18. We will not return to our homes until the Israelites have inherited every man his inheritance.
19. For we will not inherit with them on the [west] side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.
20. Moses replied, If you will do as you say, going armed before the Lord to war,
21. And every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven out His enemies before Him
22. And the land is subdued before the Lord, then afterward you shall return and be guiltless [in this matter] before the Lord and before Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.
23. But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24. Build settlements for your little ones, and folds for your sheep, and do that of which you have spoken.
25. And the sons of Gad and of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26. Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle shall be there in the cities of Gilead.
