King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Then[H227] Joshua[H3091] called[H7121] the Reubenites,[H7206] and the Gadites,[H1425] and the half[H2677] tribe[H4294] of Manasseh,[H4519]

2. And said[H559] unto[H413] them, Ye[H859] have kept[H8104] [H853] all[H3605] that[H834] Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068] commanded[H6680] you, and have obeyed[H8085] my voice[H6963] in all[H3605] that[H834] I commanded[H6680] you:

3. Ye have not[H3808] left[H5800] [H853] your brethren[H251] these[H2088] many[H7227] days[H3117] unto[H5704] this[H2088] day,[H3117] but have kept[H8104] [H853] the charge[H4931] of the commandment[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] your God.[H430]

4. And now[H6258] the LORD[H3068] your God[H430] hath given rest[H5117] unto your brethren,[H251] as[H834] he promised[H1696] them: therefore now[H6258] return[H6437] ye, and get[H1980] you unto your tents,[H168] and unto[H413] the land[H776] of your possession,[H272] which[H834] Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068] gave[H5414] you on the other side[H5676] Jordan.[H3383]

5. But[H7535] take diligent[H3966] heed[H8104] to do[H6213] [H853] the commandment[H4687] and the law,[H8451] which[H834] Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068] charged[H6680] you, to love[H157] [H853] the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] and to walk[H1980] in all[H3605] his ways,[H1870] and to keep[H8104] his commandments,[H4687] and to cleave[H1692] unto him, and to serve[H5647] him with all[H3605] your heart[H3824] and with all[H3605] your soul.[H5315]

6. So Joshua[H3091] blessed[H1288] them, and sent them away:[H7971] and they went[H1980] unto[H413] their tents.[H168]

7. Now to the one half[H2677] of the tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] Moses[H4872] had given[H5414] possession in Bashan:[H1316] but unto the other half[H2677] thereof gave[H5414] Joshua[H3091] among[H5973] their brethren[H251] on this side[H5676] Jordan[H3383] westward.[H3220] And when[H3588] Joshua[H3091] sent them away[H7971] also[H1571] unto[H413] their tents,[H168] then he blessed[H1288] them,

8. And he spoke[H559] unto[H413] them, saying,[H559] Return[H7725] with much[H7227] riches[H5233] unto[H413] your tents,[H168] and with very[H3966] much[H7227] cattle,[H4735] with silver,[H3701] and with gold,[H2091] and with brass,[H5178] and with iron,[H1270] and with very[H3966] much[H7235] raiment:[H8008] divide[H2505] the spoil[H7998] of your enemies[H341] with[H5973] your brethren.[H251]

9. And the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] returned,[H7725] and departed[H1980] from[H4480] [H854] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of Shiloh,[H4480] [H7887] which[H834] is in the land[H776] of Canaan,[H3667] to go[H1980] unto[H413] the country[H776] of Gilead,[H1568] to[H413] the land[H776] of their possession,[H272] whereof[H834] they were possessed,[H270] according[H5921] to the word[H6310] of the LORD[H3068] by the hand[H3027] of Moses.[H4872]

10. And when they came[H935] unto[H413] the borders[H1552] of Jordan,[H3383] that[H834] are in the land[H776] of Canaan,[H3667] the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] built[H1129] there[H8033] an altar[H4196] by[H5921] Jordan,[H3383] a great[H1419] altar[H4196] to see[H4758] to.

11. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] heard[H8085] say,[H559] Behold,[H2009] the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] have built[H1129] [H853] an altar[H4196] over against[H413] [H4136] the land[H776] of Canaan,[H3667] in[H413] the borders[H1552] of Jordan,[H3383] at[H413] the passage[H1552] of the children[H1121] of Israel.[H3478]

12. And when the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] heard[H8085] of it, the whole[H3605] congregation[H5712] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] gathered themselves together[H6950] at Shiloh,[H7887] to go[H5927] up to war[H6635] against[H5921] them.

13. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] sent[H7971] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Reuben,[H7205] and to[H413] the children[H1121] of Gad,[H1410] and to[H413] the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh,[H4519] into[H413] the land[H776] of Gilead,[H1568] [H853] Phinehas[H6372] the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499] the priest,[H3548]

14. And with[H5973] him ten[H6235] princes,[H5387] of each chief[H5387] [H259] [H5387] [H259] house[H1004] a prince[H1] throughout all[H3605] the tribes[H4294] of Israel;[H3478] and each one[H376] was a head[H7218] of the house[H1004] of their fathers[H1] among the thousands[H505] of Israel.[H3478]

15. And they came[H935] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Reuben,[H7205] and to[H413] the children[H1121] of Gad,[H1410] and to[H413] the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh,[H4519] unto[H413] the land[H776] of Gilead,[H1568] and they spoke[H1696] with[H854] them, saying,[H559]

16. Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the whole[H3605] congregation[H5712] of the LORD,[H3068] What[H4100] trespass[H4604] is this[H2088] that[H834] ye have committed[H4603] against the God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] to turn away[H7725] this day[H3117] from following[H4480] [H310] the LORD,[H3068] in that ye have built[H1129] you an altar,[H4196] that ye might rebel[H4775] this day[H3117] against the LORD?[H3068]

17. Is[H853] the iniquity[H5771] of Peor[H6465] too little[H4592] for us, from[H4480] which[H834] we are not[H3808] cleansed[H2891] until[H5704] this[H2088] day,[H3117] although there was[H1961] a plague[H5063] in the congregation[H5712] of the LORD,[H3068]

18. But that ye[H859] must turn away[H7725] this day[H3117] from following[H4480] [H310] the LORD?[H3068] and it will be,[H1961] seeing ye[H859] rebel[H4775] today[H3117] against the LORD,[H3068] that tomorrow[H4279] he will be wroth[H7107] with[H413] the whole[H3605] congregation[H5712] of Israel.[H3478]

19. Notwithstanding,[H389] if[H518] the land[H776] of your possession[H272] be unclean,[H2931] then pass ye over[H5674] unto[H413] the land[H776] of the possession[H272] of the LORD,[H3068] wherein[H834] the LORD's[H3068] tabernacle[H4908] dwelleth,[H7931] [H8033] and take possession[H270] among[H8432] us: but rebel[H4775] not[H408] against the LORD,[H3068] nor[H408] rebel[H4775] against us, in building[H1129] you an altar[H4196] beside[H4480] [H1107] the altar[H4196] of the LORD[H3068] our God.[H430]

20. Did not[H3808] Achan[H5912] the son[H1121] of Zerah[H2226] commit[H4603] a trespass[H4604] in the accursed thing,[H2764] and wrath[H7110] fell[H1961] on[H5921] all[H3605] the congregation[H5712] of Israel?[H3478] and that[H1931] man[H376] perished[H1478] not[H3808] alone[H259] in his iniquity.[H5771]

21. Then the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the half[H2677] tribe[H7626] of Manasseh[H4519] answered,[H6030] and said[H1696] unto[H853] the heads[H7218] of the thousands[H505] of Israel,[H3478]

22. The LORD[H3068] God[H410] of gods,[H430] the LORD[H3068] God[H410] of gods,[H430] he[H1931] knoweth,[H3045] and Israel[H3478] he[H1931] shall know;[H3045] if[H518] it be in rebellion,[H4777] or if[H518] in transgression[H4604] against the LORD,[H3068] (save[H3467] us not[H408] this[H2088] day,)[H3117]

23. That we have built[H1129] us an altar[H4196] to turn[H7725] from following[H4480] [H310] the LORD,[H3068] or if[H518] to offer[H5927] thereon[H5921] burnt offering[H5930] or meat offering,[H4503] or if[H518] to offer[H6213] peace[H8002] offerings[H2077] thereon,[H5921] let the LORD[H3068] himself[H1931] require[H1245] it;

24. And if[H518] we have not[H3808] rather done[H6213] [H853] it[H2063] for fear[H4480] [H1674] of this thing,[H4480] [H1697] saying,[H559] In time to come[H4279] your children[H1121] might speak[H559] unto our children,[H1121] saying,[H559] What[H4100] have ye to do with the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel?[H3478]

