Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Joshua 21
⁴¹ The total number of towns and pasturelands within Israelite territory given to the Levites came to forty-eight.
⁴² Every one of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it.
⁴³ So the LORD gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there.
⁴⁴ And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD helped them conquer all their enemies.
⁴⁵ Not a single one of all the good promises the LORD had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true.
Joshua 22
¹ Then Joshua called together the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
² He told them, “You have done as Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded you, and you have obeyed every order I have given you.
³ During all this time you have not deserted the other tribes. You have been careful to obey the commands of the LORD your God right up to the present day.
⁴ And now the LORD your God has given the other tribes rest, as he promised them. So go back home to the land that Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave you as your possession on the east side of the Jordan River.
⁵ But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the LORD your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”
⁶ So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went home.
