Do not make us cross the Jordan.”Numbers 32:6But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?Numbers 32:7Why are you discouraging the Israelites from crossing into the land that the LORD has given them?Numbers 32:8This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to inspect the land.Numbers 32:9For when your fathers went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land that the LORD had given them.Numbers 32:10So the anger of the LORD was kindled that day, and He swore an oath, saying,Numbers 32:11‘Because they did not follow Me wholeheartedly, not one of the men twenty years of age or older who came out of Egypt will see the land that I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—Numbers 32:12not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun—because they did follow the LORD wholeheartedly.’Numbers 32:13The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation who had done evil in His sight was gone.Numbers 32:14Now behold, you, a brood of sinners, have risen up in place of your fathers to further stoke the burning anger of the LORD against Israel.Numbers 32:15For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.”Numbers 32:16Then the Gadites and Reubenites approached Moses and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones.Numbers 32:17But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our little ones will remain in the fortified cities for protection from the inhabitants of the land.Numbers 32:18We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has taken possession of his inheritance.Numbers 32:19Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”Numbers 32:20Moses replied, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for battle,Numbers 32:21and if every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the LORD, until He has driven His enemies out before Him,Numbers 32:22then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.Numbers 32:23But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.Numbers 32:24Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”Numbers 32:25The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.Numbers 32:26Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.Numbers 32:27But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”Numbers 32:28So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua son of Nun, and to the family leaders of the tribes of Israel.Numbers 32:29And Moses said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, with every man armed for battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.Numbers 32:30But if they do not arm themselves and go across with you, then they must accept their possession among you in the land of Canaan.”Numbers 36:1Now the family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, one of the clans of Joseph, approached Moses and the leaders who were the heads of the Israelite families and addressed them,Deuteronomy 3:13To the half-tribe of Manasseh I gave the rest of Gilead and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og.

And the LORD showed him the whole land—from Gilead as far as Dan,Joshua 17:1Now this was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn son, namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh and father of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because Machir was a man of war.Joshua 17:3But Zelophehad son of Hepher (the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh) had no sons but only daughters.

By daybreak, there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.2 Samuel 17:24Then David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.2 Samuel 17:26So the Israelites and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.2 Samuel 18:9Now Absalom was riding on his mule when he met the servants of David, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom’s head was caught fast in the tree.
