished for your sin. 24 Build cities for your little ones and places for your sheep. Then do what you have promised." 25 The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben said to Moses, "Your servants will do just as my lord says.
