Numbers 32:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² and the land is subdued before the Lord; then after that you shall return and be free of obligation to the Lord and to Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord. ²³ But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord; and be sure your sin will find you out. ²⁴ Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do what you have promised.”
