“Please let us have this land as our property, instead of giving us land across the Jordan River.”
The tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Mannaseh asked Moses to give them land on the east side of the Jordan.
Moses agreed, provided they first go and fight with the other tribes across the Jordan.
For the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Mannaseh, the east side of the Jordan would be their promised land.
