Joshua 22:1-32

22:1

Then Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

the Reubenites
<07206>_,

and the Gadites
<01425>_,

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<04294>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

22:2

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye have kept
<08104> (8804)

all that Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

you, and have obeyed
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>

in all that I commanded
<06680> (8765)

you:

22:3

Ye have not left
<05800> (8804)

your brethren
<0251>

these many
<07227>

days
<03117>

unto this day
<03117>_,

but have kept
<08104> (8804)

the charge
<04931>

of the commandment
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

22:4

And now the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given rest
<05117> (8689)

unto your brethren
<0251>_,

as he promised
<01696> (8765)

them: therefore now return
<06437> (8798)

ye, and get
<03212> (8798)

you unto your tents
<0168>_,

[and] unto the land
<0776>

of your possession
<0272>_,

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)

you on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_.

22:5

But take diligent
<03966>

heed
<08104> (8798)

to do
<06213> (8800)

the commandment
<04687>

and the law
<08451>_,

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

charged
<06680> (8765)

you, to love
<0157> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and to walk
<03212> (8800)

in all his ways
<01870>_,

and to keep
<08104> (8800)

his commandments
<04687>_,

and to cleave
<01692> (8800)

unto him, and to serve
<05647> (8800)

him with all your heart
<03824>

and with all your soul
<05315>_.

22:6

So Joshua
<03091>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

them, and sent them away
<07971> (8762)_:

and they went
<03212> (8799)

unto their tents
<0168>_.

22:7

Now to the [one] half
<02677>

of the tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

Moses
<04872>

had given
<05414> (8804)

[possession] in Bashan
<01316>_:

but unto the [other] half
<02677>

thereof gave
<05414> (8804)

Joshua
<03091>

among
<05973>

their brethren
<0251>

on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>

westward
<03220>_.

And when Joshua
<03091>

sent them away
<07971> (8765)

also unto their tents
<0168>_,

then he blessed
<01288> (8762)

them,

22:8

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

with much
<07227>

riches
<05233>

unto your tents
<0168>_,

and with very
<03966>

much
<07227>

cattle
<04735>_,

with silver
<03701>_,

and with gold
<02091>_,

and with brass
<05178>_,

and with iron
<01270>_,

and with very
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

raiment
<08008>_:

divide
<02505> (8798)

the spoil
<07998>

of your enemies
<0341> (8802)

with your brethren
<0251>_.

22:9

And the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)

from the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of Shiloh
<07887>_,

which [is] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto the country
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

to the land
<0776>

of their possession
<0272>_,

whereof they were possessed
<0270> (8738)_,

according to the word
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

22:10

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

unto the borders
<01552>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

that [are] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>

by Jordan
<03383>_,

a great
<01419>

altar
<04196>

to see to
<04758>_.

22:11

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

say
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

have built
<01129> (8804)

an altar
<04196>

over against
<04136>

the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

in the borders
<01552>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

at the passage
<05676>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:12

And when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], the whole congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)

at Shiloh
<07887>_,

to go up
<05927> (8800)

to war
<06635>

against them.

22:13

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

into the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>_,

22:14

And with him ten
<06235>

princes
<05387>_,

of each
<0259> <0259>

chief
<05387> <05387>

house
<01004>

a prince
<01>

throughout all the tribes
<04294>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and each one
<0376>

[was] an head
<07218>

of the house
<01004>

of their fathers
<01>

among the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{chief...: Heb. house of the father}

22:15

And they came
<0935> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

unto the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and they spake
<01696> (8762)

with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the whole congregation
<05712>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

What trespass
<04604>

[is] this that ye have committed
<04603> (8804)

against the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to turn away
<07725> (8800)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

in that ye have builded
<01129> (8800)

you an altar
<04196>_,

that ye might rebel
<04775> (8800)

this day
<03117>

against the LORD
<03068>_?

