Notes

Joshua 22:2–3

Joshua commended the eastern tribes for their faithful obedience and the fulfillment of their promise to help the rest of Israel settle Canaan (see 1:12–18; Numbers 32:1–32).

Joshua 22:1–24:33

Israel completed the conquest and allotment of the land, but much of the hard work of actually settling it still lay ahead. However, all that remained for Joshua in his role as leader of Israel was to say goodbye.

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.
