Joshua 22:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ But in truth, we did this because we were concerned that in the future your children would say to our children, “What connection do you have to the Lord, the God of Israel? ²⁵ The Lord placed a border between us and you people of Reuben and Gad, namely, the Jordan. You have no portion in the Lord.” Then your children would stop our children from fearing the Lord.

²⁶ So we said, “Come on now, let us build an altar—but not for burnt offerings and not for sacrifice.”
