Joshua 22:28-30
Lexham English Bible
28 And we thought, if they say to us and to our children in the future, we can say, ‘Look at this replica of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors[a] made, not for burnt offerings[b] or sacrifices;[c] rather, it is a witness between us and you.’ 29 Far be it from us to rebel against Yahweh, to turn today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offerings,[d] grain offerings,[e] or sacrifices,[f] instead of the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.”
30 Phinehas the priest, the leaders of the congregation, and the heads of the clans[g] of Israel who were with him heard the words that the descendants[h] of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh spoke, and they were satisfied.[i]
