Joshua 22:31-33

International Standard Version

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^[a] that the Lord is among us, because you have not acted treacherously against the Lord. Now you have delivered the Israelis from the anger^[b] of the Lord.”

³² So Eleazar’s son Phinehas the priest and the leaders returned from the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan and to the people of Israel, bringing back word to them. ³³ What they said pleased the people of Israel, so they^[c] blessed God and said no more about going up to attack them in war and to destroy the land where the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad were living.
