Notes

Joshua 22:15

The group of ten chiefs crossed the Jordan River to meet the leaders of the eastern tribes in Gilead, likely in southern Gad.

Joshua 22:1–34

Joshua first said goodbye to the tribes east of the Jordan River when he sent them home. As usual, he urged them to remain loyal to God.
