Contextual Overview

10 When the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe arrived in the area of the land of Kena‘an near the Yarden, they built an altar there by the Yarden, a large, impressive altar. 11 The people of Isra'el heard of it and said, "Look! The descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh have built an altar by the frontier of the land of Kena‘an, in the area by the Yarden, on the side that belongs to the people of Isra'el." 12 When the people of Isra'el heard of it, the entire community of Isra'el gathered together in Shiloh to wage war against them. 13 The people of Isra'el sent Pinchas the son of El‘azar the cohen into the land of Gil‘ad to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh. 14 With him were ten leaders, one leader of an ancestral clan for each of the tribes of Isra'el; each one was a head of his ancestral clan among the thousands of Isra'el. 15 They came to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh in the land of Gil‘ad and spoke with them; they said, 16 "Here is what the whole community of Adonai is saying: ‘What is this treachery that you have committed against the God of Isra'el, turning away today from following Adonai , in that you have built yourselves an altar, thus rebelling today against Adonai ? 17 Is the guilt we incurred at P‘or not enough for us? We haven't cleansed ourselves from it to this day, even though a plague came on the community of Adonai . 18 Is this why you have to turn away today from following Adonai ? If you rebel against Adonai today, he will be angry tomorrow with the whole community of Isra'el. 19 If the land you have taken possession of is unclean, then cross back over into the land which belongs to Adonai , where the tabernacle of Adonai is located, and take a possession among us. But don't rebel against Adonai , and don't rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of Adonai our God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince,

throughout all the tribes of Israel,.... The nine tribes and a half, so that the half tribe of Manasseh sent a prince, as well as the whole tribes:

and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel; that is, among the rulers of the thousands of Israel; and so the Greek version calls them Chiliarchs, rulers of thousands; for the people were divided into tens, fifties, hundreds, and thousands, over whom there were distinct rulers, Exodus 18:25. Now these were among the chief of them, of the highest rank and authority; they were the chief princes, heads of several tribes; a very honourable deputation this! the son of the high priest, and ten princes, the heads of the tribes; these were chosen and sent, partly in honour to their brethren beyond Jordan, and partly that they might carry the greater authority with them, and prevail upon them to hearken to them.
