And now YHWH your God has given rest to your brothers, as he said to them. Now therefore turn you, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave you, Beyond Jordan.”

Now YHWH with their help had given rest to their brothers. They were settling in the land and beginning to sow and to plant. ‘Turn you.' See Deuteronomy 1:7; Deuteronomy 1:40; Deuteronomy 2:3; Deuteronomy 16:7. ‘Get you to your tents.' A phrase from the past which meant ‘go home', whether to tents or houses (compare Joshua 22:8; Deuteronomy 16:7; possibly Judges 7:8; 1 Kings 12:16). ‘The land of your possession.' God had already given them their reward.
