until Yahweh have given your brothers rest, as [he has given] you, and they also have possessed the land which Yahweh your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.
"Ye shall pass over before your brethren armed ..."  (Joshua 1:14). The word "armed" seems to be a little misleading here.  "The idea is probably, `in battle array.'"[23]  The word is translated from a word that suggests, "divided into five parts."[24] The reference seems to be from the various guards that were deployed in ancient armies on the march: (1) vanguard; (2) rearguard  (Joshua 1:3,4), left and right guards, and (5) an additional guard at the front or the rear depending upon the movement of the army, whether on attack, or in retreat.
