21 He chose the best land for himself;

the leader’s portion was kept for him.

When the heads of the people assembled,

he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,

and his judgments concerning Israel.”

21 And he provided the first part for himself,

Because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated;

And he came with the heads of the people,

He executed the justice of the Lord,

And his judgments with Israel.

21 The people of Gad took the best land for themselves;

a leader’s share was assigned to them.

When the leaders of the people were assembled,

they carried out the Lord’s justice

and obeyed his regulations for Israel.”

21 He provided the first part for himself,

Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.

He came with the heads of the people;

He administered the justice of the Lord,

And His judgments with Israel.”

21 They chose the best land for themselves.

They received a large share, like that given to an officer.

When the leaders of the people gathered,

the people of Gad did what the Lord said was right,

and they judged Israel fairly.”

21 And he provided the first part for himself,

For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved;

And he came with the heads of the people;

He executed the righteousness of Jehovah,

And his ordinances with Israel.

21 And he provided the first part for himself, For there was reserved the portion of the lawgiver; And he came with the heads of the people; The justice of Jehovah and his judgments Hath he executed with Israel.

21 They chose the best land for themselves. 

Indeed, a commander’s piece of land was reserved for them. 

They were leaders of the people 

and did for Israel what the Lord considers fair and honorable.” 

21 He chose the best part for himself,

because a ruler’s portion was assigned there for him.

He came with the leaders of the people;

he carried out the Lord’s justice

and His ordinances for Israel.

21 He chose the best for himself,

for there a commander’s allotment was reserved;

he came at the head of the people,

he executed the justice of the Lord,

and his ordinances for Israel.

21 And he selected the best part for himself,

for there the portion of a ruler is included,

and he came with the heads of the people;

he did the righteousness of Yahweh,

and his regulations for Israel.”

21 He chose the best land for his livestock.

The leader’s share was kept for him.

The leaders of the people came together.

Then Gad carried out the Lord’s holy plan.

He carried out the Lord’s decisions for Israel.”

21 “Then he provided the first part for himself,

For there the ruler’s portion was reserved;

And he came with the leaders of the people;

He executed the justice of the Lord,

And His ordinances with Israel.”
