22:1 At
that
time
Joshua
summoned
the
Reubenites
and
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
obeyed
my
voice
in
all
that
I
have
commanded
you.
22:3 You
have
not
forsaken
your
brothers
these
many
days,
down
to
this
day,
but
have
been
careful
to
keep
the
charge
of
the
LORD
your
God.
22:4 And
now
the
LORD
your
God
has
given
rest
to
your
brothers,
as
he
promised
them.
Therefore
turn
and
go
to
your
tents
in
the
land
where
your
possession
lies,
which
Moses
the
servant
of
the
LORD
gave
you
on
the
other
side
of
the
Jordan.
22:5 Only
be
very
careful
to
observe
the
commandment
and
the
law
that
Moses
the
servant
of
the
LORD
commanded
you,
to
love
the
LORD
your
God,
and
to
walk
in
all
his
ways
and
to
keep
his
commandments
and
to
cling
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
of
the
tribe
of
Manasseh
Moses
had
given
a
possession
in
Bashan,
but
to
the
other
half
Joshua
had
given
a
possession
beside
their
brothers
in
the
land
west
of
the
Jordan.
And
when
Joshua
sent
them
away
to
their
homes
and
blessed
them,
22:8 he
said
to
them,
"Go
back
to
your
tents
with
much
wealth
and
with
very
much
livestock,
with
silver,
gold,
bronze,
and
iron,
and
with
much
clothing.
Divide
the
spoil
of
your
enemies
with
your
brothers."
22:9 So
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
returned
home,
parting
from
the
people
of
Israel
at
Shiloh,
which
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
go
to
the
land
of
Gilead,
their
own
land
of
which
they
had
possessed
themselves
by
command
of
the
LORD
through
Moses.
22:10 And
when
they
came
to
the
region
of
the
Jordan
that
is
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
built
there
an
altar
by
the
Jordan,
an
altar
of
imposing
size.
22:11 And
the
people
of
Israel
heard
it
said,
"Behold,
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
have
built
the
altar
at
the
frontier
of
the
land
of
Canaan,
in
the
region
about
the
Jordan,
on
the
side
that
belongs
to
the
people
of
Israel."
22:12 And
when
the
people
of
Israel
heard
of
it,
the
whole
assembly
of
the
people
of
Israel
gathered
at
Shiloh
to
make
war
against
them.
22:13 Then
the
people
of
Israel
sent
to
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
in
the
land
of
Gilead,
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
22:14 and
with
him
ten
chiefs,
one
from
each
of
the
tribal
families
of
Israel,
every
one
of
them
the
head
of
a
family
among
the
clans
of
Israel.
22:15 And
they
came
to
the
people
of
Reuben,
the
people
of
Gad,
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
in
the
land
of
Gilead,
and
they
said
to
them,
22:16 "Thus
says
the
whole
congregation
of
the
LORD,
'What
is
this
breach
of
faith
that
you
have
committed
against
the
God
of
Israel
in
turning
away
this
day
from
following
the
LORD
by
building
yourselves
an
altar
this
day
in
rebellion
against
the
LORD
22:17 Have
we
not
had
enough
of
the
sin
at
Peor
from
which
even
yet
we
have
not
cleansed
ourselves,
and
for
which
there
came
a
plague
upon
the
congregation
of
the
LORD,
22:18 that
you
too
must
turn
away
this
day
from
following
the
LORD
And
if
you
too
rebel
against
the
LORD
today
then
tomorrow
he
will
be
angry
with
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel.
22:19 But
now,
if
the
land
of
your
possession
is
unclean,
pass
over
into
the
LORD's
land
where
the
LORD's
tabernacle
stands,
and
take
for
yourselves
a
possession
among
us.
Only
do
not
rebel
against
the
LORD
or
make
us
as
rebels
by
building
for
yourselves
an
altar
other
than
the
altar
of
the
LORD
our
God.
22:20 Did
not
Achan
the
son
of
Zerah
break
faith
in
the
matter
of
the
devoted
things,
and
wrath
fell
upon
all
the
congregation
of
Israel
And
he
did
not
perish
alone
for
his
iniquity.'"
22:21 Then
the
people
of
Reuben,
the
people
of
Gad,
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
said
in
answer
to
the
heads
of
the
families
of
Israel,
22:22 "The
Mighty
One,
God,
the
LORD!
The
Mighty
One,
God,
the
LORD!
He
knows;
and
let
Israel
itself
know!
If
it
was
in
rebellion
or
in
breach
of
faith
against
the
LORD,
do
not
spare
us
today
22:23 for
building
an
altar
to
turn
away
from
following
the
LORD.
Or
if
we
did
so
to
offer
burnt
offerings
or
grain
offerings
or
peace
offerings
on
it,
may
the
LORD
himself
take
vengeance.
22:24 No,
but
we
did
it
from
fear
that
in
time
to
come
your
children
might
say
to
our
children,
'What
have
you
to
do
with
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel
22:25 For
the
LORD
has
made
the
Jordan
a
boundary
between
us
and
you,
you
people
of
Reuben
and
people
of
Gad.
You
have
no
portion
in
the
LORD.'
So
your
children
might
make
our
children
cease
to
worship
the
LORD.
22:26 Therefore
we
said,
'Let
us
now
build
an
altar,
not
for
burnt
offering,
nor
for
sacrifice,
22:27 but
to
be
a
witness
between
us
and
you,
and
between
our
generations
after
us,
that
we
do
perform
the
service
of
the
LORD
in
his
presence
with
our
burnt
offerings
and
sacrifices
and
peace
offerings,
so
your
children
will
not
say
to
our
children
in
time
to
come,
"You
have
no
portion
in
the
LORD."'
22:28 And
we
thought,
If
this
should
be
said
to
us
or
to
our
descendants
in
time
to
come,
we
should
say,
'Behold,
the
copy
of
the
altar
of
the
LORD,
which
our
fathers
made,
not
for
burnt
offerings,
nor
for
sacrifice,
but
to
be
a
witness
between
us
and
you.'
22:29 Far
be
it
from
us
that
we
should
rebel
against
the
LORD
and
turn
away
this
day
from
following
the
LORD
by
building
an
altar
for
burnt
offering,
grain
offering,
or
sacrifice,
other
than
the
altar
of
the
LORD
our
God
that
stands
before
his
tabernacle!"
22:30 When
Phinehas
the
priest
and
the
chiefs
of
the
congregation,
the
heads
of
the
families
of
Israel
who
were
with
him,
heard
the
words
that
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
people
of
Manasseh
spoke,
it
was
good
in
their
eyes.
22:31 And
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest
said
to
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
and
the
people
of
Manasseh,
"Today
we
know
that
the
LORD
is
in
our
midst,
because
you
have
not
committed
this
breach
of
faith
against
the
LORD.
Now
you
have
delivered
the
people
of
Israel
from
the
hand
of
the
LORD."
22:32 Then
Phinehas
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
the
chiefs,
returned
from
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
in
the
land
of
Gilead
to
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
the
people
of
Israel,
and
brought
back
word
to
them.
22:33 And
the
report
was
good
in
the
eyes
of
the
people
of
Israel.
And
the
people
of
Israel
blessed
God
and
spoke
no
more
of
making
war
against
them
to
destroy
the
land
where
the
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
were
settled.
22:34 The
people
of
Reuben
and
the
people
of
Gad
called
the
altar
Witness,
"For,"
they
said,
"it
is
a
witness
between
us
that
the
LORD
is
God."
