So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

But he said to them, “The Lord be with you, if ever I let you and your little ones go! Look, you have some evil purpose in mind.

Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; your little ones also may go with you; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind.”

Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep, and do what you have promised.”

Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead,

And as for your little ones, who you said would become a prey, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there. And to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.

Only your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given you,

but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you.

your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,

Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law,

Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brothers and shall help them,
