To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, that, immediately after dividing the land among the tribes of Israel for their inherit- ance, Joshua called together the Reubenites, and Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and after acknowledging the loyal spirit in which they had stood by their brethren in the wars of Canaan, sent them away with his blessing to their own homes on the other side of Jordan. Soon after they left, tidings were brought to the other tribes that on their way to Gilead they had built a large altar in the valle...y of the Jordan. Now mark the effect which this information produced upon their minds. If there had been no such law as that which we find in Deut. Xii. , this must have seemed to them the most natural thing in the world, that their brethren, when going to reside at a distance from them, should build an altar on their own territory, at which they might conveniently worship. In- stead of that they were filled with sorrow and indignation, and, preparing to make war with their brethren about it in case expostulation should prove unavailing, they sent ten of their chief men, along with Phinehas, the high priest's son, to remonstrate with them on the sin of which they were guilty.
