Τότε συνεκάλεσεν Ἰησοῦς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ῥουβὴν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Γὰδ
καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσή,

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὑμεῖς ἀκηκόατε
πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν Μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς κυρίου, καὶ ἐπηκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν.

οὐκ ἐνκαταλελοίπατε
τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν ταύτας τὰς ἡμέρας πλείους· ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας ἐφυλάξασθε τὴν ἐντολὴν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν.

νῦν δὲ
κατέπαυσεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν, ὃν τρόπον . αὐτοῖς. νῦν οὖν ἀποστραφέντες ἀπέλθατε εἰς τοὺς οἴκους καὶ εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς κατασχέσεως ὑμῶν, ἢν ἔδωκεν ὑμὶν Μωυσῆς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

ἀλλὰ φυλάξασθε ποιεῖν
σφόδρα τὰς ἐντολὰς καὶ τὸν νόμον ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν ποιεῖν Μωυσῆς ὁ παῖς Τυρίου, ἀγαπᾷν Κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν, πορεύεσθαι πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ, φυλάξασθαι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκεῖσθαι αὐτῷ, καὶ λατρεύειν αὐτῷ ἐξ ὃλης τῆς διανοίας ὑμῶν κα ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὑμῶν.

καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν
αὐτούς. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν.

Καὶ τῷ
ἡμίσει φυλῆς Μανασσὴ ἔδωκεν Μωυσῆς ἐν τῇ Βασαείτιδι, καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει ἔδωκεν Ἰησοῦς μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου παρὰ θάλασσαν. καὶ ἡνίκα ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Ἰησους εἰς τοὺς οἴκους οὕτων καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς,

καὶ ἐν χρήμασιν πολλοῖς
εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν. καὶ κτήνη πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ ¹² ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σίδηρον καὶ ἱματισμὸν πολὺν καὶ δίει- ³
λαντο, τὴν προνομὴν τῶν ἐχθρῶν, μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν.

Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσὴ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σηλὼ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Γαλαὰδ εἰς γῆν κατασχέσεως αὐτῶν, ἣν ἐκληρονόμησαν
αὐτὴν διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ.

καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Γάλγαλα τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῆ Χανάαν· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσὴ ἐκεῖ βωμὸν
ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, βωμὸν μέγαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ἰδεῖν.

καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ λεγόντων ἰδοὺ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσὴ βωμὸν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων γῆς Χανάαν ἐπὶ
τοῦ Γαλαὰδ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐν τῷ πέραν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ.

καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Σηλὼ ὥστε ἀναβάντες ἐκπολεμήσαι
αὐτούς.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ῥουβὴν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Γὰδ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσὴ εἰς γῆν Γαλαὰδ τόν τε Φεινεὲς υἱὸν Ἐλεαζὰρ υἱοῦ ’
τοῦ ἀρχιερέως

καὶ δέκα τῶν ἀρχόντων μετ’ αὐτοῦ· οἴκου πατριᾶς ἀπὸ πασῶν φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ· ἄρχοντες οἴκων εἶς ἀπὸ
εἰσιν, χιλίαρχοι Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς τοὺς υἰοὺς Γὰδ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ῥουβὴν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἡμίσεις φυλῆς Μανασσὴ
εἰς τὴν Γαλαάδ, καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες

Τάδε λέγει πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ Κυρίου τίς ἡ πλημμελία αὕτη ἢν ἐπλημμελήσατε ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ἀποστραφῆναι σήμερον ἀπὸ Κυρίου ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς βωμόν, ἀποστάτας ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ
κυρίου;

μὴ μικρὸν ἡμῖν τὸ ἁμάρτημα Φογώρ ; ὅτι οὐκ ἐκαθαρίσθημεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, καὶ ἐγενήθη πληγὴ ἐν τῇ
συναγωγῇ κυρίου.

καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀπεστράφητε σήμερον ἀπὸ Κυρίου· καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀποστῆτε σήμερον ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ αὔριον ἐπὶ
Ἰσραὴν ἔσται ἡ ὀργή.

καὶ νῦν εἰ μικρὰ ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν τῆς κατασχέσεως ⁴⁶ ὑμῶν, διάβητε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς κατασχέσεως κυρίου οὗ κατασκηνοῖ ἐκεῖ ἡ σκηνὴ κυρίου, καὶ κατακληρονομήσετε ἐν ἡμῖν· κα μὴ ἀποστάται ἀπὸ θεοῦ γενήθητε, καὶ μὴ ἀπόστητε ἀπὸ Κύρου διὰ τὸ οἰκοδομῆσαι ὑμᾶς βωμὸν ἔξω τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

οὐκ ἰδοὺ Ἀχἀρ ὁ τοῦ Σάρα πλημμελίᾳ ἐπλημμέλησεν ἀπὸ τοῦ
ἀναθέματος, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν Ἰσραὴλ ἐγενήθη ὀργή ; κα οὗτος εἷς μόνος αὐτὸς ἀπέθανεν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ.

