And when they were come, G3854 and had gathered G4863 the church G1577 together, G4863 they rehearsed G312 all G3745 that God G2316 had done G4160 with them, and how he had opened G455 the door G2374 of faith G4102 to the Gentiles. G1484

Then the children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and the children H1121 of Gad H1410 and the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4519 answered, H6030 and said H1696 to the heads H7218 of the thousands H505 of Israel, H3478

That we have built H1129 us an altar H4196 to turn H7725 from following H310 the LORD, H3068 or if H518 to offer H5927 thereon H5921 burnt H5930 offering H4503 or meat offering, or if H518 to offer H6213 peace H8002 offerings H2077 thereon, H5921 let the LORD H3068 himself require H1245 it;

For the LORD H3068 has made H5414 Jordan H3383 a border H1366 between H996 us and you, you children H1121 of Reuben H7205 and children H1121 of Gad; H1410 you have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD: H3068 so shall your children H1121 make our children H1121 cease H7673 from fearing H3372 the LORD. H3068

But that it may be a witness H5707 between H996 us, and you, and our generations H1755 after H310 us, that we might do H5647 the service H5656 of the LORD H3068 before H6440 him with our burnt H5930 offerings, and with our sacrifices, H2077 and with our peace H8002 offerings; that your children H1121 may not say H559 to our children H1121 in time H4279 to come, H4279 You have no H369 part H2506 in the LORD. H3068

God forbid H2486 that we should rebel H4775 against the LORD, H3068 and turn H7725 this day H3117 from following H310 the LORD, H3068 to build H1129 an altar H4196 for burnt H5930 offerings, H4503 for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, H2077 beside H905 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 our God H430 that is before H6440 his tabernacle. H4908

And Phinehas H6372 the son H1121 of Eleazar H499 the priest H3548 said H559 to the children H1121 of Reuben, H7205 and to the children H1121 of Gad, H1410 and to the children H1121 of Manasseh, H4519 This day H3117 we perceive H3045 that the LORD H3068 is among H8432 us, because H834 you have not committed H4603 this H2088 trespass H4604 against the LORD: H3068 now H227 you have delivered H5337 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of the hand H3027 of the LORD. H3068

A soft H7390 answer H4617 turns H7725 away wrath: H2534 but grievous H6089 words H1697 stir H5927 up anger. H639

It seemed G1380 good to me also, G2504 having had perfect G199 understanding G3877 of all G3956 things from the very first, G509 to write G1125 to you in order, G2517 most G2903 excellent G2903 Theophilus, G2321
