18 “So I commanded YOU men at that particular time, saying, ‘Jehovah YOUR God has given YOU this land to take possession of it. YOU will pass over, equipped, before YOUR brothers, the sons of Israel, all the valiant men.*+

14 YOUR wives, YOUR little ones and YOUR livestock will dwell in the land that Moses has given YOU on this side of the Jordan;+ but YOU men will pass over in battle formation+ before YOUR brothers, all the valiant mighty men,+ and YOU must help them.

13 About forty thousand equipped for the army passed over before Jehovah for the war onto the desert plains of Jerʹi·cho.
