16 Thus says the whole witness of Yah Veh, What is this treason you treason against Elohim of Yisra El - to turn away this day from after Yah Veh by building a sacrifice altar - to rebel this day against Yah Veh?
17 Is the perversity of Peor too little for us from which we are not purified until this day - a plague in the witness of Yah Veh
18 to turn away this day from after Yah Veh? And so be it, today you rebel against Yah Veh; and tomorrow he enrages with the whole witness of Yisra El.
19 Surely, if the land of your possession is foul, pass over to the land of the possession of Yah Veh - wherein the tabernacle of Yah Veh tabernacles; and take possession among us: but neither rebel against Yah Veh nor rebel against us by building a sacrifice altar except the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh our Elohim.

24 And if we work not concerning this word, saying, Tomorrow your sons say to our sons, saying, What have you to do with Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El?
25 for Yah Veh gave Yarden for a border between us and between you, you sons of Reu Ben and sons of Gad; you have no allotment in Yah Veh: thus your sons cause our sons to cease by not awing Yah Veh.
26 So we say, We now work to build us a sacrifice altar, neither for holocaust nor for sacrifice:
