Joshua 22

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H3091 Then Joshua H7121 called [H8799]   H7206 the Reubenites H1425 , and the Gadites H2677 , and the half H4294 tribe H4519 of Manasseh,
  2 H559 And said [H8799]   H8104 unto them, Ye have kept [H8804]   H4872 all that Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of the LORD H6680 commanded [H8765]   H8085 you, and have obeyed [H8799]   H6963 my voice H6680 in all that I commanded [H8765]   you:
  3 H5800 Ye have not left [H8804]   H251 your brethren H7227 these many H3117 days H3117 unto this day H8104 , but have kept [H8804]   H4931 the charge H4687 of the commandment H3068 of the LORD H430 your God.
  4 H3068 And now the LORD H430 your God H5117 hath given rest [H8689]   H251 unto your brethren H1696 , as he promised [H8765]   H6437 them: therefore now return [H8798]   H3212 ye, and get [H8798]   H168 you unto your tents H776 , and unto the land H272 of your possession H4872 , which Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of the LORD H5414 gave [H8804]   H5676 you on the other side H3383 Jordan.
  5 H3966 But take diligent H8104 heed [H8798]   H6213 to do [H8800]   H4687 the commandment H8451 and the law H4872 , which Moses H5650 the servant H3068 of the LORD H6680 charged [H8765]   H157 you, to love [H8800]   H3068 the LORD H430 your God H3212 , and to walk [H8800]   H1870 in all his ways H8104 , and to keep [H8800]   H4687 his commandments H1692 , and to cleave [H8800]   H5647 unto him, and to serve [H8800]   H3824 him with all your heart H5315 and with all your soul.
  6 H3091 So Joshua H1288 blessed [H8762]   H7971 them, and sent them away [H8762]   H3212 : and they went [H8799]   H168 unto their tents.
  7 H2677 Now to the one half H7626 of the tribe H4519 of Manasseh H4872 Moses H5414 had given [H8804]   H1316 possession in Bashan H2677 : but unto the other half H5414 thereof gave [H8804]   H3091 Joshua H5973 among H251 their brethren H5676 on this side H3383 Jordan H3220 westward H3091 . And when Joshua H7971 sent them away [H8765]   H168 also unto their tents H1288 , then he blessed [H8762]   them,
  8 H559 And he spake [H8799]   H559 unto them, saying [H8800]   H7725 , Return [H8798]   H7227 with much H5233 riches H168 unto your tents H3966 , and with very H7227 much H4735 cattle H3701 , with silver H2091 , and with gold H5178 , and with brass H1270 , and with iron H3966 , and with very H7235 much [H8687]   H8008 raiment H2505 : divide [H8798]   H7998 the spoil H341 of your enemies [H8802]   H251 with your brethren.
  9 H1121 And the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H7725 returned [H8799]   H3212 , and departed [H8799]   H1121 from the children H3478 of Israel H7887 out of Shiloh H776 , which is in the land H3667 of Canaan H3212 , to go [H8800]   H776 unto the country H1568 of Gilead H776 , to the land H272 of their possession H270 , whereof they were possessed [H8738]   H6310 , according to the word H3068 of the LORD H3027 by the hand H4872 of Moses.
  10 H935 And when they came [H8799]   H1552 unto the borders H3383 of Jordan H776 , that are in the land H3667 of Canaan H1121 , the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H1129 built [H8799]   H4196 there an altar H3383 by Jordan H1419 , a great H4196 altar H4758 to see to.
  11 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H8085 heard [H8799]   H559 say [H8800]   H1121 , Behold, the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H1129 have built [H8804]   H4196 an altar H4136 over against H776 the land H3667 of Canaan H1552 , in the borders H3383 of Jordan H5676 , at the passage H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel.
  12 H1121 And when the children H3478 of Israel H8085 heard [H8799]   H5712 of it, the whole congregation H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H6950 gathered themselves together [H8735]   H7887 at Shiloh H5927 , to go up [H8800]   H6635 to war against them.
