Joshua 1:12-18

The condition which had been made with those tribes we had settled; Numbers 32:1-32 . The Lord grant that we may not, like those tribes, set up our rest on this side the land of promise. To go over to fight for the possession of our brethren, and to have no part ourselves would be a painful conclusion. The Rechabites were scribes to the lands of others, but had none of their own. Jeremiah 35:8-9 .
