Joshua, starting at chapter 22
{22:1} Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh, {22:2} and said to them, You have kept all
that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have listened to
my voice in all that I commanded you. {22:3} You have not left your
brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of
the commandment of the LORD your God. {22:4} Now the LORD your God has
given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return
and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the
servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan. {22:5} Only take
diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the
servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk
in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
{22:6} So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to
their tents. {22:7} Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had
given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among
their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent
them away to their tents, he blessed them, {22:8} and spoke to them,
saying, Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much
livestock, with silver, with gold, with brass, with iron, and with
very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your
brothers.
{22:9} The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of
Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the
land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned,
according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses. {22:10} When they
came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan,
the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of
Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
{22:11} The children of Israel heard this, Behold, the children of
Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have
built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region
about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of
Israel. {22:12} When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole
congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at
Shiloh, to go up against them to war. {22:13} The children of Israel
sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the
half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of
Eleazar the priest, {22:14} and with him ten princes, one prince of a
fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were
everyone of them head of their fathers' houses among the thousands of
Israel. {22:15} They came to the children of Reuben, and to the
children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of
Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying, {22:16} Thus says the whole
congregation of the LORD, 'What trespass is this that you have
committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from
following the LORD, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to
rebel this day against the LORD? {22:17} Is the iniquity of Peor too
little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day,
although there came a plague on the congregation of the LORD, {22:18}
that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? It will be,
since you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be angry
with the whole congregation of Israel. {22:19} However, if the land of
your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the
possession of the LORD, in which the LORD's tabernacle dwells, and
take possession among us; but don't rebel against the LORD, nor rebel
against us, in building an altar other than the altar of the LORD our
God. {22:20} Didn't Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the
devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That
man didn't perish alone in his iniquity.'
{22:21} Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the
thousands of Israel, {22:22} The Mighty One, God, the LORD, the
Mighty One, God, the LORD, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was
in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD (don't save us this
day), {22:23} that we have built us an altar to turn away from
following the LORD; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or
if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let the LORD himself
require it.
{22:24} If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason,
saying, 'In time to come your children might speak to our children,
saying, What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel? {22:25}
For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you
