Numbers 32:5
"That any Israelite tribe should consider settling outside the land promised to Abraham showed a disturbing indifference to the divine word, the word on which Israel’s existence entirely depended." - Gordon Wenham
"But it was, in a sense, the fringe of the garment. It was not the heart and soul of the land. To settle in the fringes was a mixed blessing…. because they were somewhat removed from the center of the life of the land, they were the most prone to be influenced by outsiders." - David Allen

Numbers 32:42
According Bible commentary, Nobah, an important person of the tribe of Manasseh and named nowhere else in the Bible.
Wendy, don’t stop short of the plan God has for you.
