Joshua 22:24

The Passion Translation

No! We love Yahweh! We were afraid that in the future your descendants will say to our descendants, ‘Who are you? What right do you have to worship Yahweh, the God of Israel? He has placed the Jordan River as a barrier between our people and your people. You Reubenites and Gadites have no part in the worship of Yahweh.’ And your descendants may prevent ours from worshiping him.
