Josué 22

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