Numbers 32:20-29

20So aMoses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the Lord for the war, 21and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the Lord, until he has bdriven out his enemies from before him 22and the land is subdued before the Lord; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel, and cthis land shall be your possession before the Lord. 23But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and dbe sure your sin will find you out. 24 eBuild cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.” 25And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. 26 fOur little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead, 27 gbut your servants will pass over, every man who is harmed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord orders.”

28So iMoses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest and to jJoshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the people of Israel. 29And Moses said to them, “If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben, every man who is armed to battle before the Lord, will pass with you over the Jordan and the land shall be subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.

Deuteronomy 3:16-20

16and to the Reubenites kand the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, lthe border of the Ammonites; 17the Arabah also, with the Jordan as the border, from mChinnereth as far as nthe Sea of the Arabah, othe Salt Sea, under pthe slopes of Pisgah on the east.

18“And I commanded you at that time, saying, ‘The Lord your God has given you this land to possess. qAll your men of valor shall cross over armed before your brothers, the people of Israel. 19Only your wives, your little ones, and your livestock r(I know that you have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given you, 20 suntil the Lord gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also occupy the land that the Lord your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession which I have given you.’
