And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
And all of you will cross the Jordan River armed and ready for battle before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies ahead of him,
This verse is about the tribes promising to stay armed and fight alongside their fellow Israelites until God helps them defeat all their enemies in the Promised Land.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of Moses' response to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, who wanted to settle east of the Jordan River instead of crossing into the main Promised Land. Moses was concerned they would abandon their fellow Israelites, so he required them to promise that their fighting men would still cross over and help conquer the land before returning to their families.
