Joshua 22:10-14

10When they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, 1a large altar in appearance. 11But the sons of Israel 2heard a report: “Behold, the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have 3built an altar at the 4frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan, on the side belonging to the sons of Israel.” 12And when the sons of Israel heard about it, the entire congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at 5Shiloh to go up against them in battle.

13Then the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben, to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, 6Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 14and with him ten leaders, one leader for each father’s household from each of the tribes of Israel; and 7each one of them was the head of his father’s household among the 8thousands of Israel.
