And I commanded you the same
time (ye Ruben and Gad) saying: the LORD your God hath given you
this land to enjoy it: see that ye go harnessed before your
brethren the children of Israel, all that are men of war among
you. Your wives only, your children and your cattle (for I wot
that ye have much cattle) shall abide in your cities which I have
given you, until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren as
well as unto you, and until they also have conquered the land
which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Iordan: and then
return again every man unto his possession which I have given you.
And I warned Iosua the same time saying: thine eyes have seen all
that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings, even so the
LORD will do unto all kingdoms whither thou goest. Fear them not,
for the LORD your God he it is that fighteth for you. And I
besought the LORD the same time saying: O Lord Iehoua, thou hast
begun to shew thy servant thy greatness and thy mighty hand, for
there is no God in heaven nor in earth that can do after thy works
and after thy power: let me go over and see the good land that is
beyond Iordan, that goodly high country and Libanon. But the LORD
was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me, but said
unto me, be content, and speak henceforth no more unto me of this
matter; Get thee up into the top of Pisga and lift up thine eyes
west, north, south and east, and behold it with thine eyes for
thou shalt not go over this Iordan.
