25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.
26Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;
27But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.
28So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:
30But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.
31Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.
