“And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.”
he said to them, 'Return with much wealth to your tents, with very many cattle, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.' — The eastern tribes depart enriched by the conquest. The enumeration of wealth (cattle, precious metals, clothing) reflects the spoils accumulated through military service. Theologically, covenant military service results in material blessing; the LORD rewards those who fight His wars.
