Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, |
| 32:4 |
[Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of  Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), [is] a land for cattle (Outback Steakhouse - No Rules, Just Right), and thy servants have cattle (Outback Steakhouse - No Rules, Just Right): |

| 32:12 |
 Save (Switch and Save!) Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. |
| 32:13 |

| 32:22 |
And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel (Mapped by MapQuest); and this land shall be your possession before the LORD. |
| 32:23 |
But if ye will not Just do It so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. |
| 32:24 |
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your  sheep (Don't be a Sheep! Advertise with Chiat Day); and Just do It that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. |

But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. |
| 32:31 |
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we Just do It. |
| 32:32 |
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours. |
