3 “Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 the land that YHWH defeated before the face of the congregation of Israel, it is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”

5 And they said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants as a possession, do not make us pass over the Jordan.”
