1르우벤 자손과 갓 자손은 심히 많은 가축 떼가 있었더라 그들이 야셀 땅과 길르앗 땅을 본즉 그 곳은 가축에 적당한 곳인지라 2갓 자손과 르우벤 자손이 와서 모세와 제사장 엘르아살과 회중 족장들에게 말하여 가로되 3아다롯과 디본과 야셀과 니므라와 헤스본과 엘르알레와 스밤과 느보와 브온 4곧 여호와께서 이스라엘 회중 앞에서 쳐서 멸하신 땅은 가축에 적당한 곳이요 당신의 종들에게는 가축이 있나이다 5또 가로되 우리가 만일 당신에게 은혜를 입었으면 이 땅을 당신의 종들에게 산업으로 주시고 우리로 요단을 건너지 않게 하소서 6모세가 갓 자손과 르우벤 자손에게 이르되 너희 형제들은 싸우러 가거늘 너희는 여기 앉았고자 하느냐 7너희가 어찌하여 이스라엘 자손으로 낙심케 하여서 여호와께서 그들에게 주신 땅으로 건너갈 수 없게 하려느냐 8너희 열조도 내가 가데스바네아에서 그 땅을 보라고 보내었을 때에 그리하였었나니 9그들이 에스골 골짜기에 올라가서 그 땅을 보고 이스라엘 자손으로 낙심케 하여서 여호와께서 그들에게 주신 땅으로 갈 수 없게 하였었느니라 10그때에 여호와께서 진노하사 맹세하여 가라사대 11애굽에서 나온 자들의 이십 세 이상으로는 한 사람도 내가 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱에게 맹세한 땅을 정녕히 보지 못하리니 이는 그들이 나를 온전히 순종치 아니하였음이니라 12다만 그나스 사람 여분네의 아들 갈렙과 눈의 아들 여호수아는 볼 것은 여호와를 온전히 순종하였음이니라 하시고 13여호와께서 이스라엘에게 진노하사 그들로 사십 년 동안 광야에 유리하게 하심으로 여호와의 목전에 악을 행한 그 세대가 필경은 다 소멸하였느니라 14보라 너희는 너희의 열조를 계대하여 일어난 죄인의 종류로서 이스라엘을 향하신 여호와의 노를 더욱 심하게 하는도다 15너희가 만일 돌이켜 여호와를 떠나면 여호와께서 또 이 백성을 광야에 버리시리니 그리하면 너희가 이 모든 백성을 멸망시키리라 16그들이 모세에게 가까이 나아와 가로되 우리가 이 곳에 우리 가축을 위하여 우리를 짓고 우리 유아들을 위하여 성읍을 건축하고 17이 땅 거민의 연고로 우리 유아들로 그 견고한 성읍에 거하게 한 후에 우리는 무장하고 이스라엘 자손을 그곳으로 인도하기까지 그들의 앞에 행하고 18이스라엘 자손이 각기 기업을 얻기까지 우리 집으로 돌아오지 아니하겠사오며 19우리는 요단 이편 곧 동편에서 산업을 얻었사오니 그들과 함께 요단 저편에서는 기업을 얻지 아니하겠나이다 20모세가 그들에게 이르되 너희가 만일 이 일을 행하여 무장하고 여호와 앞에서 가서 싸우되 21너희가 다 무장하고 여호와 앞에서 요단을 건너가서 여호와께서 그 원수를 자기 앞에서 쫓아내시고 22그 땅으로 여호와 앞에 복종케 하시기까지 싸우면 여호와의 앞에서나 이스라엘의 앞에서나 무죄히 돌아오겠고 이 땅은 여호와 앞에서 너희의 산업이 되리라마는 23너희가 만일 그같이 아니하면 여호와께 범죄함이니 너희 죄가 정녕 너희를 찾아낼줄 알라 24너희는 유아들을 위하여 성읍을 건축하고 양을 위하여 우리를 지으라 그리하고 너희 입에서 낸 대로 행하라 25갓 자손과 르우벤 자손이 모세에게 대답하여 가로되 우리 주의 명대로 종들이 행할 것이라 26우리의 어린 자와 아내와 양떼와 모든 가축은 이곳 길르앗 성읍 들에 두고 27우리 주의 말씀대로 종들은 무장하고 여호와 앞에서 다 건너가서 싸우리이다 28이에 모세가 그들에게 대하여 제사장 엘르아살과 눈의 아들 여호수아와 이스라엘 자손 지파의 두령들에게 명하니라 29모세가 그들에게 이르되 갓 자손과 르우벤 자손이 만일 각기 무장하고 너희와 함께 요단을 건너가서 여호와 앞에서 싸워서 그 땅이 너희 앞에 항복하기에 이르거든 길르앗 땅을 그들에게 산업으로 줄 것이니라 30그러나 그들이 만일 너희와 함께 무장하고 건너지 아니하거든 가나안 땅에서 너희 중에 산업을 줄 것이니라 31갓 자손과 르우벤 자손이 대답하여 가로되 여호와께서 당신의 종들에게 명하신 대로 우리가 행할 것이라 32우리가 무장하고 여호와 앞에서 가나안 땅에 건너가서 요단 이편으로 우리의 산업이 되게 하리이다 33모세가 갓 자손과 르우벤 자손과 요셉의 아들 므낫세 반 지파에게 아모리인의 왕 시혼의 국토와 바산 왕 옥의 국토를 주되 곧 그 나라와 그 경내 성읍들과 그 성읍들의 사면 땅을 그들에게 주매 34갓 자손은 디본과 아다롯과 아로엘과 35아다롯소반과 야셀과 욕브하와 36벧니므라와 벧하란들의 견고한 성읍을 건축하였고 또 양을 위하여 우리를 지었으며 37르우벤 자손은 헤스본과 엘르알레와 기랴다임과 38느보와 바알므온들을 건축하고 그 이름을 고쳤고 또 십마를 건축하고 건축한 성읍들에 새 이름을 주었고 39므낫세의 아들 마길의 자손은 가서 길르앗을 쳐서 취하고 거기 있는 아모리인을 쫓아내매 40모세가 길르앗을 므낫세의 아들 마길에게 주매 그가 거기 거하였고 41므낫세의 아들 야일은 가서 그 촌락들을 취하고 하봇야일이라 칭하였으며 42노바는 가서 그낫과 그 향촌을 취하고 자기 이름을 따라서 노바라 칭하였더라

1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. When they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place was a place for livestock; 2the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying, 3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.” 5They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.” 6Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here? 7Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Yahweh has given them? 8Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land. 9For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. 10Yahweh’s anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying, 11‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me, 12except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed Yahweh completely.’ 13Yahweh’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of Yahweh, was consumed. 14“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of Yahweh toward Israel. 15For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all of these people.” 16They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones; 17but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have each inherited their inheritance. 19For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.” 