When Phineas the priest, and the princes of the tribes heard the explanation of the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh, they were satisfied. Phineas son of Eleazar the priest said to them, “Now we know that YAHWEH is among us! Since you have not rebelled against him, you have indeed saved the Israelites from YAHWEH’s punishment.” Then Phineas and the ten princes of the western tribes returned to the land of Canaan and told the people of Israel everything that happened. The outcome pleased the Israelites and they praised God. They spoke no more of going to war against the eastern tribes to destroy the land where they had lived. The Reubenites and the Gadites called the altar Witness, for they said, “The altar stands as a witness to us all that YAHWEH is God.”
