A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 26 is found in chapter 22 of Joshua. The eastern tribes explain that the altar was not built for sacrifices, but as a witness that they belong to the same people and worship the same God. They feared that future generations might regard the Jordan as a religious boundary and exclude their descendants from worship. The clarification transforms an apparent rebellion into a concern for preserving the memory of unity among geographically separated tribes.
