Numbers 32:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ And behold, you are risen up in your fathers’ stead, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.

¹⁵ For if you turn from following Him, He will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people.

¹⁶ But they came near to him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our flocks and walled settlements for our little ones.
