Numbers 32:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ But we will prepare ourselves for battle. We’re even ready to go ahead of the Israelites. We’ll march out with them until we’ve brought them to their place. While we’re gone, our women and children will live in cities that have high walls around them. That will keep them safe from the people living in this land. ¹⁸ We won’t return to our homes until each of the Israelites has received their share of the land. ¹⁹ We won’t receive any share with them on the west side of the Jordan River. We’ve already received our share here on the east side.”
