And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah has said to your servants, so we will do.
But if they will not go over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
We will go over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, so that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
Let Reuben live and not die, and let not his men be few.
And they answered Joshua, saying: We will do all that you command us, and wherever you send us we will go.
