Numbers 32:1-5

Christian Standard Bible

Transjordan Settlements

32 The Reubenites and Gadites had a very large number of livestock. When they surveyed the lands of Jazer^(A) and Gilead, they saw that the region was a good one for livestock. ² So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, the priest Eleazar, and the leaders of the community and said, ³ “The territory of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam,^[a] Nebo, and Beon,^{(B) 4} which the Lord struck down^(C) before the community of Israel,^(D) is good land for livestock, and your servants own livestock.” ⁵ They said, “If we have found favor with you, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Don’t make us cross the Jordan.”
