Joshua 22:17

Context
22:17 The sin we committed at Peor was bad enough. To this very day we have not purified ourselves; it even brought a plague on the community of the Lord. 1 

Joshua 22:23

Context
22:23 If we have built 2  an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making 3  burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering 4  tokens of peace 5  on it, the Lord himself will punish us. 6 

1 tn Heb “Was the sin of Peor too insignificant for us, from which we have not made purification to this day? And there was a plague in the assembly of the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “by building.” The prepositional phrase may be subordinated to what precedes, “if in unfaithfulness…by building.”

3 tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

4 tn Heb “or if to make.”

5 tn Or “peace offerings.”

6 tn Heb “the Lord, he will seek.” Perhaps this is a self-imprecation in an oath, “may the Lord himself punish us.”
