Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 45
The tribes of Ruben and Gad owned vast numbers of livestock.
So when they saw that the lands of Jayer and Gilead were ideally suited
for their flocks and herds, they came to Moses Eliezer, the priest, and
the other leaders of the community.
They said, notice the towns of Adro, Dabin, Jayer, Nira.
Hessman, Alala, Sigma, Nebo and beyond.
The Lord has conquered this whole area for the community of Israel, and it is
ideally suited for all our livestock.
If we have found favor with you, please let us have this land as
our property, instead of giving us land across the Jordan River.
Do you intend to stay here while your brothers go across
and do all the fighting?
Moses asked the men of Gad and Ruben.
Why do you want to discourage the rest of the people of Israel from going across
to the land the Lord has given them?
Your ancestors did the same thing when I sent them from
Kadish Baria to explore the land.
After they went up to the valley of Esco and explored the land, they discouraged
the people of Israel from entering the land the Lord was giving them.
Then the Lord was very angry with them and he vowed of all
those I rescued from Egypt.
No one who is 20 years old or older will ever see the land I swore to give
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for they have not obeyed me wholeheartedly.
The only exceptions are Caleb's son of Jauna, the Kenai, and
Joshua's son of none, for they have wholeheartedly followed the Lord.
The Lord was angry with Israel and made them wander in the
wilderness for 40 years.
Until the entire generation that sinned in the Lord's sight had died.
But here you are a brood of sinners doing exactly the same thing you are,
making the Lord even angrier with Israel.
If you turn away from him like this and he abandons them again in the
wilderness, you will be responsible for destroying this entire nation.
But they approached Moses and said, we simply want to build pens
for our livestock and fortified towns for our wives and children.
Then we will arm ourselves and lead our fellow Israelites into battle until we
have brought them safely to their land.
Meanwhile, our families will stay in the fortified towns we build
here, so they will be safe from any attacks by the local people.
We will not return to our homes until all the people of Israel have
received their portions of land.
But we do not claim any of the land on the other side of the Jordan.
We would rather live here on the east side and accept this as our grant of land.
Then Moses said, if you keep your word and arm yourselves for the Lord's battles,
and if your troops cross the Jordan and keep fighting until the Lord has driven
out his enemies, then you may return.
When the Lord has conquered the land, you will have fulfilled your duty to the Lord
and to the rest of the people of Israel.
The land on the east side of the Jordan will be your property from the Lord.
But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against
the Lord and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
Go ahead and build towns for your families and pens for your flocks,
but do everything you have promised.
Then the man of Gad and Ruben replied, we, your servants will
follow your instructions exactly.
Our children wives flocks and cattle will stay here in the towns of
Gilead, but all who are able to bear arms will cross over to fight for
the Lord, just as you have said so.
Moses gave orders to Ezer the priest, Joshua, son of none, and
the leaders of the clans of Israel.
He said The men of Gad and Ruben who were armed for battle must cross the
Jordan with you to fight for the Lord.
If they do give them the land of Gilead as their property when the land is conquered,
but if they refuse to arm themselves and crossover with you, then they
must accept land with the rest of you.
In the land of Canaan, the tribes of Gad and Ruben said again, we are your
servants and we will do as the Lord has commanded, we will cross the Jordan into
Canaan fully armed to fight for the Lord.
But our property will be here on this side of the Jordan.
So Moses assigned land to the tribes of Gad Ruben and half the
tribe of Manasa, son of Joseph.
He gave them the territory of King Shon of the Amorites and the land of King, OG of
Bayesian, the whole land with its cities and surrounding lands the descendants
of Gad built the towns of din at Roth, A rower at with Shohan Jaser jog Baha.
Beth Nira and Beth Heron.
These were all fortified towns with pens for their flocks.
The descendants of Ruben built the towns of Hessman, ela, RIA,
Tham, Nebo, Baan, and Sigma.
They changed the names of some of the towns they conquered and rebuilt.
Then the descendants of me here, of the tribe of Manas went to Gilead
and conquered it, and they drove out the Amorites living there.
So Moses gave Gilead to the Maites descendants of Manasa,
and they settled there.
The people of Jer, another clan of the tribe of Manasa, captured many of the
towns in Gilead and changed the name of that region to the towns of Jayer.
Meanwhile, a man named Nova captured the town of Kenneth and
its surrounding villages, and he renamed that area Nova after himself.
This is the route the Israelites followed as they marched out of Egypt.
Under the leadership of Moses and Aaron at the Lord's direction, Moses kept
a written record of their progress.
These are the stages of their march identified by the different places
where they stopped along the way.
They set out from the city of Ramesses in early spring.
On the 15th day of the first month on the morning after the
first Passover celebration, the people of Israel left defiantly
in full view of all the Egyptians.
Meanwhile, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the
Lord had killed the night before.

This happened in Midsummer on the first day of the fifth month of the 40th year
after Israel's departure from Egypt.
