And Joshua [03091] adjured [07650] them at that time [06256], saying [0559], Cursed [0779] be the man [0376] before [06440] the Lord [03068], that riseth up [06965] and buildeth [01129] this city [05892] Jericho [03405]: he shall lay the foundation [03245] thereof in his firstborn [01060], and in his youngest [06810] son shall he set up [05324] the gates [01817] of it.
Then Joshua [03091] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Ebal [05858],
According to the word [06310] of the Lord [03068] they gave [05414] him the city [05892] which he asked [07592], even Timnath–serah [08556] in mount [02022] Ephraim [0669]: and he built [01129] the city [05892], and dwelt [03427] therein.
And when they came [0935] unto the borders [01552] of Jordan [03383], that are in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] built [01129] there an altar [04196] by Jordan [03383], a great [01419] altar [04196] to see to [04758].
And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] heard [08085] say [0559], Behold, the children [01121] of Reuben [07205] and the children [01121] of Gad [01410] and the half [02677] tribe [07626] of Manasseh [04519] have built [01129] an altar [04196] over against [04136] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], in the borders [01552] of Jordan [03383], at the passage [05676] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
Thus saith [0559] the whole congregation [05712] of the Lord [03068], What trespass [04604] is this that ye have committed [04603] against the God [0430] of Israel [03478], to turn away [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the Lord [03068], in that ye have builded [01129] you an altar [04196], that ye might rebel [04775] this day [03117] against the Lord [03068]?
Notwithstanding [0389], if the land [0776] of your possession [0272] be unclean [02931], then pass ye over [05674] unto the land [0776] of the possession [0272] of the Lord [03068], wherein the Lord's [03068] tabernacle [04908] dwelleth [07931], and take possession [0270] among [08432] us: but rebel [04775] not against the Lord [03068], nor [0408] rebel [04775] against us, in building [01129] you an altar [04196] beside [01107] the altar [04196] of the Lord [03068] our God [0430].
That we have built [01129] us an altar [04196] to turn [07725] from following [0310] the Lord [03068], or if to offer [05927] thereon burnt offering [05930] or meat offering [04503], or if to offer [06213] peace [08002] offerings [02077] thereon, let the Lord [03068] himself require [01245] it;
Therefore we said [0559], Let us now prepare [06213] to build [01129] us an altar [04196], not for burnt offering [05930], nor for sacrifice [02077]:
God forbid [02486] that we should rebel [04775] against the Lord [03068], and turn [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the Lord [03068], to build [01129] an altar [04196] for burnt offerings [05930], for meat offerings [04503], or for sacrifices [02077], beside the altar [04196] of the Lord [03068] our God [0430] that is before [06440] his tabernacle [04908].
And I have given [05414] you a land [0776] for which ye did not labour [03021], and cities [05892] which ye built [01129] not, and ye dwell [03427] in them; of the vineyards [03754] and oliveyards [02132] which ye planted [05193] not do ye eat [0398].
