Deuteronomy 3:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ And I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it; you [Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh] shall go over [the Jordan] armed before your brethren the other Israelites, all that are able for war.

¹⁹ But your wives and your little ones and your cattle—I know that you have many cattle—shall remain in your cities which I have given you,

²⁰ Until the Lord has given rest to your brethren as to you, and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God has given them beyond the Jordan. Then shall you return every man to the possession which I have given you.
