1. THEN JOSHUA called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2. And said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3. You have not deserted your brethren [the other tribes] these many days to this day but have carefully kept the charge of the Lord your God.
4. But now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; so now go, return to your homes in the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the [east] side of the Jordan.
