  1 H3091 Then Joshua H7121 called H7206 the Reubenites, H1425 the Gadites, H2677 and the H4294 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh,
  2 H559 and said H8104 to them, "You have kept H4872 all that Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of Yahweh H6680 commanded H8085 you, and have listened H6963 to my voice H6680 in all that I commanded you.
  3 H5800 You have not left H251 your brothers H7227 these many H3117 days H3117 to this day, H4931 but have performed H4931 the duty H4687 of the commandment H3068 of Yahweh H430 your God.
  4 H3068 Now Yahweh H430 your God H5117 has given rest H251 to your brothers, H1696 as he spoke H6437 to them. Therefore now return H3212 and go H168 to your tents, H776 to the land H272 of your possession, H4872 which Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of Yahweh H5414 gave H5676 you beyond H3383 the Jordan.
  5 H3966 Only take diligent H8104 heed H6213 to do H4687 the commandment H8451 and the law H4872 which Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of Yahweh H6680 commanded H157 you, to love H3068 Yahweh H430 your God, H3212 to walk H1870 in all his ways, H8104 to keep H4687 his commandments, H1692 to hold fast H5647 to him, and to serve H3824 him with all your heart H5315 and with all your soul."
  6 H3091 So Joshua H1288 blessed H7971 them, and sent them away; H3212 and they went H168 to their tents.
  7 H2677 Now to the one H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh H4872 Moses H5414 had given H1316 inheritance in Bashan; H2677 but to the other half H5414 gave H3091 Joshua H5973 among H251 their brothers H5676 beyond H3383 the Jordan H3220 westward. H3091 Moreover when Joshua H7971 sent them away H168 to their tents, H1288 he blessed them,
  8 H559 and spoke H559 to them, saying, H7725 "Return H7227 with much H5233 wealth H168 to your tents, H3966 with very H7227 much H4735 livestock, H3701 with silver, H2091 with gold, H5178 with brass, H1270 with iron, H3966 and with very H7235 much H8008 clothing. H2505 Divide H7998 the spoil H341 of your enemies H251 with your brothers."
  9 H1121 The children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh H7725 returned, H3212 and departed H1121 from the children H3478 of Israel H7887 out of Shiloh, H776 which is in the land H3667 of Canaan, H3212 to go H776 to the land H1568 of Gilead, H776 to the land H272 of their possession, H270 which they owned, H6310 according to the commandment H3068 of Yahweh H3027 by H4872 Moses.
  10 H935 When they came H3383 to the region about the Jordan, H776 that is in the land H3667 of Canaan, H1121 the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh H1129 built H4196 there an altar H3383 by the Jordan, H1419 a great H4196 altar H4758 to H4758 look at.
  11 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H8085 heard H559 this, "Behold, H1121 the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh H1129 have built H4196 an altar H4136 in the forefront H776 of the land H3667 of Canaan, H1552 in the region H3383 about the Jordan, H5676 on the side that pertains H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel."
  12 H1121 When the children H3478 of Israel H8085 heard H5712 of it, the whole congregation H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H6950 gathered themselves together H7887 at Shiloh, H5927 to go up H6635 against them to war.
  13 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H7971 sent H1121 to the children H7205 of Reuben, H1121 and to the children H1410 of Gad, H2677 and to the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh, H776 into the land H1568 of Gilead, H6372 Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest,
  14 H6235 and with him ten H5387 princes, H5387 one prince H1 of a fathers' H1004 house H259 for each H4294 of the tribes H3478 of Israel; H376 and they were everyone H7218 of them head H1 of their fathers' H1004 houses H505 among the thousands H3478 of Israel.
  15 H935 They came H1121 to the children H7205 of Reuben, H1121 and to the children H1410 of Gad, H2677 and to the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh, H776 to the land H1568 of Gilead, H1696 and they spoke H559 with them, saying,
  16 H559 "Thus says H5712 the whole congregation H3068 of Yahweh, H4604 ‘What trespass H4603 is this that you have committed H430 against the God H3478 of Israel, H7725 to turn away H3117 this day H310 from following H3068 Yahweh, H1129 in that you have built H4196 yourselves an altar, H4775 to rebel H3117 this day H3068 against Yahweh?
  17 H5771 Is the iniquity H6465 of Peor H4592 too little H2891 for us, from which we have not cleansed H3117 ourselves to this day, H5063 although there came a plague H5712 on the congregation H3068 of Yahweh,
  18 H7725 that you must turn away H3117 this day H310 from following H3068 Yahweh? H4775 It will be, since you rebel H3117 today H3068 against Yahweh, H4279 that tomorrow H7107 he will be angry H5712 with the whole congregation H3478 of Israel.
