BIBLE MESSAGE
Welcome back to
Daily Bread and our study of the Old Testament stories of the book of
Joshua. At last the land was all divided and there was peace in the land
all around, so Joshua commended the men of war of the Reubenites, the
Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh for keeping their word and
staying to defend their brethren until the bitter end of conquering the
Promised Land. He then dismissed them with a blessing to go to their
land beyond (east of) the Jordan and reunite with their families and
possessions there.
It came to pass,
that when they came to the Jordan, they built an altar there as a sign
of their relationship with the people, their brethren, on the other side
of the river.

AVOIDING SIBLING RIVALRY BIBLE VERSES SUMMARY
When the Israelites
on the west side of the Jordan heard that they had built an altar, and
assuming it was for the worship of strange gods, they armed themselves,
as for war, and approached them with an accusation.
The Hebrews from the
east side of the Jordan explained their motives for building the altar,
that it might be a sign of their unity, and that their children might
never say to one another in the future that they don't belong to God.
This pleased the
Hebrews from west of the Jordan, and they returned home, with no
incident between them. The altar was then named Ed, which means:
A witness between us that the Lord is God.
