19	For we will not inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and forward; for our inheritance has come to us from this side of Jordan from the risings.	For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan to the east.”	We will not receive any inheritance with them on the other side of the Jordan, because our inheritance has come to us on the east side of the Jordan.”

And this land will be your possession before the LORD.
23	And if ye shall not do this, behold, ye sinned to Jehovah: and know ye, your sin which shall find you.
