Joshua 22:15-20
15They came to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them saying, 16“Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord, ‘What is this unfaithful act which you have committed against the God of Israel, turning away from following the Lord this day, by 1building yourselves an altar, to rebel against the Lord this day? 17Is not 2the iniquity of Peor 3enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although a plague came on the congregation of the Lord, 18that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? If you rebel against the Lord today, 4He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow. 19If, however, the land of your possession is unclean, then 5cross into the land of the possession of the Lord, where the Lord’s tabernacle 6stands, and take possession among us. Only do not rebel against the Lord, or rebel against us by 7building an altar for yourselves, besides the altar of the Lord our God. 20Did not 8Achan the son of Zerah act unfaithfully in the things under the ban, and wrath fall on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.’”
