16 “This is what the whole congregation of the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘What is this breach of faith you⁺ have committed today against the God {Elohim} of Israel (he wrestles with God) by turning away from the LORD and building for yourselves an altar, that you⁺ might rebel against the LORD this day? 17 Was not the sin of Peor (cleft) enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD {YHWH}. 18 And now, would you⁺ turn away from the LORD {YHWH}? If you⁺ rebel today against the LORD, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God). 19 If indeed the land of your⁺ inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s {YHWH} possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it among us. But do not rebel against the LORD or against us by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}. 20 Was not Achan (troubler) son of Zerah (rising) unfaithful regarding what was set apart for destruction {cherem}, bringing wrath upon the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God)? Yet it was not only Achan who perished because of his sin!’” Joshua 22:16-20, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
