|
|
2. and said to them, You have done all that which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you. And you have listened to my voice, to all that I have commanded you.
|
2. And said H559 unto H413 them, Ye H859 have kept H8104 H853 all H3605 that H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 you , and have obeyed H8085 my voice H6963 in all H3605 that H834 I commanded H6680 you:
|
|
3. You have not left your brothers these many days until today, and have kept the observance of the command of Jehovah your God.
|
3. Ye have not H3808 left H5800 H853 your brethren H251 these H2088 many H7227 days H3117 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , but have kept H8104 H853 the charge H4931 of the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
|
|
4. And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them. And now you turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan.
|
4. And now H6258 the LORD H3068 your God H430 hath given rest H5117 unto your brethren H251 , as H834 he promised H1696 them : therefore now H6258 return H6437 ye , and get H1980 you unto your tents H168 , and unto H413 the land H776 of your possession H272 , which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 gave H5414 you on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 .
|
|
5. Only, be very much on guard to do the commands and the Law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah 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.
|
5. But H7535 take diligent H3966 heed H8104 to do H6213 H853 the commandment H4687 and the law H8451 , which H834 Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 charged H6680 you , to love H157 H853 the LORD H3068 your God H430 , and to walk H1980 in all H3605 his ways H1870 , and to keep H8104 his commandments H4687 , and to cleave H1692 unto him , and to serve H5647 him with all H3605 your heart H3824 and with all H3605 your soul H5315 .

6. And Joshua blessed them and sent them away. And they went to their tents.
|
6. So Joshua H3091 blessed H1288 them , and sent them away H7971 : and they went H1980 unto H413 their tents H168 .
|
|
7. And to the half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given possession in Bashan. And to its other half Joshua had given possession with their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. And also when Joshua had sent them away to their tents, then he blessed them.
|
7. Now to the one half H2677 of the tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 Moses H4872 had given H5414 possession in Bashan H1316 : but unto the other half H2677 thereof gave H5414 Joshua H3091 among H5973 their brethren H251 on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 westward H3220 . And when H3588 Joshua H3091 sent them away H7971 also H1571 unto H413 their tents H168 , then he blessed H1288 them,
|
|
8. And he spoke to them, saying, You are returning to your tents with great treasures, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.
|
8. And he spoke H559 unto H413 them, saying H559 , Return H7725 with much H7227 riches H5233 unto H413 your tents H168 , and with very H3966 much H7227 cattle H4735 , with silver H3701 , and with gold H2091 , and with brass H5178 , and with iron H1270 , and with very H3966 much H7235 raiment H8008 : divide H2505 the spoil H7998 of your enemies H341 with H5973 your brethren H251 .
|
|
9. And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh turned and left the sons of Israel from Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession in which they have possession, according to the command of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.
|
9. And the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 returned H7725 , and departed H1980 from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of Shiloh H4480 H7887 , which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , to go H1980 unto H413 the country H776 of Gilead H1568 , to H413 the land H776 of their possession H272 , whereof H834 they were possessed H270 , according H5921 to the word H6310 of the LORD H3068 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
10. And when they came to the regions of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, then the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.
|
10. And when they came H935 unto H413 the borders H1552 of Jordan H3383 , that H834 are in the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 built H1129 there H8033 an altar H4196 by H5921 Jordan H3383 , a great H1419 altar H4196 to see H4758 to.
|
|
11. And the sons of Israel heard it said, Behold, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar across from the land of Canaan, in the regions of the Jordan, at the border of the sons of Israel.
|
11. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 say H559 , Behold H2009 , the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 have built H1129 H853 an altar H4196 over against H413 H4136 the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , in H413 the borders H1552 of Jordan H3383 , at H413 the passage H1552 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
12. And the sons of Israel heard, and all the company of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh to go up against them to war.
|
12. And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 of it , the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together H6950 at Shiloh H7887 , to go H5927 up to war H6635 against H5921 them.
|
|
13. And the sons of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,
|
13. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 sent H7971 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad H1410 , and to H413 the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 , into H413 the land H776 of Gilead H1568 , H853 Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 ,
|
|
14. and ten rulers with him, one ruler each for the house of a father, for all the tribes of Israel, and each of them a head of the house of their fathers, for the thousands of Israel.
