Numbers 32:16-19

16Then they approached him and said, “We will build sheepfolds for our livestock here and cities for our little ones; 171but we ourselves will be armed, hurrying ahead of 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 gained possession of his inheritance. 19But we will not have an inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us 3on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”
