Numbers 32:3

¹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a multitude of cattle, very great; and they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead; and the place was a place for cattle:

²and the children of Reuben and the children of Gad came, and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,

— Numbers 32:3 —

⁴the land which the Lord has delivered up before the children of Israel, is pasture land, and thy servants have cattle.

⁵And they said, If we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and do not cause us to pass over Jordan.
