And now God , your God, has given rest to your brothers just as he promised them. You're now free to go back to your homes, the country of your inheritance that Moses the servant of God gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

Contextual Overview

¹ Then Joshua calleth for the Reubenite, and for the Gadite, and for the half of the tribe of Manasseh, ² and saith unto them, `Ye -- ye have kept the whole of that which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, and ye hearken to my voice, to all that I have commanded you; <sup>3</sup> ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and have kept the charge -- the command of Jehovah your God. <sup>4</sup> `And, now, Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as He spake to them; and now, turn ye, and go for yourselves to your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan. ⁵ Only, be very watchful to do the command and the law which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him, with all your heart, and with all your soul.' ⁶ And Joshua blesseth them, and sendeth them away, and they go unto their tents. ⁷ And to the half of the tribe of Manasseh hath Moses given, in Bashan, and to its [other] half hath Joshua given with their brethren beyond the Jordan westward; and also when Joshua hath sent them away unto their tents, then he doth bless them, ⁸ and speak unto them, saying, `With great riches turn ye back unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.' ⁹ And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, in which they have possession, according to the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses;

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Joshua: Numbers 32:18-33, Deuteronomy 29:7, Deuteronomy 29:8

Reubenites: We have already seen, that a detachment of 40,000 men, of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, had passed over Jordan armed, with their brethren, according to their agreement with Moses. The war being now concluded, the land divided, and their brethren settled, Joshua assembles these warriors; and with commendations for their services and fidelity, he dismisses them, having fist given them the most pious and suitable instructions. They had now been about seven years absent from their respective families; and though there was only the river Jordan between the camp of Gilgal and their own inheritance, yet it does not appear that they had, during that time, ever revisited their home, which they might have done at any time of the year, except the harvest, as the river was at other times easily fordable.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. The promise of God to Israel being fulfilled, the land of Canaan being for the most part subdued, the war at an end, and rest had on all sides from their enemies, and the land divided among the nine tribes and an half, and they settled in the quiet possession of their lots; Joshua sent for the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, who had, at their own request, their portion allotted them on the other side Jordan, and who came over that river with him to assist their brethren in their wars with the Canaanites, and addressed them in the following respectable manner.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The events of this chap. are no doubt recorded in their proper historical order. The auxiliary forces of the trans-Jordanic tribes were not sent away immediately after the campaigns against the Canaanites were over. They set forth from Shiloh, Joshua 22:9, to which place the sanctuary had been removed Joshua 18:1 after the conquest and the settlement of the children of Judah and of Joseph in their possessions, and after the appointment of the Levitical cities.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

Joshua assembles, commends, blesses, and then dismisses the two

tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 1-8.

They return and build an altar by the side of Jordan, 9, 10.

The rest of the Israelites hearing of this, and suspecting that

they had built the altar for idolatrous purposes, or to make a

schism in the national worship, prepare to go to war with them,

11, 12;

but first send a deputation to know the truth, 13, 14.

They arrive and expostulate with their brethren, 15-20.

The Reubenites, Gadites, and half tribe of Manasseh, make a

noble defence, and show that their altar was built as a

monument only to prevent idolatry, 21-29.

The deputation are satisfied, and return to the ten tribes and

make their report, 30-32.

The people rejoice and praise God, 33;

and the Reubenites and Gadites call the altar they had raised

Ed, that it might be considered a witness between them and

their brethren on the other side Jordan, 34.
