Josué 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 22:7

Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given
[possession] in Bashan
The kingdom of Og, see ( Deuteronomy 3:13 ) ;

but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on
this side Jordan westward:
of which an account is given, and the border of their lot described, ( Joshua 17:1-18 ) ;

and when Joshua sent them also unto their tents, then he blessed them;
it seems as if this half tribe was separately dismissed and blessed, they being more nearly related to Joshua, who was of the tribe of Ephraim, and so had a more particular dismission and blessing; and he took his leave of them in a different and affectionate manner. Kimchi makes mention of a Derash, or Exposition of theirs, which says, that after they had taken leave they stayed two days, and returned and took leave a second time, and which he understands of them all, and not of the half tribe only; but it is plainly the half tribe that is only spoken of.

Josué 22:7 In-Context

5 Mas guardem fielmente o mandamento e a lei que Moisés, servo do SENHOR, deu a vocês, que amem o SENHOR, o seu Deus, andem em todos os seus caminhos, obedeçam aos seus mandamentos, apeguem-se a ele e o sirvam de todo o coração e de toda a alma”.

6 Então Josué os abençoou e os despediu, e eles foram para casa.

7 (À metade da tribo de Manassés Moisés dera terras em Basã, e à outra metade da tribo Josué dera terras no lado oeste do Jordão, junto com os outros israelitas.) Ao mandá-los para casa, Josué os abençoou,

8 dizendo: “Voltem para casa com as riquezas que juntaram: grandes rebanhos, prata, ouro, bronze e ferro, e muitas roupas. Dividam com os seus irmãos os despojos de seus inimigos”.

9 Assim as tribos de Rúben, de Gade e a metade da tribo de Manassés deixaram os outros israelitas em Siló, na terra de Canaã, para voltarem para Gileade, sua própria terra, da qual se apossaram de acordo com a ordem do SENHOR, dada por meio de Moisés.
