Joshua 22:18 meaning
In a pivotal moment during the Israelites' transition from conquest to settlement, a misunderstanding arose concerning the altar built by the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. After his farewell, Joshua encouraged these tribes to remain devoted to the commands of God. This exhortation ensures they understood the importance of loyalty to Yahweh, especially after their substantial contributions to military campaigns. In this context, it challenges us to consider how our own expressions of faith may sometimes be misinterpreted by others.
