1.

Ramban #1: Bearing in mind that Moshe had only given Gad and Reuven the towns of Sichon and Og in the land of Gil'ad that were good grazing-grounds, 1 he stipulated that if they cross over the Yarden with the rest of Yisrael, they should receive the entire land, whereas in the event that they don't, they should take away the towns that they already owned and expel their women and children and assign a proper portion for them in Eretz Yisrael, that they will conquer for themselves when they decide to come.