|
14. And with H5973 him ten H6235 princes H5387 , of each chief H5387 H259 H5387 H259 house H1004 a prince H1 throughout all H3605 the tribes H4294 of Israel H3478 ; and each one H376 was a head H7218 of the house H1004 of their fathers H1 among the thousands H505 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
15. And they came to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying,
|
15. And they came H935 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad H1410 , and to H413 the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 , unto H413 the land H776 of Gilead H1568 , and they spoke H1696 with H854 them, saying H559 ,
|
|
16. So says all the company of Jehovah, What is this treachery with which the God of Israel was betrayed, to turn back today from after Jehovah, in that you built for yourself an altar so that you might rebel today against Jehovah?
|
16. Thus H3541 saith H559 the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of the LORD H3068 , What H4100 trespass H4604 is this H2088 that H834 ye have committed H4603 against the God H430 of Israel H3478 , to turn away H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 , in that ye have built H1129 you an altar H4196 , that ye might rebel H4775 this day H3117 against the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
17. Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not been cleansed until this day? Yea, a plague came on the company of Jehovah;
|
17. Is H853 the iniquity H5771 of Peor H6465 too little H4592 for us, from H4480 which H834 we are not H3808 cleansed H2891 until H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , although there was H1961 a plague H5063 in the congregation H5712 of the LORD H3068 ,
|
|
18. that you turn away today from following after Jehovah? And it shall be that today you rebel against Jehovah, and tomorrow He shall be angry with all the company of Israel.
|
18. But that ye H859 must turn away H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 ? and it will be H1961 , seeing ye H859 rebel H4775 today H3117 against the LORD H3068 , that tomorrow H4279 he will be wroth H7107 with H413 the whole H3605 congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
19. And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, you may cross over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, there where the tabernacle of Jehovah dwells, and have possession among us. But do not rebel against Jehovah, and do not rebel against us, by building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
|
19. Notwithstanding H389 , if H518 the land H776 of your possession H272 be unclean H2931 , then pass ye over H5674 unto H413 the land H776 of the possession H272 of the LORD H3068 , wherein H834 the LORD H3068 's tabernacle H4908 dwelleth H7931 H8033 , and take possession H270 among H8432 us : but rebel H4775 not H408 against the LORD H3068 , nor H408 rebel H4775 against us , in building H1129 you an altar H4196 beside H4480 H1107 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
20. Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a sin in the cursed thing, and was there not wrath on all the company of Israel? And he was not the only one to die in his iniquity.
|
20. Did not H3808 Achan H5912 the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 commit H4603 a trespass H4604 in the accursed thing H2764 , and wrath H7110 fell H1961 on H5921 all H3605 the congregation H5712 of Israel H3478 ? and that H1931 man H376 perished H1478 not H3808 alone H259 in his iniquity H5771 .
|
|
21. And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and spoke with the heads of the thousands of Israel,
|
21. Then the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 answered H6030 , and said H1696 unto H853 the heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel H3478 ,
|
|
22. Jehovah is the God of gods; Jehovah is the God of gods! He knows, and Israel shall know, if it is in rebellion, and if it is in treachery against Jehovah, you shall not save us alive today.
|
22. The LORD H3068 God H410 of gods H430 , the LORD H3068 God H410 of gods H430 , he H1931 knoweth H3045 , and Israel H3478 he H1931 shall know H3045 ; if H518 it be in rebellion H4777 , or if H518 in transgression H4604 against the LORD H3068 , ( save H3467 us not H408 this H2088 day H3117 ,)
|
|
23. If we built an altar for ourselves to turn away from following after Jehovah, or to sacrifice on it burnt offering and food offering, or to offer on it sacrifices of peace, may Jehovah Himself require it.
|
23. That we have built H1129 us an altar H4196 to turn H7725 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 , or if H518 to offer H5927 thereon H5921 burnt offering H5930 or meat offering H4503 , or if H518 to offer H6213 peace H8002 offerings H2077 thereon H5921 , let the LORD H3068 himself H1931 require H1245 it ;
|
|
24. But surely from anxiety, for a reason, we have done this, saying, In the future your sons shall speak to our sons, saying, What is to you and to Jehovah the God of Israel?
|
24. And if H518 we have not H3808 rather done H6213 H853 it H2063 for fear H4480 H1674 of this thing H4480 H1697 , saying H559 , In time to come H4279 your children H1121 might speak H559 unto our children H1121 , saying H559 , What H4100 have ye to do with the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 ?
