Numbers 32:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ Then we will be ready to join the other tribes and we will lead them to the battle. While we are fighting, our families will be safe here. The people who live in this land will not be able to hurt them. ¹⁸ We will not return to our homes here until all the Israelite tribes receive their own part of the land. ¹⁹ We will not receive any of the land on the other side of the Jordan River. Our part of the land will be here, on the east side of the river.’
