¹⁵ If you turn against him, he will leave them here in the desert. If all the Israelite people die, it will be because of you!’

¹⁶ The men of Reuben and Gad said to Moses, ‘Let us build strong houses here for our women and our children. We will also build places to keep our animals safe. ¹⁷ Then we will be ready to join the other tribes and we will lead them to the battle. While we are fighting, our families will be safe here. The people who live in this land will not be able to hurt them.
