1
And unto Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2
And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah.
3
And they that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, every male from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
4
These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
5
But among these there was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
6
For Jehovah had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
7
Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
8
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,
9
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.
10
Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father.
11
And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah.
12
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
13
The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
14
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
15
And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
16
And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren.
17
And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute
18
and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
19
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
20
And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered;
21
because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)
22
And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,
23
Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
24
who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
25
And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;
26
and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
27
And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.
28
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
29
And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
30
and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses.
31
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
32
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
33
And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering.
34
The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
35
and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.
36
It is a continual burnt-offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
37
And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto Jehovah.
38
And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
39
And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts
40
of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof:
41
this is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof.
42
And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;

1
And 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.
2
And 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,
3
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4
the country that Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle;
5
and 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.
6
And Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye abide here?
7
And why do ye discourage the children of Israel from going over into the land that Jehovah has given them?
8
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land:
9
they 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.
10
And Jehovah's anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11
If 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;
12
save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed Jehovah.
13
And 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.
14
And behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a progeny of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel.
15
If ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16
And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;
17
but 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.
18
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
19
For 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.
20
And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,
21
and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him,
22
and 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.
23
But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.
24
Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
25
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commands.
26
Our little ones, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27
but thy servants will pass over, every one armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord says.
28
So 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.
29
And 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;
30
but if they do not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to thy servants, so will we do.
32
We 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.
33
And 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.
34
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35
and Atroth-Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbebah,
36
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-haran, strong cities, and sheepfolds.
37
— And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elaleh, and Kirjathaim,
38
and 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.
40
And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took their hamlets, and called them Havoth-Jair.
42
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its dependent villages, and called it Nobah, after his name.

1
And the children of Ruben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Galaad; and the place was a place for cattle:
2
and the children of Ruben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3
Ataroth, and Dæbon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabau, and Bæan,
4
the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle.
5
And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
6
And Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7
And why do ye pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them?
8
Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land?
9
and they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them.
10
And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying,
11
Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me:
12
save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord.
13
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct.
14
Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.
15
For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.
16
And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;
17
and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18
We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
19
And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward.
20
And Moses said to them, If ye will do according to these words, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle,
21
and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face,
22
and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord.
23
But if ye will not do so, ye will sin against the Lord; and ye shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you.
24
And ye shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and ye shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth.
25
And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our lord commands.
26
Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad.
27
But thy servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says.
28
And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel.
29
And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and ye shall subdue the land before you, then ye shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession.
30
But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall ye cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan.
31
And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do.
32
We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and ye shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.
33
And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.
34
And the sons of Gad built Dæbon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35
and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up,
36
and Namram, and Bætharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep.
37
And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham,
38
and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names.
39
And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who dwelt in it.
40
And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he dwelt there.
41
And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair.
42
And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.

