And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.

If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.
