Reuben, Gad and our SS Lesson

Post by Signtist »

Is there anyone who actually thinks that these guys were as righteous as the CLP Sunday School book made them out to be? Numbers 32 is the background. Virtually every commentator, sermon, and Jewish writer that touches on the story has negative things to say. Even Brother Matthew Henry suggested that the lust of the eye was a factor in their decision to stay east of Jordan. Who told them that their inheritance lay east of Canaan? Maybe it's just me, but I think Moses had reason to be suspicious of these guys.
