Reuben and Gad Settle in Gilead

32 Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had an ^(A)exceedingly large number of livestock. So when they saw the land of ^(B)Jazer and the land of Gilead, that ^[a]it was indeed a place suitable for livestock, ² the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,

²⁴ Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and sheepfolds for your sheep, and ^(A)do ^[a]what you have promised.”

³⁶ and ^(A)Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran as fortified cities, and sheepfolds for sheep.
