11And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 it 1saidH559, “BeholdH2009, the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519 have 2builtH1129 an altarH4196 at the 3frontierH4136 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the regionH1552 of the JordanH3383, on the sideH5676 belonging to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.” 12When the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 gatheredH6950 themselves at 4ShilohH7887 to goH5927 up againstH5921 them in warH6635.

13Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 and to the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, 5PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, 14and with him tenH6235 chiefsH5387, oneH259 chiefH5387 for each father’sH1 householdH1004 from eachH3605 of the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and 6eachH376 oneH376 of them was the headH7218 of his father’sH1 householdH1004 among the 7thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. 15They cameH935 to the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 and to the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, to the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spokeH1696 with them sayingH559, 16“ThusH3541 saysH559 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the LordH3068, ‘WhatH4100 is thisH2088 unfaithfulH4604 actH4604 whichH834 you have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, turningH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 the LordH3068 this dayH3117, by 8buildingH1129 yourselves an altarH4196, to rebelH4775 against the LordH3068 this dayH3117? 17Is not 9the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 10enoughH4592 for us, from whichH834 we have not cleansedH2891 ourselves to thisH2088 dayH3117, although a plagueH5063 cameH1961 on the congregationH5712 of the LordH3068, 18that you must turnH7725 awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LordH3068? If you rebelH4775 against the LordH3068 todayH3117, 11He will be angryH7107 with the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 tomorrowH4279. 19IfH518, howeverH389, the landH776 of your possessionH272 is uncleanH2931, then 12crossH5674 into the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LordH3068, whereH834H8033 the Lord’sH3068 tabernacleH4908 13standsH7931, and takeH270 possessionH270 amongH8432 us. Only do not rebelH4775 against the LordH3068, or rebelH4775 againstH854 us by 14buildingH1129 an altarH4196 for yourselves, besidesH4480H1107 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 our GodH430. 20Did not 15AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 actH4603 unfaithfullyH4604 in the thingsH2764 underH2764 the banH2764, and wrathH7110 fallH1961 on allH3605 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? And that manH376 did not perishH1478 aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.’”
