Joshua 22:29 in Context — Joshua 22

27 Mas, sim, para que seja um testemunho entre nós e vós, e entre os que virão depois de nós, de que podemos exercer o serviço do SENHOR diante dele com nossos holocaustos, com nossos sacrifícios, e com as nossas ofertas pacíficas; e não digam amanhã vossos filhos aos nossos: Vós não tendes parte com o SENHOR.

28 Nós, pois, dissemos: Se acontecer que tal digam a nós, ou a nossas gerações no porvir, então responderemos: Olhai a réplica do altar do SENHOR, o qual os nossos pais fizeram, não para holocaustos ou sacrifícios, mas, sim, para que fosse testemunho entre nós e vós.

29 Nunca tal aconteça que nos rebelemos contra o SENHOR, ou que nos deixemos hoje de seguir ao SENHOR, edificando um altar para holocaustos, para ofertas de alimentos, ou para sacrifício, além do altar do SENHOR, nosso Deus, que está diante do seu tabernáculo.

30 E ouvindo Fineias, o sacerdote, e os príncipes da congregação, e os chefes da multidão de Israel que com ele estavam, as palavras que falaram os filhos de Rúben e os filhos de Gade e os filhos de Manassés, satisfizeram-se com isso.

31 E disse Fineias, filho do sacerdote Eleazar, aos filhos de Rúben, aos filhos de Gade, e aos filhos de Manassés: Hoje temos entendido que o SENHOR está entre nós, pois não intentastes esta traição contra o SENHOR. Agora livrastes os filhos de Israel da mão do SENHOR.
