Tribes beyond Jordan Return

22 ^(A)Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ² and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, ^(B)and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you. ³ You have not abandoned your brothers these many days to this day, but have fulfilled the obligation of the commandment of the Lord your God. ⁴ And now ^(C)the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them; therefore turn now and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan. ⁵ Only be very careful to ^[a]follow the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to ^(D)love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and cling to Him, and serve Him ^(E)with all your heart and with all your soul.” ⁶ So Joshua ^(F)blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

⁷ Now ^(G)to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but ^(H)to the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he also blessed them, ⁸ and said to ^[b]them, “Return to your tents with great riches and with very many livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and with very many clothes; ^(I)divide the spoils of your enemies with your brothers.” ⁹ So the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home, ^[c]leaving the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the ^(J)land of Gilead, to the land of their possession in which they had settled, in accordance with the ^[d]command of the Lord ^[e]through Moses.
