16 They came near to him and said, “We will build sheep pens here for the flock of our livestock and cities for our little children; 17 but we ourselves will become armed and ready before the Israelites[a] until we have brought them to their place, and our little children will live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 18 We will not return to our houses until the Israelites[b] each obtain their[c] inheritance for themselves.

Hoffnung für Alle
16 Die Männer von Ruben und Gad wandten sich erneut an Mose und sagten: »Wir wollen doch nur Zäune für unsere Herden aufstellen und einige der zerstörten Orte wieder aufbauen, in denen wir unsere Familien zurücklassen können. 17 Das wird schnell gehen. Dann werden wir Männer uns zum Kampf rüsten. Wir werden an der Spitze des Heeres in den Krieg ziehen und die Israeliten in ihr Land bringen. Aber unsere Familien möchten wir in befestigten Städten zurücklassen, die vor den Bewohnern des Landes Schutz bieten. 18 Wir versprechen, dass wir nicht eher hierher zurückkehren, bis jeder Israelit seinen Grundbesitz erhalten hat.
