Joshua 22:18-20
New King James Version
18 but that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the Lord, that tomorrow (A)He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 [a]Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, (B)where the Lord’s tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the Lord our God. 20 (C)Did not Achan the son of Zerah [b]commit a trespass in the [c]accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.’ ”

Joshua 22:18-20
New International Version
18 And are you now turning away from the Lord?
“‘If you rebel against the Lord today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community(A) of Israel. 19 If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord’s land, where the Lord’s tabernacle(B) stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar(C) for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our God. 20 When Achan son of Zerah was unfaithful in regard to the devoted things,[a](D) did not wrath(E) come on the whole community(F) of Israel? He was not the only one who died for his sin.’”(G)
