Joshua 1:12-18
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half- tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land.Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;until Jehovah have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising.And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go.According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

Deuteronomy 3:16-20
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border thereof, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;the Arabah also, and the Jordan and the border thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the men of valor.But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle( I know that ye have much cattle), shall abide in your cities which I have given you,until Jehovah give rest unto your brethren, as unto you, and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.

Numbers 32:20-29
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before Jehovah to the war,and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,and the land is subdued before Jehovah; then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards Jehovah, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession before Jehovah.But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah; and be sure your sin will find you out.Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord saith.So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before Jehovah, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
