Then Joshua called for the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

and said to them, You have done all that which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you. And you have listened to my voice, to all that I have commanded you.

You have not left your brothers these many days until today, and have kept the observance of the command of Jehovah your God.

And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them. And now you turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan.

Only, be very much on guard to do the commands and the Law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him with allyour heart and with all your soul.

And Joshua blessed them and sent them away. And they went to their tents.

And to the half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given possession in Bashan. And to its other half Joshua had given possession with their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Andalso when Joshua had sent them away to theirtents, then he blessed them.

And he spoke to them, saying, You are returning to your tents with great treasures, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with much clothing.Divide the spoil of your enemies withyour brothers.

And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh turned and left the sons of Israel from Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession in which they have possession,according to the command of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.
