Numbers 32:16-19

16Then they came near to him and said, “We will build here sheepfolds for our livestock and cities for our little ones; 171but we ourselves will be armed ready to go before the sons of Israel, until we have brought them to their place, while our little ones live in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land. 182We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance. 19For we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us 3on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”
