“We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.”
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be sure unto us — they confirm their pledge: they will cross the Jordan armed and fight for Canaan's conquest, ensuring that their eastern inheritance becomes permanently theirs. The logic is clear: delayed gratification (fighting for others' settlements) yields legitimate possession of their own land.
