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

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,

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,

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,

This is a guilt offering, for you have been guilty of an offense against the Lord.”

But they rebelled against him and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.

And to this day the northern tribes of Israel have refused to be ruled by a descendant of David.

“ If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

If you turn away from him like this and he abandons them again in the wilderness, you will be responsible for destroying this entire nation!”

O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant, though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence.”

for they will lead your children away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and he will quickly destroy you.

How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live! They have melted down gold and made a calf, and they have bowed down and sacrificed to it. They are saying,‘ These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.

“ But if your heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are drawn away to serve and worship other gods,

Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings just anywhere you like.You may do so only at the place the Lord will choose within one of your tribal territories. There you must offer your burnt offerings and do everything I command you.

Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”

“ You must not bring the prisoners here!” they declared.“ We cannot afford to add to our sins and guilt. Our guilt is already great, and the Lord’s fierce anger is already turned against Israel.”

If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

For the men of Israel have married women from these people and have taken them as wives for their sons. So the holy race has become polluted by these mixed marriages. Worse yet, the leaders and officials have led the way in this outrage.”

But Joab replied,“ May the Lord increase the number of his people a hundred times over! But why, my lord the king, do you want to do this? Are they not all your servants? Why must you cause Israel to sin?”

They confronted King Uzziah and said,“ It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is the work of the priests alone, the descendants of Aaron who are set apart for this work. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have sinned. The Lord God will not honor you for this!”

“ But at last my people will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors for betraying me and being hostile toward me.

And yet today you are turning away from following the Lord. If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow.

“ Do not worship the Lord your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods.Rather, you must seek the Lord your God at the place of worship he himself will choose from among all the tribes— the place where his name will be honored.There you will bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, your sacred offerings, your offerings to fulfill a vow, your voluntary offerings, and your offerings of the firstborn animals of your herds and flocks.

When you face the Amalekites and Canaanites in battle, you will be slaughtered. The Lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the Lord.”

Then they will not be like their ancestors— stubborn, rebellious, and unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God.

“ Give them this command as well. If any native Israelite or foreigner living among you offers a burnt offering or a sacrificebut does not bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle to offer it to the Lord, that person will be cut off from the community.

So the whole community of Israel gathered at Shiloh and prepared to go to war against them.

After Amaziah turned away from the Lord, there was a conspiracy against his life in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But his enemies sent assassins after him, and they killed him there.

in the name of the Lord Jesus. You must call a meeting of the church. I will be present with you in spirit, and so will the power of our Lord Jesus.

Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven!

“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: If any of the people— men or women— betray the Lord by doing wrong to another person, they are guilty.

This letter is from Paul, an apostle. I was not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself and by God the Father, who raised Jesus from the dead.All the brothers and sisters here join me in sending this letter to the churches of Galatia.
