The Tribes Offer a Compromise

Numbers 32:16-19

But they came up to him and said, "Here we will build enclosures for our livestock and cities for our little ones,

but we ourselves will be armed and ready for action to march at the head of the people of Isra'el, until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones will stay in the fortified cities here because of the people now living in the land.

However, we will not return to our own homes until every man in Isra'el has taken possession of his land for inheritance.

We will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Yarden, westward; because our inheritance has fallen to us on this side of the Yarden, eastward."