25. For the LORD[H3068] hath made[H5414] [H853] Jordan[H3383] a border[H1366] between[H996] us and you, ye children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and children[H1121] of Gad;[H1410] ye have no[H369] part[H2506] in the LORD:[H3068] so shall your children[H1121] make[H853] our children[H1121] cease[H7673] from fearing[H3372] [H853] the LORD.[H3068]

26. Therefore we said,[H559] Let us now[H4994] prepare[H6213] to build[H1129] us[H853] an altar,[H4196] not[H3808] for burnt[H5930] offering, nor[H3808] for sacrifice: [H2077]

27. But[H3588] that it[H1931] may be a witness[H5707] between[H996] us, and you, and our generations[H1755] after[H310] us, that we might do[H5647] [H853] the service[H5656] of the LORD[H3068] before[H6440] him with our burnt offerings,[H5930] and with our sacrifices,[H2077] and with our peace offerings;[H8002] that your children[H1121] may not[H3808] say[H559] to our children[H1121] in time to come,[H4279] Ye have no[H369] part[H2506] in the LORD.[H3068]

28. Therefore said[H559] we, that it shall be,[H1961] when[H3588] they should so say[H559] to[H413] us or to[H413] our generations[H1755] in time to come,[H4279] that we may say[H559] again, Behold[H7200] [H853] the pattern[H8403] of the altar[H4196] of the LORD,[H3068] which[H834] our fathers[H1] made,[H6213] not[H3808] for burnt offerings,[H5930] nor[H3808] for sacrifices;[H2077] but[H3588] it[H1931] is a witness[H5707] between[H996] us and you.

29. God forbid[H2486] that we[H4480] should rebel[H4775] against the LORD,[H3068] and turn[H7725] this day[H3117] from following[H4480] [H310] the LORD,[H3068] to build[H1129] an altar[H4196] for burnt offerings,[H5930] for meat offerings,[H4503] or for sacrifices,[H2077] beside[H4480] [H905] the altar[H4196] of the LORD[H3068] our God[H430] that[H834] is before[H6440] his tabernacle.[H4908]

30. And when Phinehas[H6372] the priest,[H3548] and the princes[H5387] of the congregation[H5712] and heads[H7218] of the thousands[H505] of Israel[H3478] which[H834] were with[H854] him, heard[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] that[H834] the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] and the children[H1121] of Manasseh[H4519] spoke,[H1696] it pleased[H3190] [H5869] them.

31. And Phinehas[H6372] the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499] the priest[H3548] said[H559] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Reuben,[H7205] and to[H413] the children[H1121] of Gad,[H1410] and to[H413] the children[H1121] of Manasseh,[H4519] This day[H3117] we perceive[H3045] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] is among[H8432] us, because[H834] ye have not[H3808] committed[H4603] this[H2088] trespass[H4604] against the LORD:[H3068] now[H227] ye have delivered[H5337] [H853] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of the LORD.[H3068]

32. And Phinehas[H6372] the son[H1121] of Eleazar[H499] the priest,[H3548] and the princes,[H5387] returned[H7725] from[H4480] [H854] the children[H1121] of Reuben,[H7205] and from[H4480] [H854] the children[H1121] of Gad,[H1410] out of the land[H4480] [H776] of Gilead,[H1568] unto[H413] the land[H776] of Canaan,[H3667] to[H413] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] and brought them word again.[H7725] [H853] [H1697]

33. And the thing[H1697] pleased[H3190] [H5869] the children[H1121] of Israel;[H3478] and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] blessed[H1288] God,[H430] and did not[H3808] intend[H559] to go up[H5927] against[H5921] them in battle,[H6635] to destroy[H7843] [H853] the land[H776] wherein[H834] the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and Gad[H1410] dwelt.[H3427]

34. And the children[H1121] of Reuben[H7205] and the children[H1121] of Gad[H1410] called[H7121] the altar[H4196] Ed: for[H3588] it[H1931] shall be a witness[H5707] between[H996] us that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] is God.[H430]
