Deuteronomy 3:19-21
New Catholic Bible
19 But your wives and your children and your cattle (for I know that you have many cattle) can remain in your cities that I have given you. 20 It will be this way until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as he already has to you, so that they also come to possess the land that the Lord, your God, has given them on the other side of the Jordan. Then, each of you can return to the property that I have given you.”
21 Then I commanded Joshua, “You have seen with your own eyes what the Lord, your God, has done to these two kings. This is what the Lord will do to any kingdom that you might encounter.[a]
