Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The insertion of this explanation about the half tribe, and the repetition of Joshua's farewell, are examples of a marked characteristic of very ancient writers and of Hebrew writers as much as any - that of giving a completeness and finish to each section of their story. The Jewish historian scarcely ever quotes or reminds, but repeats so much as may be necessary to make his account of the transaction in hand fully intelligible by itself. (Compare also Jos 13:14, Jos 13:33; Jos 14:3; Jos 18:7.) It is quite possible, however, that the particulars special to Jos 22:8, may be due to some other narrative of the whole event than that to which Jos 22:5 belongs, and may have been interwoven by a later reviser. |

| 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. |
5 But take diligent [03966] heed [08104] to do [06213] the commandment [04687] and the law [08451], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] charged [06680] you, to love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and to walk [03212] in all his ways [01870], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and to cleave [01692] unto him, and to serve [05647] him with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315].
8 And he spake [0559] unto them, saying [0559], Return [07725] with much [07227] riches [05233] unto your tents [0168], and with very [03966] much [07227] cattle [04735], with silver [03701], and with gold [02091], and with brass [05178], and with iron [01270], and with very [03966] much [07235] raiment [08008]: divide [02505] the spoil [07998] of your enemies [0341] with your brethren [0251].
7 But the Levites [03881] have no part [02506] among [07130] you; for the priesthood [03550] of the LORD [03068] is their inheritance [05159]: and Gad [01410], and Reuben [07205], and half [02677] the tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519], have received [03947] their inheritance [05159] beyond [05676] Jordan [03383] on the east [04217], which Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] gave [05414] them.

33 But unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] Moses [04872] gave [05414] not any inheritance [05159]: the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] was their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them.
14 Only unto the tribe [07626] of Levi [03878] he gave [05414] none inheritance [05159]; the sacrifices [0801] of the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] made by fire [0801] are their inheritance [05159], as he said [01696] unto them.
