Joshua 1:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Your wives, children and animals can stay in this land that Moses gave to you, on the east side of the Jordan River. But your strong men must cross the river, with their weapons. They must go in front of the other Israelite tribes. You must help them ¹⁵ until the Lord gives them a place to rest, as he has already given to you. When all the other tribes are safe in the land, you may return to the land east of the Jordan. Moses gave this land to you.’

¹⁶ The people said to Joshua, ‘We will do whatever you tell us. And we will go wherever you send us.
