Números 32
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
As tribos ao leste do rio Jordão
32 Os descendentes de Rúben e Gade tinham muito gado e ao ver a terra de Jazer e a terra de Gileade, perceberam que era um bom lugar para a criação do gado. 2 Portanto foram e disseram a Moisés, a Eleazar, o sacerdote, e aos chefes da comunidade:
3 —A região ao redor de Atarote, Dibom, Jazer, Ninra, Hesbom, Eleale, Sebã[a], Nebo e Beom, 4 que o SENHOR conquistou para o povo de Israel, é uma terra boa para a pecuária e o que nós, os seus servos, temos é exatamente gado. 5 Se você tem uma boa opinião de nós, os seus servos, nos dê essa terra, e não nos faça atravessar o rio Jordão.
6 Moisés disse aos de Gade e Rúben:
—Pois então os seus irmãos devem ir para a batalha enquanto vocês ficam aqui? 7 Por que tentam desanimar os israelitas para que não passem para a terra que o SENHOR deu a eles? 8 Isso foi a mesma coisa que fizeram os seus pais quando os mandei desde Cades-Barneia para explorar a terra. 9 Foram até o vale de Escol e exploraram a terra, mas eles desanimaram o povo de Israel para que não entrasse na terra que o SENHOR lhes deu. 10 Nesse dia o SENHOR irritou-se muito e jurou: 11 “Nenhum dos que vieram do Egito, de vinte anos de idade para cima, verá a terra que prometi a Abraão, Isaque e Jacó, pois eles não me seguiram fielmente; 12 a não ser Calebe, filho de Jefoné, e Josué, filho de Num. Eles, sim, seguiram o SENHOR fielmente”. 13 O SENHOR irritou-se com Israel e fez com que eles vagassem pelo deserto durante quarenta anos, até morrer toda aquela geração que fez com que o SENHOR se irritasse. 14 Agora até vocês, pecadores, tomaram o lugar dos seus pais para aumentar ainda mais a ira do SENHOR contra Israel. 15 Se vocês estão em contra dele, então ele os deixará ainda mais tempo no deserto e vocês causarão a destruição de todo este povo.
16 Os de Rúben e Gade se aproximaram a Moisés e disseram:
—Deixe-nos construir aqui currais para nosso gado e edificar cidades para as nossas famílias. 17 Depois tomaremos as armas para ir na frente dos israelitas até que os levemos ao seu lugar. Enquanto isso as nossas famílias morarão em cidades amuralhadas, a salvo das pessoas que habitam nesta terra. 18 Nós não voltaremos aos nossos lares até que todos os israelitas tomem possessão da sua herança. 19 Não pediremos que nos seja dado território junto com eles no outro lado do rio Jordão, nem mais além, porque já recebemos a nossa herança, ao leste do Jordão.
20 Moisés disse a eles:
—Nesse caso, se estão dispostos a cumprir a sua palavra, tomem as armas para ir para a batalha sob as ordens do SENHOR. 21 Que todos os seus combatentes atravessem o Jordão, sob as ordens do SENHOR, até que ele expulse a todos os seus inimigos. 22 Quando vocês tomarem possessão da terra diante do SENHOR, então poderão voltar aos seus lares porque o seu serviço para com o SENHOR e Israel terá terminado. Este território será a sua propriedade com a aprovação do SENHOR. 23 Se vocês não cumprirem com tudo isso, então estarão pecando contra o SENHOR e tenham a plena certeza que serão castigados pelo seu pecado. 24 Construam, pois, cidades para as suas famílias e currais para o seu gado, mas cumpram com tudo o que disseram.
25 Os de Gade e Rúben disseram a Moisés:
—Sim, senhor. Faremos assim como você manda. 26 Nossos filhos, mulheres, gado e todos nossos outros animais ficarão aqui, nas cidades de Gileade. 27 Nós, os seus servos, atravessaremos o Jordão, armados para a batalha, sob as ordens do SENHOR, assim como você disse.
