Joshua 1:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ “so your wives and children and cattle may remain here, but your troops, fully armed, must lead the other tribes across the Jordan River to help them conquer their territory on the other side; ¹⁵ stay with them until they complete the conquest. Only then may you settle down here on the east side of the Jordan.”

¹⁶ To this they fully agreed and pledged themselves to obey Joshua as their commander-in-chief.
