¹⁶ Why hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great `are' the searchings of heart!

²⁴ build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'

¹ And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place `is' a place `for' cattle;

² and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, saying:

³ `Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon --

⁴ the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'

⁵ And they say, `If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the Jordan.'

¹⁵ And princes in Issachar `are' with Deborah, Yea, Issachar `is' right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great `are' the decrees of heart!

⁴ `Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye `thus' in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

⁶ I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate, and my spirit doth search diligently:

⁴⁰ We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.

⁴¹ We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.

²¹ for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

¹⁹ whose end `is' destruction, whose god `is' the belly, and whose glory `is' in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
