Joshua 22:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Have we too little for the wickedness (A)of Peor, whereof we are not [a]cleansed unto this day, though a plague came upon the Congregation of the Lord?
18 Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebel today against the Lord, even tomorrow he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be [b]unclean, come ye over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord’s Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but [c]rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel not against us in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.
