Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the hall tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, - as Moses had spoken unto them: about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.

So I commanded you, at that time saying, - Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour, Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle - I know that ye have much cattle - shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you; until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying: Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, - Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land. Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, - but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, - all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them; read more.
until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, - then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.

Then responded they to Joshua, saying, - All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go: As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, - only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, - only be firm and bold.

Then, called Joshua - for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites, - and for the half tribe of Manasseh; and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, - and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you: ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, - but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God. read more.
Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, - now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan. Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you - to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, - and to serve him - with all your heart, and with all your soul. So Joshua blessed them, - and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.
