In **Joshua 22**, the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, having fulfilled their vow to help conquer Canaan, are honorably dismissed by Joshua. As they return to their inheritance east of the Jordan, they build a large altar by the river, which is misinterpreted by the western tribes as an act of rebellion and idolatry. This misunderstanding nearly ignites a civil war, but through careful communication and a shared commitment to YHWH, the conflict is resolved, affirming the unity of Israel under God's covenant.
