Context of Joshua 1:17

15until the Lord gives your brothers a place like yours to settle and they conquer the land the Lord your God is ready to hand over to them. Then you may go back to your allotted land and occupy the land Moses the Lord’s servant assigned you east of the Jordan.” 16They told Joshua, “We will do everything you say. We will go wherever you send us. Just as we obeyed Moses, so we will obey you.
