Numbers 32:27-29

International Standard Version

²⁷ but every soldier that we’ve equipped for battle will cross the Jordan River^[a] in the presence of the Lord, as our master has spoken.”

²⁸ So Moses instructed Eleazar the priest and Nun’s son Joshua, and the officers of the ancestral tribes of the Israelis, ²⁹ telling them, “If the descendants of Gad and descendants of Reuben cross over the Jordan River with you, that is, all of their soldiers who’ve been equipped for battle in the Lord’s presence, so that the land is subjugated right before your eyes, then you are to give them the land of Gilead as their possession.
