Then he blessed them - Spoke respectfully of their fidelity and exertions, wished them every spiritual and temporal good, prayed to God to protect and save them, and probably gave some gifts to those leaders among them that had most distinguished themselves in this seven years’ war. In all the above senses the word bless is frequently taken in Scripture.

The insertion of this explanation about the half tribe, and the repetition of Joshua’ s farewell, are examples of a marked characteristic of very ancient writers and of Hebrew writers as much as any - that of giving a completeness and finish to each section of their story. The Jewish historian scarcely ever quotes or reminds, but repeats so much as may be necessary to make his account of the transaction in hand fully intelligible by itself. (Compare also Jos 13:14, Jos 13:33; Jos 14:3; Jos 18:7.) It is quite possible, however, that the particulars special to Jos 22:8, may be due to some other narrative of the whole event than that to which Jos 22:5 belongs, and may have been interwoven by a later reviser.

Gill: Jos 22:7 - -- Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan,.... The kingdom of Og, see Deu 3:13, but unto the other half ...

Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan,.... The kingdom of Og, see Deu 3:13,

but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward: of which an account is given, and the border of their lot described, Jos 17:1,

and when Joshua sent them also unto their tents, then he blessed them; it seems as if this half tribe was separately dismissed and blessed, they being more nearly related to Joshua, who was of the tribe of Ephraim, and so had a more particular dismission and blessing; and he took his leave of them in a different and affectionate manner. Kimchi makes mention of a Derash, or Exposition of theirs, which says, that after they had taken leave they stayed two days, and returned and took leave a second time, and which he understands of them all, and not of the half tribe only; but it is plainly the half tribe that is only spoken of.
