Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament ('settle,' as in Gen 34:10); but do not rebel against Jehovah nor against us, by building an altar beside the (one) altar of Jehovah our God." maarad (OT:4775) is construed first of all with bª , and then with the accusative; the only other place in which the latter occurs is Job. Josh 24:13. Joshua 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. He finally reminded them of the sin of Achan, how that had brought the wrath of God upon the whole congregation (ch. 7); and, moreover, Achan was not the only man who had perished on account of the sin, but thirty-six men had fallen on account of it at the first attack upon Ai (Josh 7:5). The allusion to this fact is to be understood as an argument a minori ad majus , as Masius has shown. "If Achan did not perish alone when he http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos135.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:27 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament committed sacrilege, but God was angry with the whole congregation, what think ye will be the consequence if ye, so great a number, commit so grievous a sin against God?" Joshua 22:21-25 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, In utter amazement at the suspicion expressed by the delegates of the congregation, the two tribes and a half affirm with a solemn oath, that it never entered into their minds to build an altar as a place of sacrifice, to fall away from Jehovah. The combination of the three names of God-El, the strong one; Elohim, the Supreme Being to be feared; and Jehovah, the truly existing One, the covenant God (v. 22) - serves to strengthen the invocation of God, as in Ps 50:1; and this is strengthened still further by the repetition of these three names. God knows, and let Israel also know, sc., what they intended, and what they have done. The 'im (OT:518) which follows is the usual particle used in an oath. "Verily (it was) not in rebellion, nor in apostasy from Jehovah," sc., that this was done, or that we built the altar. "Mayst Thou not help us to-day," sc., if we did it in rebellion against God. An appeal addressed immediately to God in the heat of the statement, and introduced in the midst of the asseveration, which was meant to remove all doubt as to the truth of their declaration. The words which follow in v. 23, "that we have built," etc., continue the oath: "If we have done this, to build us an altar, to turn away from the Lord, or to offer thereon burnt-offering, meat-offering, or peace-offering, may Jehovah himself require it ( daarash (OT:1875), as in Deut 18:19; cf. 1 Sam 20:16). Another earnest parenthetical adjuration, as the substance of the oath, is continued in v. 24. "But truly ( lo' (OT:3808) wª'im (OT:518), with an affirmative signification) from anxiety, for a reason ( lit. on account of a thing) have we done this, thinking ( lee'mor (OT:559), since we thought) in time to come your sons might say to our sons, What have ye to do http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos136.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:30 p.m.]
