And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that it was indeed a place suitable for livestock, 2so the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, 3"Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon, 4the land, which Yahweh struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock." 5And they said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession; do not take us across the Jordan." 6But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to war while you yourselves sit here? 7Now why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which Yahweh has given them? 8This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9Indeed they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, and they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which Yahweh had given them. 10So Yahweh's anger burned in that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
