Joshua 22:17-19
Common English Bible
17 Wasn’t the offense of Peor enough for us? Even today we still haven’t cleansed ourselves from that sin, when there was a plague on the Lord’s community! 18 Today you are turning away from following the Lord. If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with the entire community of Israel tomorrow. 19 If your own property is unclean land, then cross over into the land of the Lord’s property and settle among us. That’s where the dwelling of the Lord stands. But don’t rebel against the Lord. And don’t involve us in rebellion[a] by building an altar for yourselves other than the altar of the Lord our God.

Joshua 22:17-19
New International Version
17 Was not the sin of Peor(A) enough for us? Up to this very day we have not cleansed ourselves from that sin, even though a plague fell on the community of the Lord! 18 And are you now turning away from the Lord?
“‘If you rebel against the Lord today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole community(B) of Israel. 19 If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord’s land, where the Lord’s tabernacle(C) stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar(D) for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our God.
