Joshua 22:15-20

15They came to the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying, 16“This is what the whole congregation of the Lord says: ‘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 2the wrongdoing of Peor 3not enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although 4a 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, 5He will be angry with the entire congregation of Israel tomorrow. 19If, however, the land of your possession is unclean, then 6cross into the land of the possession of the Lord, where the Lord’s 7tabernacle 8stands, and settle among us. Only do not rebel against the Lord, or rebel against us, by 9building an altar for yourselves besides the altar of the Lord our God. 20Did 10Achan the son of Zerah not act unfaithfully in the things designated for destruction, and wrath fall on the entire congregation of Israel? So that man did not perish alone in his guilt.’”
