1 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad had a very large number of livestock. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, and behold it was a place for livestock.
2 The descendants of Gad and the descendants of Reuben came, and they said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the community, saying,
3 “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4 the land that Yahweh struck before the community of Israel, is a land of livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
5 They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as property; do not lead us across the Jordan.”
