"We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has possessed his inheritance.

21

and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven His enemies out from before Him,

22

and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the LORD and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the LORD.

23

"But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.
