Joshua 1:12-15
Contemporary English Version
12 (A) Joshua told the men of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh:[a]
13-14 The Lord's servant Moses said that the Lord our God has given you land here on the east side of the Jordan River, where you could live in peace. Your wives and children and your animals can stay here in the land Moses gave you. But all of you that can serve in our army must pick up your weapons and lead the men of the other tribes across the Jordan River. They are your relatives, so you must help them 15 conquer the land that the Lord is giving them. The Lord will give peace to them as he has given peace to you, and then you can come back and settle here in the land that Moses promised you.

Joshua 1:12-15
New International Version
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,(A) Joshua said, 13 “Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, ‘The Lord your God will give you rest(B) by giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives,(C) your children and your livestock may stay in the land(D) that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle,(E) must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites.(F) You are to help them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”(G)
