Joshua 22:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 THEN JOSHUA called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 And said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 You have not deserted your brethren the other tribes these many days to this day but have carefully kept the charge of the Lord your God.
4 But now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; so now go, return to your homes in the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on the east side of the Jordan.
5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord charged you: to love the Lord your God and to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and to cling to and unite with Him and to serve Him with all your heart and soul your very life.
6 So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their homes.
7 Now to one-half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave a possession on the west side of the Jordan among their brethren. So when Joshua sent them away to their homes, he blessed them,
8 And he said to them, Return with much riches to your tents and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
9 So the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home, parting from the other Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had been given possession by the command of the Lord through Moses.
10 And when they came to the region of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar great to behold.
11 And the other Israelites heard it said, Behold, the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the edge of the land of Canaan in the region west of the Jordan in the passage belonging to us, the Israelites.
12 When the Israelites heard of it, the whole congregation of the sons of Israel gathered at Shiloh to make war on them.
13 And the other Israelites sent to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest,
14 And with him ten chiefs, one from each of the tribal families of Israel; and each one was a head of a father's house among the clans of Israel.
15 And they came to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they said to them,
16 The whole congregation of the Lord says, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that you have built yourselves an altar to rebel this day against the Lord?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed even now, although there came a plague in which 24,000 died in the congregation of the Lord, Num. 25:1-9.
18 That you must turn away this day from following the Lord? The result will be, since you rebel today against the Lord, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 But now, if your land is unclean, pass over into the Lord's land, where the Lord's tabernacle resides, and take for yourselves a possession among us. But do not rebel against the Lord or rebel against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Did not Achan son of Zerah commit a trespass in the matter of taking accursed things devoted to destruction and wrath fall on all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone in his perversity and iniquity. Josh. 7.
21 Then the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh said to the heads of the clans of Israel,
22 The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God, the Lord! He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in transgression against the Lord, spare us not today.
23 If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the Lord, or if we did so to offer on it burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings, may the Lord Himself take vengeance.
24 No! But we did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
25 For the Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you Reubenites and Gadites; you have no part in the Lord. So your children might make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
26 So we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice,
27 But to be a witness between us and you and between the generations after us, that we will perform the service of the Lord before Him with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and peace offerings; lest your children say to our children in time to come, You have no portion in the Lord.
28 So we thought, if that should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we can reply, Behold the copy of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices, but to be a witness between us and you.
29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord and turn away this day from following the Lord to build an altar for burnt offerings, for cereal offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the Lord our God that is before His tabernacle.
30 And when Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation and heads of the clans of Israel who were with him heard the words that the Reubenites, Gadites, and Manassites spoke, it pleased them.
31 Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, said to the Reubenites, Gadites, and Manassites, Today we know the Lord is among us, because you have not committed this trespass and treachery against the Lord; now you have saved the Israelites from the Lord's hand.
32 Then Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, and the chiefs returned from the Reubenites and Gadites in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the other Israelites, and brought back word to them.
33 The report pleased the Israelites and they blessed God; and they spoke no more of going to war against them to destroy the land in which the Reubenites and Gadites dwelt.
34 The Reubenites and Gadites called the altar Ed witness, saying, It shall be: A Witness Between Us that the Lord is God.
1 Then H227 ADV Joshua H3091 called H7121 VQY3MS the Reubenites H7206 , and the Gadites H1425 , and the half H2677 tribe H4294 of Manasseh H4519 ,

