  1. Bnei Gad and Bnei Reuvein receive the land of Og and Sichon:
    • The request: Bnei Reuvein and Gad had a lot of livestock, and they desired to receive the land area of Yazer and Gilead for their animals to graze. They approached Moshe, Elazar, and the tribal leaders and asked to receive this land in exchange for the land that is across the Jordon.
    • Moshe’s reply and the subsequent agreement: Moshe replied to Bnei Gad and Bnei Reuvein by criticizing them for their request, saying they are discouraging Bnei Yisrael from wanting to enter Eretz Yisrael and are repeating the mistake of the Meraglim. They replied to Moshe saying that they will build cities for their families and animals and then wage war with the rest of Bnei Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael. Furthermore, they will be on the front lines of the battle and will not return home until all Bnei Yisrael have inherited their land.
