1. The Reubenites and Gadites had a very large number of livestock. When they surveyed the lands of Jazer and Gilead, they saw that the region was a good one for livestock.
2. So the Gadites and Reubenites came to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community and said:
3. “The territory of Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4. which the Lord struck down before the community of Israel, is good land for livestock, and your servants own livestock.”
