JOSHUA—NOTE ON Joshua 22:13 Fearing that the altar means the eastern tribes have strayed from following God, the tribes west of the Jordan send a group to confront them. Phinehas the son of Eleazar. See Numbers 25:1. Given its communal responsibility, all Israel can suffer for the sins of a few or even just one. The group rightly fears that the Lord may become angry with the whole congregation of Israel (Joshua 22:18).
