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 first given them the most pious and suitable instructions. They had now been about seven years (OR POSSIBLY LONGER) 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. Joshua 22 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: Numbers 32:20-22+ So Moses said to them, “If you will do this, if you will arm yourselves before the LORD for the war, 21 and all of you armed men cross over the Jordan before the LORD until He has driven His enemies out from before Him, 22 and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward you shall return and be free of obligation toward the LORD and toward Israel, and this land shall be yours for a possession before the LORD. (Consider reading Numbers 32:1-33 for background) Joshua 1:12-18+ (JOSHUA BEGAN BY ADDRESSING THE 2.5 TRIBES CHARGING THEM TO JOIN THE OTHER TRIBES IN CONQUEST OF CANAAN) To the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, 13 “Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ‘The LORD your God gives you rest and will give you this land.’ 14 “Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan, but you shall cross before your brothers in battle array, all your valiant warriors, and shall help them, 15 until the LORD gives your brothers rest, as He gives you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land, and possess that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.” 16 They answered Joshua, saying, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. 17“ Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the LORD your God be with you as He was with Moses. 18“Anyone who rebels against your command and does not obey your words in all that you command him, shall be put to death; only be strong and courageous.” Outline - Don Anderson THE ADMONITION - Joshua 22:1-8 on the part of Joshua to the two and a half tribes. THE PROVOCATION - Joshua 22:9,10 the building of the altar. THE MOBILIZATION - Joshua 22:11-20 response of the tribes in the west. THE EXPLANATION - Joshua 22:21-29 THE SATISFACTION - Joshua 22:30-34 Outline - Rod Mattoon The Commendation - Joshua 22:1-4 The Charge - Joshua 22:5-9 The Construction of the Altar - Joshua 22:10 The Concerns of the Nation - Joshua 22:11-12 Confrontation - Joshua 22:13-20 The Confirmation of Commitment - Joshua 22:21-29 Contentment - Joshua 22:30-34 Note that these last 3 chapters have a similar beginning with Joshua calling for an assembly - the same verb qara means to call or summon and is used in Josh 22:1, Josh 23:2 and Josh 24:1, marking the closing of this book with three assembles of Israel. See Jensen's chart at top of page - he entitles Joshua 22-24 the (1) Close of Joshua's Life,(2) Consecration, (3) Appeal. Jensen adds this notes on Joshua 22:1–24:33. The first five chapters of Joshua, the Preparation section, are chapters of anticipation of conquest. The last three chapters, this Consecration section, are chapters of anticipation of continued dwelling in God’s rest land. The intense action of the first half of the book, which reached a plateau in the business of land allotments, now gives way to relatively quiet but emotion-filled moments of crisis, when Joshua appeals for total commitment, and elicits Israel’s consecration to God, a heartwarming climax to the years of his ministry among them." (Survey of the Old Testament) Reformation Study Bible Note on the final 3 chapters, Joshua 22-24 - The book closes with three chapters about Israel’s faithfulness, following God’s faithfulness that has been the main subject so far (Joshua 21:43–45 and note). The human response demanded by God’s remarkable grace is the recurring theme of the final chapters. Each chapter begins with Joshua summoning the people (Joshua 22:1; 23:1–2; 24:1), and focuses on the faithfulness God now requires of them. (Josh 22–24) POSB - The summons & strong commendation given them: A lesson on loyalty, faithfulness, & completing one’s mission. (ED: We all do well to follow their example to be loyal to our Lord, following Him faithfully all of days, until we come to our end, having completed the mission He has given us in Christ Jesus - Eph 2:10. Let it be so Lord, for every soul who is reading these notes, for the glory of Thy Name, by the power of Thy Spirit, through our Great High Priest, Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen). Cyril
