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}

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.
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.
And thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Whatsoever manH376 there be of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 which sojournH1481 amongH8432 you, that offerethH5927 a burnt offeringH5930 or sacrificeH2077,
AndG1161 ifG1437 he shall neglect to hearG3878 themG846, tellG2036 it unto the churchG1577: butG1161+G2532 ifG1437 he neglect to hearG3878 the churchG1577, let him beG2077 unto theeG4671 asG5618 an heathen manG1482 andG2532 a publicanG5057.
If they shall confessH3034 their iniquityH5771, and the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1, with their trespassH4604 which they trespassedH4603 against me, and that also they have walkedH1980 contraryH7147 unto me;
They have turnedH5493 aside quicklyH4118 out of the wayH1870 which I commandedH6680 them: they have madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and have worshippedH7812 it, and have sacrificedH2076 thereunto, and saidH559, These be thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which have brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And bringethH935 it not unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, to offerH6213 it unto the LORDH3068; even that manH376 shall be cut offH3772 from among his peopleH5971.
NowG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG1223 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 yeG3004 allG3956 speakG3004 the same thingG846, andG2532 that there beG5600 noG3361 divisionsG4978 amongG1722 youG5213; butG1161 that ye beG5600 perfectly joined togetherG2675 inG1722 the sameG846 mindG3563 andG2532 inG1722 the sameG846 judgmentG1106. {divisions: Gr. schisms}
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, When a manH376 or womanH802 shall commitH6213 any sinH2403 that menH120 commitH4603, to do a trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068, and that personH5315 be guiltyH816;
For the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 are there beforeH6440 you, and ye shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: because ye are turnedH7725 awayH310 from the LORDH3068, therefore the LORDH3068 will not be with you.
Ye shall not do soH6213 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But unto the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall chooseH977 out of all your tribesH7626 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there, even unto his habitationH7933 shall ye seekH1875, and thither thou shalt comeH935:
And thither ye shall bringH935 your burnt offeringsH5930, and your sacrificesH2077, and your tithesH4643, and heave offeringsH8641 of your handH3027, and your vowsH5088, and your freewill offeringsH5071, and the firstlingsH1062 of your herdsH1241 and of your flocksH6629:
InG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, when yeG5216 are gathered togetherG4863, andG2532 myG1699 spiritG4151, withG4862 the powerG1411 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
And JoabH3097 answeredH559, The LORDH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord'sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478?
For if ye turn awayH7725 from afterH310 him, he will yet againH3254 leaveH3240 them in the wildernessH4057; and ye shall destroyH7843 all this peopleH5971.
Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt offeringsH5930 in every placeH4725 that thou seestH7200:
PaulG3972, an apostleG652, (notG3756 ofG575 menG444, neitherG3761 byG1223 manG444, butG235 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 GodG2316 the FatherG3962, whoG3588 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498;)
And they withstoodH5975 UzziahH5818 the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, UzziahH5818, to burn incenseH6999 unto the LORDH3068, but to the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, that are consecratedH6942 to burn incenseH6999: go outH3318 of the sanctuaryH4720; for thou hast trespassedH4603; neither shall it be for thine honourH3519 from the LORDH3068 GodH430.
For they will turn awayH5493 thy sonH1121 from followingH310 me, that they may serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430: so will the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and destroyH8045 thee suddenlyH4118.
But in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt offeringsH5930, and there thou shalt doH6213 all that I commandH6680 thee.
AndG2532 allG3956 the brethrenG80 which are withG4862 meG1698, unto the churchesG1577 of GalatiaG1053:
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
But if thine heartH3824 turn awayH6437, so that thou wilt not hearH8085, but shalt be drawn awayH5080, and worshipH7812 otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them;
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
For they have takenH5375 of their daughtersH1323 for themselves, and for their sonsH1121: so that the holyH6944 seedH2233 have mingledH6148 themselves with the peopleH5971 of those landsH776: yea, the handH3027 of the princesH8269 and rulersH5461 hath been chiefH7223 in this trespassH4604.
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, thou art righteousH6662: for we remainH7604 yet escapedH6413, as it is this dayH3117: behold, we are beforeH6440 thee in our trespassesH819: for we cannot standH5975 beforeH6440 thee because of this.
Now after the timeH6256 that AmaziahH558 did turn awayH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068 they madeH7194 a conspiracyH7195 against him in JerusalemH3389; and he fledH5127 to LachishH3923: but they sentH7971 to LachishH3923 afterH310 him, and slewH4191 him there. {from…: Heb. from after} {made…: Heb. conspired a conspiracy}
But they rebelledH4784, and vexedH6087 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307: therefore he was turnedH2015 to be their enemyH341, and he foughtH3898 against them.
ForG1063 ifG1437 ye forgiveG863 menG444 theirG846 trespassesG3900, yourG5216 heavenlyG3770 FatherG3962 will alsoG2532 forgiveG863 youG5213:
