16And they come nigh unto him, and say, `Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;
17and we -- we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;
18we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,
19for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun]-rising.`
20And Moses saith unto them, `If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,
21and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before Him,
22and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah -- then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.
