Then Moses said to them,“ If you will do this— if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle

So Moses said to them,“ If you will do this, if you will take up arms to go before the Lord for the war,

Then Moses said,“ If you keep your word and arm yourselves for the Lord’s battles,

Moses replied to them,“ If you do this— if you arm yourselves for battle before the LORD,

So Moses said to them,“ If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for the war,

Then Moses said to them:“ If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before the Lord for the war,

And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before Jehovah to the war,

Moses replied to them,“ If you do this— if you arm yourselves for battle before the Lord,

And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

Then Moses replied,“ If you will do this thing, and if you will arm yourselves for battle before the LORD,

Moses said to them:“ If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war,

Among the people who went across the river were men from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. The men were ready for battle. They went across ahead of the rest of the Israelites. It was just as Moses had directed them.There were about 40,000 of them. All of them were ready for battle. They went across in front of the ark of the Lord. They marched to the plains around Jericho. They were prepared to go to war.

“ Remember what Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you. He said,‘ The Lord your God is giving you this land. It’s a place where you can make your homes and live in peace and rest.’Your wives, children and livestock can stay here east of the Jordan River. Moses gave you this land. But all your fighting men must get ready for battle. They must go across ahead of the other tribes. You must help themuntil the Lord gives them rest. In the same way, he has already given you rest. You must help them until they also have taken over their land. It’s the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you can come back here. Then you can live in your own land. It’s the land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you east of the Jordan River. It’s toward the sunrise.”

He said to them,“ You have done everything that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded. You have also obeyed everything I commanded.For a long time now you haven’t deserted the other Israelites. Instead, you have done what the Lord your God sent you to do. You have obeyed him right up to this day.Now the Lord your God has given the other tribes peace and rest. That’s what he promised to do. So return to your homes. They are in the land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you. It’s on the east side of the Jordan River.

Here is the command I gave at that time to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. I said,“ The Lord your God has given you this land as your very own. But all your strong men must be prepared for battle. They must cross over ahead of the rest of the Israelites.But your wives and children can stay in the towns I’ve given you. You can keep your livestock there too. I know you have a lot of livestock.The Lord has given you peace and rest. Then let your families and livestock stay in those towns until the Lord gives peace and rest to the other tribes. And let your families stay until the other tribes have taken over the land the Lord your God is giving them. That land is across the Jordan River. After that, each of you may go back to the land I’ve given you as your very own.”
