Numbers 32:15-19

For if you turn away from following Him, He will once more leave them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”

Then they approached him and said, “We will build sheepfolds for our livestock here and cities for our little ones;

but we ourselves will be armed, hurrying ahead of the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has gained possession of his inheritance.

But we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”
