And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 22 of Joshua. The eastern tribes return with great wealth and livestock after receiving their share of the spoils. The narrator emphasizes that they had obeyed Moses’ command and remained with their brothers until the land was distributed. The scene functions as a recognition of faithfulness. Although they live on the other side of the Jordan, their participation demonstrates that geography must not destroy Israel’s common identity.

Also kehrten um die Rubeniter, Gaditer und der halbe Stamm Manasse und gingen von den Kindern Israel aus Silo, das im Lande Kanaan liegt, daß sie ins Land Gilead zögen zum Lande ihres Erbes, das sie erbten nach Befehl des HERRN durch Mose.
Y los hijos de Rubén y los hijos de Gad, y la media tribu de Manasés, se tornaron, y partiéronse de los hijos de Israel, de Silo, que está en la tierra de Canaán, para ir a la tierra de Galaad, a la tierra de sus posesiones, de la cual eran poseedores, según palabra de Jehová por mano de Moisés.
Los hijos de Rubén, los hijos de Gad y la media tribu de Manasés regresaron y se alejaron de los hijos de Israel desde Silo, en la tierra de Canaán, para ir a la tierra de Galaad, a la tierra de su posesión, de la que habían tomado posesión conforme al mandato de Jehová por medio de Moisés.
Les fils de Ruben, les fils de Gad, et la demi-tribu de Manassé, s'en retournèrent, après avoir quitté les enfants d'Israël à Silo, dans le pays de Canaan, pour aller dans le pays de Galaad, qui était leur propriété et où ils s'étaient établis comme l'Eternel l'avait ordonné par Moïse.
I figliuoli di Ruben adunque, e i figliuoli di Gad, e la mezza tribù di Manasse, partitisi d’appresso a’ figliuoli d’Israele, di Silo, che è nel paese di Canaan, se ne ritornarono, per andare al paese di Galaad, nel paese della loro eredità, del quale erano stati messi in possessione, secondo che il Signore avea comandato per Mosè
Assim os filhos de Rúben, e os filhos de Gade, e a meia tribo de Manassés voltaram, e separaram-se dos filhos de Israel, de Siló, que está na terra de Canaã, para irem à terra de Gileade, à terra da sua possessão, de que foram feitos possuidores, conforme a ordem do SENHOR pelo ministério de Moisés.
於是 呂便 人、 迦得 人、 瑪拿西 半支派的人從 迦南 地的 示羅 起行,離開 以色列 人,回到他們已得為業的 基列 地,就是他們照耶和華藉 摩西 所吩咐而得的。
