All of the Israelite people gathered together at Shiloh. At that place they set up the Meeting Tent. [63] The people of Israel controlled that country. They had defeated all the enemies in that land.
So the people of Israel sent some men to talk to the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. The leader of these men was Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest.
Then Phinehas and the leaders left that place and went home. They left the people of Reuben and Gad in the land of Gilead and went back to Canaan. They went back to the people of Israel and told them what happened.
