Joshua 22:27-29

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ instead, it is a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us for performing the serving of Yahweh in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings; so that your children may not say in the future to our children, “You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ ²⁸ And we thought, if they say to us and to our children in the future, we can say, ‘Look at this replica of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors^[a] made, not for burnt offerings^[b] or sacrifices;^[c] rather, it is a witness between us and you.’ ²⁹ Far be it from us to rebel against Yahweh, to turn today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offerings,^[d] grain offerings,^[e] or sacrifices,^[f] instead of the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle.”
