Joshua 22:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
2 and told them: "You have carried out all the instructions of Moses the LORD's servant, and you have obeyed all I have told you.
3 You have not abandoned your fellow Israelites this entire time, right up to this very day. You have completed the task given you by the LORD your God.
4 Now the LORD your God has made your fellow Israelites secure, just as he promised them. So now you may turn around and go to your homes in your own land which Moses the LORD's servant assigned to you east of the Jordan.
5 But carefully obey the commands and instructions Moses the LORD's servant gave you. Love the LORD your God, follow all his instructions, obey his commands, be loyal to him, and serve him with all your heart and being!"
6 Joshua rewarded them and sent them on their way; they returned to their homes.
7 (Now to one half-tribe of Manasseh, Moses had assigned land in Bashan; and to the other half Joshua had assigned land on the west side of the Jordan with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home, he rewarded them,
8 saying, "Take home great wealth, a lot of cattle, silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a lot of clothing. Divide up the goods captured from your enemies with your brothers."
9 So the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites in Shiloh in the land of Canaan and headed home to their own land in Gilead, which they acquired by the LORD's command through Moses.
10 The Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh came to Geliloth near the Jordan in the land of Canaan and built there, near the Jordan, an impressive altar.
11 The Israelites received this report: "Look, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the entrance to the land of Canaan, at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side."
12 When the Israelites heard this, the entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh to launch an attack against them.
13 The Israelites sent Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, to the land of Gilead to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
14 He was accompanied by ten leaders, one from each of the Israelite tribes, each one a family leader among the Israelite clans.
15 They went to the land of Gilead to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and said to them:
16 "The entire community of the LORD says, 'Why have you disobeyed the God of Israel by turning back today from following the LORD? You built an altar for yourselves and have rebelled today against the LORD.
17 The sin we committed at Peor was bad enough. To this very day we have not purified ourselves; it even brought a plague on the community of the LORD.
18 Now today you dare to turn back from following the LORD! You are rebelling today against the LORD; tomorrow he may break out in anger against the entire community of Israel.
19 But if your own land is impure, cross over to the LORD's own land, where the LORD himself lives, and settle down among us. But don't rebel against the LORD or us by building for yourselves an altar aside from the altar of the LORD our God.
20 When Achan son of Zerah disobeyed the command about the city's riches, the entire Israelite community was judged, though only one man had sinned. He most certainly died for his sin!'"
21 The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the leaders of the Israelite clans:
22 "El, God, the LORD! El, God, the LORD! He knows the truth! Israel must also know! If we have rebelled or disobeyed the LORD, don't spare us today!
23 If we have built an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the LORD by making burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering tokens of peace on it, the LORD himself will punish us.
24 We swear we have done this because we were worried that in the future your descendants would say to our descendants, 'What relationship do you have with the LORD God of Israel?
25 The LORD made the Jordan a boundary between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no right to worship the LORD.' In this way your descendants might cause our descendants to stop obeying the LORD.
26 So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,
27 but as a reminder to us and you, and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the LORD in his very presence with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, 'You have no right to worship the LORD.'
28 We said, 'If in the future they say such a thing to us or to our descendants, we will reply, "See the model of the LORD's altar that our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a reminder to us and you."'
29 Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD by turning back today from following after the LORD by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace aside from the altar of the LORD our God located in front of his dwelling place!"
30 When Phinehas the priest and the community leaders and clan leaders who accompanied him heard the defense of the Reubenites, Gadites, and the Manassehites, they were satisfied.
31 Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, said to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the Manassehites, "Today we know that the LORD is among us, because you have not disobeyed the LORD in this. Now you have rescued the Israelites from the LORD's judgment."
32 Phinehas, son of Eleazar, the priest, and the leaders left the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead and reported back to the Israelites in the land of Canaan.
33 The Israelites were satisfied with their report and gave thanks to God. They said nothing more about launching an attack to destroy the land in which the Reubenites and Gadites lived.