  13 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H7971 sent [H8799]   H1121 unto the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 , and to the children H1410 of Gad H2677 , and to the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H776 , into the land H1568 of Gilead H6372 , Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest,
  14 H6235 And with him ten H5387 princes H259 , of each H259   H5387 chief H5387   H1004 house H1 a prince H4294 throughout all the tribes H3478 of Israel H376 ; and each one H7218 was an head H1004 of the house H1 of their fathers H505 among the thousands H3478 of Israel.
  15 H935 And they came [H8799]   H1121 unto the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 , and to the children H1410 of Gad H2677 , and to the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H776 , unto the land H1568 of Gilead H1696 , and they spake [H8762]   H559 with them, saying [H8800]  ,
  16 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H5712 the whole congregation H3068 of the LORD H4604 , What trespass H4603 is this that ye have committed [H8804]   H430 against the God H3478 of Israel H7725 , to turn away [H8800]   H3117 this day H310 from following H3068 the LORD H1129 , in that ye have builded [H8800]   H4196 you an altar H4775 , that ye might rebel [H8800]   H3117 this day H3068 against the LORD?
  17 H5771 Is the iniquity H6465 of Peor H4592 too little H2891 for us, from which we are not cleansed [H8694]   H3117 until this day H5063 , although there was a plague H5712 in the congregation H3068 of the LORD,
  18 H7725 But that ye must turn away [H8799]   H3117 this day H310 from following H3068 the LORD H4775 ? and it will be, seeing ye rebel [H8799]   H3117 to day H3068 against the LORD H4279 , that to morrow H7107 he will be wroth [H8799]   H5712 with the whole congregation H3478 of Israel.
  19 H389 Notwithstanding H776 , if the land H272 of your possession H2931 be unclean H5674 , then pass ye over [H8798]   H776 unto the land H272 of the possession H3068 of the LORD H3068 , wherein the LORD'S H4908 tabernacle H7931 dwelleth [H8804]   H270 , and take possession [H8734]   H8432 among H4775 us: but rebel [H8799]   H3068 not against the LORD H408 , nor H4775 rebel [H8799]   H1129 against us, in building [H8800]   H4196 you an altar H1107 beside H4196 the altar H3068 of the LORD H430 our God.
  20 H5912 Did not Achan H1121 the son H2226 of Zerah H4603 commit [H8804]   H4604 a trespass H2764 in the accursed thing H7110 , and wrath H1961 fell [H8804]   H5712 on all the congregation H3478 of Israel H376 ? and that man H1478 perished [H8804]   H259 not alone H5771 in his iniquity.
  21 H1121 Then the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H2677 and the half H7626 tribe H4519 of Manasseh H6030 answered [H8799]   H1696 , and said [H8762]   H7218 unto the heads H505 of the thousands H3478 of Israel,
  22 H3068 The LORD H410 God H430 of gods H3068 , the LORD H410 God H430 of gods H3045 , he knoweth [H8802]   H3478 , and Israel H3045 he shall know [H8799]   H4777 ; if it be in rebellion H4604 , or if in transgression H3068 against the LORD H3467 , (save [H8686]   H3117 us not this day,)
  23 H1129 That we have built [H8800]   H4196 us an altar H7725 to turn [H8800]   H310 from following H3068 the LORD H5927 , or if to offer [H8687]   H5930 thereon burnt offering H4503 or meat offering H6213 , or if to offer [H8800]   H8002 peace H2077 offerings H3068 thereon, let the LORD H1245 himself require [H8762]   it;
  24 H6213 And if we have not rather done [H8804]   H1674 it for fear H1697 of this thing H559 , saying [H8800]   H4279 , In time to come H1121 your children H559 might speak [H8799]   H1121 unto our children H559 , saying [H8800]   H3068 , What have ye to do with the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel?
  25 H3068 For the LORD H5414 hath made [H8804]   H3383 Jordan H1366 a border H1121 between us and you, ye children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and children H1410 of Gad H2506 ; ye have no part H3068 in the LORD H1121 : so shall your children H7673 make H1121 our children H7673 cease [H8689]   H1115 from H3372 fearing [H8800]   H3068 the LORD.
