New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁵ Then the Gadites and the Reubenites said to Moses, ‘Your servants will do as my lord commands. ²⁶ Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock shall remain there in the towns of Gilead; ²⁷ but your servants will cross over, everyone armed for war, to do battle for the Lord, just as my lord orders.’
