Numbers 32:5

2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,

3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 the land which Jehovah smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle.

5 And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.

6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

7 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Jehovah hath given them?

8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
