Joshua prepares the people to pass the Jordan
10 And Joshua commanded the rulers of the people, saying,
11 Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, "Provide yourselves with food, for in three days you shall pass over this Jordan, that you may enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you may possess it.
12 And Joshua spake unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, saying,
13 Remember the word that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God gives you rest, and gives you this land.
14 Your wives, your boys, and your cattle, stay in the land which Moses gave you from this side of the Jordan. but you shall pass over armed before your brethren, all mighty and valiant, and assist them;
15 Until the Lord gives rest to your brethren, as to you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God gives them; Then shall ye return to the land of your inheritance, and ye shall possess that which the servant of Jehovah gave unto you from this side of Jordan to the rising of the sun.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, Whatsoever thou hast commanded us, we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 As we have heard Moses in all things, so will we hear you: only let the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Every man that rebeleth against thy mouth, and hearkeneth not unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall die: only strive, and be of good cheer.
