These tribes requested to settle on the east side of the Jordan River, in the land of Gilead, because it was suitable for their large herds and flocks (<a href="/numbers/32.htm">Numbers 32:1-5</a>). This decision reflects their pastoral lifestyle and the importance of livestock in their economy and culture. Their choice also demonstrates a willingness to separate from the main body of Israel, which could be seen as a lack of faith in God's promise of the land west of the Jordan. However, they committed to helping the other tribes conquer the land of Canaan before settling permanently (<a href="/numbers/32-16.htm">Numbers 32:16-19</a>).<p><b>along with the half-tribe of Manasseh</b><br>The half-tribe of Manasseh refers to the descendants of Joseph's son Manasseh, who were divided into two groups, one settling east of the Jordan and the other west. This division is significant as it shows the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing over Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, where they were to become two distinct tribes (<a href="/genesis/48-5.htm">Genesis 48:5-6</a>). The eastern half-tribe of Manasseh was granted land due to their military prowess and their role in the conquest of the Amorite kings, Sihon and Og (<a href="/deuteronomy/3-13.htm">Deuteronomy 3:13-15</a>). This allocation highlights the strategic importance of controlling territories on both sides of the Jordan River.<p><b>have already received their inheritance</b><br>The inheritance refers to the land apportioned to these tribes before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into Canaan. This early allocation was a result of their request and agreement to assist in the conquest of Canaan (<a href="/numbers/32-20.htm">Numbers 32:20-22</a>). The concept of inheritance is deeply rooted in the Abrahamic covenant, where God promised land to Abraham's descendants (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>). This inheritance is not just a physical possession but a fulfillment of divine promise and a symbol of God's faithfulness. It also prefigures the spiritual inheritance believers receive through Christ, as co-heirs with Him (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>), emphasizing the continuity of God's promises from the Old Testament to the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/r/reubenites.htm">Reubenites</a></b><br>Descendants of Reuben, Jacob's firstborn son.
