1. Then Joshua called together the people of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh.
2. He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses the Lord's servant ordered you to do, and you have obeyed all my commands.
3. All this time you have never once deserted your fellow-Israelites. You have been careful to obey the commands of the Lord your God.
4. Now, as he promised, the Lord your God has given your fellow-Israelites peace. So go back home to the land which you claimed for your own, the land on the east side of the Jordan, that Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you.
5. Make sure you obey the law that Moses commanded you: love the Lord your God, do his will, obey his commandments, be faithful to him, and serve him with all your heart and soul.”
