Do what you have promised

20And Moses said to them, “If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves before Yahweh for the war,”

21and every armed man among you crosses the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,

22and the land is subdued before Yahweh, then afterward you may return and be free of obligation to Yahweh and to Israel, and this land shall be yours as a possession before Yahweh.

23But if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and know that your sin will find you out.

24Build for yourselves cities for your little ones, and enclosures for your flocks, and do what has gone out from your mouth.

25Then the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben said to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do just as my lord commands.”

26Our little children, our wives, our livestock, and all our animals will remain there in the cities of Gilead.

27But your servants will cross over, every man armed for battle, before Yahweh for the war, just as my lord says.
