Numbers 32:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ We will still arm ourselves, going before the people of Israel, to bring them into their dwelling place. Our little ones will be sheltered from the inhabitants of the land in the fortified cities. ¹⁸ We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has received his inheritance. ¹⁹ We will not take an inheritance on the other side of the Jordan, for it has fallen to us to have an inheritance on this side of the Jordan, on the east.”
