An Unauthorized Altar is Constructed

¹⁰ After they arrived at an area of the Jordan River that is in the land of Canaan, the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh constructed an altar there by the Jordan River, and it was very large. ¹¹ When the Israelis heard about it, they announced, “Look here, the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have constructed an altar in Canaan’s frontier district of the Jordan River, on the side apportioned to the Israelis.” ¹² When the Israelis heard that announcement,^[a] the entire community of the Israelis gathered together at Shiloh in preparation for war.