|
|
25. For Jehovah has put a border between you and us, O sons of Reuben, and sons of Gad; it is the Jordan. You have no portion in Jehovah! And your sons will cause our sons to fail, not fearing Jehovah.
|
25. For the LORD H3068 hath made H5414 H853 Jordan H3383 a border H1366 between H996 us and you , ye children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and children H1121 of Gad H1410 ; ye have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD H3068 : so shall your children H1121 make H853 our children H1121 cease H7673 from fearing H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
26. And we said, Let us now prepare for ourselves, to build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice,
|
26. Therefore we said H559 , Let us now H4994 prepare H6213 to build H1129 us H853 an altar H4196 , not H3808 for burnt H5930 offering, nor H3808 for sacrifice H2077 :
|
|
27. but it shall be a witness 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; that your sons may not say to our sons in the future, You have no portion in Jehovah.
|
27. But H3588 that it H1931 may be a witness H5707 between H996 us , and you , and our generations H1755 after H310 us , that we might do H5647 H853 the service H5656 of the LORD H3068 before H6440 him with our burnt offerings H5930 , and with our sacrifices H2077 , and with our peace offerings H8002 ; that your children H1121 may not H3808 say H559 to our children H1121 in time to come H4279 , Ye have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD H3068 .
|
|
28. And we said, And it shall be, when they say this to us, and to our generations hereafter, that we shall say, See the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice, but it is a witness between us and you.
|
28. Therefore said H559 we , that it shall be H1961 , when H3588 they should so say H559 to H413 us or to H413 our generations H1755 in time to come H4279 , that we may say H559 again , Behold H7200 H853 the pattern H8403 of the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 our fathers H1 made H6213 , not H3808 for burnt offerings H5930 , nor H3808 for sacrifices H2077 ; but H3588 it H1931 is a witness H5707 between H996 us and you.
|
|
29. Far be it from us to rebel against Jehovah, and to turn away today from following after Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt offering, for food offering, and for sacrifice, apart from the altar of Jehovah our God, which is before His tabernacle!
|
29. God forbid H2486 that we H4480 should rebel H4775 against the LORD H3068 , and turn H7725 this day H3117 from following H4480 H310 the LORD H3068 , to build H1129 an altar H4196 for burnt offerings H5930 , for meat offerings H4503 , or for sacrifices H2077 , beside H4480 H905 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 that H834 is before H6440 his tabernacle H4908 .
|
|
30. And Phinehas the priest, and the rulers of the congregation and the heads of the thousands of Israel with him heard the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh had spoken. And it was good in their eyes.
|
30. And when Phinehas H6372 the priest H3548 , and the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 and heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel H3478 which H834 were with H854 him, heard H8085 H853 the words H1697 that H834 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 spoke H1696 , it pleased H3190 H5869 them.
|
|
31. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Manasseh, Today we have known that Jehovah is among us, because you have not betrayed this treachery against Jehovah. Now you have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.
|
31. And Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 said H559 unto H413 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and to H413 the children H1121 of Gad H1410 , and to H413 the children H1121 of Manasseh H4519 , This day H3117 we perceive H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 is among H8432 us, because H834 ye have not H3808 committed H4603 this H2088 trespass H4604 against the LORD H3068 : now H227 ye have delivered H5337 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
32. And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad out of the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and brought word back to them.
|
32. And Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 , and the princes H5387 , returned H7725 from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 , and from H4480 H854 the children H1121 of Gad H1410 , out of the land H4480 H776 of Gilead H1568 , unto H413 the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , to H413 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and brought them word again H7725 H853 H1697 .
|
|
33. And the thing was good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God and none said to go up against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living in.
|
33. And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 ; and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 blessed H1288 God H430 , and did not H3808 intend H559 to go up H5927 against H5921 them in battle H6635 , to destroy H7843 H853 the land H776 wherein H834 the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and Gad H1410 dwelt H3427 .
|
|
34. And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad proclaimed regarding the altar, that it was a witness between us that Jehovah is God.
|
34. And the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 called H7121 the altar H4196 Ed : for H3588 it H1931 shall be a witness H5707 between H996 us that H3588 the LORD H3068 is God H430 .
