So I figured that God is very busy and must have “forgotten” about me and I don't want to remind Him." The Eastern Colonists The children of Israel are en route to the Land of Canaan when they are attacked by the armies of Sichon and Og, whose domain lay on the eastern bank of the Jordanian river. In an unexpected turn of events, the tribes of Gad and Reuben, who own an enormous amount of sheep and cattle, ask that they be given these territories, which were prime pastureland, in lieu of their allotment in the land of Canaan, which lay to the west of the Jordan.

The descendants of Gad and Reuben came and presented the following petition to Moses… ‘If we have found favor in your eyes, may this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not take us across the Jordan.'" Moses becomes extremely upset. 7/14/23, 3:50 PM TheYeshiva.net Sacrificing the Mission for the Love The Eastern Settlers: A Tale of Love Pastures of love Rabbi YY Jacobson 18 Tamuz 5771 The Old Man Arnold had reached the age of 105
