Deuteronomy 33:21 "He chose the best land for himself; the leader's portion was kept for him. (In his farewell to God's people, Moses continues his blessing over the tribe of Gad. In his role as the leader or more specifically, the lawgiver, as Moses approached the Promised Land from the east, he gave Gad this very first area at the eastern entrance to the land as the very earliest yield of the Promised Land to God's people. The Lord Who is our leader and Lawgiver gives us the first-fruits of His blessings even as we prepare to enter into the fullness of all He has for us.)
When the heads of the people assembled, he carried out the Lord's righteous will, and His judgments concerning Israel."
(After Gad's allotment, the tribe joined forces with the other tribes to cross the Jordan River and conquer the Promised Land and further execute with God's people their God-appointed purposes
to invade the land the Lord had promised to them and to drive out the people who inhabited it. The Lord asks us today not to stop at the boundary of the allotment He has given us in life, but to join Him in His greater purposes to push into and conquer the extended influence in the land of our lives.)