34 The Reubenites and Gadites named the altar, "Surely it is a Reminder to us that the LORD is God."
1 Then H227 Joshua H3091 called H7121 the Reubenites, H7206 and the Gadites, H1425 and the half H2677 tribe H4294 of Manasseh, H4519
2 And said H559 unto H413 them, Ye H859 have kept H8104 H853 all H3605 that H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 you , and have obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 in all H3605 that H834 I commanded H6680 you:
3 Ye have not H3808 left H5800 H853 your brethren H251 these H2088 many H7227 days H3117 unto H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 but have kept H8104 H853 the charge H4931 of the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God. H430
4 And now H6258 the LORD H3068 your God H430 hath given rest H5117 unto your brethren, H251 as H834 he promised H1696 them : therefore now H6258 return H6437 ye , and get H1980 you unto your tents, H168 and unto H413 the land H776 of your possession, H272 which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 gave H5414 you on the other side H5676 Jordan. H3383
5 But H7535 take diligent H3966 heed H8104 to do H6213 H853 the commandment H4687 and the law, H8451 which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 charged H6680 you , to love H157 H853 the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and to walk H1980 in all H3605 his ways, H1870 and to keep H8104 his commandments, H4687 and to cleave H1692 unto him , and to serve H5647 him with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul. H5315
6 So Joshua H3091 blessed H1288 them , and sent them away: H7971 and they went H1980 unto H413 their tents. H168
7 Now to the one half H2677 of the tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 possession in Bashan: H1316 but unto the other half H2677 thereof gave H5414 Joshua H3091 among H5973 their brethren H251 on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 westward. H3220 And when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent them away H7971 also H1571 unto H413 their tents, H168 then he blessed H1288 them,
8 And he spoke H559 unto H413 them, saying, H559 Return H7725 with much H7227 riches H5233 unto H413 your tents, H168 and with very H3966 much H7227 cattle, H4735 with silver, H3701 and with gold, H2091 and with brass, H5178 and with iron, H1270 and with very H3966 much H7235 raiment: H8008 divide H2505 the spoil H7998 of your enemies H341 with H5973 your brethren. H251
9 And the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 returned, H7725 and departed H1980 from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of Shiloh H4480 H7887 , which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 to go H1980 unto H413 the country H776 of Gilead, H1568 to H413 the land H776 of their possession, H272 whereof H834 they were possessed, H270 according H5921 to the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of Moses. H4872
10 And when they came H935 unto H413 the borders H1552 of Jordan, H3383 that H834 are in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 built H1129 there H8033 an altar H4196 by H5921 Jordan, H3383 a great H1419 altar H4196 to see H4758 to.
11 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 say, H559 Behold, H2009 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 have built H1129 H853 an altar H4196 over against H413 H4136 the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 in H413 the borders H1552 of Jordan, H3383 at H413 the passage H1552 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
12 And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 of it , the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together H6950 at Shiloh, H7887 to go H5927 up to war H6635 against H5921 them.
13 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 and to H413 the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh, H4519 into H413 the land H776 of Gilead, H1568 H853 Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548
14 And with H5973 him ten H6235 princes, H5387 of each chief H5387 H259 H5387 H259 house H1004 a prince H1 throughout all H3605 the tribes H4294 of Israel; H3478 and each one H376 was a head H7218 of the house H1004 of their fathers H1 among the thousands H505 of Israel. H3478
15 And they came H935 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 and to H413 the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh, H4519 unto H413 the land H776 of Gilead, H1568 and they spoke H1696 with H854 them, saying, H559
16 Thus H3541 saith H559 the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the LORD, H3068 What H4100 trespass H4604 is this H2088 that H834 ye have committed H4603 against the God H430 of Israel, H3478 to turn away H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD, H3068 in that ye have built H1129 you an altar, H4196 that ye might rebel H4775 this day H3117 against the LORD H3068 ?
