Joshua 22:19-20

19IfH518 indeedH389 the landH776 of your inheritanceH272 is uncleanH2931, then cross overH5674 toH413 the landH776 of the LORD’sH3068 possessionH272, whereH834 the LORD’sH3068 tabernacleH4908 standsH7931H8033, and take possessionH270 of it among usH8432. But do notH408 rebelH4775H854H413 against the LORDH3068 or against us by buildingH1129 for yourselves an altarH4196 other thanH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.

20Was notH3808 AchanH59121 sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 unfaithfulH4603 regardingH4604 what was set apart for destructionH2764,2 bringing wrathH7110 uponH5921 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478H1961? Yet it was notH3808 onlyH259 Achan who perishedH1478 because of his sinH5771!’”
