Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, Num 32:18-33Deu 29:7-8 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you: Jos 1:12-18Deu 3:16-20Num 32:20-29 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God. Php 1:23-27 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan. Jos 13:8Num 32:18Deu 3:20Deu 12:9Deu 29:8Deu 3:1-17Jos 13:15Jos 21:43-44 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. Mat 22:37Exo 20:6Rom 8:28Exo 15:26Deu 11:22Jhn 14:15Jas 1:12Jos 24:14-15 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

¶ Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them, Jos 17:1-12Num 32:33Jos 13:29-31 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

Deu 12:13-14 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD, Num 25:1-18Psa 106:28-29Deu 4:3-41Co 10:111Co 10:8Ezr 9:13-14 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel. Num 16:22Jos 22:161Ch 21:11Ch 21:141Ki 9:61Sa 12:141Sa 12:202Ch 25:27 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
