Numbers 32:1-9 ▼

1 And much cattle was to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad exceedingly strong: and they will see the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place a place of cattle.

2 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will come and will say to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the chiefs of the assembly, saying,

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

4 The land which Jehovah smote before the assembly of Israel, it is a land of cattle, and to thy servants are cattle.

5 And they will say, If we found grace in thine eyes, will this land be given to thy servants for a possession; ye will not cause us to pass over Jordan.

6 And Moses will say to the sons of Gad And to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go forth to battle, and will ye sit here?

7 And wherefore will ye hinder the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over to the land which Jehovah gave to them?

8 So did your fathers in my sending them from Kadesh-Barnea to see the land.

9 And they will go up to the valley of Eshcol, and will see the land, and hinder the heart of the sons of Israel not to go to the land which Jehovah gave to them.
