Deuteronomy 3:18-22

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ At that time I gave you this command: “The Lord your God has given you this land as your own. Now your fighting men must take their weapons. And you must lead the other Israelites across the river. ¹⁹ Your wives, your young children and your cattle may stay here. I know you have many cattle. They may stay here in the cities I have given you. ²⁰ Some day your Israelite relatives will also have a place to rest. They will receive the land the Lord your God has given them. It is on the other side of the Jordan River. After that, you may each return to the land I have given you.”

²¹ Then I gave this command to Joshua: “You have seen for yourself what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. The Lord will do the same thing to all the kingdoms where you are going. ²² Don’t be afraid of them. The Lord your God will fight for you.”
