King James Version
Then Joshua calleth
for
the Reubenite
, and for
the Gadite
, and for
the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh,
Then Joshua called
the Reubenites
, and the Gadites
, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
and saith
unto them, `
Ye --
ye
have kept the
whole
of
that which
Moses ,
servant of Jehovah,
commanded you, and ye
hearken
to
my voice ,
to
all that I have
commanded you ;
And said
unto them, Ye have kept all
that Moses the
servant of the
LORD
commanded you, and have
obeyed
my voice in
all that I commanded you :
ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and
have kept the charge --
the command
of Jehovah
your God.
Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but
have kept the charge of
the commandment
of the
LORD
your God.
`
And ,
now ,
Jehovah
your God hath given rest to
your brethren, as He spake
to
them ;
and
now ,
turn
ye, and go
for
yourselves
to
your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses ,
servant of Jehovah,
hath
given
to
you beyond
the Jordan.
And now the
LORD
your God hath given rest unto
your brethren, as he promised
them :
therefore
now return
ye, and get
you
unto
your tents, and
unto the land of your possession, which Moses the
servant of the
LORD
gave
you on
the other
side
Jordan.
Only,
be
very
watchful
to do the command
and the law which Moses ,
servant of Jehovah,
commanded
you, to love Jehovah
your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands
, and to cleave to
Him, and to serve Him ,
with all your heart ,
and with all your soul. '
But
take
diligent
heed
to do the commandment
and the law ,
which Moses the
servant of the
LORD
charged
you, to love the
LORD
your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments
, and to cleave unto
him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
And
Joshua blesseth
them, and sendeth
them away ,
and they go
unto their tents.
So
Joshua blessed
them, and sent
them away :
and they went
unto their tents.
And
to the half of the tribe of Manasseh hath
Moses given ,
in Bashan ,
and
to
its
`
other '
half hath
Joshua given
with
their brethren beyond
the
Jordan westward ;
and also
when Joshua hath
sent them away unto their tents, then he doth
bless
them,
Now
to the one
half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had
given possession
in Bashan :
but
unto
the
other half thereof
gave
Joshua among
their brethren on
this
side
Jordan westward .
And when Joshua sent them away also
unto their tents, then he blessed
them,
and speak
unto them, saying, `
With great
riches turn
ye
back
unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment ;
divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. '
And he
spake
unto them, saying, Return
with much
riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment :
divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
And the sons
of Reuben ,
and the sons
of Gad ,
and the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh, turn
back
and go
from the sons
of Israel out of Shiloh, which `
is '
in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land
of Gilead, unto
the land of their possession, in
which
they have
possession
, according to the command
of Jehovah,
by the hand of Moses ;
And the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned
, and departed
from the children
of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country
of Gilead, to
the land of their possession, whereof
they were
possessed
, according to the word
of the
LORD
by the hand of Moses .
and they come
in
unto the districts
of the
Jordan, which
`
are '
in the land of Canaan, and
the sons
of Reuben ,
and the sons
of Gad ,
and the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh ,
build
there an altar by the
Jordan --
a great altar for
appearance
.
And when
they came
unto the borders
of Jordan, that
are in the land of Canaan, the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built
there an altar by Jordan ,
a great altar to
see
to
.
And the sons
of Israel hear,
saying
, `Lo
, the sons
of Reuben ,
and the sons
of Gad ,
and the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh ,
have built the
altar over -
against the land of Canaan, on
the districts
of the
Jordan, at the passage of the sons
of Israel. '
And the children
of Israel heard
say
, Behold
, the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an
altar over against the land of Canaan, in
the borders
of Jordan, at the passage of the children
of Israel.
And the sons
of Israel hear
, and
all
the company
of the sons
of Israel is
assembled
at Shiloh, to go up against
them
to war ;
And when
the children
of Israel heard
of
it
, the whole
congregation
of the children
of Israel gathered
themselves
together
at Shiloh, to go up to war against
them.
and the sons
of Israel send
unto the sons
of Reuben, and unto
the sons
of Gad, and unto
the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh --
unto
the land of Gilead --
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest,
And the children
of Israel sent
unto the children
of Reuben, and to
the children
of Gad, and to
the half tribe of Manasseh ,
into
the land of Gilead ,
Phinehas the
son of Eleazar the priest,
and ten
princes
with him ,
one
prince,
one
prince
, for
a
house
of a father,
for
all the tribes of Israel ,
and each of
them
a
head of a
house of their fathers ,
for
the thousands of Israel.
