| 22:1 | Then Joshua <03091> called <07121> (8799) the Reubenites <07206>, and the Gadites <01425>, and the half <02677> tribe <04294> of Manasseh <04519>, |
| 22:2 | And said <0559> (8799) unto them, Ye have kept <08104> (8804) all that Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) you, and have obeyed <08085> (8799) my voice <06963> in all that I commanded <06680> (8765) you: |
| 22:3 | Ye have not left <05800> (8804) your brethren <0251> these many <07227> days <03117> unto this day <03117>, but have kept <08104> (8804) the charge <04931> of the commandment <04687> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>. |
| 22:4 | And now the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given rest <05117> (8689) unto your brethren <0251>, as he promised <01696> (8765) them: therefore now return <06437> (8798) ye, and get <03212> (8798) you unto your tents <0168>, [and] unto the land <0776> of your possession <0272>, which Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8804) you on the other side <05676> Jordan <03383>. |
| 22:5 | But take diligent <03966> heed <08104> (8798) to do <06213> (8800) the commandment <04687> and the law <08451>, which Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> charged <06680> (8765) you, to love <0157> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and to walk <03212> (8800) in all his ways <01870>, and to keep <08104> (8800) his commandments <04687>, and to cleave <01692> (8800) unto him, and to serve <05647> (8800) him with all your heart <03824> and with all your soul <05315>. |
| 22:6 | So Joshua <03091> blessed <01288> (8762) them, and sent them away <07971> (8762): and they went <03212> (8799) unto their tents <0168>. |
| 22:7 | Now to the [one] half <02677> of the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> Moses <04872> had given <05414> (8804) [possession] in Bashan <01316>: but unto the [other] half <02677> thereof gave <05414> (8804) Joshua <03091> among <05973> their brethren <0251> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> westward <03220>. And when Joshua <03091> sent them away <07971> (8765) also unto their tents <0168>, then he blessed <01288> (8762) them, |
| 22:8 | And he spake <0559> (8799) unto them, saying <0559> (8800), Return <07725> (8798) with much <07227> riches <05233> unto your tents <0168>, and with very <03966> much <07227> cattle <04735>, with silver <03701>, and with gold <02091>, and with brass <05178>, and with iron <01270>, and with very <03966> much <07235> (8687) raiment <08008>: divide <02505> (8798) the spoil <07998> of your enemies <0341> (8802) with your brethren <0251>. |
| 22:9 | And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> returned <07725> (8799), and departed <03212> (8799) from the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of Shiloh <07887>, which [is] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to go <03212> (8800) unto the country <0776> of Gilead <01568>, to the land <0776> of their possession <0272>, whereof they were possessed <0270> (8738), according to the word <06310> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>. |
| 22:10 | And when they came <0935> (8799) unto the borders <01552> of Jordan <03383>, that [are] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> built <01129> (8799) there an altar <04196> by Jordan <03383>, a great <01419> altar <04196> to see to <04758>. |
| 22:11 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> (8799) say <0559> (8800), Behold, the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> have built <01129> (8804) an altar <04196> over against <04136> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, in the borders <01552> of Jordan <03383>, at the passage <05676> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>. |
| 22:12 | And when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> (8799) [of it], the whole congregation <05712> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> gathered themselves together <06950> (8735) at Shiloh <07887>, to go up <05927> (8800) to war <06635> against them. |
| 22:13 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> sent <07971> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, into the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>, |
| 22:14 | And with him ten <06235> princes <05387>, of each <0259> <0259> chief <05387> <05387> house <01004> a prince <01> throughout all the tribes <04294> of Israel <03478>; and each one <0376> [was] an head <07218> of the house <01004> of their fathers <01> among the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>. {chief...: Heb. house of the father} |
| 22:15 | And they came <0935> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, unto the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, and they spake <01696> (8762) with them, saying <0559> (8800), |
| 22:16 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the whole congregation <05712> of the LORD <03068>, What trespass <04604> [is] this that ye have committed <04603> (8804) against the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, to turn away <07725> (8800) this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, in that ye have builded <01129> (8800) you an altar <04196>, that ye might rebel <04775> (8800) this day <03117> against the LORD <03068>? |
| 22:17 | [Is] the iniquity <05771> of Peor <06465> too little <04592> for us, from which we are not cleansed <02891> (8694) until this day <03117>, although there was a plague <05063> in the congregation <05712> of the LORD <03068>, |
| 22:18 | But that ye must turn away <07725> (8799) this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel <04775> (8799) to day <03117> against the LORD <03068>, that to morrow <04279> he will be wroth <07107> (8799) with the whole congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>. |
