Numbers 32:25
23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27 But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
