04:031:054 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains
           of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the
           tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the
           children of Israel before the lord.

04:032:001 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very
           great multitude of cattle:  and when they saw the land of
           Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a
           place for cattle;

04:032:002 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake
           unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of
           the congregation, saying,

04:032:003 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
           Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

04:032:004 Even the country which the lord smote before the congregation
           of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: 

04:032:005 Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let
           this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and
           bring us not over Jordan.

04:032:006 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of
           Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

04:032:007 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of
           Israel from going over into the land which the lord hath given
           them?

04:032:008 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to
           see the land.

04:032:009 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the
           land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel,
           that they should not go into the land which the lord had given
           them.

04:032:010 And the LORD’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,
           saying,

04:032:011 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty
           years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto
           Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not
           wholly followed me: 

04:032:012 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the
           son of Nun:  for they have wholly followed the lord.

04:032:013 And the LORD’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made
           them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the
           generation, that had done evil in the sight of the lord, was
           consumed.

04:032:014 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an
           increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the
           lord toward Israel.

04:032:015 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave
           them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
