5. Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in your sight, let this land be given unto your servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
6. And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall you sit here?
7. And why discourage you the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
