  • Josh 22:11-34 : 11 And the children of Israel heard it said, Behold, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar across from the land of Canaan, in the borders of the Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel. 12 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh to go up to war against them. 13 And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, 14 And with him ten leaders, one chief leader from each house throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel. 15 And they came to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying, 16 Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD: What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD? 17 Is the sin of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed until 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 will be, seeing you rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 If the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the LORD, where the LORD’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, by building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God. 20 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. 21 Then the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel, 22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, He knows, and Israel shall know; if it is in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (do not save us this day) 23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer on it burnt offering or grain offering, or if to offer peace offerings on it, let the LORD Himself require it; 24 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel? 25 For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no part in the LORD. So your children might make our children cease from fearing the LORD. 26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, 27 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the LORD. 28 Therefore we said that it shall be, when they should say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices, but it is a witness between us and you. 29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before His tabernacle. 30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the leaders of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them. 31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this trespass against the LORD; now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD. 32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, returned from the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. 33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt. 34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
  • Judg 20:1-9 : 1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation gathered together as one, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh. 2 And the leaders of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. 3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpeh.) Then the children of Israel said, Tell us, how did this wickedness occur? 4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night, and thought to have killed me; and my concubine they forced, that she is dead. 6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. 7 Behold, you are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel. 8 And all the people arose as one, saying, None of us will go to his tent, nor will any of us turn into his house. 9 But now this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up by lot against it; 10 And we will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly they have committed in Israel. 11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one. 12 And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you? 13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the worthless fellows, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and remove evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not listen to their brothers, the children of Israel. 14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred chosen men. 16 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair's breadth, and not miss. 17 And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men who drew sword; all these were men of war.
