1. NOW THE sons of Reuben and of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle, and they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead [on the east side of the Jordan], and behold, the place was suitable for cattle.
2. So the sons of Gad and of Reuben came and said to Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation,
3. [The country around] Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon,
4. The land the Lord smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.
