Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 22:1-8

Joshua commended these Israelites for their faithfulness to their promise to go to war with their brothers (Joshua 22:2-3; cf. Joshua 1:16-18). He also charged them to remain faithful to the Mosaic Law (Joshua 22:5). Obedience included complete devotion to Yahweh."This [Joshua 22:5] is the key verse in this chapter. It is another statement of the theme of the book that the people must be faithful to the Lord and obey his laws if they wish to be blessed and live in the land." [Note: Madvig, p.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 22:1-34

A. The return of the two and one-half tribes to their inheritances ch. 22Joshua’s preparations for the conquest of Canaan began with his summoning the two and one-half tribes to join their brethren to help them in the battles ahead (Joshua 1:12-18). Now Joshua dismissed the two and a half tribes and allowed them to return to their tribal inheritances east of the Jordan River. This ended the task of conquering and dividing the land. read more

Dismissal of the Two and a Half Tribes. The Axtar set up at Ed, and the Controversy it Raised1-9. The dismissal of the tribes.10-34. The controversy at Ed. Here, as in Numbers 25:7-9, we see Phinehas playing a prominent part, and the contrast between the scenes is instructive. Swift, stern, and relentless when occasion demanded, he appears in Numbers as the hero who, by prompt execution of judgment, stayed the plague at Shittim (cp. Psalms 106:30); here, on the other hand, though not unmindful... read more

XXII.DISMISSAL OF THE TWO AND A HALF TRIBES TO THEIR INHERITANCE ON THE EAST OF JORDAN.(1-6) Charge to the two and a half tribes by Joshua.The words of Joshua 22:2-3 recall the promise of Joshua 1:16, and Joshua’s charge in Joshua 22:5 recalls that which he himself had received at first (Joshua 1:7), and finds a further parallel in what he said to Israel before his death (Joshua 23, 24). read more

CHAPTER XXX.THE ALTAR ED.Joshua 22:1-34.THE two tribes and a half had behaved well. They had kept their word, remained with their brethren during all Joshua’s campaign, and taken their part in all the perils and struggles through which the host had passed.

THE RETURN OF THE 2 ½ TRIBES (vs.1-9) To their credit, the warriors from Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh had continued faithfully with the other tribes in conflict with the enemy until all the power of the enemy was subdued. Joshua now speaks to them, commending them for their obedience to Moses and to him (v.2) in not leaving their brethren during these many days of warfare. Therefore he tells them that they are free to return to their homes on the east side of Jordan, the... read more
