Numbers 32:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And they went near to him, and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our sheep, for our cattle, and cities for our children.

¹⁷ “But we ourselves will be ready, armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place. But our children shall dwell in the defensed cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁸ “We will not return to our houses until the children of Israel have inherited, every man his inheritance.
