They sent him to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.They sent ten of their leaders with him. There was one from each of the tribes of Israel. Each man was the leader of a family group among the larger family groups of Israel.Those leaders went to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

“ If your brother or sister sins against you, go to them. Tell them what they did wrong. Keep it between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them back.But what if they won’t listen to you? Then take one or two others with you. Scripture says,‘ Every matter must be proved by the words of two or three witnesses.’( Deuteronomy 19:15)But what if they also refuse to listen to the witnesses? Then tell it to the church. And what if they refuse to listen even to the church? Then don’t treat them as a brother or sister. Treat them as you would treat an ungodly person or a tax collector.“ What I’m about to tell you is true. What you lock on earth will be locked in heaven. What you unlock on earth will be unlocked in heaven.
