Then Moses said to them, “Do what you have promised to do. Get ready to fight for the Lord.
Prepare yourselves and go across the Jordan River. Fight for the Lord until he has driven out his enemies in front of him.
Joshua also spoke to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. He said to them,
Joshua sent for the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
So the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh went home. They left the other Israelites at Shiloh in Canaan. They returned to Gilead. That was their own land. They had acquired it according to the Lord’s command through Moses.
