¹⁶ Then the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh answered Joshua. They said, "We'll do what you have commanded us to do. We'll go where you send us. ¹⁷ We obeyed Moses completely. And we'll obey you just as completely. But may the Lord your God be with you, just as he was with Moses. ¹⁸ "Suppose people question your authority. And suppose they refuse to obey anything you command them to do. Then they will be put to death. Just be strong and brave!"
