Joshua 4:12
"And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh,.... Who were settled on the other side Jordan, in the countries taken from Sihon

and Og: passed over armed before the children of Israel; the rest of the tribes: as Moses spake unto them; or ordered them, and as they promised they would, Num 32:17 .
