Joshua 22:21-29

21Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 to the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478, 22The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it is in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,) 23That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 on it burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 on it, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it ; 24And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 may speakH559 to our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478?1 25For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068. 26Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077: 27But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we may doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068. 28Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they shall so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you. 29Far be it from usH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, besides the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
