For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 32 of Numbers. Reuben and Gad clarify that they will not abandon the other tribes and commit to participating in the war until Israel receives its inheritance. Moses accepts the proposal under this condition. The agreement establishes that possessing a particular inheritance does not free a tribe from its responsibility toward the entire community. The land received must coexist with collective commitment.

Denn wir wollen nicht mit ihnen erben jenseit des Jordans, sondern unser Erbe soll uns diesseit des Jordan gegen Morgen gefallen sein.
Porque no tomaremos heredad con ellos al otro lado del Jordán ni adelante, por cuanto tendremos ya nuestra heredad de estotra parte del Jordán al oriente.
Pues no recibiremos herencia con ellos al otro lado del Jordán ni más allá, porque nuestra herencia nos ha correspondido a este lado del Jordán, al oriente».
et nous ne posséderons rien avec eux de l'autre côté du Jourdain, ni plus loin, puisque nous aurons notre héritage de ce côté-ci du Jourdain, à l'orient.
Perciocchè, quant’è a noi, noi non possederemo nulla con loro di là dal Giordano; essendoci la nostra eredità scaduta di qua dal Giordano, verso oriente.
Porque não herdaremos com eles além do Jordão, nem mais adiante; porquanto nós já temos a nossa herança aquém do Jordão, ao oriente.
我們不和他們在 約旦河 那邊分產業,因為我們的產業是在 約旦河 的東邊。」
