Joshua 22:22-24

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²² The Mighty One, God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God, the Lord! He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in transgression against the Lord, spare us not today.

²³ If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the Lord, or if we did so to offer on it burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings, may the Lord Himself take vengeance.

²⁴ No! But we did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