22:17

[Is] the iniquity
<05771>

of Peor
<06465>

too little
<04592>

for us, from which we are not cleansed
<02891> (8694)

until this day
<03117>_,

although there was a plague
<05063>

in the congregation
<05712>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

22:18

But that ye must turn away
<07725> (8799)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_?

and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel
<04775> (8799)

to day
<03117>

against the LORD
<03068>_,

that to morrow
<04279>

he will be wroth
<07107> (8799)

with the whole congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:19

Notwithstanding
<0389>_,

if the land
<0776>

of your possession
<0272>

[be] unclean
<02931>_,

[then] pass ye over
<05674> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of the possession
<0272>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

wherein the LORD'S
<03068>

tabernacle
<04908>

dwelleth
<07931> (8804)_,

and take possession
<0270> (8734)

among
<08432>

us: but rebel
<04775> (8799)

not against the LORD
<03068>_,

nor
<0408>

rebel
<04775> (8799)

against us, in building
<01129> (8800)

you an altar
<04196>

beside
<01107>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

22:20

Did not Achan
<05912>

the son
<01121>

of Zerah
<02226>

commit
<04603> (8804)

a trespass
<04604>

in the accursed thing
<02764>_,

and wrath
<07110>

fell
<01961> (8804)

on all the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_?

and that man
<0376>

perished
<01478> (8804)

not alone
<0259>

in his iniquity
<05771>_.

22:21

Then the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

answered
<06030> (8799)_,

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto the heads
<07218>

of the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>_,

22:22

The LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of gods
<0430>_,

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of gods
<0430>_,

he knoweth
<03045> (8802)_,

and Israel
<03478>

he shall know
<03045> (8799)_;

if [it be] in rebellion
<04777>_,

or if in transgression
<04604>

against the LORD
<03068>_,

(save
<03467> (8686)

us not this day
<03117>,)

22:23

That we have built
<01129> (8800)

us an altar
<04196>

to turn
<07725> (8800)

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

or if to offer
<05927> (8687)

thereon burnt offering
<05930>

or meat offering
<04503>_,

or if to offer
<06213> (8800)

peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>

thereon, let the LORD
<03068>

himself require
<01245> (8762)

[it];

22:24

And if we have not [rather] done
<06213> (8804)

it for fear
<01674>

of [this] thing
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In time to come
<04279>

your children
<01121>

might speak
<0559> (8799)

unto our children
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What have ye to do with the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_?

{In time...: Heb. To morrow}

22:25

For the LORD
<03068>

hath made
<05414> (8804)

Jordan
<03383>

a border
<01366>

between us and you, ye children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_;

ye have no part
<02506>

in the LORD
<03068>_:

so shall your children
<01121>

make
<07673> (0)

our children
<01121>

cease
<07673> (8689)

from
<01115>

fearing
<03372> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_.

22:26

Therefore we said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us now prepare
<06213> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

us an altar
<04196>_,

not for burnt offering
<05930>_,

nor for sacrifice
<02077>_:

22:27

But [that] it [may be] a witness
<05707>

between us, and you, and our generations
<01755>

after
<0310>

us, that we might do
<05647> (8800)

the service
<05656>

of the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

him with our burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and with our sacrifices
<02077>_,

and with our peace offerings
<08002>_;

that your children
<01121>

may not say
<0559> (8799)

to our children
<01121>

in time to come
<04279>_,

Ye have no part
<02506>

in the LORD
<03068>_.

22:28

Therefore said
<0559> (8799)

we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say
<0559> (8799)

to us or to our generations
<01755>

in time to come
<04279>_,

that we may say
<0559> (8804)

[again], Behold
<07200> (8798)

the pattern
<08403>

of the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which our fathers
<01>

made
<06213> (8804)_,

not for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

nor for sacrifices
<02077>_;

but it [is] a witness
<05707>

between us and you.

22:29

God forbid
<02486>

that we should rebel
<04775> (8800)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and turn
<07725> (8800)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to build
<01129> (8800)

an altar
<04196>

for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

for meat offerings
<04503>_,

or for sacrifices
<02077>_,

beside the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

that [is] before
<06440>

his tabernacle
<04908>_.

22:30

And when Phinehas
<06372>

the priest
<03548>_,

and the princes
<05387>

of the congregation
<05712>

and heads
<07218>

of the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>

which [were] with him, heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

that the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

it pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

them. {pleased...: Heb. was good in their eyes}

22:31

And Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

This day
<03117>

we perceive
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] among
<08432>

us, because ye have not committed
<04603> (8804)

this trespass
<04604>

against the LORD
<03068>_:

now
<0227>

ye have delivered
<05337> (8689)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{now: Heb. then}

22:32

And Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>_,

and the princes
<05387>_,

returned
<07725> (8799)

from the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and from the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

out of the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

unto the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

them word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.
