⁷ (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan,^(A) and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave land on the west side^(B) of the Jordan along with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed them,^{(C) 8} saying, “Return to your homes with your great wealth—with large herds of livestock,^(D) with silver, gold, bronze and iron,^(E) and a great quantity of clothing—and divide^(F) the plunder^(G) from your enemies with your fellow Israelites.”

⁹ So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh^(H) in Canaan to return to Gilead,^(I) their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.
