Numbers 32:24-27

Thomson(i) 24 Build therefore cities for your families, and sheepcots for your cattle, and perform what hath proceeded out of your mouth. 25 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad spake to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as our Lord commandeth; 26 our families, and our wives, and our cattle, shall remain in the cities of Galaad; 27 but we thy servants will cross over, all armed, and arrayed for battle before the Lord, as our lord saith.
