NUMBERS 32

THE TRANSJORDAN TRIBES

Reuben and Gad ask to settle in Gilead. Moses originally says no, but they promise to still fight for the Promised Land with the rest of the Israelites. They will be faithful to see God’s promise fulfilled, but ultimately want to return to fertile land and raise their livestock in Gilead.
