Manasseh » Tribe of » The eastern half assists in the conquest of the country west of the jordan river
Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the hall tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, - as Moses had spoken unto them: about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.
So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying: Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, - Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land. Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, - but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, - all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them; read more.
until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, - then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, - then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.
The tribe of Reuben » Obtained inheritance east of jordan on condition of helping to conquer canaan
Now, much cattle, had come into the possession of the sons of Reuben and of the sons of Gad, an exceeding mighty number. And when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, lo! the place, was a place for cattle. So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came in, - and spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of assembly, saying, As touching Atroth and Dibon, and Jazer and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, - and Sebam and Nebo, and Beon- read more.
the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is, - and, thy servants, have cattle. And they said - If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land he given unto thy servants, for a possession, - do not take us over the Jordan. Then said Moses unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben, - Shall, your brethren, go into the war, and ye, settle down here? Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them? Thus, did your fathers, - when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea, to view the land, and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them. Then was the anger of Yahweh kindled on that day, - and he aware, saying: Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully; save Caleb son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua, son of Nun, - for they followed after Yahweh, fully. So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he made them wander in the desert, forty years, - until all the generation who had done the evil in the eyes of Yahweh, had wasted away! Lo! therefore, ye have arisen in the room of your fathers, brood of sinful men, - to heap up yet more upon the heat of the anger of Yahweh, towards Israel. If ye do turn away from following him, then will he yet again leave them behind in the desert, - so shall ye bring destruction upon all this people. Then came they near unto him, and said, Folds, for flocks, would we build for our cattle, here, - and cities for our little ones; but, we, would arm ourselves promptly, before the sons of Israel, until that we have brought them into their place, - so should our little ones remain in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. We would not return unto our houses, - until the sons of Israel have possessed themselves each man, of his inheritance. For we would not inherit with them, over the Jordan, and onwards, - because our inheritance hath come unto us on this side the Jordan towards sunrise. And Moses said unto them, If ye will indeed do this thing, - if ye will arm yourselves, before Yahweh, for the war; and every armed man of you pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, - until he hath dispossessed his enemies, from before him; and the land be subdued before Yahweh then afterwards, shall ye return, and shall be acquitted by Yahweh and by Israel, - and this land shall be yours for a possession before Yahweh. But, if ye shall not do this, lo! ye will have sinned against Yahweh, - and take note of your sin, that it will find you out. Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, - and then that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do. Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben unto Moses, saying, - thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command. Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, shall remain there in the cities of Gilead; and thy servants, will pass over every one armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, - as, my lord is speaking. So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the headset the fathers of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; and Moses said unto them - If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession. But, if they will not pass over armed, with you, then shall they accept a possession in your midst, in the land of Canaan. Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying, - That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do. We, will pass over armed, before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, - then shall be ours, the possession of our inheritance across the Jordan. So then Moses gave unto them even unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land by her cities with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about.
the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is, - and, thy servants, have cattle. And they said - If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land he given unto thy servants, for a possession, - do not take us over the Jordan. Then said Moses unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben, - Shall, your brethren, go into the war, and ye, settle down here? Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them? Thus, did your fathers, - when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea, to view the land, and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them. Then was the anger of Yahweh kindled on that day, - and he aware, saying: Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully; save Caleb son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua, son of Nun, - for they followed after Yahweh, fully. So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he made them wander in the desert, forty years, - until all the generation who had done the evil in the eyes of Yahweh, had wasted away! Lo! therefore, ye have arisen in the room of your fathers, brood of sinful men, - to heap up yet more upon the heat of the anger of Yahweh, towards Israel. If ye do turn away from following him, then will he yet again leave them behind in the desert, - so shall ye bring destruction upon all this people. Then came they near unto him, and said, Folds, for flocks, would we build for our cattle, here, - and cities for our little ones; but, we, would arm ourselves promptly, before the sons of Israel, until that we have brought them into their place, - so should our little ones remain in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. We would not return unto our houses, - until the sons of Israel have possessed themselves each man, of his inheritance. For we would not inherit with them, over the Jordan, and onwards, - because our inheritance hath come unto us on this side the Jordan towards sunrise. And Moses said unto them, If ye will indeed do this thing, - if ye will arm yourselves, before Yahweh, for the war; and every armed man of you pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, - until he hath dispossessed his enemies, from before him; and the land be subdued before Yahweh then afterwards, shall ye return, and shall be acquitted by Yahweh and by Israel, - and this land shall be yours for a possession before Yahweh. But, if ye shall not do this, lo! ye will have sinned against Yahweh, - and take note of your sin, that it will find you out. Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, - and then that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do. Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben unto Moses, saying, - thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command. Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, shall remain there in the cities of Gilead; and thy servants, will pass over every one armed for war, before Yahweh to battle, - as, my lord is speaking. So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the headset the fathers of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; and Moses said unto them - If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession. But, if they will not pass over armed, with you, then shall they accept a possession in your midst, in the land of Canaan. Then responded the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, saying, - That which Yahweh had spoken unto thy servants, so, will we do. We, will pass over armed, before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, - then shall be ours, the possession of our inheritance across the Jordan. So then Moses gave unto them even unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben and unto the half tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of sihon, king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og, the king of Bashan, the land by her cities with boundaries, even the cities of the land round about.
So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
Reubenites » Have their inheritance east of the jordan river
For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, - and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.
Then turned we and went up, the way of Bashan; and Og king of Bashan, came out to meet us, he, and all his people, to give battle at Edrei. And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, - so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon. Then did Yahweh our God deliver into our hand, Og also, king of Bashan and all his people, - so we smote him until there was not left remaining to him a survivor. read more.
And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, - sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these, were fortified cities each with a high wall, folding gates and a bar, - besides country towns exceeding many. And we devoted them to destruction, doing unto them as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, - devoting to destruction every city of males, the women, and the little ones. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, made we our prey. Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon. Sidonians, call Hermon Sirion, - but, the Amorites, call it Senir. All the cities of the table-land, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, - unto Salecah, and Edrei, - cities of the kingdom of Og, in Bashan. For, only Og, king of Bashan was left remaining of the remnant of the giants, lo! his bedstead, was a bedstead of iron, is not, the same, in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits, the length thereof and four cubits, the breadth thereof, by the fore-arm of a man. And this land, took we in possession at that time, - from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites; but the remainder of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - all the region of the Argob with all Bashan. The same, is called, A land of giants. Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, - and called them after his own name The Bashan of Havvoth-jair unto this day. And, unto Machir, gave I Gilead; And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, gave I - from Gilead even as far as the ravine of Arnon, the middle of the ravine and boundary, - even as far as the Jabbok ravine, the boundary of the sons Ammon; the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, - from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east. So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, - sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. All these, were fortified cities each with a high wall, folding gates and a bar, - besides country towns exceeding many. And we devoted them to destruction, doing unto them as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, - devoting to destruction every city of males, the women, and the little ones. But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, made we our prey. Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon. Sidonians, call Hermon Sirion, - but, the Amorites, call it Senir. All the cities of the table-land, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, - unto Salecah, and Edrei, - cities of the kingdom of Og, in Bashan. For, only Og, king of Bashan was left remaining of the remnant of the giants, lo! his bedstead, was a bedstead of iron, is not, the same, in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits, the length thereof and four cubits, the breadth thereof, by the fore-arm of a man. And this land, took we in possession at that time, - from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites; but the remainder of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - all the region of the Argob with all Bashan. The same, is called, A land of giants. Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, - and called them after his own name The Bashan of Havvoth-jair unto this day. And, unto Machir, gave I Gilead; And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, gave I - from Gilead even as far as the ravine of Arnon, the middle of the ravine and boundary, - even as far as the Jabbok ravine, the boundary of the sons Ammon; the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, - from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east. So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
Thus then Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families; and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba; Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, - Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; read more.
and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath; and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale; and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, - whom Moses smote - with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land; Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain. And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

