Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren,

as he promised them,.... As in Joshua 21:44; see Deuteronomy 12:9,

therefore now return ye, and get ye unto your tents; not their military tents in the army, from which they now came to Joshua, but their houses, as the Greek version, and their cities, as the Targum; they having been so long used to tents in the wilderness, and during the wars in Canaan, this was a familiar word for their dwellings:

and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you, on the other side Jordan; before his death, on condition of doing what they now had done; even the land of Gilead and Bashan, beyond Jordan.

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

Joshua 22:4 points back to Joshua 1:15. "Unto your tents," for to your homes, - an antiquated form of expression, as in Deuteronomy 16:7; Judges 7:8, etc.

Geneva Study Bible

And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

Wesley's Notes

22:4 Your tents - That is, to your settled habitations. Tho' their affections to their families could not but make them very desirous to return, yet like good soldiers, they would not move 'till they had orders from their general. So, tho' we desire to be at home with Christ ever so much, yet we must stay here till our warfare is accomplished, wait for a due discharge, and not anticipate the time of our removal.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4-7. get you unto your tents-that is, home; for their families had been left in fortified towns (Nu 32:17).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:1-9 Joshua dismisses the tribes with good counsel. Those who have the commandment have it in vain, unless they do the commandment; and it will not be done aright unless we take diligent heed. In particular to love the Lord our God, as the best of beings, and the best of friends; and as far as that principle rules in the heart, there will be constant care and endeavour to walk in his ways, even those that are narrow and up-hill. In every instance to keep his commandments. At all times, and in all conditions, with purpose of heart to cleave unto the Lord, and to serve him and his kingdom among men, with all our heart, and with all our soul. This good counsel is given to all; may God give us grace to take it!

Hebrews 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.

Exodus 33:14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

Numbers 32:18 We will not return to our homes until every Israelite has received his inheritance.

Deuteronomy 3:20 until the LORD gives rest to your brothers as he has to you, and they too have taken over the land that the LORD your God is giving them, across the Jordan. After that, each of you may go back to the possession I have given you."

Joshua 1:15 until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

Joshua 22:3 For a long time now--to this very day--you have not deserted your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you.
