Josué 22:17

Listen to Josué 22:17
17 Acaso nos é pouca a iniqüidade de Peor, de que ainda até o dia de hoje não nos temos purificado, apesar de ter vindo uma praga sobre a congregaçao do Senhor,

Josué 22:17 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 22:17

[Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us
The worshipping of that idol, when in the plains of Moab; the history of which, see in ( Numbers 25:2 Numbers 25:3 ) , was that so small a sin, that another must be added to it, or a greater committed? since building an altar seemed designed not for a single action of idolatrous worship, but for the continuance of it, whereas the sin of Peor was only committed at one time, and not continued in:

from which we are not cleansed until this day;
not cleared from the shame and disgrace of it, or the guilt of it expiated or removed; but it might be expected, as in the case of the golden calf, that God would still at times punish for it, when provoked by new crimes; or the sense is, that there were those among them that were infected with the same contagion, and whose inclinations were to commit the same, or like sin of idolatry:

although there was a plague in congregation of the Lord;
of which twenty four thousand died, ( Numbers 25:9 ) .

Josué 22:17 In-Context

15 Foram, pois, ter com os filhos de Rúben e os filhos de Gade e a meia tribo de Manassés, � terra de Gileade, e lhes disseram:
16 Assim diz toda a congregação do Senhor: Que transgressão é esta que cometestes contra o Deus de Israel, deixando hoje de seguir ao Senhor, edificando-vos um altar para vos rebelardes hoje contra o Senhor?
17 Acaso nos é pouca a iniqüidade de Peor, de que ainda até o dia de hoje não nos temos purificado, apesar de ter vindo uma praga sobre a congregaçao do Senhor,
18 para que hoje queirais abandonar ao Senhor? Será que, rebelando-vos hoje contra o Senhor, amanhã ele se irará contra toda a congregação de Israel.
19 Se é, porém, que a terra da vossa possessão é imunda, passai para a terra da possessão do Senhor, onde habita o tabernáculo do Senhor, e tomai possessão entre nós; mas não vos rebeleis contra o Senhor, nem tampouco vos rebeleis contra nós, edificando-vos um altar afora o altar do Senhor nosso Deus.
