Joshua 22:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ “That’s why we said, ‘Let’s build an altar for ourselves, not for burnt offerings or sacrifice, ²⁷ but instead it will serve as a reminder^[a] between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to serve the Lord with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings. That way your descendants will not say to our descendants in the future, “You have no allotment from the Lord.”’

²⁸ “That’s also why we said, ‘It may be if they say these things^[b] to us and to our descendants in the future, so we will respond, “Look at this replica of the altar of the Lord that our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifice, but rather as a reminder^[c] between us and you.
