JOSHUA 22:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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 Lord himself require it;”
If we have built an altar to turn away from following the LORD, or if to offer burnt offerings or grain offerings on it, or if to make sacrifices of peace offerings on it, may the LORD himself take vengeance on us — The eastern tribes specify what they explicitly deny: they have not built the altar for sacrifice or worship. The list of prohibited uses (burnt offerings, grain offerings, peace offerings) covers the major sacrifice categories. Their denial frames the altar's actual purpose differently.
