and said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you:

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them: therefore now turn you, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.

יְהוָ֤ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

יְהוָה֒ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֨ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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 to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּיהוָֽה׃ (יהוָֽה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? and it will be, seeing you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

However, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh's tent dwells, and take possession among us: but don't rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Yahweh our God.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”וּבַֽיהוָ֣ה (יהוָ֣ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don't save us this day),

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Yahweh himself require it;

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and if we have not [supplied: rather] out of carefulness done this, [supplied: and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?

וְלַֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

for Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.

יְ֠הוָה Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּֽיהוָ֑ה (יהוָ֑ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not tell our children in time to come, You have no portion in Yahweh.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּיהוָֽה׃ (יהוָֽה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so tell us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tent.

בַּֽיהוָ֗ה (יהוָ֗ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh: now have you delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”בַּֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

The children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [supplied: Ed]: For, [supplied: said they], it is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;

יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations because of you; for Yahweh your God, he it is that has fought for you.

יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Yahweh your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.

וַיהוָ֣ה (יהוָ֣ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

but cleave to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.

בַּיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For Yahweh has driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Yahweh your God, he it is who fights for you, as he spoke to you.

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love Yahweh your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
