Joshua 22:24
"that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let the LORD himself require it."
Key Reflection
This verse highlights the potential for Israelites to lapse into idolatrous practices by building their own altars and making offerings, which would turn away from the true worship of the Lord. Such actions would be seen as rebellious and unnecessary if the proper altar in the tabernacle was still available for sacrifices.
