Joshua 22:1–8

Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh

^1aThen Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

²and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you ^aand have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

³“You have not forsaken your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the responsibility of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

⁴“And now ^aYahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them; so now turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.

⁵“Only keep yourselves very carefully to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to ^alove Yahweh your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and cling to Him and serve Him ^bwith all your heart and with all your soul.”

⁶Then Joshua ^ablessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

⁷Now ^ato the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but ^bto the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

⁸and spoke to them, saying, “Return to your tents with great riches and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and with very many clothes; ^adivide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”
