As tribos orientais regressam a Gileade
1 Josuéconvocou as tropas das tribos de Rúben, Gad e da meia tribo de Manassés. 2 E falou-lhes deste modo: "Vocês fizeram tudo conforme Moisés, o servo do Senhor, vos ordenou e obedeceram a cada mandamento que vos foi transmitido, a cada ordem dada pelo Senhor, vosso Deus. 3 Não abandonaram as tribos vossas irmãs, mesmo tendo esta campanha durado tanto tempo. 4 O Senhor, vosso Deus, deu repouso a vossos irmãos, como lhes tinha prometido. Por isso, regressem aos vossos lares, à terra que vos foi dada pelo servo do Senhor, Moisés, no lado de lá do Jordão. 5 Não deixem de obedecer o mandamento e a Lei que Moisés, o servo do Senhor, vos mandou. Amem o Senhor, vosso Deus, e sigam o seu plano para as vossas vidas. Cheguem-se a ele e sirvam-no com zelo e entusiasmo."
6 Desta forma, Josuéabençoou-os e mandou-os embora. 7 (Eles regressaram à terra que Moiséslhes tinha atribuído; no que respeita à meia tribo de Manassés, a terra de Basã; a outra meia tribo recebeu igualmente terra, mas do lado ocidental do Jordão.) Josué, ao mandar regressar aquelas tropas, abençoou-as; 8 disse-lhes também que repartissem os bens que tinham obtido do despojo dos combates com os seus irmãos que tinham ficado do outro lado; bens esses que consistiam em gado, prata, ouro, bronze, ferro e vestuário.
9 Assim, as tropas de Rúben, de Gade da meia tribo de Manassésdeixaram o exército de Israelem Silo, em Canaã, e atravessaram de novo o Jordão, de volta aos seus lares, à terra de Gileade.
O Altar do Testemunho
10 Contudo, antes de encetarem essa travessia, enquanto estavam ainda em Canaã, resolveram construir um grande monumento, bem visível a toda a gente, e com a forma de um altar.
11 Quando o resto de Israelouviu dizer o que eles estavam a fazer, 12 mobilizaram imediatamente um exército em Siloe prepararam-se para combater aquelas tribos irmãs.
13 No entanto, enviaram primeiro uma delegação chefiada por Fineias, filho do sacerdote Eleazar. Estes atravessaram o rio e vieram conferenciar com as tribos de Rúbene de Gade com a meia tribo de Manassés. 14 Nessa delegação havia dez oficiais de Israel, um de cada uma das dez tribos, um chefe por cada clã.
15 Quando chegaram à terra de Gileadedisseram às outras três tribos: 16 "Toda a congregação do Senhorvos pede que lhe façam saber a razão por que estão a pecar contra o Deus de Israel, desviando-se dele e construindo um altar, sinal de rebelião contra o Senhor. 17 Terá sido pouca coisa a rebelião de Peor, da qual ainda hoje não estamos completamente limpos, a despeito da praga que nos flagelou, 18 e agora querem cair no mesmo erro? Sabem bem que se se revoltarem hoje contra o Senhor, amanhã estará contra todos nós. 19 Se precisam desse altar por causa da terra estar impura, venham para a terra do Senhor, onde está o tabernáculo do Senhor; repartiremos a nossa terra convosco. Mas não se voltem contra o Senhor, construindo outro altar além do único altar verdadeiro do Senhor, nosso Deus. 20 Não se lembram que quando Acã, o filho de Zera, pecou, ao apoderar-se das coisas condenadas à destruição, a nação inteira foi castigada? Além do mais não foi só ele a morrer devido ao seu pecado."
21 A resposta do povo de Rúben, de Gade da meia tribo de Manassésàqueles oficiais foi a seguinte: 22 "Nós juramos, pelo Senhor, o Deus dos deuses, que não construímos nenhum altar em rebelião contra o Senhor. Ele sabe bem, e que todo Israel o saiba igualmente, 23 que não construímos um altar para nele realizar holocaustos, ofertas de cereais ou de paz. Que a maldição do Senhorrecaia sobre nós se o fizermos. 24 Edificámos este altar, porque tememos que no futuro os vossos filhos venham a dizer aos nossos: ‘Com que direito adoram o SenhorDeus de Israel? 25 O Senhorcolocou o rio Jordãocomo fronteira entre o nosso povo e o vosso. Vocês nada têm a ver com o Senhor!’ E assim os vossos descendentes seriam a causa dos nossos descendentes abandonarem o temor ao Senhor.
