BRAGADAYJAH 675



BRAGADAYJAH 675
So the children of Israel said to the Reubenites the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, if your land be unclean, then pass over unto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the tabernacle of the Lord dwells and take possession among us; but do not rebel against us to by building an altar near to the altar of the Lord our God. Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel and the man punished not alone in his iniquity? Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the hundreds of Israel, the Lord God of gods he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion or in transgression against the Lord, save us not this day. That we have built us an altar to turn from following the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt offering, or sin meat offering or if to offer peace offering thereon, let the Lord himself require it. And if we have not rather done it in fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children shall speak unto our children saying what have we to do with the Lord out of Israel, for the Lord has made Jordan a border between us and you ye children of Reuben and children of Gad and you half tribe of Manasseh you have no part in the Lord, so shall you make your children cease from fearing the Lord.
