24. Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
25. And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying, Thy slaves will do as my lord commands.
26. Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our beasts, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27. but thy slaves, each one armed for war, will pass before the Lord to battle, as our lord saith.
28. So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the princes of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
29. And Moses said unto them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass the Jordan with you, each one armed to battle, before the Lord, after the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
30. But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31. And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord has said unto thy slaves, so will we do.
32. We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan shall be ours.
33. Thus Moses gave unto the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and unto half the 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, with its cities and borders, even the cities of the country round about.
34. And the sons of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer
35. and Atroth-shophan and Jaazer and Jogbehah
36. and Bethnimrah and Bethharan, fenced cities, and also folds for sheep.
37. And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim
38. and Nebo and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Shibmah and gave other names unto the cities which they built.
