VIN⁽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 came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said: ³ "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, ⁴ the land that the LORD struck before the community of Israel, is a land of livestock, and your servants have livestock." ⁵ And they said, If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants for a possession. Do not make us pass over the Jordan. ⁶ Whereupon Moses said to the Gadites and the Reubenites, Must your brethren go to war, and you sit still here?
