Yosua 22:24-29
22:24 We swear we have done this because we were worried that
1 in the future your descendants would say to our descendants, ‘What relationship do you have with the
Lord God of Israel?
2
22:25 The
Lord made the Jordan a boundary between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no right to worship the
Lord.’
3 In this way your descendants might cause our descendants to stop obeying
4 the
Lord.
22:26 So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,
22:27 but as a reminder to us and you,
5 and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the
Lord in his very presence
6 with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace.
7 Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, ‘You have no right to worship the
Lord.’
8
22:28 We said, ‘If in the future they say such a thing
9 to us or to our descendants, we will reply, “See the model of the
Lord’s altar that our ancestors
10 made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a reminder to us and you.”’
11
22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against the
Lord by turning back today from following after the
Lord by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace
12 aside from the altar of the
Lord our God located in front of his dwelling place!”
