- 因此我们说,不如为自己筑一座坛,不是为献燔祭,也不是为献别的祭,
- 乃是为你我中间和你我后人中间作证据,好叫我们也在耶和华面前献燔祭,平安祭,和别的祭事奉他,免得你们的子孙日后对我们的子孙说,你们与耶和华无分了。
- 所以我们说,日后你们对我们,或对我们的后人这样说,我们就可以回答说,你们看我们列祖所筑的坛是耶和华坛的样式。这并不是为献燔祭,也不是为献别的祭,乃是为作你我中间的证据。
- 我们在耶和华我们神帐幕前的坛以外,另筑一座坛,为献燔祭,素祭,和别的祭,悖逆耶和华,今日转去不跟从他,我们断没有这个意思。
- 祭司非尼哈与会中的首领,就是与他同来以色列军中的统领,听见流便人,迦得人,玛拿西人所说的话,就都以为美。

- 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.
