Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament wanting, the omission was, no doubt, a copyist's error, occasioned by the homoioteleuto'n (see de Rossi variae lectt. ad h. l. , and J. H. Michaelis' Note to his Hebrew Bible).) Verse 38-39. From Gad they received four towns: Ramoth in Gilead, and Mahanaim (see at Josh 13:26), Heshbon (ch. 13:17) and Jaezer (ch. 13:25: see at Num 21:32). Verse 40-42. They received twelve towns in all. - In vv. 41 and 42 the list of the Levitical towns is closed with a statement of their total number, and also with the repetition of the remark that "these cities were every one with their suburbs round about them." wm' `iyr (OT:5892) `iyr (OT:5892), city city, i.e., every city, with its pasture round about it.

Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. Vv. 43-45 form the conclusion to the account of the division of the land in ch. 13-21, which not only points back to Josh 11:23, but also to ch. 1:2-6, and connects the two halves of our book together. By the division of Canaan among the tribes of Israel, the promise which Joshua had received from God after the death of Moses was fulfilled (Josh 1:2ff.). The Lord had given Israel the whole land which He had sworn to the fathers (Gen 12:7; 15:18, compared with Josh 1:3-4); and they had now taken possession of it to dwell therein. Verse 44. He had also procured them rest round about, as He had sworn to their fathers, inasmuch as not a man of all their enemies stood against them. The expression "gave them rest," etc., points back to Deut 12:9-10, and refers to all the divine promises of the Pentateuch which assured the Israelites of the peaceable possession of Canaan, such as Ex 33:14; Deut 3:20, etc. No enemy had been able to withstand them, as the Lord had promised Joshua (Josh 1:5). "The Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand." It is true the Canaanites were not all exterminated; but those who were left had become so powerless, that they could neither accomplish nor attempt anything against Israel, so long as the Israelites adhered faithfully to their God, or so long as Joshua and the elders who were his contemporaries were alive (Judg 2:6ff.), because the Lord had overwhelmed them with fear and terror before the Israelites. (Note: "If any one should raise a question as to their actual peace, the solution is easy enough. The tribes of Canaan were so alarmed and broken down with their fear, that in their opinion nothing could serve their purpose better than to purchase peace from the children of Israel by the most obsequious servility. Clearly, therefore, the land was subdued and their home at peace, since no one disturbed them, or attempted anything against them; there were no threats, no snares, no violence, and no conspiracy." - Calvin. ) Verse 45.