And with him ten
princes
, of each
chief
house
a prince
throughout
all the tribes of Israel ;
and each one
was
an
head of the
house of their fathers among
the thousands of Israel.
And they come
in
unto the sons
of Reuben, and unto
the sons
of Gad, and unto
the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and speak
with them, saying,
And they came
unto the children
of Reuben, and to
the children
of Gad, and to
the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they
spake
with them, saying,
`
Thus said
all
the company
of Jehovah
, What `
is '
this trespass
which
ye have trespassed
against the God of Israel, to turn back
to-
day from after
Jehovah
, by
your
building
for
you an altar, for
your
rebelling
to-
day against Jehovah
?
Thus saith
the whole
congregation
of the
LORD
, What trespass
is this that
ye have committed
against the God of Israel, to turn away
this
day from following
the
LORD
, in
that
ye
have
builded
you an altar, that
ye
might
rebel
this
day against the
LORD
?
Is the iniquity of Peor little to
us, from which we have
not been
cleansed till
this day --
and
the
plague is
in the company
of Jehovah
,
Is the iniquity of Peor too
little for
us, from which we are
not cleansed until
this day ,
although
there
was
a
plague in the congregation
of the
LORD
,
that ye turn back
to-
day from after
Jehovah
? and it hath
been
--
ye rebel to -
day against Jehovah
--
and
to -
morrow against
all
the company
of Israel He
is
wroth
.
But
that ye must
turn away
this
day from following
the
LORD
? and it will
be,
seeing
ye rebel to day against the
LORD,
that
to morrow he
will
be
wroth
with
the whole
congregation
of Israel.
`And
surely
, if the land of your possession is
unclean, pass over for
you
unto the land of the possession of Jehovah
, where
the tabernacle of
Jehovah
hath
tabernacled
, and have
possession in
our
midst;
and
against
Jehovah
rebel not, and
against us rebel
not
, by
your
building for
you an altar ,
besides
the altar of Jehovah
our God.
Notwithstanding
, if the land of your possession be
unclean, then
pass ye
over unto the land of the possession of the
LORD
, wherein
the LORD's
tabernacle dwelleth
, and take
possession among
us:
but
rebel not against
the
LORD
, nor
rebel
against us, in
building you an altar beside
the altar of the
LORD
our God.
Did not Achan son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted
thing, and on all the company
of Israel there
was
wrath
? and he
alone
expired
not in his iniquity. '
Did not Achan the
son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed
thing, and wrath
fell
on all the congregation
of Israel? and that
man
perished
not alone
in his iniquity.
And
the sons
of Reuben ,
and the sons
of Gad ,
and the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh, answer
and speak
with
the heads of the thousands of Israel :
Then
the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered
, and said
unto
the heads of the thousands of Israel ,
`
The God of gods --
Jehovah
, the God of gods --
Jehovah
, He is
knowing
, and Israel ,
he doth
know ,
if in rebellion, and
if in trespass
against Jehovah
( Thou
dost
not
save us this day !
)
The LORD
God of gods, the LORD
God of gods, he knoweth
, and Israel he shall
know ;
if it
be
in rebellion, or
if in transgression
against the
LORD,
(save us not
this day ,
)
`
we are'
building
for
ourselves
an altar to turn back
from after
Jehovah
, and
if to cause
to
go
up
on
it
burnt -
offering and
present
, and
if to make
on
it
peace -
offerings --
Jehovah
Himself doth
require `
it '.
That
we have
built
us
an altar to turn from following
the
LORD
, or
if to offer
thereon
burnt offering or
meat
offering
, or
if to offer
peace offerings thereon,
let
the
LORD
himself require it ;
`
And if not ,
from
fear of `
this '
thing we
have
done
it
, saying, Hereafter
your sons
do
speak to
ours
sons
, saying, What to
you
and
to Jehovah
God of Israel?