Καὶ
ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴμ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσή, καὶ ἐλάλησαν τοῖς χιλιάρχοις Ἱσραὴλ λέγοντες

῾Ο θεὸς
θεός ἐστιν κύριος, καὶ ὁ θεὸς θεὸς αὐτὸς οἶδεν, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ αὐτὸς γνώσεται. εἰ ἐν ἀπ’ ὅστ’ ἀσίᾳ ἐπλημμελήσαμεν ἔναντι τοῦ κυρίου, μὴ ῥύσαιτο ἡμᾶς ἐν ταύτῃ·

καὶ εἰ ᾠκοδομήσαμεν αὑτοῖς βωμὸν ὥστε
ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ὥστε ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπ’ αὐτὸν θυσίαν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων ὥστε ποιῆσαι ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ θυσίαν σωτηρίου, κύριος ἐκζητήσει.

ἀλλ᾿ ἕνεκεν εὐλαβείας ῥήματος ἐποιήσαμεν
τοῦτο λέγοντες Ἵνα μὴ εἴπωσιν αὔριον τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν τοῖς ἡμῶν Τί ὑμῖν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ Ἱσραήλ ;

καὶ ὅρια ἔθηκεν κύριος
ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν μερὶς Κυρίου. καὶ ἀπαλλοτριώσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν τοὺς υἱοὺς ἡμῶν, ἵνα μὴ σέβωνται κύριον.

καὶ εἴπαμεν ποιῆσαι οὕτως τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι
τὸν βωμὸν τοῦτον, οὐχ ἕνεκεν καρπωμάτων οὐδὲ ἕνεκεν θυσίων ,

ἀλλ' ἵνα ᾖ τοῦτο μαρτύριον ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ
μέσον τῶν γενεῶν ἡμῶν μεθ’ ἡμᾶς, τοῦ λατρεύειν λατρίαν Κύρῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς καρπώμασιν ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς θυσίας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων· καὶ οὐκ ἐροῦσιν τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν τοῖς τέκνοις ἡμῶν αὔριον οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν μερὶς κυρίου.

καὶ εἴπαμεν
Ἐὰν γένηταί ποτε καὶ λαλήσωσιν πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ταῖς γενεαῖς ἡμῶν αὔριον, καὶ ἐροῦσιν ἴδετε ὀμοίωμα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου, ⁷⁸ ὃ ἐποίησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν οὐχ ἕνεκεν καρπωμάτων οὐδὲ ἕνεκεν ⁹ θυσιῶν, ἀλλὰ μαρτύριόν ἐστιν ἀνὰ μέσον ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν
καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν υἱῶν ἡμῶν.

ἡμὴ γένοιτο οὖν ἡμᾶς ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ κυρίου ἐν ταῖς σήμερον ἡμέραις, ἀποστῆσαι ἀπὸ Τυρίου ὥστε οἰκοδομῆσαι ἡμᾶς θυσιαστηριον τοῖς καρπώμασιν καὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σαλαμεὶν καὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ τοῦ σωτηρίου, πλὴν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου
ὅ ἐστιν ἐναντίον τῆς σκηνῆς αὐτοῦ.

Καὶ ἀκούσας φεινεὲς ὁ ἱερεύς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς Ἰσραὴλ οἳ ἤσαν μετ’ αὐτοῦ τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ρουβὴν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ
Γὰδ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ φυλῆς Μανασσή, καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτοῖς.

καὶ εἶπεν Φεινεὲς ὁ ἱερεὺς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ῥουβὴν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Γὰδ καὶ τῷ ἡμίσει φυλῆς Μανασσῆ Σήμερον ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι μεθ’ ἡμῶν κύριος, διότι οὐκ ἐπλημμελήσατε ἐναντίον κυρίου πλημμελίαν, καὶ ὅτι ἐρύσασθε
τούς υἱούς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ χειρὸς κυρίου.

καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Φεινεὲς ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ῥουβὴν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Γὰδ καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσῆ ἐκ τῆς Γαλαὰδ εἰς γῆν Χανάαν
πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτοῖς τοὺς λόγους.

καὶ ἤρεσεν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ· καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ. καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν θεὸν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπαν μηκέτι ἀναβῆναι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς πόλεμον ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τὴν γῆν τῶν υἱῶν καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Γὰδ καὶ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσή· καὶ κατῴκησαν
ἐπ’ αὐτῆς.

καὶ ἐπωνόμασεν Ἰησοῦς τὸν βωμὸν τῶν Ῥουβὴν καὶ τῶν Γὰδ καὶ τοῦ ἡμίσους φυλῆς Μανασσὴ, καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι Μαρτύριόν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν ἐστιν.

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

and said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you:

you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.

Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them: therefore now turn you, and get you to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh 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.

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

Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward; moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

and spoke to them, saying, Return with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much clothing: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.

The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look on.

The children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel.

When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.

They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,

that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? and it will be, seeing you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

However, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tent dwells, and take possession among us: but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Yahweh our God.

Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man didn’t perish alone in his iniquity.

Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us this day,)

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Yahweh himself require it;

and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?

for Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no portion in Yahweh: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.

Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not tell our children in time to come, You have no portion in Yahweh.

Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so tell us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.

Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tent.

When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh: now have you delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from 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.

The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.

The children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.
