--> 00:00:08.776 The tribes of Ruben and Gad owned vast numbers of livestock. 00:00:09.466 --> 00:00:13.756 So when they saw that the lands of Jayer and Gilead were ideally suited 00:00:13.756 --> 00:00:18.346 for their flocks and herds, they came to Moses Eliezer, the priest, and 00:00:18.346 --> 00:00:19.846 the other leaders of the community. 00:00:20.776 --> 00:00:26.566 They said, notice the towns of Adro, Dabin, Jayer, Nira. 00:00:26.956 --> 00:00:31.756 Hessman, Alala, Sigma, Nebo and beyond. 00:00:32.476 --> 00:00:36.736 The Lord has conquered this whole area for the community of Israel, and it is 00:00:36.736 --> 00:00:39.316 ideally suited for all our livestock. 00:00:39.976 --> 00:00:43.486 If we have found favor with you, please let us have this land as 00:00:43.486 --> 00:00:46.876 our property, instead of giving us land across the Jordan River. 00:00:48.106 --> 00:00:51.136 Do you intend to stay here while your brothers go across 00:00:51.136 --> 00:00:52.156 and do all the fighting? 00:00:52.546 --> 00:00:54.646 Moses asked the men of Gad and Ruben. 00:00:55.411 --> 00:00:59.401 Why do you want to discourage the rest of the people of Israel from going across 00:00:59.401 --> 00:01:01.021 to the land the Lord has given them? 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:04.741 Your ancestors did the same thing when I sent them from 00:01:04.741 --> 00:01:07.051 Kadish Baria to explore the land. 00:01:07.801 --> 00:01:12.601 After they went up to the valley of Esco and explored the land, they discouraged 00:01:12.601 --> 00:01:15.541 the people of Israel from entering the land the Lord was giving them. 00:01:16.381 --> 00:01:20.041 Then the Lord was very angry with them and he vowed of all 00:01:20.041 --> 00:01:21.631 those I rescued from Egypt. 00:01:21.901 --> 00:01:26.611 No one who is 20 years old or older will ever see the land I swore to give 00:01:26.611 --> 00:01:31.021 to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for they have not obeyed me wholeheartedly. 00:01:31.711 --> 00:01:35.731 The only exceptions are Caleb's son of Jauna, the Kenai, and 00:01:35.736 --> 00:01:39.601 Joshua's son of none, for they have wholeheartedly followed the Lord. 00:01:40.501 --> 00:01:43.381 The Lord was angry with Israel and made them wander in the 00:01:43.381 --> 00:01:45.061 wilderness for 40 years. 00:01:45.346 --> 00:01:49.096 Until the entire generation that sinned in the Lord's sight had died. 00:01:49.756 --> 00:01:54.676 But here you are a brood of sinners doing exactly the same thing you are, 00:01:54.681 --> 00:01:57.076 making the Lord even angrier with Israel. 00:01:57.616 --> 00:02:01.276 If you turn away from him like this and he abandons them again in the 00:02:01.276 --> 00:02:05.656 wilderness, you will be responsible for destroying this entire nation. 00:02:07.126 --> 00:02:11.086 But they approached Moses and said, we simply want to build pens 00:02:11.086 --> 00:02:14.596 for our livestock and fortified towns for our wives and children. 00:02:15.286 --> 00:02:19.996 Then we will arm ourselves and lead our fellow Israelites into battle until we 00:02:19.996 --> 00:02:21.976 have brought them safely to their land. 00:02:22.636 --> 00:02:26.566 Meanwhile, our families will stay in the fortified towns we build 00:02:26.566 --> 00:02:30.466 here, so they will be safe from any attacks by the local people. 00:02:31.096 --> 00:02:35.206 We will not return to our homes until all the people of Israel have 00:02:35.206 --> 00:02:37.036 received their portions of land. 00:02:37.696 --> 00:02:41.026 But we do not claim any of the land on the other side of the Jordan. 