and saith unto them, `Ye -- ye have kept the whole of that which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, and ye hearken to my voice, to all that I have commanded you;

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and have kept the charge -- the command of Jehovah your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

`And, now, Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as He spake to them; and now, turn ye, and go for yourselves to your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan.

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

Only, be very watchful to do the command and the law which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, 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”

And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which `is' in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, in which they have possession, according to the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses;

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

`Thus said all the company of Jehovah, What `is' this trespass which ye have trespassed against the God of Israel, to turn back to-day from after Jehovah, by your building for you an altar, for your rebelling to-day against Jehovah?

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

Is the iniquity of Peor little to us, from which we have not been cleansed till this day -- and the plague is in the company of Jehovah,

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

that ye turn back to-day from after Jehovah? and it hath been -- ye rebel to-day against Jehovah -- and to-morrow against all the company of Israel He is wroth.

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

`And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for you unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah hath tabernacled, and have possession in our midst; and against Jehovah rebel not, and against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar, besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

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

`The God of gods -- Jehovah, the God of gods -- Jehovah, He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us this day!)

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

`we are' building for ourselves an altar to turn back from after Jehovah, and if to cause to go up on it burnt-offering and present, and if to make on it peace-offerings -- Jehovah Himself doth require `it'.

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

`And if not, from fear of `this' thing we have done it, saying, Hereafter your sons do speak to ours sons, saying, What to you and to Jehovah God of Israel?

וְלַֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

for a border hath Jehovah put between us and you, O sons of Reuben, and sons of Gad -- Jordan; ye have no portion in Jehovah -- and your sons have caused our sons to cease, not to fear Jehovah.

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

but a witness it `is' between us and you, and between our generations after us, to do the service of Jehovah before Him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, and your sons do not say hereafter to our sons, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.

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

`And we say, And it hath been, when they say `so' unto us, and unto our generations hereafter, that we have said, See the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made -- not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice -- but a witness it `is' between us and you.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

`Far be it from us to rebel against Jehovah, and to turn back to-day from after Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for present, and for sacrifice, apart from the altar of Jehovah our God, which `is' before His tabernacle.'

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

And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest saith unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the sons of Gad, and unto the sons of Manasseh, `To-day we have known that Jehovah `is' in our midst, because ye have not committed against Jehovah this trespass -- then ye have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.'

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

And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaim concerning the altar, that `it `is' a witness between us that Jehovah `is' God.'

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And it cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua is old, entering into days,

יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and ye -- ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God `is' He who is fighting for you;

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

`As to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath spoken to you,

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

but to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till this day.

בַּיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till this day;

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

one man of you doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God `is' He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you;

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
