Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 22:18
But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
To-morrow, i.e. suddenly, as that word is oft used, as Mat 6:30; 1Co 15:32.
He will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel; with you for doing so, and with us for suffering, or not punishing it.

But that you must turn away this day from following the Lord?…. From the worship of the Lord, as the Targum, and so on
Jos 22:16; not content with the former transgression, but must add this revolt unto it, and at a time which sadly aggravates it:
and it will be, that [seeing] ye rebel to, day against the Lord; against the Word of the Lord, as the Targum, and so on Jos 22:16;
that tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel; or, in a little time, if a stop is not put to this revolt, the whole body of the people will suffer for it: here they express a concern for the whole nation of Israel, as well as for the glory of God; for sometimes the whole congregation has been charged with the sins of individuals, and punished for it, as a case after mentioned shows; see Jos 7:1.
