Joshua 22:23-25
Lexham English Bible
23 for building for ourselves an altar to turn away from Yahweh, or if it was to offer burnt offerings,[a] grain offerings,[b] or fellowship offerings on it, may Yahweh himself take vengeance. 24 But in fact, we have done this because of anxiety, because of a reason, saying, ‘In the future your children may say to our children, ‘What is the relationship between you and Yahweh the God of Israel?[c] 25 Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, the descendants[d] of Reuben and Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh.’ So your children may put an end to our children worshiping[e] Yahweh.
