Joshua 22:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ The Lord has made the Jordan River a dividing line between us and you, the descendants of Reuben and Gad. You have no connection with the Lord!’ So your descendants would stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord. ²⁶ Then we said, ‘Let’s build an altar for ourselves. It will not be for burnt offerings or sacrifices, ²⁷ but it will stand as a witness between us for generations to come. It will stand as a witness that we may worship in the presence of the Lord with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings.’ Then your descendants cannot say to our descendants, ‘You have no connection with the Lord!’
