Bible: Josh 22:16, 18, 23, 29
22:16 “The entire community of the Lord says, ‘Why have you disobeyed the God of Israel by turning back today from following the Lord ? You built an altar for yourselves and have rebelled today against the Lord . 1 22:18 Now today you dare to turn back 2 from following the Lord ! You are rebelling today against the Lord ; tomorrow he may break out in anger against 3 the entire community of Israel. 22:23 If we have built 4 an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making 5 burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering 6 tokens of peace 7 on it, the Lord himself will punish us. 8 22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against the Lord by turning back today from following after the Lord by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace 9 aside from the altar of the Lord our God located in front of his dwelling place!” 10
