Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 22:5

‘ Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, to love YHWH 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.’ Here Joshua was charging them with the necessity for diligent obedience to the covenant of YHWH (Deuteronomy 4:9). They had ‘to love -- to walk -- to keep -- to cleave -- to serve’. A right response of heart, obedient... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 22:1-8

Joshua 21:43 to Joshua 22:8 . Yahweh’ s Promise of Conquest Completely Fulfilled, so that the E. Jordan Tribes are Set Free to Return Home.— We have here the introduction to the last section of our book. The land has now, according to the Deuteronomist, been conquered and divided amongst the 9½ tribes; consequently the 2½ tribes, having fulfilled their duty, are dismissed with thanks to their own possessions on the other side of the Jordan. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joshua 22:5

Take diligent heed; watch over yourselves and all your actions. The commandment and the law; two words expressing the same thing, the law of commandments delivered by Moses. With all your heart and with all your soul; with the whole strength of your minds, and wills, and affections. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 22:1-9

THE GOING HOME OF THE EASTERN TRIBESCRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 22:1. Then Joshua called] “As the return of the armed men belonging to the two tribes and a half is only described in general terms, by ‘âz,’ as occurring somewhere about the same time as the events related before, it would not be at all at variance with the text to suppose that they were dismissed immediately after the conclusion of the wars. But such an assumption is disproved by Joshua 22:9, where they are said to have been dismissed... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 22:1-34

Chapter 22Now in chapter twenty-two, after now the land has all been given and apportioned out,Joshua called the men from Reuben, and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh ( Joshua 22:1 ).Now you remember these are the people who when they were on the east bank of the Jordan River had already established there. It was good grazing country, they said, "We're farmers this is great territory." We'd love to just stay over here and have our inheritance right here where we are.So Moses said, "Providing... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 22:1-34

Joshua 22:10 . A great altar to see to. See on Numbers 32:0. The object of this mount or tumulus was to show that they belonged to the Hebrew nation, and had hope in the Messiah. It was a sudden ebullition of thought, and the army executed the work in a few days. The ancients were accustomed to works of this kind from the earliest traces of society. At Marlborough we have two mounts, raised at different times by an army, for sepulchral honours and memorials of victory. In America there are... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Joshua 22:1-34

Joshua 22:1-34Ye have not left your brethren. Helping one anotherI. These tribes helped their brethren to their own inconvenience and positive detriment. A narrow-minded, selfish race would have recognised no claim for any service which could not be repaid dollar for dollar. What fine excuses could have been made for the non-performance of this duty if they had been in the excuse-making mood! How prominently that threadbare proverb, “Charity begins at home”--a proverb often outrageously... read more