20Moses said to them, “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war, 21and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him, 22and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh. 23“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh; and be sure your sin will find you out. 24Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.” 25The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead; 27but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, as my lord says.” 28So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel. 29Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle, before Yahweh, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; 30but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” 31The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As Yahweh has said to your servants, so will we do. 32We will pass over armed before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.” 33Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land. 34The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35Atrothshophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep. 37The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built. 39The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein. 40Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein. 41Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its towns, and called them Havvoth Jair. 42Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

1De kinderen van Ruben nu hadden veel vee, en de kinderen van Gad hadden machtig veel; en zij bezagen het land Jaezer, en het land van Gilead, en ziet, deze plaats was een plaats voor vee. 2Zo kwamen de kinderen van Gad en de kinderen van Ruben, en spraken tot Mozes, en tot Eleazar, den priester, en tot de oversten der vergadering, zeggende: 3Ataroth, en Dibon, en Jaezer, en Nimra, en Hesbon, en Eleale, en Schebam, en Nebo, en Behon; 4Dit land, hetwelk de HEERE voor het aangezicht der vergadering van Israel geslagen heeft, is een land voor vee; en uw knechten hebben vee. 5Voorts zeiden zij: Indien wij genade in uw ogen gevonden hebben, dat ditzelve land aan uw knechten gegeven worde tot een bezitting; en doe ons niet trekken over de Jordaan. 6Maar Mozes zeide tot de kinderen van Gad en tot de kinderen van Ruben: Zullen uw broeders ten strijde gaan, en zult gijlieden hier blijven? 7Waarom toch zult gij het hart der kinderen Israels breken, dat zij niet overtrekken naar het land, dat de HEERE hun gegeven heeft? 8Zo deden uw vaders, als ik hen van Kades-Barnea zond, om dit land te bezien. 9Als zij opgekomen waren tot aan het dal Eskol, en dit land bezagen, zo braken zij het hart der kinderen Israels, dat zij niet gingen naar het land, dat de HEERE hun gegeven had. 10Toen ontstak de toorn des HEEREN te dien dage, en Hij zwoer, zeggende: 11Indien deze mannen, die uit Egypte opgetogen zijn, van twintig jaren oud en daarboven, het land zullen zien, dat Ik Abraham, Izak en Jakob gezworen heb! Want zij hebben niet volhard Mij na te volgen; 12Behalve Kaleb, de zoon van Jefunne, den Keniziet, en Jozua, de zoon van Nun; want zij hebben volhard den HEERE na te volgen. 13Alzo ontstak des HEEREN toorn tegen Israel, en Hij deed hen omzwerven in de woestijn, veertig jaren, totdat verteerd was het ganse geslacht, hetwelk gedaan had, wat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN. 14En ziet, gijlieden zijt opgestaan in stede van uw vaderen, een menigte van zondige mensen, om de hittigheid van des HEEREN toorn tegen Israel te vermeerderen. 15Wanneer gij van achter Hem u zult afkeren, zo zal Hij wijders voortvaren het te laten in de woestijn; en gij zult al dit volk verderven. 16Toen traden zij toe tot hem, en zeiden: Wij zullen hier schaapskooien bouwen voor ons vee, en steden voor onze kinderen. 