“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;”
Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but all the men of valor among you shall cross over armed, in front of your brothers and shall help them — the Transjordanian tribes are instructed to leave their families and property in their territories while their warriors cross the Jordan to aid their kinsmen in conquest. The separation of families is a temporary sacrifice for tribal unity and covenant fulfillment.
