וְלַֽחֲצִי ׀ שֵׁבֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּׁה נָתַן מֹשֶׁה בַּבָּשָׁן וּלְחֶצְיוֹ נָתַן יְהוֹשֻׁעַ עִם־אֲחֵיהֶם (מעבר) [בְּעֵבֶר] הַיַּרְדֵּן יָמָּה וְגַם כִּֽי־שִׁלְּחָם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל־אׇהֳלֵיהֶם וַֽיְבָרְכֵֽם׃
Now to the one half of the tribe of Menashshe, Moshe had given possession in Bashan: but to the other half of it, Yehoshua had given territory among their brethren on this side of the Yarden westward. Moreover when Yehoshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

Rashi
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר בִּנְכָסִים רַבִּים שׁוּבוּ אֶל־אׇֽהֳלֵיכֶם וּבְמִקְנֶה רַב־מְאֹד בְּכֶסֶף וּבְזָהָב וּבִנְחֹשֶׁת וּבְבַרְזֶל וּבִשְׂלָמוֹת הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד חִלְקוּ שְׁלַל־אֹיְבֵיכֶם עִם־אֲחֵיכֶֽם׃ {פ}
and he spoke to them, saying, Return with much riches to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with very many garments: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

Rashi
עם אחיכם. בני ראובן ובני גד ויש פותרין: עם אחיכם, שנשארו לשמור את הערים עם הנשים והטף, ולא עברו את הירדן עם החלוצים, גם הם נטלו חלק בבזה:
[Divide the spoils] with your brothers— Referring to Bnei Gad and Bnei Reuvein. There are some who interpret “brothers” in referrence to those who remained behind to guard the cities and the women and children. [Even though] they did not cross the Jordan— with the armed division, nevertheless they received a share of the spoils.1This practice was instituted by Avrohom. See Bereishis 14:24. Rashi comments there that Dovid learned from Avrohom’s action and established this as a tradition.
וגם כי שלחם יהושע. לחצי שבט המנשה, כאשר שלח את בני ראובן וגד:
Furthermore, when Yehoshua sent them off. He sent off the half-tribe of Menashe in the same manner as he sent off the Bnei Reuvein and the Bnei Gad.
