Numbers 32:1-5

NSB(i) 1 The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a large number of livestock. They saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was indeed a place suitable for livestock. 2 They approached Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the leaders of the congregation and said: 3 »Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4 the land Jehovah won for the congregation of Israel, is a good place for livestock. Gentlemen, we have livestock.« 5 »Please give us this land as our property. Do not make us cross the Jordan River.«
