Numbers 32:16 WBT

¹⁴  And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.

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

¹⁶  And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds 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 to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.

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