30When PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548 and the chiefsH5387 of the congregationH5712—the headsH7218 of Israel’sH3478 clansH505 whoH834 were with himH854—heardH8085 whatH834 the descendantsH1121 of ReubenH7205H1121, GadH1410H1121, and ManassehH4519 had to sayH1696, they were satisfiedH3190H5869. 31PhinehasH6372 sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 toH413 the descendantsH1121 of ReubenH7205H413, GadH1121H1410H413, and ManassehH1121H4519, “TodayH3117 we knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 is among usH8432, becauseH834 you have notH3808 committedH4603 thisH2088 breach of faithH4604 against HimH3068. ConsequentlyH227, you have deliveredH5337 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 from the handH3027 of the LORDH3068.”
32Then PhinehasH6372 sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, together with the other leadersH5387H854, returnedH7725 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 inH413 the landH776 of CanaanH3667 and brought backH7725 a report regardingH1697 the ReubenitesH1121H7205H854 and GaditesH1121H1410 in the landH776 of GileadH1568. 33The IsraelitesH1121H3478 were satisfiedH3190H5869 with the reportH1697, andH1121H3478 they blessedH1288 GodH430 and spokeH559 noH3808 more about goingH5927 to warH6635 against themH5921 to destroyH7843 the landH776 whereH834 the ReubenitesH1121H7205 and GaditesH1121H1410 livedH3427. 34So the ReubenitesH1121H7205 and GaditesH1121H1410 namedH7121 the altarH4196 Witness, forH3588 they said,1 “ItH1931 is a witnessH5707 between usH996 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 is GodH430.”
