Joshua 22:23

Context
22:23 If we have built 1  an altar for ourselves to turn back from following the Lord by making 2  burnt sacrifices and grain offerings on it, or by offering 3  tokens of peace 4  on it, the Lord himself will punish us. 5 

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

2 tn Heb “or if to offer up.”

3 tn Heb “or if to make.”

4 tn Or “peace offerings.”

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