Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;

Verse 14 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.

Eure Weiber und Kinder und Vieh laßt in dem Lande bleiben, das euch Mose gegeben hat, diesseit des Jordans; ihr aber sollt vor euren Brüdern her ziehen gerüstet, was streitbare Männer sind, und ihnen helfen,
Vuestras mujeres y vuestros niños y vuestras bestias, quedarán en la tierra que Moisés os ha dado de esta parte del Jordán; mas vosotros, todos los valientes y fuertes, pasaréis armados delante de vuestros hermanos, y les ayudaréis;
Sus esposas, sus niños y su ganado se quedarán en la tierra que Moisés les dio de este lado del Jordán. Pero ustedes, todos los guerreros valientes, cruzarán armados delante de sus hermanos y los ayudarán,
Vos femmes, vos petits enfants et vos troupeaux resteront dans le pays que vous a donné Moïse de ce côté-ci du Jourdain; mais vous tous, hommes vaillants, vous passerez en armes devant vos frères, et vous les aiderez,
Le vostre mogli, i vostri piccoli fanciulli e il vostro bestiame, dimorino nel paese, il quale Mosè vi ha dato di qua dal Giordano; ma voi, quanti siete valenti e forti, passate in armi davanti a’ vostri fratelli, e date loro aiuto;
Vossas mulheres, vossos meninos e vosso gado fiquem na terra que Moisés vos deu deste lado do Jordão; porém vós passareis armados na frente de vossos irmãos, todos os valentes e valorosos, e ajudá-los-eis;
你們的妻子、孩子和牲畜可以留在 約旦河 東、 摩西 所給你們的地。但你們中間所有大能的勇士都要帶著兵器,在你們的弟兄前面過去,你們要幫助他們。
