Joshua 22:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ The Lord made the Jordan River a border between us and you people of Reuben and Gad. You ·cannot worship [^Lhave no share/portion in] the Lord.’ So we feared that your children might make our ·children [descendants] stop ·worshiping [^Lfearing] the Lord.

²⁶ “That is why we decided to build this altar. But it is not for burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17] and sacrifices. ²⁷ This altar is ·proof to [witness between] you and us and to all our ·children [generations] who will come after us that we ·worship the Lord [^Ldo the service of the Lord before him] with our whole burnt offerings, grain, and ·fellowship [or peace] offerings. This was so your ·children [descendants] would not say to our ·children [descendants], ‘You ·are not the Lord’s [^Lhave no share/portion in the Lord].’
