约书亚记 22:10-20
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
二支派半人筑坛于约旦河滨
10 鲁本人、迦得人和玛拿西半支派的人到了靠近约旦河的一带迦南地，就在约旦河那里筑了一座坛，那坛看着高大。 11 以色列人听说鲁本人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人靠近约旦河边，在迦南地属以色列人的那边筑了一座坛。 12 全会众一听见，就聚集在示罗，要上去攻打他们。
以色列人生疑忌
13 以色列人打发祭司以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，往基列地去见鲁本人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人， 14 又打发十个首领与非尼哈同去，就是以色列每支派的一个首领，都是以色列军中的统领。 15 他们到了基列地，见鲁本人、迦得人和玛拿西半支派的人，对他们说： 16 “耶和华全会众这样说：你们今日转去不跟从耶和华，干犯以色列的神，为自己筑一座坛，悖逆了耶和华，这犯的是什么罪呢？ 17 从前拜毗珥的罪孽还算小吗？虽然瘟疫临到耶和华的会众，到今日我们还没有洗净这罪。 18 你们今日竟转去不跟从耶和华吗？你们今日既悖逆耶和华，明日他必向以色列全会众发怒。 19 你们所得为业之地，若嫌不洁净，就可以过到耶和华之地，就是耶和华的帐幕所住之地，在我们中间得地业。只是不可悖逆耶和华，也不可得罪我们，在耶和华我们神的坛以外为自己筑坛。 20 从前谢拉的曾孙亚干，岂不是在那当灭的物上犯了罪，就有愤怒临到以色列全会众吗？那人在所犯的罪中不独一人死亡。”

Joshua 22:10-20
King James Version
10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
12 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the Lord?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,
18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the Lord? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the Lord, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the Lord, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
