Numbers 32:1-5 Now, much cattle, had come into the possession of the sons of Reuben, and of the sons of Gad, an exceeding mighty number. And, when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, lo! the place, was a place for cattle.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now, much cattle, had come into the possession of the sons of Reuben, and of the sons of Gad, an exceeding mighty number. And, when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, lo! the place, was a place for cattle. ² So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came in,––and spake unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of assembly, saying, ³ As touching Ataroth and Dibon, and Jazer and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh,––and Sebam and Nebo, and Beon–– ⁴ the land which Yahweh smote before the assembly of Israel, a land for cattle, it is,––and, thy servants, have cattle. ⁵ And they said–– If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land be given unto thy servants, for a possession,––do not take us over the Jordan.
