Numbers 32:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶ And they drew near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;

¹⁷ but we ourselves will go with diligence armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the strong cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

¹⁸ We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
