JOSHUA 22:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.”
And the people of Israel heard of it, and the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered at Shiloh to make war against them — The western tribes' response is immediate and forceful: rumors of the altar trigger war preparation. The gathering at Shiloh, the sanctuary, frames the response as covenant-authorized action. The presumption is that the eastern tribes have violated covenant law regarding unauthorized altars.
