22:23 If we have built an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering tokens of peace on it, the Lord himself will punish us.

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Jos 22:23

¹ tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness…by building.”

² tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

³ tn Heb “or if to make.”

⁴ tn Or “peace offerings.”

⁵ tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
