Numbers 32:20
“And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,”
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
And the land be subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.