  19 H389 However, H776 if the land H272 of your possession H2931 is unclean, H5674 then pass over H776 to the land H272 of the possession H3068 of Yahweh, H3068 in which Yahweh's H4908 tabernacle H7931 dwells, H270 and take possession H8432 among H4775 us; but don't rebel H3068 against Yahweh, H408 nor H4775 rebel H1129 against us, in building H4196 an altar H1107 other H4196 than the altar H3068 of Yahweh H430 our God.
  20 H5912 Didn't Achan H1121 the son H2226 of Zerah H4603 commit H4604 a trespass H2764 in the devoted thing, H7110 and wrath H1961 fell H5712 on all the congregation H3478 of Israel? H376 That man H1478 didn't perish H259 alone H5771 in his iniquity.'"
  21 H1121 Then the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the H7626 half-tribe H4519 of Manasseh H6030 answered, H1696 and spoke H7218 to the heads H505 of the thousands H3478 of Israel,
  22 H410 "The Mighty One, God, H3068 Yahweh, H430   H410 the Mighty One, God, H3068 Yahweh, H430   H3045 he knows; H3478 and Israel H3045 shall know: H4777 if it was in rebellion, H4604 or if in trespass H3068 against Yahweh H3467 (don't save H3117 us this day),
  23 H1129 that we have built H4196 us an altar H7725 to turn H310 away from following H3068 Yahweh; H5927 or if to offer H5930 burnt offering H5930 or meal offering, H6213 or if to offer H8002 sacrifices of peace H2077 offerings, H3068 let Yahweh H1245 himself require it.
  24 H1674 "If we have not out of concern H6213 done H1697 this, H559 and for a reason, saying, H4279 ‘In time to come H1121 your children H559 might speak H1121 to our children, H559 saying, H3068 "What have you to do with Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel?
  25 H3068 For Yahweh H5414 has made H3383 the Jordan H1366 a border H1121 between us and you, you children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and children H1410 of Gad. H2506 You have no portion H3068 in Yahweh."' H1121 So your children H7673 might make H1121 our children H7673 cease H1115 from H3372 fearing H3068 Yahweh.
  26 H559 "Therefore we said, H6213 ‘Let's now prepare H1129 to build H4196 ourselves an altar, H5930 not for burnt offering, H2077 nor for sacrifice;
  27 H5707 but it will be a witness H1755 between us and you, and between our generations H310 after H5647 us, that we may perform H5656 the service H3068 of Yahweh H6440 before H5930 him with our burnt offerings, H2077 with our sacrifices, H8002 and with our peace offerings;' H1121 that your children H559 may not tell H1121 our children H4279 in time to come, H2506 ‘You have no portion H3068 in Yahweh.'
  28 H559 "Therefore we said, H559 ‘It shall be, when they tell H1755 us or our generations H4279 this in time to come, H559 that we shall say, H7200 "Behold H8403 the pattern H4196 of the altar H3068 of Yahweh, H1 which our fathers H6213 made, H5930 not for burnt offering, H2077 nor for sacrifice; H5707 but it is a witness between us and you."'
  29 H2486 "Far be H4775 it from us that we should rebel H3068 against Yahweh, H7725 and turn H3117 away this day H310 from following H3068 Yahweh, H1129 to build H4196 an altar H5930 for burnt offering, H4503 for meal offering, H2077 or for sacrifice, H4196 besides the altar H3068 of Yahweh H430 our God H6440 that is before H4908 his tabernacle!"
  30 H6372 When Phinehas H3548 the priest, H5387 and the princes H5712 of the congregation, H7218 even the heads H505 of the thousands H3478 of Israel H8085 that were with him, heard H1697 the words H1121 that the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H1121 and the children H4519 of Manasseh H1696 spoke, H3190 it pleased them well.
  31 H6372 Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest H559 said H1121 to the children H7205 of Reuben, H1121 to the children H1410 of Gad, H1121 and to the children H4519 of Manasseh, H3117 "Today H3045 we know H3068 that Yahweh H8432 is in the midst H4603 of us, because you have not committed H4604 this trespass H3068 against Yahweh. H227 Now H5337 you have delivered H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H3027 out of the hand H3068 of Yahweh."
  32 H6372 Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest, H5387 and the princes, H7725 returned H1121 from the children H7205 of Reuben, H1121 and from the children H1410 of Gad, H776 out of the land H1568 of Gilead, H776 to the land H3667 of Canaan, H1121 to the children H3478 of Israel, H7725 and brought H1697 them word H7725 again.
  33 H1697 The thing H3190 pleased H1121 the children H3478 of Israel; H1121 and the children H3478 of Israel H1288 blessed H430 God, H559 and spoke no more H5927 of going up H6635 against them to war, H7843 to destroy H776 the land H1121 in which the children H7205 of Reuben H1410 and the children of Gad H3427 lived.
  34 H1121 The children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H7121 named H4196 the altar H5707 "A Witness H3068 Between Us that Yahweh H430 is God."
