because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward;
they seem to speak as if they were assured of it, and that it was so ordered by divine Providence, and wanted nothing but the consent of Moses, and the princes of the congregation.

19 We won't expect any inheritance west of the Jordan; we are claiming all our inheritance east of the Jordan."
