Numbers 32:1-5

1Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle,

2the Gadites and the Reubenites came and addressed Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community. They said,

3“Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,

4the land that the Lord subdued before the community of Israel, is ideal for cattle, and your servants have cattle.”

5So they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for our inheritance. Do not have us cross the Jordan River.”
