Joshua 22:6

So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

Ver. 6. So Joshua blessed them.] That is, He besought God to bless them, and so took a friendly farewell of them: they had both his benediction and his valediction at parting. Courtesy may very well stand with piety, so it be real and heart sprung.
