God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

Verse 29 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.

Das sei ferne von uns, daß wir abtrünnig werden von dem HERRN, daß wir uns heute wollten von ihm wenden und einen Altar bauen zum Brandopfer und andern Opfern, außer dem Altar des HERRN, unsers Gottes, der vor seiner Wohnung steht.
Nunca tal acontezca que nos rebelemos contra Jehová, o que nos apartemos hoy de seguir a Jehová, edificando altar para holocaustos, para presente, o para sacrificio, a más del altar de Jehová nuestro Dios que está delante de su tabernáculo.
Lejos esté de nosotros rebelarnos contra Jehová y apartarnos hoy de seguir a Jehová, edificando un altar para holocausto, para ofrenda de cereal o para sacrificio, aparte del altar de Jehová nuestro Dios que está delante de su tabernáculo».
Loin de nous la pensée de nous révolter contre l'Eternel et de nous détourner aujourd'hui de l'Eternel, en bâtissant un autel pour des holocaustes, pour des offrandes et pour des sacrifices, outre l'autel de l'Eternel, notre Dieu, qui est devant sa demeure!
Tolga Iddio da noi che noi ci ribelliamo contro al Signore, e che oggi ci rivoltiamo indietro dal Signore, per edificare un altare per olocausto, per offerta, o per altro sacrificio, oltre all’Altare del Signore Iddio nostro, che è davanti al suo Tabernacolo
Nunca tal nos aconteça que nos rebelemos contra o SENHOR, ou que hoje nós abandonássemos o SENHOR, edificando altar para holocausto, oferta de alimentos ou sacrifício, fora do altar do SENHOR nosso Deus, que está perante o seu tabernáculo.
除了耶和華-我們上帝帳幕前的壇以外,我們絕沒有意思要為著獻燔祭、素祭和別樣的祭而另外築一座壇,悖逆耶和華,今日離棄不跟從他。」
