And said to 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 to 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 to your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and go to your tents, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of Jordan.

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

But take diligent heed to perform 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 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 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 country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, of which 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 built 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”

Not withstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass ye over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which 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 besides 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 is 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 on it burnt-offering, or meat-offering, or if to offer peace-offerings on it, 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 may speak to 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 boundary 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 may 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 shall so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, 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”

Far be it from us 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, besides 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 to 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 to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old and advanced in age.

יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to 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 your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised to you.

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

But cleave to the LORD your God, as ye have done to 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 to 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 to yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
