What does Joshua 1:13 mean?

'You must stay and help until the Lord gives rest to your fellow Israelites, just as He has to you, and they too have taken possession of the land. Then you can return and settle here.' Joshua 1:13 - Modern Text Bible

(Their commitment is to the whole community, not just themselves. Only after everyone has their land can they return home.)