  26 H559 Therefore we said [H8799]   H6213 , Let us now prepare [H8799]   H1129 to build [H8800]   H4196 us an altar H5930 , not for burnt offering H2077 , nor for sacrifice:
  27 H5707 But that it may be a witness H1755 between us, and you, and our generations H310 after H5647 us, that we might do [H8800]   H5656 the service H3068 of the LORD H6440 before H5930 him with our burnt offerings H2077 , and with our sacrifices H8002 , and with our peace offerings H1121 ; that your children H559 may not say [H8799]   H1121 to our children H4279 in time to come H2506 , Ye have no part H3068 in the LORD.
  28 H559 Therefore said [H8799]   H559 we, that it shall be, when they should so say [H8799]   H1755 to us or to our generations H4279 in time to come H559 , that we may say [H8804]   H7200 again, Behold [H8798]   H8403 the pattern H4196 of the altar H3068 of the LORD H1 , which our fathers H6213 made [H8804]   H5930 , not for burnt offerings H2077 , nor for sacrifices H5707 ; but it is a witness between us and you.
  29 H2486 God forbid H4775 that we should rebel [H8800]   H3068 against the LORD H7725 , and turn [H8800]   H3117 this day H310 from following H3068 the LORD H1129 , to build [H8800]   H4196 an altar H5930 for burnt offerings H4503 , for meat offerings H2077 , or for sacrifices H4196 , beside the altar H3068 of the LORD H430 our God H6440 that is before H4908 his tabernacle.
  30 H6372 And when Phinehas H3548 the priest H5387 , and the princes H5712 of the congregation H7218 and heads H505 of the thousands H3478 of Israel H8085 which were with him, heard [H8799]   H1697 the words H1121 that the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H1121 and the children H4519 of Manasseh H1696 spake [H8765]   H3190 , it pleased [H8799]   H5869   them.
  31 H6372 And Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest H559 said [H8799]   H1121 unto the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 , and to the children H1410 of Gad H1121 , and to the children H4519 of Manasseh H3117 , This day H3045 we perceive [H8804]   H3068 that the LORD H8432 is among H4603 us, because ye have not committed [H8804]   H4604 this trespass H3068 against the LORD H227 : now H5337 ye have delivered [H8689]   H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H3027 out of the hand H3068 of the LORD.
  32 H6372 And Phinehas H1121 the son H499 of Eleazar H3548 the priest H5387 , and the princes H7725 , returned [H8799]   H1121 from the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 , and from the children H1410 of Gad H776 , out of the land H1568 of Gilead H776 , unto the land H3667 of Canaan H1121 , to the children H3478 of Israel H7725 , and brought H1697 them word H7725 again [H8686]  .
  33 H1697 And the thing H3190 pleased [H8799]   H5869   H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H1121 ; and the children H3478 of Israel H1288 blessed [H8762]   H430 God H559 , and did not intend [H8804]   H5927 to go up [H8800]   H6635 against them in battle H7843 , to destroy [H8763]   H776 the land H1121 wherein the children H7205 of Reuben H1410 and Gad H3427 dwelt [H8802]  .
  34 H1121 And the children H7205 of Reuben H1121 and the children H1410 of Gad H7121 called [H8799]   H4196 the altar H5707 Ed : for it shall be a witness H3068 between us that the LORD H430 is God.
ERV(i) 1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 2 and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you: 3 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. 4 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan. 5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded 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. 6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents. 7 Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan: but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them, 8 and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth 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. 9 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 land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 10 And when they came unto the region about Jordan, that is 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. 11 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 in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel. 12 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 against them to war. 13 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; 14 and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel. 15 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, 16 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, to rebel this day against the LORD? 17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD, 18 that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 Howbeit, 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 besides the altar of the LORD our God. 20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. 21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, 22 The LORD, the God of gods, the LORD, the God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD, (save thou us not this day,) 23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it; 24 and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD, the God of Israel? 25 for the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD. 26 Therefore we said, Let as now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 27 but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may 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 portion in the LORD. 28 Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you. 29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle. 30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the 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 well. 31 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 know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD. 32 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. 33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt. 34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that the LORD is God.
