Bamidbar 32:5-7

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ They said, If we have found chen in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy avadim for an achuzzah, and bring us not over Yarden.

⁶ And Moshe said unto the Bnei Gad and to the Bnei Reuven, Shall your achim go to milchamah while ye sit here?

⁷ And why discourage ye the lev Bnei Yisroel from going over into HaAretz which Hashem hath given them?