28 Depois Moisés deu estas ordens ao sacerdote Eleazar, a Josué, filho de Num e aos chefes das tribos israelitas, a respeito dos de Gade e Rúben. 29 Moisés disse:
—Se os de Gade e Rúben atravessarem o Jordão com vocês e irem para a batalha sob as ordens do SENHOR, e conquistarem esse território, então deverão dar a eles a terra de Gileade, 30 mas se os combatentes deles não atravessarem com vocês para a batalha, então deverão dar a eles um território dentre vocês na terra de Canaã.
31 Os de Rúben e Gade responderam:
—Nós, os seus servos, faremos assim como o SENHOR ordenou. 32 Atravessaremos armados, sob as ordens do SENHOR, para a terra de Canaã, para a batalha, mas a nossa herança estará ao leste do Jordão.
33 Então Moisés entregou o reino de Seom, rei dos amorreus, e o reino do rei Ogue, de Basã, às tribos de Gade e Rúben; enquanto que à metade da tribo de Manassés, filho de José, deu a terra com as suas cidades e a região em volta delas. 34 Os homens de Gade reconstruíram as cidades de Dibom, Atarote, Aroer, 35 Atarote-Sofã, Jazar, Jogbeá, 36 Bete-Ninra e Bete-Harã. As fortificaram e construíram também currais para o seu gado. 37 Os de Rúben construíram as cidades de Hesbom, Eleale, Quiriataim, 38 Nebo, Baal-Meom (mudando alguns nomes) e Sibma. Eles colocaram nomes novos às cidades que reconstruíram.
39 Os descendentes de Maquir, filho de Manassés, foram a Gileade, a conquistaram e expulsaram a todos os amorreus que moravam ali. 40 Moisés deu Gileade aos de Maquir, filho de Manassés, e eles moraram ali. 41 Jair, filho de Manassés, conquistou os povoados dos amorreus e os chamou “povoados de Jair”. 42 Noba conquistou Quenate e os povos próximos, e deu seu nome a essa região, Noba.

Transjordan Settlements
32 The Reubenites and Gadites had a very large number of livestock. When they surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, they saw that the region was a good one for livestock. 2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community and said: 3 “The territory of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam,[a] Nebo, and Beon, 4 which the Lord struck down(A) before the community of Israel, is good land for livestock, and your servants own livestock.” 5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don’t make us cross the Jordan.”
6 But Moses asked the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your brothers go to war while you stay here? 7 Why are you discouraging[b] the Israelites from crossing into the land the Lord has given them? 8 That’s what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.(B) 9 After they went up as far as Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. 10 So the Lord’s anger burned that day, and He swore an oath: 11 ‘Because they did not follow Me completely,(C) none of the men 20 years old or more who came up from Egypt will see the land I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob— 12 none except Caleb(D) son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua(E) son of Nun, because they did follow the Lord completely.’ 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness 40 years until the whole generation that had done what was evil in the Lord’s sight was gone. 14 And here you, a brood of sinners, stand in your fathers’ place adding even more to the Lord’s burning anger against Israel. 15 If you turn back from following Him, He will once again leave this people in the wilderness, and you will destroy all of them.”
16 Then they approached him and said, “We want to build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our dependents. 17 But we will arm ourselves and be ready to go ahead of the Israelites until we have brought them into their place. Meanwhile, our dependents will remain in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has taken possession of his inheritance. 19 Yet we will not have an inheritance with them across the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance will be across the Jordan to the east.”
20 Moses replied to them, “If you do this—if you arm yourselves for battle before the Lord, 21 and every one of your armed men crosses the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven His enemies from His presence, 22 and the land is subdued before the Lord—afterward you may return and be free from obligation to the Lord and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the Lord. 23 But if you don’t do this, you will certainly sin against the Lord; be sure your sin will catch up with you. 24 Build cities for your dependents and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”(F)
25 The Gadites and Reubenites answered Moses, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands. 26 Our little children, wives, livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead, 27 but your servants are equipped for war before the Lord and will go across to the battle as my lord orders.”
28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes. 29 Moses told them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites cross the Jordan with you, every man in battle formation before the Lord, and the land is subdued before you, you are to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.(G) 30 But if they don’t go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”
31 The Gadites and Reubenites replied, “What the Lord has spoken to your servants is what we will do. 32 We will cross over in battle formation before the Lord into the land of Canaan, but we will keep our hereditary possession across the Jordan.”
