Exegesis
The imperative ivru {עִבְרוּ | ʿivrū} ‘cross over’ directs movement to el-eretz achuzat YHWH {אֶל־אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּת יְהוָה | ʾel-ʾēreṣ ʾăḥûzaṯ Yəhōwāh}, affirming divine territorial claim.
In context — Joshua 22:19
But if the land in your possession is unclean, then cross into the land of the LORD where the tabernacle of the LORD stands, and take a possession among us. Only do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.
