Numbers 32:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness, and ye shall destroy all this people.”

¹⁶ And they came near unto him and said, “We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks and cities for our little ones,

¹⁷ but we ourselves will go ready and armed before the children of Israel until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
