1Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

2And he said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and you have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.”

3You have not forsaken your brothers these many days, up to this day, and you have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

4And now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, just as he spoke to them. So now turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.

5Only be very careful to do the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you: to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to cling to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

6Then Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
