Joshua 22:1-9

1Joshua summoned the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh

2and told them, “You have done everything Moses the Lord’s servant commanded you and have obeyed me in everything I commanded you.

3You have not deserted your brothers even once this whole time but have carried out the requirement of the command of the Lord your God.

4Now that he has given your brothers rest, just as he promised them, return to your homes in your own land that Moses the Lord’s servant gave you across the Jordan.

5Only carefully obey the command and instruction that Moses the Lord’s servant gave you: to love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, keep his commands, be loyal to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”

6Joshua blessed them and sent them on their way, and they went to their homes.

7Moses had given territory to half the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, but Joshua had given territory to the other half, with their brothers, on the west side of the Jordan. When Joshua sent them to their homes and blessed them,

8he said, “Return to your homes with great wealth: a huge number of cattle, and silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a large quantity of clothing. Share the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”

9The Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to return to their own land of Gilead, which they took possession of according to the Lord’s command through Moses.
