The Tribes of Reuben and Gad requested permission from Moses to settle in the Transjordan territory (the region east of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea) that Israel had already conquered. But because all of Israel was to participate in the conquest of taking the Promised Land and their failing to help and support their fellow Israelites would only dishearten the remaining tribes, Moses sternly warned them against the sin of doing nothing. Moses also admonished them with the dire warning that if they failed to do God’s Will, “Be sure your sin will find you out.” So many times we think sin is doing something wrong…when sin can also be failing to do something we know we should do.
