Verse 11 is found in chapter 1 of Joshua. After receiving the divine commission, Joshua turns the promise into concrete instructions for the people. The officers must prepare provisions and announce the crossing of the Jordan, while the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh remember their commitment to help their brothers. Israel’s unity is thus connected to the conquest: although some tribes already possess territory east of the Jordan, they participate in the collective responsibility of receiving the promised inheritance.

Geht durch das Lager und gebietet dem Volk und sprecht: Schafft euch Vorrat; denn über drei Tage werdet ihr über diesen Jordan gehen, daß ihr hineinkommt und das Land einnehmt, daß euch der HERR, euer Gott, geben wird.
Pasad por medio del campo, y mandad al pueblo, diciendo: Preveníos de comida; porque dentro de tres días pasaréis el Jordán, para que entréis a poseer la tierra que Jehová vuestro Dios os da para que la poseáis.
«Pasen por en medio del campamento y ordenen al pueblo: “Preparen provisiones para ustedes, porque dentro de tres días cruzarán este Jordán para entrar a poseer la tierra que Jehová su Dios les da para poseerla”».
Parcourez le camp, et voici ce que vous commanderez au peuple: Préparez-vous des provisions, car dans trois jours vous passerez ce Jourdain pour aller conquérir le pays dont l'Eternel, votre Dieu, vous donne la possession.
Passate per mezzo il campo, e comandate al popolo, dicendo: Apparecchiatevi della vittuaglia; perciocchè di qui a tre giorni voi avete a passar questo Giordano, per andare a possedere il paese che il Signore Iddio vostro vi dà, acciocchè lo possediate.
Passai pelo meio do arraial e ordenai ao povo, dizendo: Provede-vos de comida, porque dentro de três dias passareis este Jordão, para que entreis a possuir a terra que vos dá o SENHOR vosso Deus, para a possuirdes.
「你們要走遍營中,吩咐百姓說:『當預備食物, 因為三日之內你們要過這 約旦河 ,進去得耶和華-你們上帝賜給你們為業之地。』」
