CLV(i)
16 `Thus said all the company of Yahweh, What [is] this trespass which you have trespassed against the Elohim of Israel, to turn back to-day from after Yahweh, by your building for you an altar, for your rebelling to-day against Yahweh?
17 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 Yahweh,
18 that you turn back to-day from after Yahweh? and it has been--you rebel to-day against Yahweh--and to-morrow against all the company of Israel He is wroth.
19 `And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for you unto the land of the possession of Yahweh, where the tabernacle of Yahweh has tabernacled, and have possession in our midst; and against Yahweh rebel not, and against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar, besides the altar of Yahweh our Elohim.