1
Filii autem Ruben et Gad habebant pecora multa, et erat illis in iumentis infinita substantia. Cumque vidissent Iazer, et Galaad aptas animalibus alendis terras,
2
venerunt ad Moysen, et ad Elezarum sacerdotem, et principes multitudinis, atque dixerunt:
3
Ataroth, et Dibon, et Iazer, et Nemra, Hesebon, et Eleale, et Saban, et Nebo, et Beon,
4
terra, quam percussit Dominus in conspectu filiorum Israel, regio uberrima est ad pastum animalium: et nos servi tui habemus iumenta plurima:
5
precamurque si invenimus gratiam coram te, ut des nobis famulis tuis eam in possessionem, nec facias nos transire Iordanem.
6
Quibus respondit Moyses: Numquid fratres vestri ibunt ad pugnam, et vos hic sedebitis?
7
Cur subvertitis mentes filiorum Israel, ne transire audeant in locum, quem eis daturus est Dominus?
8
nonne ita egerunt patres vestri, quando misi de Cadesbarne ad explorandam Terram?
9
Cumque venissent usque ad Vallem botri, lustrata omni regione, subverterunt cor filiorum Israel, ut non intrarent fines, quos eis Dominus dedit.
10
Qui iratus iuravit, dicens:
11
Si videbunt homines isti, qui ascenderunt ex Ægypto a viginti annis et supra, Terram, quam sub iuramento pollicitus sum Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: et noluerunt sequi me,
12
præter Caleb filium Iephone Cenezæum, et Iosue filium Nun: isti impleverunt voluntatem meam.
13
Iratusque Dominus adversum Israel, circumduxit eum per desertum quadraginta annis, donec consumeretur universa generatio, quæ fecerat malum in conspectu eius.
14
Et ecce, inquit, vos surrexistis pro patribus vestris, incrementa, et alumni hominum peccatorum, ut augeretis furorem Domini contra Israel.
15
Quod si nolueritis sequi eum, in solitudine populum derelinquet, et vos causa eritis necis omnium.
16
At illi prope accedentes, dixerunt: Caulas ovium fabricabimus, et stabula iumentorum, parvulis quoque nostris urbes munitas:
17
nos autem ipsi armati et accincti pergemus ad prælium ante filios Israel, donec introducamus eos ad loca sua. Parvuli nostri, et quidquid habere possumus, erunt in urbibus muratis, propter habitatorum insidias.
18
Non revertemur in domos nostras, usque dum possideant filii Israel hereditatem suam:
19
nec quidquam quæremus trans Iordanem, quia iam habemus nostram possessionem in orientali eius plaga.
20
Quibus Moyses ait: Si facitis quod promittitis, expediti pergite coram Domino ad pugnam:
21
et omnis vir bellator armatus Iordanem transeat, donec subvertat Dominus inimicos suos,
22
et subiiciatur ei omnis Terra: tunc eritis inculpabiles apud Dominum et apud Israel, et obtinebitis regiones, quas vultis coram Domino.
23
Sin autem quod dicitis, non feceritis, nulli dubium est quin peccetis in Deum: et scitote quoniam peccatum vestrum apprehendet vos.
24
Ædificate ergo urbes parvulis vestris, et caulas, et stabula ovibus ac iumentis: et quod polliciti estis implete.
25
Dixeruntque filii Gad et Ruben ad Moysen: Servi tui sumus, faciemus quod iubet dominus noster.
26
Parvulos nostros, et mulieres, et pecora, ac iumenta relinquemus in urbibus Galaad:
27
nos autem famuli tui omnes expediti pergemus ad bellum, sicut tu domine loqueris.
28
Præcepit ergo Moyses Eleazaro sacerdoti, et Iosue filio Nun, et principibus familiarum per tribus Israel, et dixit ad eos:
29
Si transierint filii Gad, et filii Ruben vobiscum Iordanem omnes armati ad bellum coram Domino, et vobis fuerit Terra subiecta: date eis Galaad in possessionem.
30
Sin autem noluerint transire armati vobiscum in Terram Chanaan, inter vos habitandi accipiant loca.
31
Responderuntque filii Gad, et filii Ruben: Sicut locutus est Dominus servis suis, ita faciemus:
32
ipsi armati pergemus coram Domino in Terram Chanaan, et possessionem iam suscepisse nos confitemur trans Iordanem.
33
Dedit itaque Moyses filiis Gad et Ruben, et dimidiæ tribui Manasse filii Ioseph regnum Sehon regis Amorrhæi, et regnum Og regis Basan, et terram eorum cum urbibus suis per circuitum.
34
Igitur extruxerunt filii Gad, Dibon, et Ataroth, et Aroer,
35
et Etroth, et Sophan, et Iazer, et Iegbaa,
36
et Bethnemra, et Betharan, urbes munitas, et caulas pecoribus suis.
37
Filii vero Ruben ædificaverunt Hesebon, et Eleale, et Cariathaim,
38
et Nabo, et Baalmeon versis nominibus, Sabama quoque: imponentes vocabula urbibus, quas extruxerunt.
39
Porro filii Machir filii Manasse perrexerunt in Galaad, et vastaverunt eam interfecto Amorrhæo habitatore eius.
40
Dedit ergo Moyses Terram Galaad Machir filio Manasse, qui habitavit in ea.
41
Iair autem filius Manasse abiit et occupavit vicos eius, quos appellavit Havoth Iair, id est, Villas Iair.
42
Nobe quoque perrexit, et apprehendit Chanath cum viculis suis: vocavitque eam ex nomine suo Nobe.

1
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead. Behold, the place was a place for livestock.
2
Then 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 congregation, saying,
3
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4
the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock.”
5
They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Don’t bring us over the Jordan.”
6
Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?
7
Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8
Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9
For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10
The LORD’s anger burned in that day, and he swore, saying,
11
‘Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,
12
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, because they have followed the LORD completely.’
13
The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation who had done evil in the LORD’s sight was consumed.
14
“Behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, an increase of sinful men, to increase the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15
For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all these people.”
16
They came near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones;
17
but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18
We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have all received their inheritance.
19
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.”
20
Moses said to them: “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
21
and every one of your armed men will pass over the Jordan before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22
and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be clear of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. Then this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23
“But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24
Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.”
25
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says.”
28
So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29
Moses said to them, “If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30
but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.”
31
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, “As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
32
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
33
Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan; the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34
The children of Gad built Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,
35
Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,
36
Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities and folds for sheep.
37
The children of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,
38
Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah. They gave other names to the cities which they built.
39
The children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were therein.
40
Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he lived therein.
41
Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its villages, and called them Havvoth Jair.
42
Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
8
`Thus did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land;
9
and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;
10
and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, saying,
11
They do not see--the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward--the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after Me;
12
save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;
13
and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.
14
`And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men--sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward Israel;
15
when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'
16
And they come nigh unto him, and say, `Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
17
and we--we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
18
we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
19
for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the <FI>sun<Fi> -rising.'
20
And Moses saith unto them, `If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21
and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
22
and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah--then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
23
`And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;
24
build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'
25
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, `Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;
26
our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,
27
and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'
28
And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel;
29
and Moses saith unto them, `If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a possession;
30
and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'
31
And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, `That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants--so we do;
32
we--we pass over armed before Jehovah <FI>to<Fi> the land of Canaan, and with us <FI>is<Fi> the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'
33
And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.
34
And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35
and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
36
and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.
37
And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
38
and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by <FI>these<Fi> names the names of the cities which they have built.
39
And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who <FI>is<Fi> in it;
40
and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth in it.
41
And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them `Towns of Jair;'
42
and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
