And when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, lo! the place, was a place for cattle. 2 So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came in, - and spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of assembly, saying, 3 As touching Atroth and Dibon, and Jazer and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, - and Sebam and Nebo, and Beon- 4 the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is, - and, thy servants, have cattle. 5 And they said - If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land he given unto thy servants, for a possession, - do not take us over the Jordan. 6 Then said Moses unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben, - Shall, your brethren, go into the war, and ye, settle down here? 7 Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them? 8 Thus, did your fathers, - when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea, to view the land, 9 and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them. 10 Then was the anger of Yahweh kindled on that day, - and he aware, saying:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upwards,.... See Numbers 14:28.

shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; the land of Canaan, which at various times he sware to give to them, and to their posterity:

because they have not wholly followed me; the laws which he prescribed them, the directions he gave them, and particularly the orders they had to go up and possess the land at once, Deuteronomy 1:21.
