Nu 32:1
32:1 Now the children of {a} 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 {b} Gilead, that, behold,
     the place [was] a place for cattle;

     (a) Reuben came from Leah, and Gad from Zilpah her
         handmaid.
     (b) Which was named for the heap of stones that Jacob made
         as a sign of the covenant between him and Laban in
         @Ge 31:47.

Nu 32:13
32:13 And 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 {c} evil in the sight of the
      LORD, was consumed.

      (c) Because they complained and would not believe their
          report, which told the truth concerning the land.

Nu 32:15
32:15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again
      leave them in the wilderness; and {d} ye shall destroy all
      this people.

      (d) By your occasion.

Nu 32:17
32:17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children
      of Israel, until we have brought them unto their {e}
      place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced
      cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

      (e) In the land of Canaan.

Nu 32:20
32:20 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye
      will go {f} armed before the LORD to war,

      (f) Before the Ark of the Lord.

Nu 32:21
32:21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,
      until he hath driven out his {g} enemies from before him,

      (g) That is, the inhabitants of the land.

Nu 32:22
32:22 And 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 {h} before
      the LORD.

      (h) The Lord will grant you this land which you request,
          @Jos 1:15.

Nu 32:23
32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against
      the LORD: and be sure your sin {i} will find you out.

      (i) You shall assuredly be punished for your sin.

Nu 32:28
32:28 So concerning them Moses {k} commanded Eleazar the priest,
      and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the
      tribes of the children of Israel:

      (k) Moses gave charge that his promise made to the
          Reubenites, and other, would be performed after his
          death so that they would not break theirs.

Nu 32:31
32:31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
      answered, saying, As the {l} LORD hath said unto thy
      servants, so will we do.

      (l) This is attributed to the Lord, which his messenger
          speaks.

Nu 32:33
32:33 And 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 {m} 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.

      (m) The Amorites dwelled on both sides of Jordan: but here
          he makes mention of them that dwelt on this side:
          @Jos 10:12 he speaks of them that inhabited beyond
          Jordan.

Nu 32:41
32:41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns
      thereof, and called them {n} Havothjair.

      (n) That is the villages of Jair.
