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 asamblea se reunió en Siló con la intención de combatir contra las dos tribus y media.

13 Por tanto, los israelitas enviaron a Finés hijo del sacerdote Eleazar a la región de Galaad para hablar con esas tribus.

14 Con él iban diez representantes de cada una de las tribus de Israel, jefes de clanes y tribus.

15 Al llegar a Galaad, les dijeron a los de las dos tribus y media:

16 —Toda la asamblea del SEÑOR quisiera saber por qué se han rebelado contra el Dios de Israel como lo han hecho. ¿Por qué le han dado la espalda al SEÑOR y se han rebelado contra él, construyéndose un altar?
