What does Joshua 22:30 mean?
And when Phinehas the priest
For he was, being the son of Eleazar the high priest, so the word
"priest", ( Joshua 22:13
) ; is to be joined, not to Eleazar but to Phinehas:
and the princes of the congregation;
the ten princes, who were sent by the congregation of Israel, one
out of each tribe:
and heads out of the thousands of Israel;
these are the same with the princes, and this belongs to their
title, who were heads of the Chiliarchs, or those who were rulers
of thousands in Israel:
which [were] with him;
with Phinehas, who were joined with him in the embassy, and now
present with him:
heard the words that the children of Reuben, and the
children of Gad,
and the children of Manasseh; spake;
in defence of themselves, explaining the meaning and design of
the altar they had built:
it pleased them;
they were not only satisfied with their answer, but highly
delighted with what they had done, as tending to preserve the
common faith and fellowship of Israel.
