Those leaders went to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Those tribes were in the land of Gilead. The leaders said to them,

皆至基列地、見流便人、迦得人、及瑪拿西半支派人、曰、

When they went to Gilead— to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh— they said to them:

And they came to the people of Reuben, the people of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they said to them,

When they arrived in the land of Gilead, they said to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

They went to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and told them,

They came to the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

Then they came to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half- tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

They went to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and told them,

And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

They went to the land of Gilead to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and said to them:

They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half- tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

It is a guilt offering. They have been guilty of doing wrong against me.”

But they refused to obey him. They made his Holy Spirit sad. So he turned against them and became their enemy. He himself fought against them.

Israel has refused to follow the royal family of David to this day.

Forgive other people when they sin against you. If you do, your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you.But if you do not forgive the sins of other people, your Father will not forgive your sins.

What if you turn away from following him? Then he’ll leave all these people in the desert again. And it will be your fault when they are destroyed.”

Lord, you are the God of Israel. You are holy. You always do what is right. Today you have left many of your people alive. Here we are with all our guilt. You see the guilt of our sin. Because we have sinned, not one of us can stand in front of you.”

If you do, those people will turn your children away from serving the Lord. Then your children will serve other gods. The Lord will be very angry with you. He will quickly destroy you.

They have quickly turned away from what I commanded them. They have made themselves a metal statue of a god in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down and sacrificed to it. And they have said,‘ Israel, here is your god who brought you up out of Egypt.’

Brothers and sisters, I make my appeal to you. I do this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask that all of you agree with one another in what you say. I ask that you don’t take sides. I ask that you are in complete agreement in all that you think.

Don’t let your hearts turn away from the Lord. Instead, obey him. Don’t let yourselves be drawn away to other gods. And don’t bow down to them and worship them.

Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you want to.Offer them only at the place the Lord will choose in one of your tribes. There you must obey everything I command you.

Refusing to obey the Lord is as sinful as using evil magic. Being proud is as evil as worshiping statues of gods. You have refused to do what the Lord told you to do. So he has refused to have you as king.”

“ Don’t bring those prisoners here,” they said.“ If you do, we’ll be guilty in the sight of the Lord. Do you really want to add to our sin and guilt? We’re already very guilty. The Lord is very angry with Israel.”

But what if they also refuse to listen to the witnesses? Then tell it to the church. And what if they refuse to listen even to the church? Then don’t treat them as a brother or sister. Treat them as you would treat an ungodly person or a tax collector.

The men of Israel have married the daughters of some of those people. They’ve also taken some of those women for their sons to marry. So they’ve mixed our holy nation with the nations around us. We leaders and officials have also married women who don’t worship the Lord. By doing this, we have led the way in breaking our covenant with the Lord.”

Joab replied,“ May the Lord multiply his troops 100 times. King David, you are my master. Aren’t all the men under your control? Why would you want me to count them? Do you want to make Israel guilty?”

They stood up to Uzziah. They said,“ Uzziah, it isn’t right for you to burn incense to the Lord. Only the priests are supposed to do that. They are members of the family line of Aaron. They have been set apart to burn incense. So get out of here. Leave the temple. You haven’t been faithful. The Lord God won’t honor you.”

“‘ But suppose you admit that both you and your people who lived before you have sinned. You admit the evil and dishonest things you have done against me. And you admit you have become my enemy.

Are you turning away from the Lord now?“ Suppose you disobey the Lord today. If you do, he’ll be angry with the whole community of Israel tomorrow.

You must not worship the Lord your God the way those nations worship their gods.Instead, go to the special place he will choose from among all your tribes. He will put his Name there. That’s where you must go.Take your burnt offerings and sacrifices to that place. Bring your special gifts and a tenth of everything you produce. Take with you what you have promised to give. Bring any other offerings you choose to give. And bring the male animals among your livestock that were born first to their mothers.

The Amalekites and the Canaanites will meet you on the field of battle. You have turned away from the Lord. So he won’t be with you. And you will be killed by swords.”

They would not be like their people who lived long ago. Those people were stubborn. They refused to obey God. They turned away from him. Their spirits were not faithful to him.

“ Tell them,‘ Suppose someone offers a burnt offering or sacrifice. It does not matter whether they are an Israelite or an outsider.And suppose they do not bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to sacrifice it to me. Then they must be separated from their people.

So the whole community of Israel gathered together at Shiloh. They decided to go to war against the eastern tribes.

Amaziah turned away from obeying the Lord. From that time on, some people made evil plans against him in Jerusalem. So he ran away to Lachish. But they sent men after him to Lachish. There they killed him.

So when you come together, I will be with you in spirit. The power of our Lord Jesus will also be with you.

Be sure that you don’t say no to the one who speaks. People did not escape when they said no to the one who warned them on earth. And what if we turn away from the one who warns us from heaven? How much less will we escape!

“ Speak to the Israelites. Say to them,‘ Suppose a man or woman does something wrong to someone else. Then that person is not being faithful to the Lord. People like that are guilty.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I am an apostle. People have not sent me. No human authority has sent me. I have been sent by Jesus Christ and by God the Father. God raised Jesus from the dead.All the brothers and sisters who are with me join me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of the churches in Galatia.
