14. Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valour, and shall help them
15. until the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the Lord your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan towards the sunrise.’”
16. They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17. Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18. Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn’t listen to your words in all that you command him shall himself be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