26 Por isso, decidimos construir este altar, não para oferecer holocaustos de animais nem quaisquer sacrifícios, 27 mas como um testemunho, para mostrar aos nossos e aos vossos descendentes que nós, cá deste lado, também adoramos o Senhor, oferecendo-lhe holocaustos, ofertas de paz e sacrifícios. Assim, os vossos filhos não poderão vir a dizer para os nossos: ‘Nada têm a ver com o Senhor, nosso Deus.’ 28 No caso de virem a dizê-lo, os nossos poderão responder-lhes. ‘Vejam o altar do Senhorque os nossos pais construíram, de acordo com o modelo do altar do Senhor. Não servirá para oferecer holocaustos ou sacrifícios; será apenas um símbolo do relacionamento que nós e vocês temos com o Senhor.’
29 Longe de nós pretendermos afastar-nos do Senhorou insurgirmo-nos contra ele, construindo um altar para oferecermos os nossos holocaustos, ofertas de paz e sacrifícios. Só o altar que está defronte do tabernáculo pode ser usado para isso."
30 Quando Fineias, o sacerdote, e os outros delegados ouviram esta explicação da parte das tribos de Rúben, Gade Manassés, ficaram muito satisfeitos. 31 Fineiasreplicou-lhes: "Continuamos a verificar que o Senhortem estado no nosso meio; vocês não pecaram contra o Senhor, como tínhamos pensado, e com essas palavras conseguiram evitar que vos destruíssemos!"
32 Fineiase os outros dez embaixadores regressaram para junto do povo de Israel, relatando o seu encontro com os rubenitas e os gaditas em Gileade. 33 Todo o Israelse alegrou e louvou a Deus, não se tendo falado mais de guerra contra Rúbene Gad. 34 O povo destas tribos chamou ao monumento que tinham levantado Altar do Testemunho: "É um testemunho entre nós e eles em como o Senhoré também o nosso Deus!"

1 Then Joshuacalled the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Mosesthe servant of the LORDcommanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you: 3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORDyour God. 4 And now the LORDyour God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, andunto the land of your possession, which Mosesthe servant of the LORDgave you on the other side Jordan. 5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Mosesthe servant of the LORDcharged you, to love the LORDyour God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. 6 So Joshuablessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
7 Now to the onehalf of the tribe of ManassehMoseshad given possessionin Bashan: but unto the otherhalf thereof gave Joshuaamong their brethren on this side Jordanwestward. And when Joshuasent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them, 8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
9 And the children of Reubenand the children of Gadand the half tribe of Manassehreturned, and departed from the children of Israelout of Shiloh, which isin the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORDby the hand of Moses.
10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that arein the land of Canaan, the children of Reubenand the children of Gadand the half tribe of Manassehbuilt there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
11 And the children of Israelheard say, Behold, the children of Reubenand the children of Gadand the half tribe of Manassehhave built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel. 12 And when the children of Israelheard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israelgathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them. 13 And the children of Israelsent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehasthe son of Eleazarthe priest, 14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one wasan head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.22.14 chief…: Heb. house of the father
15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying, 16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass isthis that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD? 17 Isthe iniquity of Peortoo little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD, 18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeingye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession beunclean, thenpass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’stabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORDour God. 20 Did not Achanthe son of Zerahcommit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
21 Then the children of Reubenand the children of Gadand the half tribe of Manassehanswered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel, 22 The LORDGod of gods, the LORDGod of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it bein rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,) 23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORDhimself require it;24 And if we have not ratherdone it for fear of thisthing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORDGod of Israel?22.24 In time…: Heb. To morrow25 For the LORDhath made Jordana border between us and you, ye children of Reubenand children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD. 26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 27 But thatit may bea witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORDbefore him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD. 28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should sosay to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it isa witness between us and you. 29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORDour God that isbefore his tabernacle.
30 And when Phinehasthe priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israelwhich werewith him, heard the words that the children of Reubenand the children of Gadand the children of Manassehspake, it pleased them.22.30 pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes31 And Phinehasthe son of Eleazarthe priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORDisamong us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israelout of the hand of the LORD.22.31 now: Heb. then
32 And Phinehasthe son of Eleazarthe priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. 33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israelblessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reubenand Gaddwelt. 34 And the children of Reubenand the children of Gadcalled the altar Ed:for it shall bea witness between us that the LORDisGod.22.34 Ed: that is, A witness
