Joshua 22:33-34
International Standard Version
33 What they said pleased the people of Israel, so they[a] 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. 34 The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad named the altar “Witness,” because they claimed,[b] “It stands as a witness between us that the Lord is God.”
