Context — The Altar of Witness

10And when they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an imposing altar there by the Jordan. 11Then the Israelites received the report: “Behold, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the border of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side.”

12And when they heard this, the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.

13The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the land of Gilead, to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 14With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.

1	Judges 20:1–11	Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah. The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords. (Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?” So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night. And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died. Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel. Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.” Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house. Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates. We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.” So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.

Joshua 22:12 Summary

The whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go to war against the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh because they thought these tribes were building an altar to worship other gods, which would have been a violation of God's commands in Deuteronomy 12:1-14. However, as we see in the surrounding verses, there was a misunderstanding that needed to be resolved. This verse teaches us that unity and cooperation are important, and that we should strive to understand each other's perspectives before taking action, as encouraged in Proverbs 18:13 and James 1:19-20. By looking at the whole story, we can learn the importance of communication and seeking to understand each other, as seen in Joshua 22:13-34.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the congregation of Israel assemble at Shiloh to go to war against the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh?

They assembled because they heard that these tribes had built an altar, which they perceived as a threat to their unity and a potential return to idolatry, as seen in the book of Judges 2:10-15 and Deuteronomy 12:1-14.

What was the significance of the location of the altar built by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh?

The altar was built at Geliloth near the Jordan, on the border of the land of Canaan, which was on the Israelite side, as mentioned in Joshua 22:10-11, and this location was significant because it was near the point of separation between the eastern and western tribes.

How did the Israelites plan to address the situation with the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh?

The Israelites planned to send a delegation, led by Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the land of Gilead to investigate and resolve the issue, as seen in Joshua 22:13-14, similar to how Moses sent spies to Canaan in Numbers 13:1-3.

What can we learn from the Israelites' reaction to the altar built by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh?

We can learn that unity and conformity to God's commands are crucial, as emphasized in Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and Leviticus 26:1, and that any perceived threat to this unity should be addressed promptly and carefully, as seen in Acts 15:1-35.

Reflection Questions

How do I respond when I perceive a threat to the unity of my church or community, and what can I learn from the Israelites' reaction in this verse?
In what ways can I strive for unity and cooperation with my fellow believers, as encouraged in Psalms 133:1 and Ephesians 4:1-16?
What are some potential consequences of miscommunication and misunderstanding, as seen in this verse, and how can I work to avoid them in my own relationships?
How can I balance the need for unity with the need for individual expression and freedom, as discussed in Galatians 5:1 and Romans 14:1-15:7?

Trapp's Commentary on Joshua 22:12

Joshua 22:12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.Ver. 12. To go up to war against them.] According to Deuteronomy 13:13, &c., so blessedly blown up were they with a zeal for God - the Levites also and Manassites, though of the same tribe; howbeit this holy fire was not without some smoke.

Ellicott's Commentary on Joshua 22:12

(12) To go up to war against them.—There is no more striking proof of Israel’s obedience to the law and veneration for it in the days of Joshua than this. A single altar to Jehovah, besides the one in Shiloh. is sufficient cause for war against the builders of it. But see what is the language of the prophet. “According to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to Bosheth (disgrace), even altars to burn incense to Baal” (Jeremiah 11:13). What stronger proof could we require of the veracity of the narrative in this place, and that it is genuine contemporary history? What writer of the days of Jeremiah, to which date some have referred the Book of Deuteronomy and its requirements, could have conceived such a scene as this, when altars to Jehovah on the high places were hardly regarded as illegal, and altars to Baal were as numerous as the very streets? Another passage in a different part of the Old Testament corroborates indirectly, but in a striking manner, the tone of this (Nehemiah 8:17): “The congregation. . . . made booths, and sat under the booths” (as required by the law of Moses in the Feast of Tabernacles); “for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joshua 22:12

Verse 12. To go up to war against them.] Supposing that they had built this altar in opposition to that which Moses, by the command of God, had erected, and were consequently become rebels against God and the Israelitish constitution, and should be treated as such. Their great concern for the glory of God led them to take this step, which at first view might appear precipitate; but, that they might do nothing rashly, they first sent Phinehas and ten princes, one out of each tribe, to require an explanation of their motives in erecting this altar.

Cambridge Bible on Joshua 22:12

12. gathered themselves together] The act of their trans-Jordanic brethren, done without any authority of the High Priest, appeared at first sight to be a direct infringement of the express commands against another altar and other worship (Leviticus 17:8-9; Deuteronomy 12:5-7; Deuteronomy 13:12-18). It was open to the suspicion that they meant, if not to adopt another worship, at least to set up another and an independent establishment for worship, which, besides the obvious tendency to idolatry, could not fail in the event to destroy the connection by which the tribes were linked together. “The obligation of all the Israelites to resort three times in the year for worship to the sole altar of the people, was admirably suited to retain them as one people by continually keeping before their minds their common origin and common obligations; but if a separate establishment were allowed to exist there could be no difficulty in divining that they would cease to put themselves to the trouble of visiting the parent establishment in Canaan, and would, in no long time, come to regard themselves, with a country so congenial to their pastoral character and a geographical separation so complete, as a distinct people.”

Barnes' Notes on Joshua 22:12

Gathered themselves together - The various tribes had already dispersed to their homes, and were now summoned together again.

Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 22:12

12. The children of Israel gathered themselves together — The news produced the greatest consternation, and caused an uprising of all the tribes.
