Joshua 1:14-16

Lexham English Bible

All of the best fighting men^[a] will cross armed in front of your families; they will help you ¹⁵ until Yahweh gives rest to your families as well as to you. They will take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving to them. Then you will return to your own land and take possession of it, the land that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan to the east.”^{[b] 16} And they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you will send us we will go.
