ISV(i)
17 but we will keep ourselves armed and stay ready to go with the Israelis until we’ve brought them to their own places. Our families intend to live in fortified cities in the presence of the inhabitants of the land,
18 but we won’t return to our homes until every Israeli has taken possession of each of their inheritances,
19 since our inheritance will not be with them across the Jordan River and beyond. Instead, our inheritance is on this side of the Jordan River, facing eastward.”
20The Offer is Accepted“If you do this,” Moses replied to them, “that is, if you equip yourselves for war in the LORD’s presence
21 and every one of your armed soldiers crosses over the Jordan River in the presence of the LORD until he has dispossessed his enemies ahead of him
22 and subjugated the land before him, then afterwards when you return, you’ll be able to stand blameless before the LORD and before Israel. This land will then be your possession before the LORD.
