“And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.”
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do — Reuben and Gad respond with final acceptance, invoking the divine dimension of the covenant: they will do "as the LORD hath said," treating their oath as divinely authorized. The appeal to the LORD's word transforms their commitment from mere political negotiation to sacred covenant.
