Joshua 1:12–18

¹²And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, ¹³Remember the word which ^uMoses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. ¹⁴Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren ^†armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; ^15uUntil the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth them: ^xthen ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. ¹⁶And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. ¹⁷According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God ^ybe with thee, as he was with Moses. ¹⁸Whosoever he be that doth ^zrebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only ^abe strong and of a good courage.
