Numbers 32:16 in Context — Numbers 32

14 E eis que vós sucedestes em lugar de vossos pais, descendência de homens pecadores, para acrescentar ainda à ira do SENHOR contra Israel.

15 Se vos deixardes de segui-lo, ele voltará outra vez a deixar-vos no deserto, e destruireis a todo este povo.

16 Então eles se achegaram a ele e disseram: Edificaremos aqui currais para nosso gado, e cidades para nossas crianças;

17 E nós nos armaremos, e iremos com empenho diante dos filhos de Israel, até que os ponhamos em seu lugar; e nossas crianças ficarão em cidades fortes por causa dos moradores da terra.

18 Não voltaremos a nossas casas até que os filhos de Israel possuam cada um sua herança.
