And they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not take us across the Jordan.”
Numbers 32:5
Reuben and Gad said that they wanted land east of the Jordan for purely economic reasons, but that's rarely a good reason to separate from the rest of God's people. The Jordan between them and the rest of the Kingdom is much like the barriers we inadvertently erect between us and God by an inappropriate focus on temporary gain.
What barriers do you tend to put up between yourself and the rest of the Kingdom? Between yourself and God?
The land that YHWH struck down before the congregation of Israel is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
Numbers 32:4
This says that God struck the land of the Canaanites, but the land remained pleasant and fertile. He struck it so that it turned against its occupants. He owns the cattle and the hills beneath them. Use his resources wisely, because he can turn even your wealth against you.
The destiny of a people is tied to their land. God struck the land of the Canaanites because of their sin and they died. He blessed the land of Israel (the same land!) and the Israelites prospered.

Exodus 19:6, “And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.” The first time in the Bible the Hebrew word for holy appears is this verse. Strong’s #h6918 is defined as; holy, Holy One, holy ones, saints, consecrated. The mixed multitude who received the commandments were being told how to be faithful to our Creator.
"Behold, the judge standeth before the door."
