Josué 22:14 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 22:14

And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince,
throughout all the tribes of Israel
The nine tribes and a half, so that the half tribe of Manasseh sent a prince, as well as the whole tribes:

and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers among the
thousands of Israel;
that is, among the rulers of the thousands of Israel; and so the Greek version calls them Chiliarchs, rulers of thousands; for the people were divided into tens, fifties, hundreds, and thousands, over whom there were distinct rulers, ( Exodus 18:25 ) . Now these were among the chief of them, of the highest rank and authority; they were the chief princes, heads of several tribes; a very honourable deputation this! the son of the high priest, and ten princes, the heads of the tribes; these were chosen and sent, partly in honour to their brethren beyond Jordan, and partly that they might carry the greater authority with them, and prevail upon them to hearken to them.

Josué 22:14 In-Context

12 Entonces toda la comunidad de Israel se reunió en Silo y se preparó para salir a la guerra contra ellos.

13 Pero antes enviaron una delegación a cargo de Finees, hijo del sacerdote Eleazar, para hablar con la tribu de Rubén, la tribu de Gad y la media tribu de Manasés.

14 La delegación estaba formada por diez líderes de Israel, cada uno pertenecía a una de las diez tribus y era cabeza de su familia dentro de los clanes de Israel.

15 Cuando llegaron a la tierra de Galaad, les dijeron a la tribu de Rubén, a la tribu de Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés:

16 —Toda la comunidad del Señor
exige saber por qué están traicionando al Dios de Israel. ¿Cómo pudieron apartarse del Señor
y construirse un altar en rebeldía contra él?
