1The crew from Reuben and Gad had mad cattle, and when they peeped Jazer and Gilead, they were like, "This place is lit for cows."

2So, the Gad and Reuben squad rolled up to Moses, Eleazar, and the leaders, like, "Yo, we gotta talk."

3Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, all the spots you need to know.

4Even the land that God took down for Israel is solid for cattle, and we got cows, no cap.

5So they were like, "If we’re cool in your eyes, let us have this land for our peeps and skip the Jordan trip."

6Moses was like, "So, your bros gonna go to war while you chill here?"

7And why you gotta bring down the vibes for Israel, making them not wanna enter the land God gave them?

8Your pops did the same when I sent them from Kadesh to check out the land.

9When they hit up the valley of Eshcol and scoped the land, they totally discouraged Israel from going in.

10And God got mad right then and there, swearing, "Periodt."

11For real, none of the peeps who dipped from Egypt, 20 and up, are seeing the promised land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; they didn’t follow me, no cap.

12Except for Caleb and Joshua; those homies totally vibed with the Lord.

13God was mad at Israel, making them wander in the desert for 40 years until that whole shady generation was gone.

14Look, you guys are just like your dads, more sinful peeps, adding to God’s anger towards Israel.

15If you dip on Him, He’ll leave y’all in the wilderness again, and that’ll mess up the whole squad.

16They rolled up to Moses and said, “We’ll build some sheep pens for our cows and cities for the kiddos.”

17But we’ll go in front, ready to fight for Israel, until they’re all set, and our kids will chill in the safe cities 'cause of the locals.

18We ain’t going back home until every Israelite gets their piece of the land.

19We’re not getting our share on the other side of the Jordan; our inheritance is over here, east side.

20Moses told them, “If you pull this off, if you’re down to fight for the Lord,”

21Y’all gotta roll out armed across the Jordan for the Lord until He clears out the enemies, no cap.

22Once the land is chill with the Lord, you can bounce back guilt-free, and this land will be yours, periodt.

23But if you don’t do this, just know you’ve sinned against the Lord: your wrongs will catch up to you, fr.

24Build cities for your kiddos and pens for your sheep; keep it real with what you said.

25The Gad and Reuben crew told Moses, "We got you, we’ll do what you say, no doubt."

26Our kids, wives, flocks, and all our cattle will chill in the cities of Gilead.

27But we’re rolling out, every dude ready for battle, before the Lord, just like you said.

28So Moses hit up Eleazar the priest, Joshua, and the main fams of Israel’s tribes about this.

29Moses said, "If Gad and Reuben roll with you across the Jordan, armed for battle, and the land is yours; then Gilead is theirs."

30But if they don’t roll out armed, they can have their stuff in Canaan with you.

31The kids of Gad and Reuben were like, "For real, we got you. We’ll do what the Lord told us, no cap."

32We’re gonna roll out armed before the Lord into Canaan, so we can claim our spot on this side of the Jordan.

33Moses hooked up Gad, Reuben, and half of Manasseh with the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, plus all the cities around.

34The kids of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, and Aroer, straight up.

35And they also made Atroth, Shophan, Jaazer, and Jogbehah, no cap.

36They built fenced cities like Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran, plus some sick sheep pens.

37The kids of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, fr.

38And they renamed Nebo, Baal-meon, and Shibmah, giving new names to the cities they built, periodt.

39The fam of Machir, son of Manasseh, rolled into Gilead, took it, and kicked the Amorites out.

40Moses gave Gilead to Machir, and he was chilling there.

41So Jair, Manasseh's kid, rolled up and snagged the little towns, naming them Havoth–jair.

42Nobah swooped in, took Kenath and the nearby spots, and named it Nobah, keeping it real with his own name.

1Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

2The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

3Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4Even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

5Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

6And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?

8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh–barnea to see the land.

9For when they went up unto 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 the Lord had given them.

10And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.

13And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.

14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.

15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

16And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

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.

18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

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.

20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,

21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

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.

23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

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:

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:

30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

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.

33And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children 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 the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

34And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

36And Beth–nimrah, and Beth–haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

38And Nebo, and Baal–meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth–jair.

42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
