Joshua 22

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 eodem tempore vocavit Iosue Rubenitas et Gadditas et dimidiam tribum Manasse

2 dixitque ad eos fecistis omnia quae vobis praecepit Moses famulus Domini mihi quoque in omnibus oboedistis

3 nec reliquistis fratres vestros longo tempore usque in praesentem diem custodientes imperium Domini Dei vestri

4 quia igitur dedit Dominus Deus vester fratribus vestris quietem ac pacem sicut pollicitus est revertimini et ite in tabernacula vestra et in terram possessionis quam tradidit vobis Moses famulus Domini trans Iordanem

5 ita dumtaxat ut custodiatis adtente et opere conpleatis mandatum et legem quam praecepit vobis Moses servus Domini ut diligatis Dominum Deum vestrum et ambuletis in omnibus viis eius et observetis mandata illius adhereatisque ei ac serviatis in omni corde et in omni anima vestra

6 benedixitque eis Iosue et dimisit eos qui reversi sunt in tabernacula sua

7 tribui autem Manasse mediae possessionem Moses dederat in Basan et idcirco mediae quae superfuit dedit Iosue sortem inter ceteros fratres suos trans Iordanem ad occidentalem eius plagam cumque dimitteret eos in tabernacula sua et benedixisset illis

8 dixit ad eos in multa substantia atque divitiis revertimini ad sedes vestras cum argento et auro aere ac ferro et veste multiplici dividite praedam hostium cum fratribus vestris

9 reversique sunt et abierunt filii Ruben et filii Gad et dimidia tribus Manasse a filiis Israhel de Silo quae sita est in Chanaan ut intrarent Galaad terram possessionis suae quam obtinuerant iuxta imperium Domini in manu Mosi

10 cumque venissent ad tumulos Iordanis in terra Chanaan aedificaverunt iuxta Iordanem altare infinitae magnitudinis

11 quod cum audissent filii Israhel et ad eos certi nuntii detulissent aedificasse filios Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse altare in terra Chanaan super Iordanis tumulos contra filios Israhel

12 convenerunt omnes in Silo ut ascenderent et dimicarent contra eos

13 et interim miserunt ad illos in terram Galaad Finees filium Eleazar sacerdotem

14 et decem principes cum eo singulos de tribubus singulis

15 qui venerunt ad filios Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse in terram Galaad dixeruntque ad eos

16 haec mandat omnis populus Domini quae est ista transgressio cur reliquistis Dominum Deum Israhel aedificantes altare sacrilegum et a cultu illius recedentes

17 an parum vobis est quod peccastis in Beelphegor et usque in praesentem diem macula huius sceleris in nobis permanet multique de populo corruerunt

18 et vos hodie reliquistis Dominum et cras in universum Israhel eius ira desaeviet

19 quod si putatis inmundam esse terram possessionis vestrae transite ad terram in qua tabernaculum Domini est et habitate inter nos tantum ut a Domino et a nostro consortio non recedatis aedificato altari praeter altare Domini Dei vestri

20 nonne Achan filius Zare praeteriit mandatum Domini et super omnem populum Israhel ira eius incubuit et ille erat unus homo atque utinam solus perisset in scelere suo

21 responderuntque filii Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse principibus legationis Israhel

22 fortissimus Deus Dominus fortissimus Deus Dominus ipse novit et Israhel simul intelleget si praevaricationis animo hoc altare construximus non custodiat nos sed puniat in praesenti

23 et si ea mente fecimus ut holocausta et sacrificium et pacificas victimas super eo inponeremus ipse quaerat et iudicet

24 et non ea magis cogitatione atque tractatu ut diceremus cras dicent filii vestri filiis nostris quid vobis et Domino Deo Israhel

25 terminum posuit Dominus inter nos et vos o filii Ruben et filii Gad Iordanem fluvium et idcirco partem non habetis in Domino et per hanc occasionem avertent filii vestri filios nostros a timore Domini putavimus itaque melius

26 et diximus extruamus nobis altare non in holocausta neque ad victimas offerendas

