Joshua 22:26-27

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, ¹  and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the Lord in his very presence ²  with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. ³  Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, ‘You have no right to worship the Lord.’ ⁴ 

[22:27]  ¹ tn Heb “but it is a witness between us and you.”

[22:27]  ² tn Heb “to do the service of the Lord before him.”

[22:27]  ³ tn Or “peace offerings.”

[22:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “You have no portion in the Lord.”
