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

and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, - and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you:

ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, - but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, - now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan.

Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you - to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, - and to serve him - with all your heart, and with all your soul.

So Joshua blessed them, - and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.

Now, unto the one half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the other half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward, - moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them,

and spake unto them, saying - With much wealth, return ye unto your homes, even with very much cattle, with silver and with gold, and with copper and with iron, and with very much raiment, - divide ye the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan, - to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
