2: and saidH0559 to themH0413 YouH0859 have keptH8104 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 commandedH6680 youH0853 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of YahwehH3068 and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in allH3605 thatH0834 I commandedH6680 you.H0853

6: So blessed themH1288 JoshuaH3091 and sent them away-H7971 and they wentH1980 toH0413 their tents.H0168

7: And to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 had given a possessionH5414 MosesH4872 in Bashan,H1316 but to the [other] half of itH2677 gave [a possession]H5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brothersH0251 on this side ofH5676 the JordanH3383 westward.H3220 And indeedH1571 whenH3588 sent them awayH7971 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 their tents,H0168 and he blessed them.H1288

15: And they cameH0935 toH0413 the sonsH1121 of Reuben,H7205 and toH0413 the sonsH1121 of Gad,H1410 and toH0413 halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of Manasseh,H4519 toH0413 the landH0776 of Gilead,H1568 and they spokeH1696 with themH0854 saying,H0559

16: thusH3541 saysH0559 wholeH3605 the congregationH5712 of Yahweh:,H3068 what [is]H4100 treacheryH4603 thisH2088 thatH0834 you have committedH4603 against the GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH0310 Yahweh,H3068 in that you have builtH1129 an altar,H4196 that you might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against Yahweh?H3068

17: is [not] enoughH4592 -H0853 the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 whichH0834 notH3808 we are cleansedH2891 fromH4480 untilH5704 day,H3117 thisH2088 and although there wasH1961 a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of Yahweh,H3068

20: Did notH3808 AchanH5912 sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thing,H2764 and onH5921 allH3605 the congregationH5712 of Israel?H3478 fellH1961 wrathH7110 and he [alone as]H1931 manH0376 oneH0259 notH3808 did perishH1478 in his iniquity.H5771

22: the Mighty oneH0410 of gods,H0430 YahwehH3068 the Mighty oneH0410 of gods,H0430 YahwehH3068 HeH1931 knows,H3045 and IsraelH3478 heH1931 will know-H3045 if [it is]H0518 in rebellion,H4777 or ifH0518 in treacheryH4604 against Yahweh,H3068 notH0408 do save usH3467 dayH3117 this.H2088

23: If we have builtH1129 an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH0310 Yahweh,H3068 or ifH0518 to offerH5927 on itH5921 burnt offeringsH5930 or grain offerings,H4503 or ifH0518 to offerH6213 on it,H5921 offeringsH2077 peaceH8002 YahwehH3068 HeH1931 will require [an account].H1245

24: But in factH0518 notH3808 for fear forH1674 a reason,H1697 we have doneH6213 -H0853 thisH2063 saying,H0559 in time to comeH4279 may speakH0559 your descendantsH1121 to our,H1121 descendants saying,H0559 whatH4100 with YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel?H3478

25: for a borderH1366 madeH5414 YahwehH3068 between usH0996 and youH0996 [you] childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of Gad-H1410 hasH0853 the JordanH3383 noH0369 have partH2506 in Yahweh.H3068 So would make ceaseH7673 your descendantsH1121 -H0853 our descendantsH1121 fromH1115 fearingH3372 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068

30: And when heardH8085 PhinehasH6372 the priest,H3548 and the rulersH5387 of the congregationH5712 and the headsH7218 of the divisionsH0505 of IsraelH3478 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 -H0853 the wordsH1697 thatH0834 spoke,H1696 the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and the sonsH1121 of ManassehH4519 and it pleasedH3190 them.H5869

31: And saidH0559 PhinehasH6372 sonH1121 of EleazarH0499 the priestH3548 toH0413 the sonsH1121 of Reuben,H7205 andH0413 the sonsH1121 of Gad,H1410 andH0413 the sonsH1121 of Manasseh,H4519 this dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 thatH3588 among usH8432 Yahweh [is]H3068 becauseH0834 notH3808 you have committedH4603 against Yahweh-H3068 treacheryH4604 thisH2088 ConsequentlyH0227 you have deliveredH5337 -H0853 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of Yahweh.H3068

32: And returnedH7725 PhinehasH6372 sonH1121 of EleazarH0499 the priest,H3548 and the rulers,H5387 fromH0853 the sonsH1121 of Reuben,H7205 andH0853 the sonsH1121 of Gad,H1410 from the landH0776 of Gilead,H1568 toH0413 the landH0776 of Canaan,H3667 toH0413 the sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 and brought backH7725 to themH0854 word.H1697
