Numbers 32 · Grade 2
A Promise to Help
Read the Story
The tribes of Reuben and Gad had lots of sheep and cows. They saw good land for animals on the east side of the Jordan River. They asked Moses, Can we live here?
Moses was worried. He asked, Will your brothers fight while you sit here? He did not want them to make the others afraid, like the spies had.
Reuben and Gad promised to cross the river and help their brothers. We will not go home until everyone has their land, they said. Moses agreed. They kept their promise.
