Numbers 32:5

WEB

They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."

KJV

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.

Commentary

Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight,.... Directing their speech to Moses, the ruler of th e congregation, in a very modest, decent, and respectable manner: let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; as their own portion and inheritance, to be enjoyed by them, and their children after them: and bring us not over Jordan; into the land of Canaan, where as they after explain themselves, they did not desire to have any part with their brethren, but should be content with their possession here, should it be granted them.
