- 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 build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;
- rather it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'
- "Therefore we said, 'It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, "See the copy of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather it is a witness between us and you."'
- "Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD and turn away from following the LORD this day, by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle."
- So when Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
