Joshua 22:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ May we never rebel against the Lord today by building an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifice to replace^[a] the altar of the Lord our God which stands before his Tent.”’”

³⁰ When Phinehas the priest, the leaders of the community, and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him heard what the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the descendants of Manasseh said, they were pleased. ³¹ So Eleazar’s son Phinehas the priest replied to the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the descendants of Manasseh, “Today we’ve demonstrated^[b] that the Lord is among us, because you have not acted treacherously against the Lord. Now you have delivered the Israelis from the anger^[c] of the Lord.”
