The tribes of Reuben and Gad owned lots of cattle. Seeing that the eastern bank of the Yarden (river Jordan) , the lands of Sichon and Og
which they had just conquered , had abundant pasture, they asked Moshè
if they could remain and settle on the eastern bank. Moshè angrily
responds that they are following in the footsteps of the spies who were
fearful of the Canaanites, did not want to enter the land of Israel, and
discouraged the entire nation from doing so. The Reubenites and
Gaddites respond that they will leave their cattle and families behind
in fortified cities, and all their men will proceed into Israel with
their brethren and lead them in the conquest of the land. Only after all
the land has been conquered and settled would they return to the other
side of the Yarden.
So this week we focused on the Jordan River painting river pebbles, making a mosaic of river pebbles and preparing a bottle with water from the river
