Joshua 22:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ If your land here in Gilead is unclean, come back across the river to the Lord's own land. You can come and live among us, in the land where the Lord's tabernacle is. But do not turn against the Lord or against us. Do not build an altar for yourselves. The Lord our God already has his altar here. ²⁰ Remember the time when Achan, son of Zerah, took things that belonged to God for himself. He refused to obey God's command about Jericho's valuable things. Then God became angry with all the people of Israel. Achan died because of his sin, but he was not the only one.’^[a]

²¹ Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders.