00:02:41.431 --> 00:02:46.141 We would rather live here on the east side and accept this as our grant of land. 00:02:47.521 --> 00:02:52.771 Then Moses said, if you keep your word and arm yourselves for the Lord's battles, 00:02:53.161 --> 00:02:57.451 and if your troops cross the Jordan and keep fighting until the Lord has driven 00:02:57.456 --> 00:03:00.031 out his enemies, then you may return. 00:03:00.031 --> 00:03:04.441 When the Lord has conquered the land, you will have fulfilled your duty to the Lord 00:03:04.801 --> 00:03:06.721 and to the rest of the people of Israel. 00:03:07.516 --> 00:03:11.536 The land on the east side of the Jordan will be your property from the Lord. 00:03:12.316 --> 00:03:16.066 But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against 00:03:16.066 --> 00:03:19.786 the Lord and you may be sure that your sin will find you out. 00:03:20.686 --> 00:03:24.316 Go ahead and build towns for your families and pens for your flocks, 00:03:24.826 --> 00:03:26.716 but do everything you have promised. 00:03:27.676 --> 00:03:32.176 Then the man of Gad and Ruben replied, we, your servants will 00:03:32.176 --> 00:03:34.396 follow your instructions exactly. 00:03:34.981 --> 00:03:40.141 Our children wives flocks and cattle will stay here in the towns of 00:03:40.141 --> 00:03:45.541 Gilead, but all who are able to bear arms will cross over to fight for 00:03:45.546 --> 00:03:49.501 the Lord, just as you have said so. 00:03:49.506 --> 00:03:54.211 Moses gave orders to Ezer the priest, Joshua, son of none, and 00:03:54.211 --> 00:03:55.891 the leaders of the clans of Israel. 00:03:56.461 --> 00:04:01.561 He said The men of Gad and Ruben who were armed for battle must cross the 00:04:01.561 --> 00:04:03.481 Jordan with you to fight for the Lord. 00:04:04.051 --> 00:04:08.611 If they do give them the land of Gilead as their property when the land is conquered, 00:04:09.421 --> 00:04:13.321 but if they refuse to arm themselves and crossover with you, then they 00:04:13.326 --> 00:04:15.301 must accept land with the rest of you. 00:04:15.306 --> 00:04:20.791 In the land of Canaan, the tribes of Gad and Ruben said again, we are your 00:04:20.796 --> 00:04:26.161 servants and we will do as the Lord has commanded, we will cross the Jordan into 00:04:26.161 --> 00:04:28.741 Canaan fully armed to fight for the Lord. 00:04:29.221 --> 00:04:32.551 But our property will be here on this side of the Jordan. 00:04:33.511 --> 00:04:38.101 So Moses assigned land to the tribes of Gad Ruben and half the 00:04:38.101 --> 00:04:40.021 tribe of Manasa, son of Joseph. 00:04:40.561 --> 00:04:45.961 He gave them the territory of King Shon of the Amorites and the land of King, OG of 00:04:45.961 --> 00:04:52.111 Bayesian, the whole land with its cities and surrounding lands the descendants 00:04:52.111 --> 00:05:01.051 of Gad built the towns of din at Roth, A rower at with Shohan Jaser jog Baha. 00:05:01.756 --> 00:05:04.036 Beth Nira and Beth Heron. 00:05:04.756 --> 00:05:08.326 These were all fortified towns with pens for their flocks. 00:05:09.406 --> 00:05:14.656 The descendants of Ruben built the towns of Hessman, ela, RIA, 00:05:14.956 --> 00:05:18.856 Tham, Nebo, Baan, and Sigma. 00:05:19.396 --> 00:05:22.996 They changed the names of some of the towns they conquered and rebuilt. 00:05:24.346 --> 00:05:28.306 Then the descendants of me here, of the tribe of Manas went to Gilead 00:05:28.546 --> 00:05:31.936 and conquered it, and they drove out the Amorites living there. 