Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}

For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.

And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 into the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and take ye upH7311 everyH259 manH376 of you a stoneH68 upon his shoulderH7926, according unto the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
That this may be a signH226 amongH7130 you, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592 their fathers in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean ye by these stonesH68? {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
Then ye shall answerH559 them, That the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; when it passed overH5674 JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and took upH5375 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and carried them overH5674 with them unto the place where they lodgedH4411, and laid them downH3240 there.
And JoshuaH3091 set upH6965 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, in the place where the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH4673: and they are there unto this dayH3117.
And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 these wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430, and tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and set it upH6965 there under an oakH427, that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Behold, this stoneH68 shall be a witnessH5713 unto us; for it hath heardH8085 all the wordsH561 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696 unto us: it shall be therefore a witnessH5713 unto you, lest ye denyH3584 your GodH430.
And JacobH3290 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 for his pillowsH4763, and set it upH7760 for a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 upon the top of itH7218.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, GatherH3950 stonesH68; and they tookH3947 stonesH68, and madeH6213 an heapH1530: and they did eatH398 there upon the heapH1530.
And LabanH3837 calledH7121 it JegarsahaduthaH3026: but JacobH3290 calledH7121 it GaleedH1567. {Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}
And LabanH3837 saidH559, This heapH1530 is a witnessH5707 between me and thee this dayH3117. Therefore was the nameH8034 of it calledH7121 GaleedH1567;
And MizpahH4709; forH834 he saidH559, The LORDH3068 watchH6822 between me and thee, when we are absentH5641 oneH376 from anotherH7453. {Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}
If thou shalt afflictH6031 my daughtersH1323, or if thou shalt takeH3947 other wivesH802 besideH5921 my daughtersH1323, no manH376 is with us; seeH7200, GodH430 is witnessH5707 betwixt me and thee.
And LabanH3837 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Behold this heapH1530, and behold this pillarH4676, which I have castH3384 betwixt me and thee;
This heapH1530 be witnessH5707, and this pillarH4676 be witnessH5713, that I will not pass overH5674 this heapH1530 to thee, and that thou shalt not pass overH5674 this heapH1530 and this pillarH4676 unto me, for harmH7451.
