Joshua 22:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ “·All the Israelites [^LThe whole assembly/congregation of the Lord] ask you: ‘Why did you ·turn against [break faith by turning away from] the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? You know that this is ·against God’s law [^Lrebellion this day against the Lord]. ¹⁷ ·Remember what happened at Peor [^LWasn’t the sin of Peor enough; Num. 24]? We still ·suffer today [^Lhave not cleansed/purified ourselves] because of that sin, for which ·God made many Israelites very sick [^La plague came against the congregation/assembly of the Lord]. ¹⁸ And now are you turning against the Lord and refusing to follow him?

“‘If you ·don’t stop what you’re doing [^Lrebel against the Lord] today, the Lord will be angry with ·everyone in Israel [the whole congregation/assembly] tomorrow.
