21 Then the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the1 divisions of Israel:
22 “The Lord aGod of gods, the Lord God of gods, He bknows, and let Israel itself know—if it is in rebellion, or if in treachery against the Lord, do not save us this day.
23 If we have built ourselves an altar to turn from following the Lord, or if to offer on it burnt offerings or grain offerings, or if to offer peace offerings on it, let the Lord Himself arequire an account.
24 But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, “What have you to do with the Lord God of Israel?
25 For the Lord has made the Jordan a border between you and us, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no part in the Lord.” So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the Lord.’
