Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 49. - When they had made an end. The LXX., both here and in ver. 51, reads ׃תנךו יךהת יֵלְכוּ The last thing Joshua thought of was himself. It was only when his work was done, and Israel had received her allotted territory, that Joshua thought it right to take his own inheritance. Calvin remarks that it was "a striking proof of the moderation of this servant of God" that he "thought not of his own interest until that of the community was secured."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(49, 50) When they had made an end . . . gave an inheritance to Joshua . . . according to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim (Kefr Haris, sheet 14).--Historically and typically the fact is noticeable. (a) Historically. Joshua waited for his own inheritance until the last. He sought not his own interest, but that of the people. He asked no kingdom for himself or his family, only a city, which he built, and dwelt therein. (6) Typically. "They gave him the city which he asked, according to the word of the Lord." What does this mean in the case of the true Joshua? "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession." He must reign till God hath put all enemies under His feet. Then, and not till then, will He take His own personal inheritance, and be subject to Him that put all things under Him. Timnath-serah means an abundant portion, a portion of abundance. Though small, it was enough for Joshua. It will be enough for his Antitype, when "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and be satisfied." It is afterwards called Timnath-heres, the portion of the Sun. "His going forth is from the end of heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
