Joshua 22:16
Compare all
14 and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the chief house of every tribe of Israel; and aeach one was the head of the house of his father among the1 divisions of Israel.  
15 Then they came to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
16 “Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord: ‘What atreachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, bthat you might rebel this day against the Lord?  
17 Is the iniquity aof Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,  
18 but that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the Lord, that tomorrow aHe will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

Joshua 22:16

The congregation - Who do and are resolved to cleave unto that God from whom you have revolted. What trespass - How heinous a crime is this! This day - That is, so soon after God hath obliged you by such wonderful favours, and when God is now conducting you home to reap the fruits of all your pains and hazards. Rebel - With a design to rebel against God, and against his express command of worshipping him at one only altar.
