Joshua 22:27

The Passion Translation

We built this altar to show to our people and to your people and to the generations to come that we will worship Yahweh at his tabernacle. We will bring all our offerings into Yahweh’s presence there so that your children may never say to our children in the future, ‘You have no part in the worship of Yahweh.’
