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

“愿流便存活，不致死亡；愿他人数不致稀少。

愿吕便存活，不致死亡，虽然他的人丁稀少。

愿吕便存活，不致死亡，虽然他的人丁稀少。

摩西祝福吕便支派说：“尽管吕便人数稀少，愿他存活，不致灭没。”

愿流本生存，不致死亡，愿他的人数不致稀少。”

願呂便存活，不致死亡；願他人數不致稀少。

願呂便存活，不致死亡，雖然他的人丁稀少。

願呂便存活，不致死亡，雖然他的人丁稀少。

摩西祝福呂便支派說：「儘管呂便人數稀少，願他存活，不致滅沒。」

願流本生存，不致死亡，願他的人數不致稀少。”

『願如便長活着，不至死亡，雖然他的人數稀少。』

願流便生存不死、惟人數維寡、○

願流便恆存不沒、人數弗減。

願流便生而不死、人數不寡、○

“ 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.”

“ Let Reuben live, and not die, but let his men be few.”

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 strength, the child of my vigorous youth. You are first in rank and first in power.But you are as unruly as a flood, and you will be first no longer. For you went to bed with my wife; you defiled my marriage couch.

Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh.He told them,“ You have done as Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you, and you have obeyed every order I have given you.During all this time you have not deserted the other tribes. You have been careful to obey the commands of the Lord your God right up to the present day.And now the Lord your God has given the other tribes rest, as he promised them. So go back home to the land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you as your possession on the east side of the Jordan River.But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went home.Moses had given the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, to the half tribe of Manasseh.( The other half of the tribe was given land west of the Jordan.) As Joshua sent them away and blessed them,he said to them,“ Go back to your homes with the great wealth you have taken from your enemies— the vast herds of livestock, the silver, gold, bronze, and iron, and the large supply of clothing. Share the plunder with your relatives.”So the men of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh left the rest of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan. They started the journey back to their own land of Gilead, the territory that belonged to them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.

“ Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will grasp your enemies by the neck. All your relatives will bow before you.

The tribes of Gad and Reuben said again,“ We are your servants, and we will do as the Lord has commanded!We will cross the Jordan into Canaan fully armed to fight for the Lord, but our property will be here on this side of the Jordan.”
