“We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.”
We will not return unto our houses until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance — they swear an oath: their warriors will not return to Transjordan and settle until every Israelite tribe has received its inheritance in Canaan. This commitment transforms their request from apparent abandonment to deferred settlement, contingent on successful conquest.
