NASB
""Therefore we said, 'Let us build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;"
— Joshua 22:26, NASB
“Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:”
“Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice: ”
“"Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;”
“So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,”
“And said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, nor to offer victims,”
“So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:”
“Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:”
"If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD, or if to offer a burnt offering or grain offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, may the LORD Himself require it.
"But truly we have done this out of concern, for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your sons may say to our sons, "What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
"For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you sons of Reuben and sons of Gad; you have no portion in the LORD." So your sons may make our sons stop fearing the LORD.'
"Therefore we said, 'Let us build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;
rather it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'
"Therefore we said, 'It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, "See the copy of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather it is a witness between us and you."'
"Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD and turn away from following the LORD this day, by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."
