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.
