together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites

on Joshua 22:32-34

The King James prints the name Ed in italics because the Masoretic text lacks it. A few Hebrew manuscripts, with the Syriac and Arabic, carry it, as Clarke and Barnes set out. Ed means witness, and the sentence it heads is a confession, "that the LORD is God".
