Numbers 32:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Then our families will be in strong, walled cities. They will be safe from the people who live in this land. Then we will prepare for war. We will help the other Israelites get their land. ¹⁸ We will not return home until every Israelite has received his land. ¹⁹ We won’t take any of the land west of the Jordan River. Our part of the land is east of the Jordan.”
