For we will not inherit with them on yonder side, Jordan forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side, Jordan eastward." And Moses said unto them, "If ye will do this thing, that ye will go all harnessed before the LORD to war, and will go all of you in harness over Jordan before the LORD, until he have cast out his enemies before him, and until the land be subdued before the LORD, then ye shall return and be without sin against the LORD and against Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. But and if ye will not do so, behold, ye sin against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. Build your cities for your children and folds for your sheep, and see ye do that ye have spoken." And the Children of Gad and of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, "Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. Our children, our wives, substance, and all our cattle, shall remain here in the cities of Gilead. But we thy servants will go all harnessed for the war unto battle before the LORD, as my lord hath said."

But and if they will not go over with you in harness, then they shall have their possessions among you in the land of Canaan." And the children of Gad and Ruben answered, saying, "That which the LORD hath said unto thy servants we will do. We will go harnessed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall be on this side the Jordan."

And so Joshua blessed them and sent them away. And they went unto their tents. Unto the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses gave possession in Bashan: and unto the other half thereof gave Joshua with their brethren on this side Jordan westward.
