Bamidbar 32:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ And they came near unto him, and said, We will build gidrot tzon here for our mikneh, and towns for our little ones;

¹⁷ But we ourselves will go ready armed ahead of the Bnei Yisroel, until we have brought them unto their makom; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of HaAretz.

¹⁸ We will not return unto bateinu, until the Bnei Yisroel have inherited every ish his nachalah.
