06:022:026 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar,
           not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 

06:022:027 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our
           generations after us, that we might do the service of the lord
           before 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.

06:022:028 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say
           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 is a witness between us and you.

06:022:029 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 lord our God that is before his tabernacle.

06:022:030 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the
           congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were
           with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the
           children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased
           them.

06:022:031 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the 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 lord is
           among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against
           the lord:  now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of
           the hand of the lord.

06:022:032 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the 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.

06:022:033 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children
           of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against
           them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of
           Reuben and Gad dwelt.

06:022:034 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the
           altar Ed:  for it shall be a witness between us that the lord
           is God.

06:023:001 And it came to pass a long time after that the lord had given
           rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that
           Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
