JOSHUA 22:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,”
that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And if you rebel against the LORD today, he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow — The delegatesfear that covenant violation by one tribe invites divine judgment on all Israel. This reflects the principle of covenant solidarity: the community's standing depends on all members' faithfulness. The warning of divine anger (ʾap̄-YHWH) emphasizes the seriousness of potential breach.
