by_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n who_o come_v together_o at_o shiloh_n and_o set_v up_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o congregation_n there_o for_o the_o levite_n have_v no_o part_n among_o the_o people_n but_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v their_o inheritance_n ch_n 18._o 7._o for_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v by_o moses_n to_o give_v they_o city_n to_o dwell_v in_o with_o the_o suburb_n thereof_o and_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n give_v to_o the_o levite_n out_o of_o their_o inheritance_n at_o the_o commandment_n of_o

immortal_a renown_n of_o joshua_n we_o shall_v observe_v he_o and_o god_n great_a displeasure_n against_o such_o as_o withhold_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v devote_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o ch_n 6._o 24._o the_o silver_n and_o the_o gold_n and_o other_o ornament_n be_v to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o achan_n a_o sacrilegious_a person_n

and_o set_v up_o a_o diverse_a altar_n be_v the_o worst_a sort_n of_o sacrilege_n achan_n withhold_v only_o some_o ornament_n these_o withdraw_v the_o soul_n of_o god_n people_n from_o his_o service_n and_o in_o this_o case_n the_o child_n of_o israel_n declare_v themselves_o enemy_n to_o the_o reubenites_n who_o they_o apprehend_v to_o separate_v from_o the_o establish_a worship_n at_o shiloh_n for_o they_o have_v make_v not_o only_o a_o very_a great_a altar_n but_o make_v it_o after_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o lord_n v._o 28._o and_o not_o after_o the_o fashion_n of_o a_o altar_n of_o memorial_n ch_n 22._o 10._o and_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o build_n of_o it_o be_v lest_o their_o land_n shall_v be_v think_v unclean_a v._o 19_o and_o lest_o the_o child_n of_o

at_o shiloh_n but_o only_o as_o a_o memorial_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v their_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o call_v the_o name_n of_o it_o ed_n i._n e._n a_o witness_n of_o god_n wonderful_a work_n and_o mercy_n to_o they_o you_o see_v here_o what_o apprehension_n the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v of_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o mischief_n of_o separation_n they_o account_v it_o first_o a_o rebellion_n against_o god_n for_o god_n be_v one_o aught_o to_o have_v a_o uniform_a worship_n multiplicity_n of_o form_n in_o god_n public_a worship_n will_v bring_v a_o contempt_n of_o all_o and_o from_o many_o the_o people_n will_v relapse_n to_o none_o of_o which_o both_o israel_n and_o england_n have_v have_v sad_a experience_n and_o this_o separation_n from_o the_o true_a and_o toleration_n of_o false_a worship_n bring_v the_o israelite_n to_o downright_a idolatry_n against_o which_o joshua_n so_o earnest_o exhort_v the_o israelite_n in_o the_o four_o last_o chapter_n second_o

reubenites_n be_v not_o only_a rebellion_n against_o the_o lord_n but_o against_o they_o v._o 19_o and_o a_o likely_a mean_n to_o perpetuate_v division_n and_o discord_n between_o their_o succeed_a
