⁶ But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Shall your brethren go to the war while you sit here? ⁷ Why will you discourage the heart of the people of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord has given them? ⁸ Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Ka′desh-bar′nea to see the land.
