Joshua 22:2
1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
and told them, “You have done all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and you have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 All this time you have not deserted your brothers, up to this very day, but have kept the charge given you by the LORD your God.
4 And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
