The Request for Land East of Jordan
Numbers 32:1-5
1
Now the Reubenites and Gadites, who had very large herds and flocks, surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, and they saw that the region was suitable for livestock.
2
So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, and said,
3
“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4
which the LORD conquered before the congregation of Israel, are suitable for livestock—and your servants have livestock.”
5
“If we have found favor in your sight,” they said, “let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not make us cross the Jordan.”
