the brotherhood headquarters here,
violently attacked the board for its
delay; admitted that the brother

hold the men in check if wage in

of wage adjustment provided under

OF InOuSdnuS dnurOI HuHuTeuS, ana
brought it for memorial for the
children of Israel before the Lord.
CHAPTER 80.
The Reubenites and Gadites sue for
their inheritance that side Jordan.
6 Moses reproveth th'm. IS They offer
him conditions 10 his content. 80 Mo-
ses assigneth them the land. 80 They
conquer it.
Now the children of Reuben and
the children of Cad had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they
saw the land of Jazer, and the land
of Gilead, that, behold, the place
was a place for cattle:
The children of Cad and the
children of Reuben came and Spake
unto Moses, and to Eleazar the
priest, and unto the princes of the
congregation, saying,
Ataroth. and Dibon, and Jazer,
and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo,
and Boon,
Even the country which the
Lord smote before the Congregation
of Israel. is a land for cattle, and
thy servants have cattle:
Wherefore, said they, il we
have found grace in thy sight, let
this land be given unto thy servants
for a possession, and bring us not
over Jordan.
And Moses said unto the
children of Cad and to the children
of Reuben, Shall your brethren go
to war, and shall ye sit here?
And wherefore discourage We
the heart of the children of Israel
from going over into the land which
the Lord hath given them?
Thus did your fathers. when
sent them from Kadesh- h-barnea to
see the land.
8 For when they went up unto
the valley of Eshcol, and saw the
land, they discouraged the heart of
the children of Israel, that they
should not go into the land which
the Lord had given them.
10 And the Lords anger was
kindled the same time, and he
-sware, saying,
IL Surely none of the men that
came up out of Egypt, from twenty
years old and upward. shall see the
land which / sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob: because
they have not wholly followed me:
IL Save Caleb the son of Jeohun-
neh the Kenezite, and Joshua the
SON OF Nun; for they have wholly
followed the Lord.
13 And the Lords anger was
kfndled against Israel, and he made
them wander in the Wilderness forty
years. until all the generation. that
had done evil in the sight of the
Lord, was consumed.
. IA And, behold, ye are risen rp in
Your fathers stead, an increase of
sinful meus to augment yet the
fierce anger OF the Lord toward
Israel.
10 For II ye turn away from
after him. he will yet again leave
them In the wilderness. and ye shall
destroy all this people.