27 sed in testimonium inter nos et vos et subolem nostram vestramque progeniem ut serviamus Domino et iuris nostri sit offerre holocausta et victimas et pacificas hostias et nequaquam dicant cras filii vestri filiis nostris non est vobis pars in Domino

28 quod si voluerint dicere respondebunt eis ecce altare Domini quod fecerunt patres nostri non in holocausta neque in sacrificium sed in testimonium vestrum ac nostrum

29 absit a nobis hoc scelus ut recedamus a Domino et eius vestigia relinquamus extructo altari ad holocausta et sacrificia et victimas offerendas praeter altare Domini Dei nostri quod extructum est ante tabernaculum eius

30 quibus auditis Finees sacerdos et principes legationis Israhel qui erant cum eo placati sunt et verba filiorum Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse libentissime susceperunt

31 dixitque Finees filius Eleazari sacerdos ad eos nunc scimus quod nobiscum sit Dominus quoniam alieni estis a praevaricatione hac et liberastis filios Israhel de manu Domini

32 reversusque est cum principibus a filiis Ruben et Gad de terra Galaad finium Chanaan ad filios Israhel et rettulit eis

33 placuitque sermo cunctis audientibus et laudaverunt Deum filii Israhel et nequaquam ultra dixerunt ut ascenderent contra eos atque pugnarent et delerent terram possessionis eorum

34 vocaveruntque filii Ruben et filii Gad altare quod extruxerant Testimonium nostrum quod Dominus ipse sit Deus

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manas'seh,

2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you;

3 you have not forsaken your brethren these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the LORD your God.

4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as he promised them; therefore turn and go to your home in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

5 Take good care to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."

6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their homes.

7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manas'seh Moses had given a possession in Bashan; but to the other half Joshua had given a possession beside their brethren in the land west of the Jordan. And when Joshua sent them away to their homes and blessed them,

8 he said to them, "Go back to your homes with much wealth, and with very many cattle, with silver, gold, bronze, and iron, and with much clothing; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."

9 So the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the LORD through Moses.

10 And when they came to the region about the Jordan, that lies in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of great size.

11 And the people of Israel heard say, "Behold, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh have built an altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel."

12 And when the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered at Shiloh, to make war against them.

13 Then the people of Israel sent to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh, in the land of Gilead, Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest,

14 and with him ten chiefs, one from each of the tribal families of Israel, every one of them the head of a family among the clans of Israel.

15 And they came to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manas'seh, in the land of Gilead, and they said to them,

16 "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, 'What is this treachery which you have committed against the God of Israel in turning away this day from following the LORD, by building yourselves an altar this day in rebellion against the LORD?

17 Have we not had enough of the sin at Pe'or from which even yet we have not cleansed ourselves, and for which there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD,

18 that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And if you rebel against the LORD today he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.

19 But now, if your land is unclean, pass over into the LORD's land where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take for yourselves a possession among us; only do not rebel against the LORD, or make us as rebels by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.

20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.'"

21 Then the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manas'seh said in answer to the heads of the families of Israel,

22 "The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows; and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith toward the LORD, spare us not today

23 for building an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings on it, may the LORD himself take vengeance.

24 Nay, but we did it from fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, 'What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

25 For the LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you Reubenites and Gadites; you have no portion in the LORD.' So your children might make our children cease to worship the LORD.

26 Therefore we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

27 but to be a witness between us and you, and between the generations after us, that we do perform the service of the LORD in his presence with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and peace offerings; lest your children say to our children in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'

28 And we thought, If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we should say, 'Behold the copy of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be a witness between us and you.'

29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD by building an altar for burnt offering, cereal offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before his tabernacle!"

30 When Phin'ehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation, the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites spoke, it pleased them well.

31 And Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest said to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD; now you have saved the people of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

32 Then Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest, and the chiefs, returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.

33 And the report pleased the people of Israel; and the people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more of making war against them, to destroy the land where the Reubenites and the Gadites were settled.

34 The Reubenites and the Gadites called the altar Witness; "For," said they, "it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."
