10When they cameH935 to the regionH1552 of the JordanH3383 whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033 by the JordanH3383, 1a largeH1419 altarH4196 in appearanceH4758. 11But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 2heardH8085 a reportH559: “BeholdH2009, the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519 have 3builtH1129 an altarH4196 at the 4frontierH4136 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the regionH1552 of the JordanH3383, on the sideH5676 belonging to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.” 12And when the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 about it, the entireH3605 congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 at 5ShilohH7887 to goH5927 upH5927 againstH5921 them in battleH6635.

13Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 to the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, to the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, and to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, in the landH776 of GileadH1568, 6PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, 14and with him tenH6235 leadersH5387, oneH259 leaderH5387 for each father’sH1 householdH1004 from eachH3605 of the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and 7eachH376 oneH376 of them was the headH7218 of his father’sH1 householdH1004 among the 8thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. 15They cameH935 to the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, and to the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519, in the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spokeH1696 with them, sayingH559, 16“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘WhatH4100 is thisH2088 unfaithfulH4603H4604 actH4604 whichH834 you have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, turningH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 the LordH3068 this dayH3117, by 9buildingH1129 yourselves an altarH4196, to rebelH4775 against the LordH3068 this dayH3117? 17Is 10the wrongdoingH5771 of PeorH6465 11not enoughH4592 for us, from whichH834 we have not cleansedH2891 ourselves to thisH2088 dayH3117, although 12a 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, 13He will beH7107 angryH7107 with the entireH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 tomorrowH4279. 19IfH518, howeverH389, the landH776 of your possessionH272 is uncleanH2931, then 14crossH5674 into the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LordH3068, whereH834H8033 the Lord’sH3068 15tabernacleH4908 16standsH7931, and settleH270 amongH8432 us. Only do not rebelH4775 against the LordH3068, or rebelH4775 againstH854 us, by 17buildingH1129 an altarH4196 for yourselves besidesH4480H1107 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 our GodH430.
