Joshua 22:33 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The children of Israel blessed God As Phinehas had done, that their brethren had not offended the Divine Majesty as they suspected. And did not intend to go up against them Laid aside the intention which had been in their minds. To destroy the land As, by the law of God, they would have been obliged to do, if these two tribes and a half had been guilty of the crime of which they had been suspected, and had persisted in their sin; as afterward they nearly destroyed the tribe of Benjamin for a similar reason.

Joshua 22:33

33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
