Joshua 22:21-31

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}