17Maar wij zelven zullen ons toerusten, haastende voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels, totdat wij hen aan hun plaats zullen gebracht hebben; en onze kinderen zullen blijven in de vaste steden, vanwege de inwoners des lands. 18Wij zullen niet wederkeren tot onze huizen, totdat zich de kinderen Israels tot erfelijke bezitters zullen gesteld hebben, een ieder van zijn erfenis. 19Want wij zullen met hen niet erven aan gene zijde van de Jordaan, en verder heen, als onze erfenis ons toegekomen zal zijn aan deze zijde van de Jordaan, tegen den opgang. 20Toen zeide Mozes tot hen: Indien gij deze zaak doen zult, indien gij u voor het aangezicht des HEEREN zult toerusten ten strijde, 21En een ieder van u, die toegerust is, over de Jordaan zal trekken voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, totdat Hij Zijn vijanden voor Zijn aangezicht uit de bezitting zal verdreven hebben. 22En het land voor het aangezicht des HEEREN ten ondergebracht zij; zo zult gij daarna wederkeren, en onschuldig zijn voor den HEERE en voor Israel, en dit land zal u ter bezitting zijn voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 23Indien gij daarentegen alzo niet zult doen, ziet, zo hebt gij tegen den HEERE gezondigd; doch gij zult uw zonde gewaar worden, als zij u vinden zal! 24Bouwt uw steden voor uw kinderen, en kooien voor uw schapen; en doet, wat uit uw mond uitgegaan is. 25Toen spraken de kinderen van Gad en de kinderen van Ruben tot Mozes, zeggende: Uw knechten zullen doen, gelijk als mijn heer gebiedt. 26Onze kinderen, onze vrouwen, onze have en al onze beesten zullen aldaar zijn in de steden van Gilead; 27Maar uw knechten zullen overtrekken, al wie ten heire toegerust is, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN tot den strijd, gelijk als mijn heer gesproken heeft. 28Toen gebood Mozes, hunnenthalve, den priester Eleazar, en Jozua, den zoon van Nun, en den hoofden der vaderen van de stammen der kinderen Israels; 29En Mozes zeide tot hen: Indien de kinderen van Gad, en de kinderen van Ruben, met ulieden over de Jordaan zullen trekken, een ieder, die toegerust is ten oorlog, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, als het land voor uw aangezicht zal ten ondergebracht zijn; zo zult gij hun het land Gilead ter bezitting geven. 30Maar indien zij niet toegerust met u zullen overtrekken, zo zullen zij tot bezitters gesteld worden in het midden van ulieden in het land Kanaan. 31En de kinderen van Gad en de kinderen van Ruben antwoordden, zeggende: Wat de HEERE tot uw knechten gesproken heeft, zullen wij alzo doen. 32Wij zullen toegerust overtrekken voor het aangezicht des HEEREN naar het land Kanaan; en de bezitting onzer erfenis zullen wij hebben aan deze zijde van de Jordaan. 33Alzo gaf Mozes hunlieden, den kinderen van Gad, en de kinderen van Ruben, en den halven stam van Manasse, den zoon van Jozef, het koninkrijk van Sihon, koning der Amorieten, en het koninkrijk van Og, koning van Bazan; het land met de steden van hetzelve in de landpalen, de steden des lands rondom. 34En de kinderen van Gad bouwden Dibon, en Ataroth, en Aroer, 35En Atroth-Sofan, en Jaezer, en Jogbeha, 36En Beth-Nimra, en Beth-Haran, vaste steden en schaapskooien. 37En de kinderen van Ruben bouwden Hezbon, en Eleale, en Kirjathaim, 38En Nebo, en Baal-Meon, veranderd zijnde van naam, en Sibma; en zij noemden de namen der steden, die zij bouwden, met andere namen. 39En de kinderen van Machir, den zoon van Manasse, gingen naar Gilead, en namen dat in, en zij verdreven de Amorieten, die daarin waren, uit de bezitting. 40Zo gaf Mozes Gilead aan Machir, den zoon van Manasse; en hij woonde daarin. 41Jair nu, de zoon van Manasse, ging heen en nam hunlieder dorpen in, en hij noemde die Havvoth-Jair. 42En Nobah ging heen, en nam Kenath in, met haar onderhorige plaatsen, en noemde ze Nobah naar zijn naam.
