Josva 22,33

PeacePraise and worship

31 Og Pinehas, sønn av Eleasar, presten, sa til rubenittene, gadittene og Manasse: "I dag vet vi at Herren er med oss, fordi dere ikke har vært troløse mot Herren i denne saken. Nå har dere reddet israelittene fra Herrens hånd."

32 Så vendte Pinehas, sønn av Eleasar, presten, og lederne tilbake til Kanaan fra sitt møte med rubenittene og gadittene i Gilead og rapporterte tilbake til israelittene.

Israelittene ble glade for å høre rapporten og priste Gud. De snakket ikke mer om å gå til krig mot dem for å ødelegge landet der rubenittene og gadittene bodde.

34 Og rubenittene og gadittene kalte alteret Vitne; "For," sa de, "det er et vitne mellom oss at Herren er Gud."
