Commentaire sur Les Nombres 32:18
לֹ֥א נָשׁ֖וּב אֶל־בָּתֵּ֑ינוּ עַ֗ד הִתְנַחֵל֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אִ֖ישׁ נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
Nous ne rentrerons pas dans nos foyers, que les enfants d’Israël n’aient pris possession chacun de son héritage.
Haamek Davar on Numbers
We will not return. The other tribes could still have a claim against us—that we received our hereditary property before them—because during the years of dividing the Land they will not be able to do anything for the sake of their portion, and yet we have already chosen ours. Therefore, we promise that we will not return to our homes until after the division.
