Contextual Overview
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Joshua: Numbers 32:18-33, Deuteronomy 29:7, Deuteronomy 29:8
Reubenites: We have already seen, that a detachment of 40,000 men, of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, had passed over Jordan armed, with their brethren, according to their agreement with Moses. The war being now concluded, the land divided, and their brethren settled, Joshua assembles these warriors; and with commendations for their services and fidelity, he dismisses them, having fist given them the most pious and suitable instructions. They had now been about seven years absent from their respective families; and though there was only the river Jordan between the camp of Gilgal and their own inheritance, yet it does not appear that they had, during that time, ever revisited their home, which they might have done at any time of the year, except the harvest, as the river was at other times easily fordable.

Cross-References
Isaac turned to Abraham and said, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "We have the fire and the wood," the boy said, "but where is the sheep for the burnt offering?"
At that moment the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Yes," Abraham replied. "Here I am!"
"Don't lay a hand on the boy!" the angel said. "Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son."
Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means "the Lord will provide"). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided."
When the Lord saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, "Moses! Moses!" "Here I am!" Moses replied.

Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands.
He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good.
do not listen to them. The Lord your God is testing you to see if you truly love him with all your heart and soul.
I did this to test Israel—to see whether or not they would follow the ways of the Lord as their ancestors did."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh. The promise of God to Israel being fulfilled, the land of Canaan being for the most part subdued, the war at an end, and rest had on all sides from their enemies, and the land divided among the nine tribes and an half, and they settled in the quiet possession of their lots; Joshua sent for the two tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, who had, at their own request, their portion allotted them on the other side Jordan, and who came over that river with him to assist their brethren in their wars with the Canaanites, and addressed them in the following respectable manner.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The events of this chap. are no doubt recorded in their proper historical order. The auxiliary forces of the trans-Jordanic tribes were not sent away immediately after the campaigns against the Canaanites were over. They set forth from Shiloh, Joshua 22:9, to which place the sanctuary had been removed Joshua 18:1 after the conquest and the settlement of the children of Judah and of Joseph in their possessions, and after the appointment of the Levitical cities.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXII
Joshua assembles, commends, blesses, and then dismisses the two
tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 1-8.
They return and build an altar by the side of Jordan, 9, 10.
The rest of the Israelites hearing of this, and suspecting that
they had built the altar for idolatrous purposes, or to make a
schism in the national worship, prepare to go to war with them,
11, 12;
but first send a deputation to know the truth, 13, 14.
They arrive and expostulate with their brethren, 15-20.
The Reubenites, Gadites, and half tribe of Manasseh, make a
noble defence, and show that their altar was built as a
monument only to prevent idolatry, 21-29.
The deputation are satisfied, and return to the ten tribes and
make their report, 30-32.
The people rejoice and praise God, 33;
and the Reubenites and Gadites call the altar they had raised
Ed, that it might be considered a witness between them and
their brethren on the other side Jordan, 34.