And if we
have
not rather
done
it
for
fear of this thing, saying, In
time
to
come
your children
might
speak unto
our
children
, saying, What have
ye
to do
with
the
LORD
God of Israel?
for a border hath
Jehovah
put
between us and you, O
sons
of Reuben ,
and sons
of Gad --
Jordan
; ye have no portion
in Jehovah
--
and
your sons
have
caused
our sons
to
cease ,
not
to
fear
Jehovah
.
For the
LORD
hath
made
Jordan
a border between us and you, ye
children
of Reuben and children
of Gad; ye have no part
in the
LORD:
so
shall
your children
make
our children
cease from
fearing
the
LORD
.
`And
we say
, Pray
let us prepare for
ourselves
to build the
altar --
not for burnt -
offering nor for sacrifice --
Therefore
we said
, Let us now
prepare to build us
an
altar ,
not for burnt offering ,
nor for sacrifice :
but a witness it
`is'
between us and you, and between
our generations after us, to
do the service of Jehovah
before Him with our burnt -
offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace -
offerings ,
and
your sons
do
not say hereafter
to our sons
, Ye have no portion
in Jehovah
.
But that
it
may
be
a witness between us ,
and you, and our generations after us, that
we
might
do the service of the
LORD
before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings ;
that
your children
may
not say to our children
in
time
to
come
, Ye have no part
in the
LORD
.
`And
we say
, And
it hath
been
, when they say
`
so '
unto
us ,
and
unto
our generations hereafter
, that we have
said
, See
the pattern of the altar of Jehovah
, which our fathers made --
not for burnt -offering
nor for sacrifice
--
but a
witness
it `
is '
between us and you.
Therefore
said
we, that
it shall
be
, when they should
so say
to
us or
to
our generations in
time
to
come
, that we may
say
again
, Behold
the pattern of the altar of the
LORD
, which our fathers made ,
not for burnt offerings,
nor for sacrifices;
but it is a
witness
between us and you.
`Far
be
it
from
us
to
rebel against Jehovah
, and to
turn back
to-
day from after
Jehovah
, to build an altar for burnt -offering
, for present
, and
for sacrifice
, apart
from
the altar of Jehovah
our God ,
which
`
is '
before His tabernacle. '
God
forbid
that
we
should
rebel against the
LORD
, and turn this
day from following
the
LORD
, to build an altar for burnt offerings
, for meat
offerings
, or
for sacrifices
, beside
the altar of the
LORD
our God that
is before his tabernacle.
And Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the company,
and the
heads of the thousands of Israel ,
who
`are'
with him, hear
the words which
the sons
of Reuben ,
and the sons
of Gad ,
and the sons
of Manasseh have
spoken
, and
it is
good
in
their
eyes
.
And when
Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation
and heads of the thousands of Israel which
were
with him, heard
the words that
the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad and the children
of Manasseh spake
, it pleased
them
.
And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest saith
unto the sons
of Reuben, and unto
the sons
of Gad, and unto
the sons
of Manasseh, `To-
day we have
known
that Jehovah
`
is '
in
our
midst
, because ye have not committed against
Jehovah
this trespass --
then
ye have delivered the sons
of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah
. '
And Phinehas the
son of Eleazar the priest said
unto the children
of Reuben, and to
the children
of Gad, and to
the children
of Manasseh, This
day we perceive
that the
LORD
is among
us
, because ye have not committed this trespass against
the
LORD:
now
ye have delivered the children
of Israel out of the hand of the
LORD
.
And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, turn
back
from the sons
of Reuben, and from the sons
of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto
the sons
of Israel, and bring
them back
word ;
And Phinehas the
son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned
from the children
of Reuben, and from the children
of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to
the children
of Israel, and brought
them word again.
and the thing is
good
in
the
eyes
of
the sons
of Israel ,
and the sons
of Israel bless
God, and have
not said
to go up against them to
war
, to destroy the land which
the sons
of Reuben ,
and the
sons
of
Gad ,
are
dwelling
in
.
And the thing pleased
the children
of Israel ;
and the children
of Israel blessed
God, and did
not intend
to go up against them in
battle
, to destroy the land wherein
the children
of Reuben and Gad dwelt
.
And the sons
of Reuben and the sons
of Gad proclaim
concerning
the altar ,
that
`
it `is'
a witness between us that Jehovah
`
is '
God. '
And the children
of Reuben and the children
of Gad called
the altar Ed:
for
it shall
be
a witness between us that the
LORD
is God.
