1
Then
Joshua
called
the Reubenites
,
and the Gadites
,
and the half
tribe
of Manasseh
,
2
And said
unto them, Ye have kept
all
that Moses
the servant
of the LORD
commanded
you, and have obeyed
my voice
in
all
that I
commanded
you:
3
Ye have not left
your brethren
these
many
days
un
to this
day
,
but have kept
the charge
of the commandment
of the LORD
your God
.
4
And
now
the LORD
your God
hath given rest
unto your brethren
,
as he promised
them: therefore
now
return ye, and get
you unto your tents
,
and
unto the land
of your possession
,
which
Moses
the servant
of the LORD
gave
you on the other side
Jordan
.
5
But take diligent
heed
to do
the commandment
and the law
,
which
Moses
the servant
of
the LORD
charged
you, to love
the LORD
your God
, and to walk
in
all
his ways
,
and to keep
his commandments
,
and to cleave
unto him, and to serve
him with
all
your heart
and with
all
your soul
.
6
So Joshua
blessed
them, and sent them away: and they
went
unto their tents
.
7
Now to the
one
half
of the tribe
of Manasseh
Moses
had given
possession
in Bashan
:
but unto the
other
half
thereof gave
Joshua
among
their brethren
on this side
Jordan
westward
.
And
when
Joshua
sent them away
also unto their tents
,
then he blessed
them,
8
And he spake
unto them, saying,
Return
with
much
riches
unto your tents
,
and with very
much
cattle
,
with silver
,
and with gold
,
and with brass
,
and with iron
,
and with very
much
raiment
:
divide
the spoil
of your enemies
with your brethren
.
9
And 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
unto the country
of Gilead
,
to the land
of their possession
,
whereof they were possessed
,
according
to the word
of the LORD
by the hand
of Moses
.
10
And when they came
unto the borders
of Jordan
,
that
are
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 Jordan
,
a great
altar
to see to
.
11
And the children
of Israel
heard
say
,
Behold
, the children
of Reuben
and the children
of Gad
and the half
tribe
of Manasseh
have built
an altar
over against
the land
of Canaan
,
in the borders
of Jordan
,
at the passage
of the children
of Israel
.
12
And when the children
of Israel
heard
of it
,
the whole
congregation
of the children
of Israel
gathered themselves together
at Shiloh
,
to go up
to war
against
them.
13
And the children
of Israel
sent
unto 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
,
14
And with him ten
princes
, of
each
chief
house
a prince
throughout all the tribes
of Israel
;
and
each
one
was
an head
of the
house
of their fathers
among the thousands
of Israel
.
15
And they came
unto the children
of Reuben
,
and to the children
of Gad
,
and to the half
tribe
of Manasseh
,
unto the land
of Gilead
,
and they spake
with them, saying,
16
Thus
saith
the whole
congregation
of
the LORD
,
What
trespass
is
this that ye have committed
against the God
of Israel
,
to turn away
this day
from following
the LORD
,
in that ye have builded
you an altar
,
that ye might rebel
this day
against
the LORD
?
17
Is
the iniquity
of Peor
too little
for us, from
which
we are not cleansed
until this day
,
although there was a plague
in the congregation
of the LORD
,
18
But that ye must turn away
this day
from following
the LORD
? and it will be,
seeing
ye
rebel
to day
against
the LORD
,
that to morrow
he will be wroth
with
the whole
congregation
of Israel
.
19
Notwithstanding
,
if the land
of your possession
be
unclean
,
then
pass ye over
unto the land
of the possession
of the LORD
,
wherein the LORD'S
tabernacle
dwelleth
,
and take possession
among
us: but
rebel
not
against
the LORD
, nor
rebel
against
us, in building
you an altar
beside
the altar
of the LORD
our God
.
20
Did not Achan
the son
of Zerah
commit
a trespass
in the accursed thing
,
and wrath
fell
on
all
the congregation
of
Israel
? and that man
perished
not
alone
in his iniquity
.
21
Then the children
of Reuben
and the children
of Gad
and the half
tribe
of Manasseh
answered
,
and said
unto the heads
of the thousands
of Israel
,
22
The LORD
God
of gods
,
the LORD
God
of gods
,
he knoweth
,
and Israel
he shall know
;
if
it be
in rebellion
,
or
if
in transgression
against
the LORD
,
(save
us not
this
day
,)
23
That we have built
us an altar
to turn
from following
the LORD
,
or
if
to offer
thereon burnt offering
or meat offering
,
or
if
to offer
peace
offerings
thereon, let
the LORD
himself require
it
;
24
And if we have not
rather
done
it for fear
of
this
thing
,
saying
,
In time to come
your children
might speak
unto our children
,
saying
,
What
have ye to do with the LORD
God of
Israel
?
25
For
the LORD
hath made
Jordan
a border
between
us and you, ye children
of Reuben
and children
of Gad
;
ye
have
no part
in
the LORD
:
so shall y
our children
make
our children
cease
from
fearing
the LORD
.
26
Therefore we said
,
Let us now prepare
to build
us an altar
,
not for burnt offering
,
nor for sacrifice
:
27
But
that
it
may be
a witness
between
us, and you, and our generations
after
us, that we might do
the service
of the LORD
before
him with our burnt offerings
,
and with our sacrifices
,
and with our peace offerings
;
that your children
may not say
to our children
in time to come
,
Ye
have
no part
in the LORD
.
28
Therefore said
we, that it shall be, when they should
so
say
to us or to our generations
in time to
come
,
that we may say
again
, Behold
the pattern
of the altar
of the LORD
,
which
our fathers
made
,
not for burnt offerings
,
nor for sacr
if
ices
;
but it
is
a witness
between
us and you.
29
God forbid
that we
should
rebel
against
the LORD
,
and turn
this day
from following
the LORD
,
to build
an altar
for burnt offerings
,
for meat offerings
,
or for sacrifices
,
beside the altar
of
the LORD
our God
that
is
before
his tabernacle
.
30
And when Phinehas
the priest
,
and the princes
of the congregation
and heads
of the thousands
of Israel
which
were
with him, heard
the words
that the children
of Reuben
and the children
of Gad
and the children
of Manasseh
spake
, it pleased them.
31
And Phinehas
the son
of Eleazar
the priest
said
unto
the children
of Reuben
,
and to
the children
of Gad
,
and to
the children
of Manasseh
,
This day
we perceive
that the LORD
is
among
us,
because
ye have not committed
this
trespass
against the LORD
:
now
ye have delivered
the children
of Israel
out of the hand
of the LORD
.
32
And Phinehas
the son
of Eleazar
the priest
,
and the princes
,
returned
from the children
of Reuben
,
and
from the children
of Gad
,
out of the land
of Gilead
,
unto the land
of Canaan
,
to the children
of Israel
, and brought
them word
again
.
33
And the thing
pleased
the children
of Israel
;
and
the children
of Israel
blessed
God
,
and did not intend
to go up
against
them in battle
,
to destroy
the land
wherein
the children
of Reuben
and Gad
dwelt
.
34
And the children
of Reuben
and the children
of Gad
called
the altar
Ed
: for it
shall be
a witness
between
us that the LORD
is
God
.
