Num.32 Verses 1 to 4

[1] Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
[2] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
[3] Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
[4] Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

If they had all things common, why would the children of Reuben and Gad be considered to have a great multitude of cattle?

If they had all things common they would have all had a great multitude of cattle to the same extent.

The increase of their cattle was great. What im saying is there was no marketplace to make money off of. So therefore no monetary plan given. Being agriculture, and cattle encompassed all increase..
