Num. 32:26• 26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: (Num. 32:26)
• Let the reader turn to Joshua 22. Here we have the first sorrowful effect of the equivocal conduct of Reuben and Gad. They must needs build an altar — “a great altar to see to,” lest in time to come their brethren might disown them. What does all this prove? It proves that they were all wrong in taking up their position on this side of Jordan. And only mark the effect upon the whole assembly — the disturbing, alarming effect of this altar. (“Numbers 32” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• They were the very first to fall into the enemy’s hands. See 1 Kings 22:3. (“Numbers 32” by C.H. Mackintosh)
