Joshua 1:12-15

ADDRESS TO THE TRANS-JORDANIC TRIBES, Joshua 1:12-15.

Palestine, east of the Jordan, had already been conquered, and allotted, at their earnest request, to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the order here enumerated, passing from the south toward the north. Numbers 32:23. It was a more fertile and attractive country than “the mountain,” as Western Palestine is sometimes appropriately called.
