Exegesis
The relative clause ka-asher dibber la-hem {כַאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָהֶם | ka-ʾă-šer dib-ber la-hem} ‘just as He spoke to them’ echoes a prior promise.
In context — Joshua 22:4
And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, just as He spoke to them. So turn back now and go to your tents, to the land of your possession , which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.
