Commentary on Joshua 22:8
Expositions from classic Bible commentators.
John Gill · Joshua 22:8
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, returned,.... First to the camp to take their substance, and then set forward to their own land:
and departed from the children of Israel; from the rest of them, for otherwise they were children of Israel also:
out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan; for here the camp of Israel was, as well as the tabernacle:
to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession,
whereof they were possessed; Gilead is put for the whole country on the other side Jordan, as the land of Jazer, and the kingdom of Bashan, which the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, were possessed of:
according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses; for when they moved to have that country, Moses, it seems, consulted the Lord about it, who declared it to be his will they should have it, on performing what they promised, see Num 32:1.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Joshua 22:8–9
he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches--in cattle, clothes, and precious metals.
divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren--(See on Num 31:25-39).

Return with much riches - It appears they had their full proportion of the spoils that were taken from the Canaanites, and that these spoils consisted in cattle, silver, gold, brass, iron, and raiment.
Divide the spoil - with your brethren - It was right that those who stayed at home to defend the families of those who had been in the wars, and to cultivate the ground, should have a proper proportion of the spoils taken from the enemy, for had they not acted as they did the others could not have safely left their families.
