Contextual Overview

¹⁰ The people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh went to Geliloth, near the Jordan River in the land of Canaan. There they built a beautiful altar. ¹¹ The other Israelites still at Shiloh heard about the altar these three tribes built at the border of Canaan at Geliloth, near the Jordan River on Israel's side. ¹² All the Israelites became very angry at these three tribes, so they met together and decided to fight them. ¹³ The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to Gilead to talk to the people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh. ¹⁴ They also sent one leader from each of the ten tribes at Shiloh. Each of them was a leader of his family group of Israelites. ¹⁵ These leaders went to Gilead to talk to the people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh. They said: ¹⁶ "All the Israelites ask you: ‘Why did you turn against the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? You know that this is against God's law. ¹⁷ Remember what happened at Peor? We still suffer today because of that sin, for which God made many Israelites very sick. ¹⁸ And now are you turning against the Lord and refusing to follow him? "‘If you don't stop what you're doing today, the Lord will be angry with everyone in Israel tomorrow. ¹⁹ If your land is unclean, come over into our land where the Lord 's Tent is. Share it with us. But don't turn against the Lord and us by building another altar for the Lord our God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince,

throughout all the tribes of Israel,.... The nine tribes and a half, so that the half tribe of Manasseh sent a prince, as well as the whole tribes:

and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel; that is, among the rulers of the thousands of Israel; and so the Greek version calls them Chiliarchs, rulers of thousands; for the people were divided into tens, fifties, hundreds, and thousands, over whom there were distinct rulers, Exodus 18:25. Now these were among the chief of them, of the highest rank and authority; they were the chief princes, heads of several tribes; a very honourable deputation this! the son of the high priest, and ten princes, the heads of the tribes; these were chosen and sent, partly in honour to their brethren beyond Jordan, and partly that they might carry the greater authority with them, and prevail upon them to hearken to them.
