Verse 18 is found in chapter 3 of Deuteronomy. Moses recalls the distribution of the Transjordan territory and establishes the responsibility of the tribes that had already received their inheritance: their fighting men were to cross the Jordan and help their brothers until they also received their territory. The arrangement expresses national solidarity and prevents any tribe from considering its own inheritance a reason to abandon the rest.

Und ich gebot euch zu der Zeit und sprach: Der HERR, euer Gott, hat euch dies Land gegeben einzunehmen; so ziehet nun gerüstet vor euren Brüder, den Kindern Israel, her, was streitbar ist,
Y os mandé entonces, diciendo: Jehová vuestro Dios os ha dado esta tierra para que la poseáis: pasaréis armados delante de vuestros hermanos los hijos de Israel todos los valientes.
En aquel tiempo les ordené: “Jehová su Dios les ha dado esta tierra para que la posean. Cruzarán armados delante de sus hermanos, los hijos de Israel, todos los hombres valientes.
En ce temps-là, je vous donnai cet ordre. L'Eternel, votre Dieu, vous livre ce pays, pour que vous le possédiez. Vous tous, soldats, vous marcherez en armes devant les enfants d'Israël.
E in quel tempo io vi comandai, e dissi: Il Signore Iddio vostro vi ha dato questo paese, per possederlo; tutti gli uomini di valore d’infra voi passino in arme, davanti a’ figliuoli d’Israele, vostri fratelli.
E no mesmo tempo vos ordenei, dizendo: O SENHOR vosso Deus vos deu esta terra, para possuí-la; passai, pois, armados vós, todos os homens valentes, diante de vossos irmãos, os filhos de Israel.
「那時,我吩咐你們說:『耶和華-你們的上帝已將這地賜給你們為業;你們所有的勇士都要帶著兵器,在你們的弟兄 以色列 人前面過去。
