Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ² the Reubenites and the Gadites came to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the chiefs of the congregation and said, ³ Ataroth, and Daibon, and Jazer, and Namra, and Esebon, and Eleale, and Sebama, and Nabo, and Baian, ⁴ the land which the Lord delivered up before the children of Israel, is a land fit for raising stock, and thy servants have cattle; ⁵ if therefore, said they, we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and cause us not to cross the Jordan. ⁶ Whereupon Moses said to the Gadites and the Reubenites, Must your brethren go to war, and you sit still here? ⁷ Besides, why do you divert the thoughts of the Israelites from crossing over into the land which the Lord giveth them? ⁸ Did not your fathers do so, when I sent them from Kades-Barne to view the land? ⁹ When they had passed through the valley of grapes, and viewed the land, they discouraged the heart of the Israelites from going to the land which the Lord gave them; ¹⁰ and the anger of the Lord was kindled that day, and he sware saying, ¹¹ These men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upwards, who know good and evil, shall not see the land, which I with an oath promised to Abraham, and Isaak, and Jacob; [for they have not followed me] ¹² save Chaleb, son of Jephonne, who separated himself from them, and Joshua, son of Nave, because they followed the Lord. ¹³ So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he led them about in the wilderness forty years, until all that generation, who had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed. ¹⁴ Behold you are risen up in your fathers' stead, a set of sinful men, to augment the wrath of the Lord against Israel.
