Numbers 32:1-5

1The sons of Reuben and Gad had very large herds and flocks, and, they saw that the territory of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for livestock.

2So the sons of Reuben and Gad came and said to Moses, Eleazar the kohen, and the princes of the community saying,

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

4the territory Adonai conquered before the community of Israel—are suitable for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”

5Then they said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this territory be given to your servants as a possession. Don’t make us cross the Jordan.”
