Joshua 22:19-20

19If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

20Was not Achan1 son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction,2 bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’”