| 22:19 | Notwithstanding <0389>, if the land <0776> of your possession <0272> [be] unclean <02931>, [then] pass ye over <05674> (8798) unto the land <0776> of the possession <0272> of the LORD <03068>, wherein the LORD'S <03068> tabernacle <04908> dwelleth <07931> (8804), and take possession <0270> (8734) among <08432> us: but rebel <04775> (8799) not against the LORD <03068>, nor <0408> rebel <04775> (8799) against us, in building <01129> (8800) you an altar <04196> beside <01107> the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. |
| 22:20 | Did not Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226> commit <04603> (8804) a trespass <04604> in the accursed thing <02764>, and wrath <07110> fell <01961> (8804) on all the congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>? and that man <0376> perished <01478> (8804) not alone <0259> in his iniquity <05771>. |
| 22:21 | Then the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> answered <06030> (8799), and said <01696> (8762) unto the heads <07218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>, |
| 22:22 | The LORD <03068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, the LORD <03068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, he knoweth <03045> (8802), and Israel <03478> he shall know <03045> (8799); if [it be] in rebellion <04777>, or if in transgression <04604> against the LORD <03068>, (save <03467> (8686) us not this day <03117>,) |
| 22:23 | That we have built <01129> (8800) us an altar <04196> to turn <07725> (8800) from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, or if to offer <05927> (8687) thereon burnt offering <05930> or meat offering <04503>, or if to offer <06213> (8800) peace <08002> offerings <02077> thereon, let the LORD <03068> himself require <01245> (8762) [it]; |
| 22:24 | And if we have not [rather] done <06213> (8804) it for fear <01674> of [this] thing <01697>, saying <0559> (8800), In time to come <04279> your children <01121> might speak <0559> (8799) unto our children <01121>, saying <0559> (8800), What have ye to do with the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>? {In time...: Heb. To morrow} |
| 22:25 | For the LORD <03068> hath made <05414> (8804) Jordan <03383> a border <01366> between us and you, ye children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and children <01121> of Gad <01410>; ye have no part <02506> in the LORD <03068>: so shall your children <01121> make <07673> (0) our children <01121> cease <07673> (8689) from <01115> fearing <03372> (8800) the LORD <03068>. |
| 22:26 | Therefore we said <0559> (8799), Let us now prepare <06213> (8799) to build <01129> (8800) us an altar <04196>, not for burnt offering <05930>, nor for sacrifice <02077>: |
| 22:27 | But [that] it [may be] a witness <05707> between us, and you, and our generations <01755> after <0310> us, that we might do <05647> (8800) the service <05656> of the LORD <03068> before <06440> him with our burnt offerings <05930>, and with our sacrifices <02077>, and with our peace offerings <08002>; that your children <01121> may not say <0559> (8799) to our children <01121> in time to come <04279>, Ye have no part <02506> in the LORD <03068>. |
| 22:28 | Therefore said <0559> (8799) we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say <0559> (8799) to us or to our generations <01755> in time to come <04279>, that we may say <0559> (8804) [again], Behold <07200> (8798) the pattern <08403> of the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>, which our fathers <01> made <06213> (8804), not for burnt offerings <05930>, nor for sacrifices <02077>; but it [is] a witness <05707> between us and you. |
| 22:29 | God forbid <02486> that we should rebel <04775> (8800) against the LORD <03068>, and turn <07725> (8800) this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, to build <01129> (8800) an altar <04196> for burnt offerings <05930>, for meat offerings <04503>, or for sacrifices <02077>, beside the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430> that [is] before <06440> his tabernacle <04908>. |
| 22:30 | And when Phinehas <06372> the priest <03548>, and the princes <05387> of the congregation <05712> and heads <07218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478> which [were] with him, heard <08085> (8799) the words <01697> that the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519> spake <01696> (8765), it pleased <03190> (8799) <05869> them. {pleased...: Heb. was good in their eyes} |
| 22:31 | And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548> said <0559> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, This day <03117> we perceive <03045> (8804) that the LORD <03068> [is] among <08432> us, because ye have not committed <04603> (8804) this trespass <04604> against the LORD <03068>: now <0227> ye have delivered <05337> (8689) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>. {now: Heb. then} |
| 22:32 | And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>, and the princes <05387>, returned <07725> (8799) from the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and from the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, out of the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and brought <07725> (0) them word <01697> again <07725> (8686). |
| 22:33 | And the thing <01697> pleased <03190> (8799) <05869> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>; and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> blessed <01288> (8762) God <0430>, and did not intend <0559> (8804) to go up <05927> (8800) against them in battle <06635>, to destroy <07843> (8763) the land <0776> wherein the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and Gad <01410> dwelt <03427> (8802). |
| 22:34 | And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> called <07121> (8799) the altar <04196> [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness <05707> between us that the LORD <03068> [is] God <0430>. {Ed: that is, A witness} |
