Joshua 22:24
But in fact we have done this for fear that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the Lord God of Israel?
Note In time…: Heb. To morrow
“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
and if we have not rather out of carefulness done this, and of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?
