17 Is the iniquity (A)of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord, 18 but that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? And it shall be, if you rebel today against the Lord, that tomorrow (B)He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 [a]Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, (C)where the Lord’s tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the Lord our God.

  1. Joshua 22:19 However

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.
