2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
2 and said to them, "You have done all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded.
2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you.
2 He said: "You have carried out everything Moses the servant of God commanded you, and you have obediently done everything I have commanded you.
2 and said to them: "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
2 He told them, "You have done as Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you, and you have obeyed every order I have given you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 22:2
Commentary on Joshua 22:1-9
(Read Joshua 22:1-9)
Joshua dismisses the tribes with good counsel. Those who have the commandment have it in vain, unless they do the commandment; and it will not be done aright unless we take diligent heed. In particular to love the Lord our God, as the best of beings, and the best of friends; and as far as that principle rules in the heart, there will be constant care and endeavour to walk in his ways, even those that are narrow and up-hill. In every instance to keep his commandments. At all times, and in all conditions, with purpose of heart to cleave unto the Lord, and to serve him and his kingdom among men, with all our heart, and with all our soul. This good counsel is given to all; may God give us grace to take it!
