Jesus dismisses the eastern tribes§1

1 Jesus calls Reubenites, Gadites, half-Manasseh — praises their obedience. Return to your tents with riches. Brotherly peace after shared war.

Latin · §1

Vocavit Iesus Rubenitas Gadditas dimidiam Manasse — laudavit oboedientiam. Revertimini ad tabernacula cum divitiis. Fraterna pax post commune bellum.

Altar of witness by the Jordan§2

2They build a great altar by the Jordan — a scandal. Phinehas is sent. Not rebellion but witness: The Lord is our God.

Latin · §2

Aedificant altare ingens iuxta Iordanen — scandalum. Phinees mittitur. Non in rebellionem sed testimonium: Dominus Deus noster.

Witness that the Lord is God§3

3 They named the altar Witness. Peace restored. One God on both banks. Amen.

Latin · §3

Vocaverunt altare Witness — Testimonium. Pax restaurata. Unus Deus utriusque ripae. Amen.
