Bible verse
But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,
Deuteronomy 3:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 3.
15 To Machir I gave Gilead,
16 and to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead to the Arnon Valley (the middle of the valley was the border) and up to the Jabbok River, the border of the Ammonites.
17 The Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) with the slopes of Pisgah to the east.
18 At that time I commanded you: “The LORD your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of valor are to cross over, armed for battle, ahead of your brothers, the Israelites.
19 But your wives, your children, and your livestock—I know that you have much livestock—may remain in the cities I have given you,
20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them across the Jordan. Then each of you may return to the possession I have given you.”
21 And at that time I commanded Joshua: “Your own eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the kingdoms you are about to enter.
22 Do not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God Himself will fight for you.”
23 At that time I also pleaded with the LORD:
