20 Moses replied to them: “If you will do this: Take up arms before Jehovah for the war;+ 21 and if every one of you takes up arms and crosses the Jordan before Jehovah as he drives away his enemies from before him+ 22 until the land is subdued before Jehovah,+ afterward you may return+ and be free from guilt before Jehovah and Israel. Then this land will become your possession before Jehovah.+

22 Then Joshua summoned the Reuʹben·ites, the Gadʹites, and the half tribe of Ma·nasʹseh 2 and said to them: “You have done all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you,+ and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.+ 3 You have not forsaken your brothers all this time, down to this day;+ and you have kept the obligation of the commandment of Jehovah your God.+ 4 Now Jehovah your God has given your brothers rest, just as he promised them.+ So now you may return to your tents in the land that Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you to possess on the other side* of the Jordan.+
