¹ Now the Reubenites and the Gadites possessed a very large number of cattle. When they saw that the lands of Jazer and Gilead were ideal for cattle, ² 

Our children, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead,

but those ¹  who did not take ²  the word of the Lord seriously left their servants and their cattle ³  in the field.

You will be blessed beyond all peoples; there will be no barrenness ¹  among you or your livestock.

But Israel did plunder the cattle and the goods of the city, in accordance with the Lord’s orders to Joshua. ¹
