Joshua 22:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Remember what happened at Peor? We still suffer today because of that sin. Because of it, God caused many of the Israelites to become very sick. ¹⁸ And now are you doing the same thing? Are you turning against the Lord? Will you refuse to follow the Lord?

“‘If you don’t stop what you’re doing, the Lord will be angry with everyone in Israel. ¹⁹ Your land may not be a good enough place to worship. If not, come over into our land. The Lord’s Tent is in our land. You may have some of our land and live there. But don’t turn against the Lord by building another altar. We already have the altar of the Lord our God.
