Joshua 22:19

¹⁹However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of the LORD, in which the LORD’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the LORD our God’s altar.

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.
