Bible Comments

But ye must turn away this day Commit more sins of that nature. For whether they intended to worship other gods, or to worship the God of Israel in a manner he did not allow, it was idolatry, in the judgment of Phinehas. Ye rebel to-day, to-morrow he will be wroth That is, soon and suddenly, as the expression often signifies. With the whole congregation With you for doing so, and with us for suffering or not punishing it.

Joshua 22:18

18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
