  • Josh 22:1-9 : 1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 2 He said to them, 'You have kept all that Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you and have obeyed my voice in everything I commanded you.' 3 You have not abandoned your brothers these many days up until today, but you have been careful to keep the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God. 4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, just as He promised them. So now turn and go back to your tents in the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave you beyond the Jordan. 5 But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul. 6 So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents. 7 To the half-tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given an inheritance in Bashan, and to the other half, Joshua gave an inheritance alongside their brothers west of the Jordan. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them. 8 He said to them, 'Return to your tents with much wealth—many possessions, livestock, silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a great quantity of clothing. Divide the plunder from your enemies with your brothers.' 9 So the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the other Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, the land of their possession, which they had acquired at the command of the LORD through Moses.

But you, all your strong warriors, fully armed, must cross ahead of your brothers and help them. 15 Until the LORD gives your brothers rest, as He has given you, and they also take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving them, then you may return to the land of your possession and settle it—the land that Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.
