Bible Commentary for Joshua 22:9

Wesley's Notes for Joshua 22:9


22:8 With your brethren - That is, with them who stayed beyond Jordan for the defence of their land, and wives, and children, who therefore were to have a share, though not an equal share with these. But for them, #1Sam 30:24|, their share was equal, because their danger was equal.

22:10 Built an altar - About that time when they came to them, they designed it, and as soon as they were got over Jordan, which was in a very little time, they effected and perfected it. They built it, no doubt, on their own side of the water: for how could they build on other men's land, without their consent? And it is said, in the following verse, to be over against the land of Jordan. Nor would there have been cause to suspect that it was designed for sacrifice, if they had not built it among themselves.

22:11 At the passage - Where they passed over Jordan, either at their first entrance into Canaan, or afterwards, and usually.
