JOSHUA 22:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
When Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation, the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben, the people of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh spoke, they were satisfied — Phinehas and the delegation accept the eastern tribes' explanation. The acceptance hinges on clarification of purpose: memorial, not sacrificial; witness, not rebellion. The western tribes' satisfaction indicates that doctrinal clarity resolves what initially appeared to be a covenant breach.
