Josué 22:17

Listen to Josué 22:17
17 "¿No nos es suficiente la iniquidad de Peor, de la cual no nos hemos limpiado hasta hoy, a pesar de que vino una plaga sobre la congregación del SEÑOR,

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 Y vinieron a los hijos de Rubén, a los hijos de Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés, a la tierra de Galaad, y les hablaron, diciendo:
16 Así dice toda la congregación del SEÑOR: "¿Qué infidelidad es ésta que habéis cometido contra el Dios de Israel, apartándoos hoy de seguir al SEÑOR, edificándoos un altar, y rebelándoos hoy contra el SEÑOR?
17 "¿No nos es suficiente la iniquidad de Peor, de la cual no nos hemos limpiado hasta hoy, a pesar de que vino una plaga sobre la congregación del SEÑOR,
18 para que también vosotros os apartéis hoy de seguir al SEÑOR? Y sucederá que si hoy os rebeláis contra el SEÑOR, mañana El se enojará con toda la congregación de Israel.
19 "Mas si la tierra de vuestra posesión es inmunda, entonces pasad a la tierra de la posesión del SEÑOR, donde está el tabernáculo del SEÑOR, y tomad posesión entre nosotros. Pero no os rebeléis contra el SEÑOR, ni os rebeléis contra nosotros edificándoos un altar aparte del altar del SEÑOR nuestro Dios.
