📚 Historical Context

In the Book of Numbers, the tribes of Gad and Reuben approached Moses because they wanted to settle in the fertile lands east of the Jordan River instead of crossing over with the rest of Israel. Moses was concerned that this might discourage the other tribes, so he required them to commit to fighting alongside their brothers until the conquest was complete. In this verse, they affirm their willingness to obey his commands.
