You will cause the Lord to be even more angry with the Israelites. 15If you turn against him, he will leave them here in the desert. If all the Israelite people die, it will be because of you!’ 16The men of Reuben and Gad said to Moses, ‘Let us build strong houses here for our women and our children.
