Joshua 22:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ ·Remember how [^LIs it not true that…?] Achan son of Zerah refused to obey the command about ·what must be completely destroyed [^Lthe devoted things; 7:1–26]. That one man broke God’s law, but ·all the Israelites [^Lthe whole assembly/congregation] were punished. ·Achan died because of his sin, but others also died [^LAnd he did not die alone for his sin].’”

²¹ The people from Reuben, Gad, and ·East [the half-tribe of] Manasseh answered [^Lthe heads of the clans of Israel], ²² “·The Lord is God of gods! [or El, God, the Lord] ·The Lord is God of gods [or El, God, the Lord]! God knows, and we want you to know also. If we have ·done something wrong [^Lrebelled or broken faith with the Lord], ·you may kill us [^Ldo not spare us today].
