43 ^rThus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. 44 ^sAnd the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. ^tNot one of all their enemies had withstood them, for ^uthe Lord had given all their enemies into their hands. 45 ^vNot one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.

The Eastern Tribes Return Home

1 At that time Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, 2 and said to them, “You have kept ^wall that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you ^xand have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you. 3 You have not forsaken your brothers these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the Lord your God. 4 ^yAnd now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land where your possession lies, ^zwhich Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the other side of the Jordan. 5 ^aOnly be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, ^bto love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and to cling to him and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 6 So Joshua ^cblessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
