When they take possession of the territory that the LORD your God is about to give them on the other side of the Jordan River, then each of you may return to the territory that I've allotted for you.'

Joshua told the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, "Remember what Moses commanded you when he said, "The LORD your God will provide you rest, as well as this land.' Your wives, your young children, and your livestock will remain in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan River, but you and all your warriors will cross, ready for battle, in full view of your relatives, and you will help them read more.

Only be strong and courageous."

You haven't abandoned your relatives these past days to the present, and you have met the obligation contained in the commands of the LORD your God. read more.
Now the LORD has given peace to your relatives, just as he told them. Therefore, proceed to your tents to the land that is yours to possess that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan River.

That's how Joshua blessed them. Then he sent them on their way and they returned to their tents.
