And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

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

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 cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

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

And 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 unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

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 are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

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

Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

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

The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

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

That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

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

And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

וְלַֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

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

But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

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

Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

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

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

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

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

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

And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

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

But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

בַּיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
