¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;

³² And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

³⁵ And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;

³ Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

²⁵ And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

⁵ And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;

⁸ For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.

⁹ For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

¹⁹ And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

¹⁴ Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

²⁶ Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

¹⁵ The sons of Gad by their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites:

¹⁶ Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites:

¹⁷ Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites.

¹⁸ These are the families of the sons of Gad as they were numbered, forty thousand, five hundred.

⁵ And Lot, who went with him, had flocks and herds and tents;

¹⁰ And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

¹¹ So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.

³² And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

¹⁰ And Zilpah, Leah's servant, gave birth to a son.

¹¹ And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

⁴ And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

³⁸ And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.

¹⁰ On the south side is the flag of the children of Reuben, in the order of their armies, with Elizur, the son of Shedeur, as their chief.

¹¹ The number of his army was forty-six thousand, five hundred.

¹² And nearest to him, the tribe of Simeon, with Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, as their chief.

¹³ The number of his army was fifty-nine thousand, three hundred.

¹⁴ Then the tribe of Gad, with Eliasaph, son of Reuel, as their chief.

¹⁵ The number of his army was forty-five thousand, six hundred and fifty.

⁵ Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

⁶ Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.

⁷ These are the families of the Reubenites: their number was forty-three thousand, seven hundred and thirty.

² Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.
