Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 32:31
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
As the Lord hath said; either at this time by thy mouth; or formerly, where he commandeth us as well as our brethren to go into Canaan and possess it.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered,…., The word is in the singular number, and shows their unanimity, that they agreed to what Moses said, and replied all of them as one man, as Jarchi expresses it; and it may be there was one that was the mouth of them all, and answered for them:
saying, as the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do; here they make use of the word Jehovah, taking what Moses had said unto them as from the Lord, and therefore should strictly and punctually observe it, as if they heard the Lord himself speak it.

The Gadites and Reubenites repeated their promise once more (Num 32:25), and added still further (Num 32:32): “ We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and let our inheritance be with us (i.e., remain to us) beyond the Jordan.”

The terms are again, as it were, ratified and confirmed on both sides, and the LORD himself is considered as looking on. It is well when all church concerns are thus arranged and settled under the great Head of his church. Mat 28:20 .
