Numbers 32:6

⁴  Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

⁵  Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

⁶  And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to 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 the LORD hath given them?

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