18. We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited each one his inheritance.
19. For we will not inherit with them on yonder side the Jordan, and further, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side the Jordan eastward.
20. And Moses said to them, If ye do this thing, if ye arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,
21. and all of you that are armed go over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he have dispossessed his enemies from before him,
22. and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and afterwards ye return, ye shall be guiltless toward Jehovah and toward Israel, and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.
23. But if ye do not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and be sure your sin will find you out.
24. Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks, and do that which has gone out of your mouth.
