Verse 16 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.

Und sie antworteten Josua und sprachen: Alles, was du uns geboten hast, das wollen wir tun; und wo du uns hinsendest, da wollen wir hin gehen.
Entonces respondieron a Josué, diciendo: Nosotros haremos todas las cosas que nos has mandado, e iremos adonde quiera que nos mandares.
Respondieron a Josué: «Haremos todo lo que nos has mandado e iremos adondequiera que nos envíes.
Ils répondirent à Josué, en disant: Nous ferons tout ce que tu nous as ordonné, et nous irons partout où tu nous enverras.
Ed essi risposero a Giosuè, dicendo: Noi faremo tutto quel che tu ci hai comandato, e andremo dovunque tu ci manderai.
Então responderam a Josué, dizendo: Tudo quanto nos ordenaste faremos, e onde quer que nos enviares iremos.
