Moses said to them, If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before Yahweh to the war,
21
and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22
and the land is subdued before Yahweh; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards Yahweh, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before Yahweh.