00:05:32.656 --> 00:05:36.916 So Moses gave Gilead to the Maites descendants of Manasa, 00:05:37.276 --> 00:05:38.296 and they settled there. 00:05:39.106 --> 00:05:43.756 The people of Jer, another clan of the tribe of Manasa, captured many of the 00:05:43.756 --> 00:05:48.706 towns in Gilead and changed the name of that region to the towns of Jayer. 00:05:49.576 --> 00:05:54.016 Meanwhile, a man named Nova captured the town of Kenneth and 00:05:54.016 --> 00:05:58.996 its surrounding villages, and he renamed that area Nova after himself. 00:06:01.096 --> 00:06:04.666 This is the route the Israelites followed as they marched out of Egypt. 00:06:04.816 --> 00:06:09.526 Under the leadership of Moses and Aaron at the Lord's direction, Moses kept 00:06:09.526 --> 00:06:11.266 a written record of their progress. 00:06:11.806 --> 00:06:15.436 These are the stages of their march identified by the different places 00:06:15.436 --> 00:06:17.056 where they stopped along the way. 00:06:18.421 --> 00:06:21.541 They set out from the city of Ramesses in early spring. 00:06:21.841 --> 00:06:25.081 On the 15th day of the first month on the morning after the 00:06:25.081 --> 00:06:29.641 first Passover celebration, the people of Israel left defiantly 00:06:29.911 --> 00:06:31.861 in full view of all the Egyptians. 00:06:32.521 --> 00:06:37.081 Meanwhile, the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn sons, whom the 00:06:37.081 --> 00:06:38.791 Lord had killed the night before. 00:06:39.361 --> 00:06:43.891 The Lord had defeated the gods of Egypt that night with great acts of judgment. 00:06:45.181 --> 00:06:46.681 After leaving Ramesses. 00:06:47.011 --> 00:06:49.411 The Israelites set up camp at Zeth. 00:06:50.251 --> 00:06:54.181 Then they left Zeth and camped at Eham on the edge of the wilderness. 00:06:54.991 --> 00:07:00.121 They left Eham and turned back towards Pahara opposite bales, 00:07:00.121 --> 00:07:02.401 Ethan and camped near mgd. 00:07:02.701 --> 00:07:07.981 They left Piha Harith and crossed the Red Sea into the wilderness beyond. 00:07:08.671 --> 00:07:13.381 Then they traveled for three days into the Ethan Wilderness and camped at Mera. 00:07:14.146 --> 00:07:18.316 They left Mera and camped at Elam where there were 12 springs 00:07:18.316 --> 00:07:20.476 of water and 70 palm trees. 00:07:21.226 --> 00:07:24.316 They left Elam and camped beside the Red Sea. 00:07:25.066 --> 00:07:28.666 They left the Red Sea and camped in the wilderness of sin. 00:07:29.386 -->

where there was no water 00:07:41.746 --> 00:07:42.856 for the people to drink. 00:07:43.636 --> 00:07:47.356 They left RDI and camped in the wilderness of Sinai. 00:07:48.766 --> 00:07:52.786 They left the wilderness of Sinai and camped at Kirova. 00:07:53.506 --> 00:07:57.166 They left Kirova and camped at Hazera. 00:07:57.886 --> 00:08:00.586 They left Hazera and camped at rma. 00:08:01.426

first day of the fifth month of the 40th year 00:09:33.796 --> 00:09:35.836 after Israel's departure from Egypt. 00:09:36.706 --> 00:09:41.116 Aaron was 123 years old when he died there on Mount Whore. 00:09:41.926 --> 00:09:46.126 At that time, the Canaanite king of a, who lived in the Negev, in the 00:09:46.126 --> 00:09:50.206 land of Canaan, heard that the people of Israel were approaching his land. 00:09:51.316 --> 00:09:55.396 Meanwhile, the Israelites left Mount whore and camped at Zel. 00:09:56.221 --> 00:09:59.131 Then they left Zona and camped at Putin. 00:09:59.971
