Joshua 22:1-9
Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh
22aThen 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.” 9Then the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home and departed from the sons of Israel at Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the aland of Gilead, to the land of their possession which they had possessed, according to the 1command of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
