Yehoshua 22:4

4 And now Hashem Eloheichem hath given manoach unto your achim, just as He promised them; therefore now return ye, and get you unto your ohalim, and unto the Eretz Achuzzatechem, which Moshe eved Hashem gave you on the other side of the Yarden.

Yehoshua 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 22:4

And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren,
as he promised them
As in ( Joshua 21:44 ) ; see ( Deuteronomy 12:9 Deuteronomy 12:10 ) ;

therefore now return ye, and get ye unto your tents;
not their military tents in the army, from which they now came to Joshua, but their houses, as the Greek version, and their cities, as the Targum; they having been so long used to tents in the wilderness, and during the wars in Canaan, this was a familiar word for their dwellings:

[and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the
Lord gave you, on the other side Jordan;
before his death, on condition of doing what they now had done; even the land of Gilead and Bashan, beyond Jordan.

Yehoshua 22:4 In-Context

2 And said unto them, Ye have been shomer over all that Moshe Eved Hashem commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you;

3 Ye have not deserted your achim these yamim rabbim to yom hazeh, but have been shomer over the mishmeret mitzvat Hashem Eloheichem (charge, duty of the commandment of Hashem your G-d.)

4 And now Hashem Eloheichem hath given manoach unto your achim, just as He promised them; therefore now return ye, and get you unto your ohalim, and unto the Eretz Achuzzatechem, which Moshe eved Hashem gave you on the other side of the Yarden.

5 But be shomer to do the mitzvah and the torah, which Moshe Eved Hashem charged you, to love Hashem Eloheichem, and to walk in all the darkhei Hashem (see Ac 21:21 OJBC), and to be shomer mitzot regarding His commandments, and to have deveykus (attachment, cleavimg to G-d) to Him, and to serve Him in avodas [kodesh] with kol levavchem uvkhol nafshechem (all your heart , with all your nefesh).

6 So Yehoshua gave them a brocha, and sent them away; and they went unto their ohalim.