The tribes of israel » Reuben, gad and half manasseh » Were required to assist in subduing canaan
So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
Then said Moses unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Reuben, - Shall, your brethren, go into the war, and ye, settle down here? Wherefore, then, should ye dissuade the heart of the sons of Israel, from passing over into the land which Yahweh hath given to them? Thus, did your fathers, - when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea, to view the land, read more.
and they went up as far as the ravine of Eschol, and viewed the land, and then dissuaded the heart of the sons of Israel from entering into the land, which Yahweh had given them. Then was the anger of Yahweh kindled on that day, - and he aware, saying: Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upwards, shall see the soil, which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, because they have not followed after me fully; save Caleb son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, and Joshua, son of Nun, - for they followed after Yahweh, fully. So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, and he made them wander in the desert, forty years, - until all the generation who had done the evil in the eyes of Yahweh, had wasted away! Lo! therefore, ye have arisen in the room of your fathers, brood of sinful men, - to heap up yet more upon the heat of the anger of Yahweh, towards Israel. If ye do turn away from following him, then will he yet again leave them behind in the desert, - so shall ye bring destruction upon all this people.

But, if ye shall not do this, lo! ye will have sinned against Yahweh, - and take note of your sin, that it will find you out. Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, - and then that which hath gone forth from your mouth, ye shall do. Then spake the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben unto Moses, saying, - thy servants, will do, as, my lord, is giving command.

So Moses gave command concerning them, unto Eleazar the priest and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the headset the fathers of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; and Moses said unto them - If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession.
