And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
And now that the LORD your God has given your brothers rest as He promised them, you may return to your homes in the land that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you across the Jordan.
But take
diligent heed to do the commandment
and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God,
and to walk in all his ways,
and to keep his commandments,
and to
cleave unto him,
and to serve him with all your heart
and with all your soul.
But be very careful to observe the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

and the half-tribe of
Manasseh in the land of
Gilead and said to them,
Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What
trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might
rebel this day against the LORD?
“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed
today against the God of Israel by turning away from the LORD
and building for
yourselves an altar, that you might
rebel against the LORD this day?
But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD?
and it will be, seeing ye
rebel to day against the LORD, that to
morrow he will be
wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
And now, would you turn away from the LORD? If you
rebel today against the LORD,
tomorrow He will be
angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’S tabernacle dwelleth,
and take possession among us: but
rebel not against the LORD, nor
rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands,
and take possession of it among us. But do not
rebel against the LORD or against us by building for
yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.
Did not
Achan the son of Zerah commit a
trespass in the
accursed thing,
and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel?
and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
Was not
Achan son of Zerah unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel? Yet it was not only
Achan who perished because of his sin!’”
Then the children of
Reuben and the children of
Gad and the half tribe of
Manasseh answered,
and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Then the Reubenites, the Gadites,
and the half-tribe of
Manasseh answered the leaders of the clans of Israel:
The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth,
and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in
transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
“The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! The LORD, the Mighty One, is God! He knows,
and may Israel also know. If this was in rebellion or breach of faith against the LORD, do not
spare us
today.
That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer
thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings
thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away from Him
and to offer burnt offerings
and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice
fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.
