32:20-32
Moses agrees to their offer, but is absolutely insistent that they must fight with their brothers until the enemies are driven out of the land. Then they would be free to do what they had suggested. The Reubenites and Gadites agree to this compromise, reaffirming their willingness to fight alongside the rest of the Israelites.
32:33-42
Having had their request granted, the Reubenites and Gadites set to clearing out any last vestiges of enemies from their new land, and building up the fortified towns. The half tribe of Manasseh also joins them.
