Answer Details
This pledge was made to Joshua by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and part of the tribe of Manasseh. In the Bible, the book of Joshua recounts the Israelites' conquest of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, who succeeded Moses. The Reubenites, Gadites, and part of the tribe of Manasseh were assigned land on the east side of the Jordan River, but before they settled there, they pledged to help their fellow Israelites conquer the land on the west side of the river. They promised Joshua that they would obey him just as they had obeyed Moses and follow him wherever he led them. This story emphasizes the importance of unity and cooperation among God's people.
