Joshua 22:25-27

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁵ The Lord placed a border between us and you people of Reuben and Gad, namely, the Jordan. You have no portion in the Lord.” Then your children would stop our children from fearing the Lord.

²⁶ So we said, “Come on now, let us build an altar—but not for burnt offerings and not for sacrifice.” ²⁷ Rather, it is to be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us concerning our right to perform the worship of the Lord before him by our burnt offerings, by our sacrifices, and by our fellowship offerings, so that your children cannot say in the future to our children, “You have no share in the Lord.”
