SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:7
También a la media tribu de Manasés había dado Moisés posesión en Basán; mas a la otra media dio Josué heredad entre sus hermanos de este lado del Jordán al occidente; y también a éstos envió Josué a sus tiendas, después de haberlos bendecido.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 22:7
Verse 7. Then he blessed them] Spoke respectfully of their fidelity and exertions, wished them every spiritual and temporal good, prayed to God to protect and save them, and probably gave some gifts to those leaders among them that had most distinguished themselves in this seven years' war. In all the above senses the word bless is frequently taken in Scripture.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [possession] in Bashan , etc.] The kingdom of Og, (see Deuteronomy 3:13); but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward : of which an account is given, and the border of their lot described, ( Joshua 17:1-18); and when Joshua sent them also unto their tents, then he blessed them ; it seems as if this half tribe was separately dismissed and blessed, they being more nearly related to Joshua, who was of the tribe of Ephraim, and so had a more particular dismission and blessing; and he took his leave of them in a different and affectionate manner. Kimchi makes mention of a Derash, or Exposition of theirs, which says, that after they had taken leave they stayed two days, and returned and took leave a second time, and which he understands of them all, and not of the half tribe only; but it is plainly the half tribe that is only spoken of.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - Joshua dismisses the tribes with good counsel. Those who have the commandment have it in vain, unless they do the commandment; and it will not be done aright unless we take diligent heed. In particular to love the Lord our God, as the best of beings, and the best of friends and as far as that principle rules in the heart, there will be constan care and endeavour to walk in his ways, even those that are narrow an up-hill. In every instance to keep his commandments. At all times, an in all conditions, with purpose of heart to cleave unto the Lord, an to serve him and his kingdom among men, with all our heart, and with all our soul. This good counsel is given to all; may God give us grac to take it!
