Joshua 22:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ So we said, ‘Let us build immediately for ourselves an altar, not for burnt offerings^[a] or for sacrifices;^{[b] 27} instead, it is a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us for performing the serving of Yahweh in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings; so that your children may not say in the future to our children, “You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ ²⁸ And we thought, if they say to us and to our children in the future, we can say, ‘Look at this replica of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors^[c] made, not for burnt offerings^[d] or sacrifices;^[e] rather, it is a witness between us and you.’
