Deuteronomy 3:20 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 3:20

Until the Lord have given rest unto your brethren, as well as
unto you
Rest from their enemies, and habitations to dwell quietly in; so the land of Canaan is called a rest, ( Deuteronomy 12:9 ) typical of the rest which remains for the people of God:

and until they also possess the land which the Lord your God hath given
them beyond Jordan;
for so Canaan was with respect to Moses and the people with him, who were then in the plains of Moab; otherwise the country in which he was with respect to Canaan is usually called beyond Jordan; this the Lord had given in promise to Israel, and they were just now ready to enter into and possess it, by virtue of his gift, and which made it sure unto them:

and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have
given you;
as accordingly they did, ( Joshua 22:1-34 ) .

Deuteronomy 3:20 In-Context

18 At that time, I charged you as follows: "Although the Lord your God has given you this land to occupy, all your troops shall cross over armed as the vanguard of your Israelite kin.

19 Only your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—shall stay behind in the towns that I have given to you.

20 When the Lord gives rest to your kindred, as to you, and they too have occupied the land that the Lord your God is giving them beyond the Jordan, then each of you may return to the property that I have given to you."

21 And I charged Joshua as well at that time, saying: "Your own eyes have seen everything that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so the Lord will do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to cross.

22 Do not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you."
