Joshua 22:30-34 ▼

30 When Phinehas (mouth of brass) the priest and the chiefs of the congregation—the heads of Israel’s (he wrestles with God) clans who were with him—heard what the descendants of Reuben (behold a son), Gad (troop), and Manasseh (causing to forget) had to say, they were satisfied.

31 Phinehas (mouth of brass) son of Eleazar (God has helped) the priest said to the descendants of Reuben (behold a son), Gad (troop), and Manasseh (causing to forget), “Today we know that the LORD {YHWH} is among us, because you⁺ have not committed this breach of faith against Him. Consequently, you⁺ have delivered the Israelites (God prevails) from the hand of the LORD.”

32 Then Phinehas (mouth of brass) son of Eleazar (God has helped) the priest, together with the other leaders, returned to the Israelites (God prevails) in the land of Canaan (lowland) and brought back a report regarding the Reubenites (behold a son) and Gadites (troop) in the land of Gilead (rocky region).

33 The Israelites (God prevails) were satisfied with the report, and they blessed God {Elohim} and spoke no more about going to war against them to destroy the land where the Reubenites (behold a son) and Gadites (troop) lived.

34 So the Reubenites (behold a son) and Gadites (troop) named the altar Witness, for they said \named the altar, for/, “It is a witness between us that the LORD {YHWH} is God {Elohim}.”
