“Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.”
Until the LORD has given rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they also take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them; then you shall return to your own land — the promise of return assures the Transjordanian tribes that their temporary military obligation will conclude with their return to their own inheritance. The temporal structure mirrors the pattern of covenant service: obedience precedes blessing.
