24Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”
25The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.
26Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
27But your servants are equipped for war, and every man will cross over to the battle before the LORD, just as our lord says.”
— Numbers 32:24-27
