Joshua 22:29-31
Lexham English Bible
29 Far be it from us to rebel against Yahweh, to turn today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offerings,[a] grain offerings,[b] or sacrifices,[c] 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[d] of Israel who were with him heard the words that the descendants[e] of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh spoke, and they were satisfied.[f] 31 Phinehas the priest, son of Eleazar, said to the descendants[g] of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against Yahweh. Therefore you have rescued the Israelites[h] from the hand of Yahweh.”
