Joshua:
"We will not¹ returnª ° unto¹ our houses,ª until¹ the childrenª of Israelª have inheritedª ° every manª his inheritance.ª ... And Mosesª gaveª ° unto them, [even] to the childrenª of Gad,ª and to the childrenª of Reuben,ª and unto halfª the tribeª of Manassehª the sonª of Joseph,ª ¹ the kingdomª of Sihonª kingª of the Amorites,ª and the kingdomª of Ogª kingª of Bashan,ª the land,ª with the citiesª thereof in the coasts,ª [even] the citiesª of the countryª round about.ª" {Num 32:18-33} + "And when ye cameª ° unto¹ this¹ place,ª Sihonª the kingª of Heshbon,ª and Ogª the kingª of Bashan,ª came outª ° againstª ° us unto battle,ª and we smoteª ° them: ... And we tookª °¹ their land,ª and gaveª ° it for an inheritanceª unto the Reubenites,ª and to the Gadites,ª and to the halfª tribeª of Manasseh.ª" {Deu 29:7-8}

Reubenites:
We have already seen, that a detachment of 40,000 men, of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, had passed over Jordan armed, with their brethren, according to their agreement with Moses. The war being now concluded, the land divided, and their brethren settled, Joshua assembles these warriors; and with commendations for their services and fidelity, he dismisses them, having fist given them the most pious and suitable instructions. They had now been about seven years absent from their respective families; and though there was only the river Jordan between the camp of Gilgal and their own inheritance, yet it does not appear that they had, during that time, ever revisited their home, which they might have done at any time of the year, except the harvest, as the river was at other times easily fordable.