33 So Moses gave them—the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph—the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land including its cities with the territories surrounding them. 34 The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer, 35 Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, 36 Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran(H) as fortified cities, and built sheepfolds. 37 The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim, 38 as well as Nebo and Baal-meon (whose names were changed), and Sibmah. They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Machir(I) son of Manasseh went to Gilead, captured it, and drove out the Amorites who were there. 40 So Moses gave Gilead to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh, and they settled in it. 41 Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, went and captured their villages, which he renamed Jair’s Villages.[c](J) 42 Nobah went and captured Kenath with its villages and called it Nobah after his own name.

The Transjordan Tribes
32 The Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks,(A) saw that the lands of Jazer(B) and Gilead(C) were suitable for livestock.(D) 2 So they came to Moses and Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community,(E) and said, 3 “Ataroth,(F) Dibon,(G) Jazer,(H) Nimrah,(I) Heshbon,(J) Elealeh,(K) Sebam,(L) Nebo(M) and Beon(N)— 4 the land the Lord subdued(O) before the people of Israel—are suitable for livestock,(P) and your servants have livestock. 5 If we have found favor in your eyes,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as our possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.(Q)”
6 Moses said to the Gadites and Reubenites, “Should your fellow Israelites go to war while you sit here? 7 Why do you discourage the Israelites from crossing over into the land the Lord has given them?(R) 8 This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to look over the land.(S) 9 After they went up to the Valley of Eshkol(T) and viewed the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the Lord had given them. 10 The Lord’s anger was aroused(U) that day and he swore this oath:(V) 11 ‘Because they have not followed me wholeheartedly, not one of those who were twenty years old or more(W) when they came up out of Egypt(X) will see the land I promised on oath(Y) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Z)— 12 not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.’(AA) 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel(AB) and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.(AC)
14 “And here you are, a brood of sinners, standing in the place of your fathers and making the Lord even more angry with Israel.(AD) 15 If you turn away from following him, he will again leave all this people in the wilderness, and you will be the cause of their destruction.(AE)”
16 Then they came up to him and said, “We would like to build pens(AF) here for our livestock(AG) and cities for our women and children. 17 But we will arm ourselves for battle[a] and go ahead of the Israelites(AH) until we have brought them to their place.(AI) Meanwhile our women and children will live in fortified cities, for protection from the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their inheritance.(AJ) 19 We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance(AK) has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”(AL)
20 Then Moses said to them, “If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle(AM) 21 and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the Lord until he has driven his enemies out before him(AN)— 22 then when the land is subdued before the Lord, you may return(AO) and be free from your obligation to the Lord and to Israel. And this land will be your possession(AP) before the Lord.(AQ)
23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.(AR) 24 Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks,(AS) but do what you have promised.(AT)”
25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “We your servants will do as our lord commands.(AU) 26 Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead.(AV) 27 But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight(AW) before the Lord, just as our lord says.”
28 Then Moses gave orders about them(AX) to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun(AY) and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.(AZ) 29 He said to them, “If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you,(BA) you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.(BB) 30 But if they do not cross over(BC) with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan.(BD)”
31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, “Your servants will do what the Lord has said.(BE) 32 We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed,(BF) but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan.(BG)”
33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites,(BH) the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh(BI) son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites(BJ) and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan(BK)—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.(BL)
34 The Gadites built up Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,(BM) 35 Atroth Shophan, Jazer,(BN) Jogbehah,(BO) 36 Beth Nimrah(BP) and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and built pens for their flocks.(BQ) 37 And the Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon,(BR) Elealeh(BS) and Kiriathaim,(BT) 38 as well as Nebo(BU) and Baal Meon (these names were changed) and Sibmah.(BV) They gave names to the cities they rebuilt.
39 The descendants of Makir(BW) son of Manasseh went to Gilead,(BX) captured it and drove out the Amorites(BY) who were there. 40 So Moses gave Gilead to the Makirites,(BZ) the descendants of Manasseh, and they settled there. 41 Jair,(CA) a descendant of Manasseh, captured their settlements and called them Havvoth Jair.[b](CB) 42 And Nobah captured Kenath(CC) and its surrounding settlements and called it Nobah(CD) after himself.(CE)
