Reuben and Gad Appease Moses | 16Then they came up to him and said, "We would like to build pens here for our livestock and cities for our women and children. | 16Then they came near to him and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones, | 16Then they came near to him and said, "We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones; | 16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: | 16Then they approached him and said, "We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our dependents. |
| 17But we will arm ourselves for battle and go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them to their place. Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land. | 17but we will take up arms, ready to go before the people of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. And our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. | 17but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. | 17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land. | 17But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our dependents will remain in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. |
| 18We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance. | 18We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance. | 18"We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance. | 18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. | 18We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has taken possession of his inheritance. |
| 19We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan." | 19For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.” | 19"For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east." | 19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward. | 19Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance will be across the Jordan to the east." |

And this land will be your possession before the LORD. | 22and the land is subdued before the LORD; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. | 22and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the LORD and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the LORD. | 22And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. | 22and the land is subdued before the LORD--afterward you may return and be free from obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD. |
| 23"But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out. | 23But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out. | 23"But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out. | 23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. | 23But if you don't do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD; be sure your sin will catch up with you. |
| 24Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised." | 24Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.” | 24"Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and sheepfolds for your sheep, and do what you have promised." | 24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. | 24Build cities for your dependents and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised." |
| 25The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, "We your servants will do as our lord commands. | 25And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. | 25The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands. | 25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. | 25The Gadites and Reubenites answered Moses, "Your servants will do just as my lord commands. |
| 26Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead. | 26Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead, | 26"Our little ones, our wives, our livestock and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead; | 26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: | 26Our little children, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead, |
| 27But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the LORD, just as our lord says." | 27but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord orders.” | 27while your servants, everyone who is armed for war, will cross over in the presence of the LORD to battle, just as my lord says." | 27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith. | 27but your servants are equipped for war before the LORD and will go across to the battle as my lord orders." |
| 28Then Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes. | 28So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. | 28So Moses gave command 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 sons of Israel. | 28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: | 28So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes. |
| 29He said to them, "If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the LORD, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession. | 29And Moses said to them, “If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession. | 29Moses said to them, "If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, everyone who is armed for battle, will cross with you over the Jordan in the presence of the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession; | 29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession: | 29Moses told them, "If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, every man in battle formation before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession. |
| 30But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan." | 30However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.” | 30but if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan." | 30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. | 30But if they don't go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you." |
| 31The Gadites and Reubenites answered, "Your servants will do what the LORD has said. | 31And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, “What the LORD has said to your servants, we will do. | 31The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so we will do. | 31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. | 31The Gadites and Reubenites replied, "What the LORD has spoken to your servants is what we will do. |
| 32We will cross over before the LORD into Canaan armed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan." | 32We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.” | 32"We ourselves will cross over armed in the presence of the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us across the Jordan." | 32We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours. | 32We will cross over in battle formation before the LORD into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan." |
