Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the Lord has promised good to Israel." ^{30 (J)} But he said to him, "I will not go. I will depart to my own land and to my kindred." ^{31 (J)} And he said, "Please do not leave us, for you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will serve as eyes for us. ^{32 (J)} And if you do go with us, whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same will we do to you."
