Joshua 22:26
"For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in the LORD.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing the LORD."
Key Reflection
This statement underscores the division between the tribes of Reuben and Gad, who settled east of the Jordan River, and the rest of Israel. By emphasizing that they have no portion in the LORD without crossing back west of the Jordan, it warns against becoming spiritually isolated from the main community, potentially leading to a lack of faith transmission among future generations.
