12But to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
14Your wives, your young children, and your livestock may remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But all your mighty men of valor must be armed for battle to cross over ahead of your brothers and help them,
15until the LORD gives them rest as He has done for you, and your brothers also possess the land that the LORD your God is giving them. Then you may return to the land of your inheritance and take possession of that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the east side of the Jordan.”
16So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
17Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
18Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”
— Joshua 1:12-18
