Joshua 22:30-34 ▼

30 And Phinehas the priest and the princes of the congregation and the heads of the divisions of Israel who were with him heard the words that the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh, spoke, and it pleased them.

31 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh, “This day we perceive that YHWH is in our midst, because you? have not committed this treachery against YHWH. Therefore, you? have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of YHWH.”

32 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the leaders returned from the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and they brought back to them word.

33 And the word was pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel; and the sons of Israel blessed God, and they spoke no more of going against them in battle to destroy the land that the sons of Reuben and of Gad were dwelling in.

34 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaimed of the altar that, “It is a witness between us that YHWH is God.”
