13. Remember the word which Moses, the slave of the Lord, commanded you, saying, The Lord your God has given you rest and has given you this land.
14. Your wives, your little ones, and your beasts shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan; but ye, all the mighty men of valour, shall pass before your brethren armed and help them
15. until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as he has given you and they also inherit the land which the Lord your God gives them; then ye shall return unto the land of your inheritance and inherit it, which Moses the Lord’s slave has given you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrising.
16. Then they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and wherever thou dost send us, we will go.
17. According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee; only let the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18. Whoever rebels against thy commandment and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou doest command him, let him die; only be strong and of a good courage.
