- 因此我們說、不如為自己築一座壇、不是為獻燔祭、也不是為獻別的祭、
- 乃是為你我中間、和你我後人中間作證據.好叫我們也在耶和華面前獻燔祭、平安祭、和別的祭事奉他、免得你們的子孫、日後對我們的子孫說、你們與耶和華無分了。
- 所以我們說、日後你們對我們、或對我們的後人這樣說、我們就可以回答說、你們看我們列祖所築的壇、是耶和華壇的樣式、這並不是為獻燔祭、也不是為獻別的祭、乃是為作你我中間的證據。
- 我們在耶和華我們 神帳幕前的壇以外、另築一座壇、為獻燔祭、素祭、和別的祭、悖逆耶和華、今日轉去不跟從他、我們斷沒有這個意思。
- 祭司非尼哈與會中的首領、就是與他同來以色列軍中的統領、聽見流便人、迦得人、瑪拿西人所說的話、就都以為美。

- Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
- But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
- Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
- God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
- And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
