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 spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
3
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
4
the land which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and your servants have cattle.
5
They said, If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; don`t bring us over the Jordan.
6
Moses said to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
