Commentary for Numbers 32:26
טַפֵּ֣נוּ נָשֵׁ֔ינוּ מִקְנֵ֖נוּ וְכָל־בְּהֶמְתֵּ֑נוּ יִֽהְיוּ־שָׁ֖ם בְּעָרֵ֥י הַגִּלְעָֽד׃
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
Haamek Davar on Numbers
Our children, wives. One might have thought they would be afraid to leave their children and wives on the eastern side of the Yardein without any protection. Rather, they would take them with them until they returned. Therefore, they reiterated and explained that their trust in Hashem was so complete that they would leave their wives and children [even though all the armed men would cross over].
