9	For when they went up as far as the valley of Segola, and spied out the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.	For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the people of Israel from going into the land that the LORD had given them.

14	And, behold, you also are risen up in your father's stead, a generation of sinful men, to augment still the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel.	And behold, you have risen in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the LORD against Israel!	“And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the LORD even more angry with Israel.
15	For if you turn away from after the LORD, he will again make you wander in the wilderness; and you shall destroy all this people.

And our little ones shall live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.	But 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.
18	We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance;	We will not return to our homes until each of the people of Israel has gained his inheritance.	We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.
19	For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan or beyond; because we have already received our inheritance on this side of the Jordan eastward.	For 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.”	We 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.”

21	And will go all of you armed across the Jordan before the LORD, to war, until he has destroyed his enemies from before his presence,	and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him	and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven his enemies out before him—
22	And the land is subdued before the LORD; then after that you shall return and be guiltless before the LORD and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.	and 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.	then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free from your obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the LORD.
23	But if you will not do so, behold, you will he sinning against the LORD; and be sure your sins will overtake you.	But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.	“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.
24	Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep; and do that which you have promised.	Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”	Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

29	And Moses said to them, If the children of Reuben and the children of Gad will cross with you over the Jordan, every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;	And 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.	He 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.
30	But if they will not cross over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.	However, if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”	But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.”
31	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad answered, saying, As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
