1Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh and told them: “You have carried out all the instructions of Moses the Lord’s servant, and you have obeyed all I have told you. 3You have not abandoned your fellow Israelites this entire time, right up to this very day.

So now you may turn around and go to your homes in your own land which Moses the Lord’s servant assigned to you east of the Jordan.
