Contextual Overview
1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manas'seh, 2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you; 3 you have not forsaken your brethren these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the LORD your God. 4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as he promised them; therefore turn and go to your home in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan. 5 Take good care to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul." 6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their homes. 7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manas'seh Moses had given a possession in Bashan; but to the other half Joshua had given a possession beside their brethren in the land west of the Jordan. And when Joshua sent them away to their homes and blessed them, 8 he said to them, "Go back to your homes with much wealth, and with very many cattle, with silver, gold, bronze, and iron, and with much clothing; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren." 9 So the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the LORD through Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,.... The ten commandments, and all other laws, both ceremonial and civil:
which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you; in the name of the Lord, to keep and observe:
to love the Lord your God; of which keeping the commands of God is an evidence, and which is the true principle and motive of hearty, sincere, and cheerful obedience to them:
and to walk in all his ways; which he has prescribed, all his ways of worship, paths of duty, faith, truth, holiness, and righteousness:
and to keep his commandments; whether moral, ceremonial, or judicial: whether of natural and moral obligation, or of positive institution:
and to cleave unto him; and not depart from his ways, worship, word, and ordinances:
and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul: in the most strict and affectionate manner. This advice Joshua thought proper to give them, and inculcate into them, now they were about to leave their brethren, and go on the other side Jordan; where they would be at a distance from the tabernacle, altar, and service of God, and might be under temptation to relinquish it, and set up another form of worship elsewhere.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 22:5. But take diligent heed, c. — Let us examine the force of this excellent advice they must ever consider that their prosperity and continued possession of the land depended on their fidelity and obedience to God; to this they must take diligent heed.
Do the commandment — They must pay the strictest regard to every moral precept.
And the law — They must observe all the rites and ceremonies of their holy religion.
Love the Lord your God — Without an affectionate filial attachment to their Maker, duty would be irksome, grievous, and impossible.
Walk in all his ways — They must not only believe and love, but obey: walk not in your own ways, but walk in those which GOD has pointed out.
Keep his commandments — They must love him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and their neighbour as themselves.
Cleave unto him — They must be cemented to him, in a union that should never be dissolved.
Serve him — They must consider him as their Master, having an absolute right to appoint them when, where, how, and in what measure they should do his work.
With all your heart — Having all their affections and passions sanctified and united to him.
And with all your soul. — Giving up their whole life to him, and employing their understanding, judgment, and will, in the contemplation and adoration of his perfections; that their love and obedience might increase in proportion to the cultivation and improvement of their understanding.
