"Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Even the county which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel,.... In which the above cities were, and perhaps some others not named: this was now in the hands
of the people of Israel, being subdued by them, the conquest of which is ascribed unto the Lord, for the victory was of him; it was he that smote their enemies; and delivered their country into their hands; and now Moses, Eleazar, and the princes of the congregation, being the representatives of the people, had a right to dispose of it, and, which these two tribes request might be given to them, because, say they: it is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle; to stock it, with and great numbers of them; see