3 Ye have not H3808 ADV left H5800 your brethren H251 these H2088 DPRO many H7227 AMP days H3117 NMP unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , but have kept H8104 the charge H4931 of the commandment H4687 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 .
4 And now H6258 W-ADV the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 hath given rest H5117 unto your brethren H251 , as H834 RPRO he promised H1696 VPQ3MS them : therefore now H6258 W-ADV return H6437 VQI2MP ye , and get H1980 W-VQI2MP you unto your tents H168 , and unto H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of your possession H272 , which H834 RPRO Moses H4872 the servant H5650 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS gave H5414 UNKN you on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 .
5 But H7535 ADV take diligent H3966 ADV heed H8104 to do H6213 L-VQFC the commandment H4687 and the law H8451 , which H834 RPRO Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 EDS charged H6680 VPQ3MS you , to love H157 the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , and to walk H1980 WL-VQFC in all H3605 B-CMS his ways H1870 CMP-3MS , and to keep H8104 his commandments H4687 , and to cleave H1692 unto him , and to serve H5647 him with all H3605 B-CMS your heart H3824 and with all H3605 WB-CMS your soul H5315 .
6 So Joshua H3091 blessed H1288 them , and sent them away H7971 W-VPY3MS-3MP : and they went H1980 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP their tents H168 .
7 Now to the one half H2677 of the tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 VQQ3MS possession in Bashan H1316 : but unto the other half H2677 thereof gave H5414 VQQ3MS Joshua H3091 among H5973 PREP their brethren H251 on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS westward H3220 . And when H3588 CONJ Joshua H3091 sent them away H7971 also H1571 W-CONJ unto H413 PREP their tents H168 , then he blessed H1288 them ,
8 And he spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Return H7725 with much H7227 AMS riches H5233 unto H413 PREP your tents H168 , and with very H3966 ADV much H7227 AMS cattle H4735 , with silver H3701 , and with gold H2091 , and with brass H5178 , and with iron H1270 , and with very H3966 ADV much H7235 VHFA raiment H8008 : divide H2505 the spoil H7998 of your enemies H341 with H5973 PREP your brethren H251 .
9 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 returned H7725 W-VUY3MP , and departed H1980 W-VQY3MP from the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 out of Shiloh H7887 , which H834 RPRO is in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS , to go H1980 L-VQFC unto H413 PREP the country H776 GFS of Gilead H1568 , to H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of their possession H272 , whereof H834 RPRO they were possessed H270 , according H5921 PREP to the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 EDS by the hand H3027 B-CFS of Moses H4872 .
10 And when they came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP the borders H1552 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS , that H834 RPRO are in the land H776 B-GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS , the children H1121 CMP of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 built H1129 there H8033 ADV an altar H4196 NMS by H5921 PREP Jordan H3383 D-EFS , a great H1419 AMS altar H4196 NMS to see H4758 to .
11 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 say H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 W-CMP of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 have built H1129 an altar H4196 D-NMS over against H413 PREP 6 H4136 PREP the land H776 GFS of Canaan H3667 LMS , in H413 PREP the borders H1552 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS , at H413 PREP the passage H1552 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
12 And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 W-VQY3MP of it , the whole H3605 NMS congregation H5712 CFS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together H6950 at Shiloh H7887 , to go H5927 L-VQFC up to war H6635 against H5921 PREP-3MP them .
13 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and to H413 PREP the children H1121 of Gad H1410 , and to H413 PREP the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 , into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of Gilead H1568 , Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 ,

16 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MP the whole H3605 NMS congregation H5712 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , What H4100 IGAT trespass H4604 is this H2088 D-PMS that H834 RPRO ye have committed H4603 against the God H430 of Israel H3478 , to turn away H7725 this day H3117 D-AMS from following H310 the LORD H3068 EDS , in that ye have built H1129 you an altar H4196 NMS , that ye might rebel H4775 this day H3117 D-AMS against the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?
17 Is the iniquity H5771 of Peor H6465 too little H4592 D-AMS for us , from H4480 M-PREP-3MS which H834 RPRO we are not H3808 ADV cleansed H2891 until H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , although there was H1961 W-VQY3MS a plague H5063 in the congregation H5712 B-CFS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ,

22 The LORD H3068 EDS God H410 EDS of gods H430 EDP , the LORD H3068 EDS God H410 EDS of gods H430 EDP , he H1931 PPRO-3MS knoweth H3045 VQPMS , and Israel H3478 he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall know H3045 VQY3MS ; if H518 PART it be in rebellion H4777 , or if H518 PART in transgression H4604 against the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS , ( save H3467 us not H408 NPAR this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , )
23 That we have built H1129 us an altar H4196 NMS to turn H7725 from following H310 the LORD H3068 EDS , or if H518 W-PART to offer H5927 thereon H5921 PREP-3MS burnt offering H5930 NFS or meat offering H4503 , or if H518 W-PART to offer H6213 L-VQFC peace H8002 offerings H2077 thereon H5921 PREP-3MS , let the LORD H3068 EDS himself H1931 PPRO-3MS require H1245 it ;

25 For the LORD H3068 EDS hath made H5414 Jordan H3383 D-EFS a border H1366 between H996 us and you , ye children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 and children H1121 of Gad H1410 ; ye have no H369 NPAR part H2506 CMS in the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS : so shall your children H1121 make our children H1121 W-CMP cease H7673 from fearing H3372 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
