Definition: For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

Explanation: Okay, let's break down this verse from Numbers 32:19. It’s a really important passage about God’s plan for the Israelites and their future. Here’s what it means in simpler terms: The Basic Idea: God is choosing to stay on the side of the Jordan River that he's already established as his own territory. He doesn’t want to inherit anything with the people who are moving further east along the riverbank. Let’s unpack it piece by piece: “For we will not inherit…” : This means God is choosing not to claim a place for himself or his people in the future. It's about avoiding a future land or position of ownership. “…with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward” : "Yonder side" refers to the side of the Jordan River that God has already established as his territory – a place he’s given to himself and his people. “Forward” means moving east. So, God isn't going to expand into a new area alongside those who are already there. “Because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.” : This is the key part. "Inheritance" means a place or possession. God says his inheritance (his land and people) is already in place on this side of the Jordan River – that’s where he's already settled. “Fallened” means lost or abandoned. It means the area has been taken over by others, leaving him with a space for himself. What does it mean practically? This verse speaks to a few important things: God’s Sovereignty: It shows that God is in control and doesn't want to be involved in new territories or possessions. Protection: It emphasizes that God will remain safe and secure on his established side of the Jordan River. Focus on the Present: It encourages a focus on what God has already given him – his people and his land. In short, this verse is about God choosing to stay where he’s already placed, protecting his people from expansion. --- Do you want me to: Explain another part of the scripture?
