Joshua 22:11-20

11And the children of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the children of ReubenH7205 and the children of GadH1410 and the half-tribe of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the forefront of the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the region about the JordanH3383, on the sideH5676 that pertaineth to the children of IsraelH3478. 12And when the children of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the children of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves together at ShilohH7887, to goH5927 up against them to warH6635.

13And the children of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the children of ReubenH7205, and to the children of GadH1410, and to the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, 14and with him tenH6235 princesH5387, oneH259 princeH5387 of a fathers’H1 houseH1004 for each of the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and they were every oneH259 of them headH7218 of their fathers’H1 housesH1004 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. 15And they cameH935 unto the children of ReubenH7205, and to the children of GadH1410, and to the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spake with them, sayingH559, 16ThusH3541 saith the whole congregationH5712 of Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turnH7725 awayH7725 this dayH3117 from following Jehovah, in that ye have builded you an altarH4196, to rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against Jehovah? 17Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we have not cleansedH2891 ourselves unto this dayH3117, although there came a plagueH5063 upon the congregationH5712 of Jehovah, 18that ye must turnH7725 awayH7725 this dayH3117 from following Jehovah? and it will beH1961, seeing ye rebelH4775 to-day against Jehovah, that to-morrow he will beH1961 wroth with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478. 19Howbeit, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then passH5674 ye over unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of Jehovah, wherein Jehovah’s tabernacleH4908 dwelleth, and takeH270 possessionH272 among us: but rebelH4775 not against Jehovah, nor rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besides the altarH4196 of Jehovah our GodH430. 20Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrathH7110 fell upon all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perished not alone in his iniquityH5771.
