¼ö 22:1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe
of Manasseh
¼ö 22:2 and said to them, "You have done all that Moses the servant
of the LORD commanded, and you have obeyed me in everything I commanded.
¼ö 22:3 For a long time now--to this very day--you have not deserted
your brothers but have carried out the mission the LORD your God gave you.
¼ö 22:4 Now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as
he promised, return to your homes in the land that M oses the servant of
the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
¼ö 22:5 But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that
Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love th e LORD your God, to
walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to
serve him with all your heart and all your soul."
¼ö 22:6 Then Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went
to their homes.
¼ö 22:7 (To the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given land in Bashan,
and to the other half of the tribe Joshua gave l and on the west side of
the Jordan with their brothers.) When Joshua sent them home, he blessed
them,
¼ö 22:8 saying, "Return to your homes with your great wealth--with
large herds of livestock, with silver, gold, br onze and iron, and a great
quantity of clothing--and divide with your brothers the plunder from your
enemies."
¼ö 22:9 So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh
left the Israelites at Shiloh in Canaan to return to Gilead, their own
land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the LORD
through Moses.

¼ö 22:10 When they came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of
Canaan, the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tri be of Manasseh built
an imposing altar there by the Jordan.
¼ö 22:11 And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar
on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jorda n on the Israelite side,
¼ö 22:12 the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh to go to war
against them.
¼ö 22:13 So the Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,
to the land of Gilead--to Reuben, Gad and the half -tribe of Manasseh.
¼ö 22:14 With him they sent ten of the chief men, one for each of the
tribes of Israel, each the head of a family divis ion among the Israelite
clans.
¼ö 22:15 When they went to Gilead--to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe
of Manasseh--they said to them:
¼ö 22:16 "The whole assembly of the LORD says: 'How could you break
faith with the God of Israel like this? How co uld you turn away from the
LORD and build yourselves an altar in rebellion against him now?
¼ö 22:17 Was not the sin of Peor enough for us? Up to this very day
we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell
on the community of the LORD!
¼ö 22:18 And are you now turning away from the LORD? "'If you rebel
against the LORD today, tomorrow he will be an gry with the whole community
of Israel.
¼ö 22:19 If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the LORD'S
land, where the LORD'S tabernacle stands, and shar e the land with us.
But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building an altar for
yourselves, other than the altar of the LORD our God.
¼ö 22:20 When Achan son of Zerah acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted
things, did not wrath come upon the whole com munity of Israel? He was
not the only one who died for his sin.'"

¼ö 22:21 Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to
the heads of the clans of Israel:
¼ö 22:22 "The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD!
He knows! And let Israel know! If this has been in rebellion or disobedience
to the LORD, do not spare us this day.
¼ö 22:23 If we have built our own altar to turn away from the LORD
and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship
offerings on it, may the LORD himself call us to account.
¼ö 22:24 "No! We did it for fear that some day your descendants might
say to ours, 'What do you have to do with th e LORD, the God of Israel?
¼ö 22:25 The LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you--you
Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in t he LORD.' So your descendants
might cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
¼ö 22:26 "That is why we said, 'Let us get ready and build an altar--but
not for burnt offerings or sacrifices.'
¼ö 22:27 On the contrary, it is to be a witness between us and you
and the generations that follow, that we will worshi p the LORD at his
sanctuary with our burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings.
Then in the future your desce ndants will not be able to say to ours, 'You
have no share in the LORD.'
¼ö 22:28 "And we said, 'If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants,
we will answer: Look at the replica of the LORD'S altar, which our fathers
built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between
us and you. '
¼ö 22:29 "Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD and turn away
from him today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings
and sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before
his tabernacle. "

¼ö 22:30 When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the community--the
heads of the clans of the Israelites--heard wha t Reuben, Gad and Manasseh
had to say, they were pleased.
¼ö 22:31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to Reuben, Gad
and Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD i s with us, because you have
not acted unfaithfully toward the LORD in this matter. Now you have rescued
the Israelites f rom the LORD'S hand."
¼ö 22:32 Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders
returned to Canaan from their meeting with the Reube nites and Gadites
in Gilead and reported to the Israelites.
¼ö 22:33 They were glad to hear the report and praised God. And they
talked no more about going to war against them to devastate the country
where the Reubenites and the Gadites lived.
¼ö 22:34 And the Reubenites and the Gadites gave the altar this name:
A Witness Between Us that the LORD is God. |
