Joshua 1:13 Cross References

Joshua 1:13

13: "Remember what Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you: `The LORD your God is giving you rest and has given you this land.'

Then Moses said, "If you keep your word and arm yourselves for the LORD's battles,
and if your troops cross the Jordan until the LORD has driven out his enemies,
then you may return when the land is finally subdued before the LORD. You will have discharged your duty to the LORD and to the rest of the people of Israel. And the land on the east side of the Jordan will be your inheritance from the LORD.
But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the LORD, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.
Go ahead and build towns for your families and sheepfolds for your flocks, but do everything you have said."

Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
He told them, "You have done as Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you, and you have obeyed every order I have given you.
You have not deserted the other tribes, even though the campaign has lasted for such a long time. You have been careful to obey the commands of the LORD your God up to the present day.
And now the LORD your God has given the other tribes rest, as he promised them. So go home now to the land Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave you on the east side of the Jordan River.

"At that time I gave this command to the tribes that will live east of the Jordan: `Although the LORD your God has given you this land as your property, all your fighting men must cross the Jordan, armed and ready to protect your Israelite relatives.
Your wives, children, and numerous livestock, however, may stay behind in the towns I have given you.
When the LORD has given security to the rest of the Israelites, as he has to you, and when they occupy the land the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan River, then you may return here to the land I have given you.'
