A moment of tension arises as the eastern tribes—Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh—return to their land across the Jordan River. Before departing, they build a large altar, which raises concerns among the other Israelites who perceive it as a potential act of rebellion against God. This chapter highlights the importance of communication and understanding within the community of faith. The western tribes confront the eastern tribes, seeking clarification about the altar's purpose. The eastern tribes explain that the altar is not for sacrifices but a memorial to ensure future generations remember their connection to the Lord and their shared heritage. This narrative emphasizes the themes of unity, misunderstanding, and the importance of maintaining relationships within the body of believers. The resolution of this conflict reinforces the idea that God's people must work together to uphold His covenant and ensure that their actions reflect their commitment to Him.
