“Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:”
Joshua 22:26 (KJV)
Commentary on Joshua 22:26
Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice—The eastern tribes explicitly state their intent: this altar's purpose is NOT sacrificial. The Hebrew phrase "not for burnt offering" (לֹא לְעֹלָה, lo l'olah) and "nor for sacrifice" (וְלֹא לְזָבַח, v'lo l'zevach) categorically excludes the altar from Levitical cultic use.The verb "prepare" (עָשָׂה, asah, to make or do) indicates deliberate planning—this was not an impulsive decision but a carefully considered strategy to preserve covenant identity for future generations.
