Joshua 22
Joshua blesses and sends the two and a half tribes home
1 Then Joshua called the Rubenites, and the Gatites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
2 And he said to them, Everything that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, you kept: and in my voice you obeyed everything that I commanded you.
3 You have not forsaken your brethren until this day: before, you were careful to keep the commandment of the Lord your God.
4 And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as he had promised them: then return now and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, has given you beyond the Jordan .
5 Just be careful to keep diligently the commandment and the law that Moses, the servant of the Lord, has commanded you: that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and be close. and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
6 So Joshua blessed them; and dismissed them, and went to their tents.
7 For Moses had inherited in Bashan the half tribe of Manasseh; but the other half gave Joshua among his brothers, from the Jordan to the west; and Joshua sent them out of their tents and blessed them;
8 And he spoke to them, saying, Return to your tents with great riches, and with many cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with metal, and with iron, and with many dresses: and with your brothers divide up the spoil of your enemies.
9 So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, returned and left the children of Israel, of Shiloh, who is in the land of Canaan; to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, of which they were made possessed, as the Lord said by the ministry of Moses.
