Numbers 32

 ¹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had much cattle, a very great multitude; and they saw the land of Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle.

 ²And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the assembly, saying,

 ³Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

 ⁴the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;

 ⁵and they said, If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession: bring us not over the Jordan.

 ⁶And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall *ye* abide here?

 ⁷And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them?

 ⁸Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land:

 ⁹they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, and discouraged the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land that Jehovah had given them.

 ¹⁰And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,

 ¹¹If the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob! for they have not wholly followed me;

 ¹²save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah.

 ¹³And Jehovah's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation was consumed that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

 ¹⁴And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel.

 ¹⁵If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

 ¹⁶And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;

 ¹⁷but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

 ¹⁸We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.

 ¹⁹For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward.

 ²⁰And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,

 ²¹and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him,

 ²²and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.

 ²³But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.

 ²⁴Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.

 ²⁵And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.

 ²⁶Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

 ²⁷but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.

 ²⁸So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.

 ²⁹And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

 ³⁰but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

 ³¹And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do.

 ³²We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side the Jordan shall be ours.

 ³³And Moses gave to them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and territories, the cities of the land round about.

 ³⁴And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

 ³⁵and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah,

 ³⁶and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds.

 ³⁷-- And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim,

 ³⁸and Nebo, and Baal-meon (of which the names were changed), and Sibmah; and they gave other names to the cities that they built.

 ³⁹-- And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and they dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.

 ⁴⁰And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

 ⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair.

 ⁴²And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.

 ⁵¹Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

 ⁵²then ye shall dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and ye shall destroy all their figured images, and all their molten images shall ye destroy, and all their high places shall ye lay waste;

 ⁵³and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein, for to you have I given the land to possess it.

 ⁵⁴And ye shall take for yourselves the land as an inheritance by lot according to your families: to the many ye shall increase their inheritance, and to the few thou shalt diminish their inheritance: where the lot falleth to him, there shall be each man's [inheritance]; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye take for yourselves the inheritance.

 ⁵⁵But if ye will not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, those that ye let remain of them shall be thorns in your eyes, and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land wherein ye dwell.

 ⁵⁶And it shall come to pass that I will do unto you as I thought to do unto them.

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof.

 ³Then your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside of Edom, and your southern border shall be from the end of the salt sea eastward;

 ⁴and your border shall turn from the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin, and shall end southward at Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-Addar, and pass on to Azmon.

 ⁵And the border shall turn from Azmon unto the torrent of Egypt, and shall end at the sea.

 ⁷And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;

 ⁸from mount Hor ye shall mark out the entrance to Hamath, and the end of the border shall be toward Zedad;

 ⁹and the border shall go to Ziphron, and shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border.

 ³⁰And going forth from thence they went through Galilee; and he would not that any one knew it;

 ³¹for he taught his disciples and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into men's hands, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, after three days he shall rise again.

 ³²But they understood not the saying, and feared to ask him.

 ³³And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he asked them, Of what were ye reasoning by the way?

 ³⁴And they remained silent, for by the way they had been reasoning with one another who [was] greatest.

 ³⁵And sitting down he called the twelve; and he says to them, If any one would be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.

 ³⁶And taking a little child he set it in their midst, and having taken it in his arms he said to them,

 ³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.

 ³⁸And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

 ³⁹But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able soon [after] to speak ill of me;

 ⁴⁰for he who is not against us is for us.

 ⁴¹For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in [my] name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

 ⁴²And whosoever shall be a snare to one of the little ones who believe [in me], it were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck, and he cast into the sea.

 ⁴³And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable;

 ⁴⁴[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

 ⁴⁵And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable;

 ⁴⁶[where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched].

 ⁴⁷And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire,

 ⁴⁸where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

 ⁴⁹For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

 ⁵⁰Salt [is] good, but if the salt is become saltless, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.
