Joshua 22:12

An Altar by the Jordan

10 And when they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan—a great, impressive altar.

11 Now the children of Israel ^aheard someone say, “Behold, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the¹ frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan—on the children of Israel’s side.”

12 And when the children of Israel heard of it, ^athe whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go to war against them.

13 Then the children of Israel ^asent ^bPhinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,

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?
