Numbers 32:1-5 ▼

1 The Reubenites and Gadites had a very large number of livestock. When they surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, they saw that the region was a good one for livestock.

2 So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the leaders of the community and said,

3 “The territory of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

4 which the LORD struck down before the community of Israel, is good land for livestock, and your servants own livestock.”

5 They said, “If we have found favor with you, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don’t make us cross the Jordan.”
