「……要知道你们的罪必追上你们。」（23节）

经文
民数记三十二20-33

20摩西对他们说：你们若这样行，在耶和华面前带着兵器出去打仗，

21所有带兵器的人都要在耶和华面前过约但河，等他赶出他的仇敌，

22那地被耶和华制伏了，然后你们可以回来，向耶和华和以色列才为无罪，这地也必在耶和华面前归你们为业。

23倘若你们不这样行，就得罪耶和华，要知道你们的罪必追上你们。

24如今你们口中所出的，只管去行，为你们的妇人孩子造城，为你们的羊群垒圈。

25迦得子孙和流便子孙对摩西说：仆人要照我主所吩咐的去行。

26我们的妻子、孩子、羊群，和所有的牲畜都要留在基列的各城。

27但你的仆人，凡带兵器的，都要照我主所说的话，在耶和华面前过去打仗。

28于是，摩西为他们嘱咐祭司以利亚撒和嫩的儿子约书亚，并以色列众支派的族长，说：

29迦得子孙和流便子孙，凡带兵器在耶和华面前去打仗的，若与你们一同过约但河，那地被你们制伏了，你们就要把基列地给他们为业。

30倘若他们不带兵器和你们一同过去，就要在迦南地你们中间得产业。

31迦得子孙和流便子孙回答说：耶和华怎样吩咐仆人，仆人就怎样行。

32我们要带兵器，在耶和华面前过去，进入迦南地，只是约但河这边、我们所得为业之地仍归我们。

33摩西将亚摩利王西宏的国和巴珊王噩的国，连那地和周围的城邑，都给了迦得子孙和流便子孙，并约瑟的儿子玛拿西半个支派。

"...you may be sure that your sin will find you out." (v.23)

Bible reading:
Numbers 32:20-33

20 Then Moses said to them, "If you will do this—if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle

21 and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the Lord until he has driven his enemies out before him—

22 then when the land is subdued before the Lord, you may return and be free from your obligation to the Lord and to Israel. And this land will be your possession before the Lord.

23 "But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the Lord; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.

24 Build cities for your women and children, and pens for your flocks, but do what you have promised."

25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, "We your servants will do as our lord commands.

26 Our children and wives, our flocks and herds will remain here in the cities of Gilead.

27 But your servants, every man who is armed for battle, will cross over to fight before the Lord, just as our lord says."

28 Then Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and to the family heads of the Israelite tribes.

29 He said to them, "If the Gadites and Reubenites, every man armed for battle, cross over the Jordan with you before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, you must give them the land of Gilead as their possession.

30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they must accept their possession with you in Canaan."

31 The Gadites and Reubenites answered, "Your servants will do what the Lord has said.

32 We will cross over before the Lord into Canaan armed, but the property we inherit will be on this side of the Jordan."

33 Then Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites and the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan—the whole land with its cities and the territory around them.
