Numbers 32:24

Words and speechIntegrity

22 then when the land is subdued before the LORD, you may return and be free of obligation to the LORD and to Israel. And this land will belong to you as a possession before the LORD.

23 But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

Build cities for your little ones and folds for your flocks, but do what you have promised.”

25 The Gadites and Reubenites said to Moses, “Your servants will do just as our lord commands.

26 Our children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain here in the cities of Gilead.