17 Is H853 the iniquity H5771 of Peor H6465 too little H4592 for us, from H4480 which H834 we are not H3808 cleansed H2891 until H5704 this H2088 day, H3117 although there was H1961 a plague H5063 in the congregation H5712 of the LORD, H3068
18 But that ye H859 must turn away H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 ? and it will be, H1961 seeing ye H859 rebel H4775 today H3117 against the LORD, H3068 that tomorrow H4279 he will be wroth H7107 with H413 the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of Israel. H3478
19 Notwithstanding H389 , if H518 the land H776 of your possession H272 be unclean, H2931 then pass ye over H5674 unto H413 the land H776 of the possession H272 of the LORD, H3068 wherein H834 the LORD's H3068 tabernacle H4908 dwelleth H7931 H8033 , and take possession H270 among H8432 us : but rebel H4775 not H408 against the LORD, H3068 nor H408 rebel H4775 against us , in building H1129 you an altar H4196 beside H4480 H1107 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God. H430
20 Did not H3808 Achan H5912 the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 commit H4603 a trespass H4604 in the accursed thing, H2764 and wrath H7110 fell H1961 on H5921 all H3605 the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 ? and that H1931 man H376 perished H1478 not H3808 alone H259 in his iniquity. H5771
21 Then the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 answered, H6030 and said H1696 unto H853 the heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel, H3478
22 The LORD H3068 God H410 of gods, H430 the LORD H3068 God H410 of gods, H430 he H1931 knoweth, H3045 and Israel H3478 he H1931 shall know; H3045 if H518 it be in rebellion, H4777 or if H518 in transgression H4604 against the LORD, H3068 ( save H3467 us not H408 this H2088 day, H3117 )
23 That we have built H1129 us an altar H4196 to turn H7725 from following H4480 H310 the LORD, H3068 or if H518 to offer H5927 thereon H5921 burnt offering H5930 or meat offering, H4503 or if H518 to offer H6213 peace H8002 offerings H2077 thereon, H5921 let the LORD H3068 himself H1931 require H1245 it ;
24 And if H518 we have not H3808 rather done H6213 H853 it H2063 for fear H4480 H1674 of this thing H4480 H1697 , saying, H559 In time to come H4279 your children H1121 might speak H559 unto our children, H1121 saying, H559 What H4100 have ye to do with the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 ?
25 For the LORD H3068 hath made H5414 H853 Jordan H3383 a border H1366 between H996 us and you , ye children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and children H1121 of Gad; H1410 ye have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD: H3068 so shall your children H1121 make H853 our children H1121 cease H7673 from fearing H3372 H853 the LORD. H3068
26 Therefore we said, H559 Let us now H4994 prepare H6213 to build H1129 us H853 an altar, H4196 not H3808 for burnt H5930 offering, nor H3808 for sacrifice: H2077
27 But H3588 that it H1931 may be a witness H5707 between H996 us , and you , and our generations H1755 after H310 us , that we might do H5647 H853 the service H5656 of the LORD H3068 before H6440 him with our burnt offerings, H5930 and with our sacrifices, H2077 and with our peace offerings; H8002 that your children H1121 may not H3808 say H559 to our children H1121 in time to come, H4279 Ye have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD. H3068
28 Therefore said H559 we , that it shall be, H1961 when H3588 they should so say H559 to H413 us or to H413 our generations H1755 in time to come, H4279 that we may say H559 again , Behold H7200 H853 the pattern H8403 of the altar H4196 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 our fathers H1 made, H6213 not H3808 for burnt offerings, H5930 nor H3808 for sacrifices; H2077 but H3588 it H1931 is a witness H5707 between H996 us and you.
29 God forbid H2486 that we H4480 should rebel H4775 against the LORD, H3068 and turn H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD, H3068 to build H1129 an altar H4196 for burnt offerings, H5930 for meat offerings, H4503 or for sacrifices, H2077 beside H4480 H905 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 that H834 is before H6440 his tabernacle. H4908
30 And when Phinehas H6372 the priest, H3548 and the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 and heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel H3478 which H834 were with H854 him, heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 that H834 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 spoke, H1696 it pleased H3190 H5869 them.
31 And Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 said H559 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 and to H413 the children H1121 of Manasseh, H4519 This day H3117 we perceive H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 is among H8432 us, because H834 ye have not H3808 committed H4603 this H2088 trespass H4604 against the LORD: H3068 now H227 ye have delivered H5337 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the LORD. H3068
32 And Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest, H3548 and the princes, H5387 returned H7725 from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 out of the land H4480 H776 of Gilead, H1568 unto H413 the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 to H413 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and brought them word again H7725 H853 H1697 .
33 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the children H1121 of Israel; H3478 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 blessed H1288 God, H430 and did not H3808 intend H559 to go up H5927 against H5921 them in battle, H6635 to destroy H7843 H853 the land H776 wherein H834 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and Gad H1410 dwelt. H3427
34 And the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 called H7121 the altar H4196 Ed : for H3588 it H1931 shall be a witness H5707 between H996 us that H3588 the LORD H3068 is God. H430
