Numbers 32:16

¹⁴Behold, ye are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel.

¹⁵For ye will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and ye will sin against this whole congregation.

— Numbers 32:16 —

¹⁷and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁸We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance.
