Numbers 32 · Grade 3
Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out
Read the Story
The children of Reuben and Gad had very many cattle. They saw that the land of Jazer and Gilead was good for cattle. They asked Moses not to bring them over the Jordan.
Moses said, Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here? He reminded them that their fathers discouraged Israel at Kadesh. They answered, We will build sheepfolds and cities for our little ones. But we ourselves will go armed before Israel. We will not return to our houses until Israel has received their inheritance.
Moses agreed. But if you will not do so, you have sinned against Yahweh, he warned. Be sure your sin will find you out. So Moses gave land to Gad, Reuben, and half of Manasseh east of the Jordan.
