CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The abundance of cattle which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had came to be very substantial. Now they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold, the place was a place for cattle. ² So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest and to the princes of the congregation, saying. ³ Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo and Beon, ⁴ the land which Yahweh smote before the congregation of Israel, it is cattle land, and your servants have cattle. ⁵ They also said:If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants for a holding; do not make us cross over the Jordan. ⁶ Then Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben:Your brothers, shall they come to the war while you dwell here?
