In context — Joshua 22:27
Rather, it is a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, so that we may serve the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, our sacrifices, and our peace offerings, that your sons may not say to our sons in days to come, “You have no portion in the LORD.”
