Joshua 22:10-16
Joshua 22:10-16 TPT
On their way home, the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh came to the town of Geliloth near the Jordan River. So they built their own large, impressive altar there. When the rest of the Israelites heard that the people of the tribe of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh had built an altar at Geliloth at the entrance to the land of Canaan, they gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them. The Israelites of the ten western tribes sent a delegation to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh in the land of Gilead. They sent Phineas son of Eleazar the priest, together with ten respected clan leaders, princes from each of their ten tribes. So they came to the people in the land of Gilead, to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh. Phineas and the men with him said, “We speak to you on behalf of all YAHWEH’s people. Why did you rebel against YAHWEH and build this altar for yourselves? Why did you quit following the God of Israel and do such an evil thing?
