Numbers 32:5-7

Young's Literal Translation

⁵ And they say, `If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'

⁶ And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, `Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye -- do ye sit here?

⁷ and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?
