To Eleazar, Joshua, and the princes of the congregation:

if the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you
over Jordan, every man armed to battle before the Lord;

and the land shall be subdued before you;
which must be done before their return:

then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;
