³ “Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

⁴ even the country which the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.”

⁵ Therefore, said they, “If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over the Jordan.”
