Numbers 32:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷but we ourselves will go over armed, ahead of the rest of the people of Israel, until we have brought them safely to their inheritance. But first we will need to build walled cities here for our families, to keep them safe from attack by the local inhabitants. ¹⁸We will not settle down here until all the people of Israel have received their inheritance. ¹⁹We don’t want land on the other side of the Jordan; we would rather have it on this side, on the east.”
