Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament with Jehovah, the God of Israel?" i.e., He does not concern you; He is our God. "Jehovah has made the Jordan a boundary between us and your sons; ye have no part in Jehovah. Thus your sons might make our sons cease to fear Jehovah," i.e., might make them desist from the worship of Jehovah (for the infinitive form yªro' (OT:3372) instead of the abbreviated form leero' (OT:3372) used in 1 Sam 18:29, there are analogies in yªtsoq (OT:3332) in Ezek 24:3, and liyshown (OT:3462), Eccl 5:11, whereas yirª'aah (OT:3374) is the only form used in the Pentateuch). There was some reason for this anxiety. For, inasmuch as in all the promises and laws Canaan alone (the land on this side of the Jordan, Num 34:1-12) is always mentioned as the land which Jehovah would give to His people for their inheritance, it was quite a possible thing that at some future time the false conclusion might be drawn from this, that only the tribes who dwelt in Canaan proper were the true people of Jehovah. Joshua 22:26-28 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: "So we thought, we will make ourselves to build an altar (an expression derived from the language of ordinary life, for 'we will build ourselves an altar'), not for burntofferings and slain-offerings; but it shall be a http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos136.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:30 p.m.]

Keil and Delitzsch ong>Commentaryong> on the Old Testament witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Jehovah before His face (i.e., before the tabernacle in which Jehovah was enthroned), with our burnt-offerings, slain-offerings, and peaceofferings," - in order, as they repeat in v. 27b from vv. 24, 25, that they might not be denied a part in Jehovah in time to come. For if it should so happen in time to come, that this should be said to them and to their descendants, they would say (or reply), "Behold the copy of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burntofferings," etc. (v. 28b, as in vv. 26b, 27a). For this reason they had built the altar according to the pattern of the altar before the tabernacle, and that not in their own land, but on the western side of the Jordan, where the dwelling-place of Jehovah was standing, as a witness that they worshipped one and the same God with the tribes on this side. Joshua 22:29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle. The speakers conclude with an expression of horror at the thought of rebelling against Jehovah. mimenuw (OT:4480) laanuw (OT:3807a ) chaaliylaah (OT:2486), "far be it from us away from Him ( mimenuw (OT:4480) = meeyhaaowh , 1 Sam 24:7; 26:11; 1 Kings 21:3), to rebel against Jehovah," etc. Joshua 22:30-31 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them. http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos137.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:31 p.m.]
