Joshua 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 1:15

Until the Lord hath given your brethren rest, as [he hath
given] you
Rest from their travels, as they had:

and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth
them:
are settled in the land of Canaan, as they were on that side Jordan:

then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it;
the countries of Sihon and Og, they were put into the possession of:

which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side Jordan, toward
the sunrising;
the land, given to them lay to the east of Jordan.
