Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Thou didst divide them into corners. i.e. "didst plant them in every corner of the Holy Land," - "gave them to possess the whole of it," - ultimately, that is, not at first (see the comment on ver. 8). The land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon. The Levites must have known that Sihon was king of Heshbon, and (if the text is sound) must have expressed themselves as they did, by way of rhetorical amplification; perhaps, however, the van after "Sihon" is the mistake of a copyist.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Divide them into corners.--Strict usage of the term would require: Thou didst divide unto them [these nations] in their boundaries.And the land.--There is a double reference to Sihon, king of Heshbon. This and Bashan were taken as the earnest of the possession of Canaan.
