Joshua 22:28 in Context — Joshua 22
26 C’est pourquoi nous avons dit: Bâtissons-nous donc un autel, non pour des holocaustes et pour des sacrifices,
27 mais comme un témoin entre nous et vous, entre nos descendants et les vôtres, que nous voulons servir l’Éternel devant sa face par nos holocaustes et par nos sacrifices d’expiation et d’actions de grâces, afin que vos fils ne disent pas un jour à nos fils: Vous n’avez point de part à l’Éternel!
28 Nous avons dit: S’ils tiennent dans l’avenir ce langage à nous ou à nos descendants, nous répondrons: Voyez la forme de l’autel de l’Éternel, qu’ont fait nos pères, non pour des holocaustes et pour des sacrifices, mais comme témoin entre nous et vous.
29 Loin de nous la pensée de nous révolter contre l’Éternel et de nous détourner aujourd’hui de l’Éternel, en bâtissant un autel pour des holocaustes, pour des offrandes et pour des sacrifices, outre l’autel de l’Éternel, notre Dieu, qui est devant sa demeure!
30 Lorsque le sacrificateur Phinées, et les princes de l’assemblée, les chefs des milliers d’Israël, qui étaient avec lui, eurent entendu les paroles que prononcèrent les fils de Ruben, les fils de Gad et les fils de Manassé, ils furent satisfaits.
