“ Let Reuben live and not die, nor his people be few.”

Here’s what Moses said about Reuben.“ Let Reuben live. Don’t let him die. And do not let his people be few.”

Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:“ Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number.”

Let Reuben live and not die though his people become few.

“ May Reuben live and not die, Nor may his people be few.”

“ Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few.”

Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.

Let Reuben live and not die though his people become few.

Let Reuben live, and not die; and let[ not] his men be few.

May Reuben live and not die, and may his people multiply.

“ Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”

“ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the firstfruits of my strength, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it— he went up to my couch!

At that time Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,and said to them,“ You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you.You have not forsaken your brothers these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the Lord your God.And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan.Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua had given a possession beside their brothers in the land west of the Jordan. And when Joshua sent them away to their homes and blessed them,he said to them,“ Go back to your tents with much wealth and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, and iron, and with much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”So the people of Reuben and the people of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the Lord through Moses.

“ Judah, your brothers shall praise you; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down before you.

And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered,“ What the Lord has said to your servants, we will do.We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.”
