16. And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon, half the valley for a border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the sons of Ammon,
17. the plain also and the Jordan and the border thereof from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
18. And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass armed before your brethren, the sons of Israel, all that are valiant.
19. Only your wives and your little ones and your livestock (for I know that ye have much livestock) shall abide in your cities which I have given you
20. until the Lord has given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also inherit the land which the Lord your God has given them beyond the Jordan; then shall ye return each man unto his possession, which I have given you.
21. And I also commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done unto these two kings, so shall the Lord do unto all the kingdoms where thou passest.
22. Ye shall not fear them, for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you.
23. And I besought the Lord at that time, saying,
24. O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy slave thy greatness and thy mighty hand; for what God is there in heaven or in earth that can do according to thy works and according to thy mighty acts?
25. I pray thee, let me go over and see that good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain and Lebanon.
26. But the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me, and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
27. Climb up into the top of Pisgah and lift up thine eyes westward and towards the Aquilon and towards the Negev and eastward and behold it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
28. But charge Joshua and encourage him and comfort him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
29. So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
