Numbers 32:17

¹⁵  For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

¹⁶  And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

¹⁷  But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁸  We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

¹⁹  For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
