      1  The two tribes and a half with a blessing are sent home.
    10  They build the altar of testimony in their journey.
    11  The Israelites are offended thereat.
    21  They vindicate their conduct, and give them good
        satisfaction.
    
    
    VERSE 1
    - Joshua.  See on
       * Nu 32:18-33 De 29:7,8
    - 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 crossable.

     - the country of Gilead.
       * Jos 13:11,25,31 Nu 32:1,26,29,39,40 De 3:15,16 Ps 60:7
    
    
    VERSE 10 
     - the children.
      This verse should probably be rendered, "And when they came to
      the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the
      children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half
      tribe of Manasseh, Then built an altar by (or beyond, {al})
      Jordan, a great altar to the view."  It would appear, that
      when they came to the river, they formed the purpose of
      building the altar; and when they crossed it they put that
      purpose into execution.  It is evident that they did not build
      it west of the Jordan, for that was not in their territories,
      and the next verse expressly says that it was built over
      against the land of Canaan.
    
    - built.
       * :25-28; 4:5-9; 24:26,27 Ge 28:18; 31:46-52

    - at the passage.

    VERSE 12 
     - the whole.
      Supposing they had built this altar for sacrifice, in
      opposition to the command of God, they considered them as
      rebels against God and the Israelitish constitution.

    VERSE 21 
     - Then the children.
      The conduct and answer of these Reubenites and the associates
      are worthy of admiration and imitation.  Though conscious of
      their innocence, they permitted Phinehas to finish his speech,
      though composed of little else than accusations, without any
      interruption; and taking in good part the suspicions,
      reproofs, and even harshness of their brethren, with the
      utmost meekness and solemnity they explain their intention,
      give all the satisfaction in their power, and with great
      propriety and reverence, appeal to that God against whom they
      were supposed to have rebelled.
    
    - answered.
       * Pr 15:1; 16:1; 18:13; 24:26 Ac 11:4 Jas 19 1:19 1Pe 3:15
    - heads.
       * Ex 18:21-25 Mic 5:2

      nearly the version of Luther, {der starte Gott, der Herr,}
      "The strong God, the Lord."

     - it pleased them.  Heb. it was good in their eyes.
      It is remarkable, that Joshua is not once named in this
      transaction; but this only shews, that he did not in his old
      age assume any regal authority, but left the elders and
      civil officers to conduct the general business, only acting
      himself when great occasions made it necessary.  Yet we cannot
      doubt, that his wisdom and piety influenced the counsels of
      the elders and people at this time.

    VERSE 34 
     - Ed. i.e, a witness.
      The word witness, or testimony, is not found in the common
      editions of the Hebrew Bible; and is supplied in Italics by
      our venerable translators, at least in our modern copies; for
      in the first edition of this translation, it stands in the
      text without any note of this kind; but it is found in several
      of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and also in the Syriac and
      Arabic.  Several also of the early printed editions of the
      Hebrew Bible have the word {ed,} either in the text or in the
      margin; and it must be allowed to be necessary to complete the
      sense.  It is very probable that an inscription was put on
      this altar, signifying the purpose for which it was erected.
      Thus was this affair most happily terminated.
    
       * :27; 24:27 1Ki 18:39 Isa 43:10 Mt 4:10
    - the Lord is God.
