Joshua22:16
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord , What trespass is this , that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
Who do and are resolved to cleave unto that God from whom you have revolted, and who speak this to you in the name of the Lord.
How heinous a crime is this!
i. e. so soon after God hath obliged you by such wonderful favours, and when God is now conducting you home to reap the fruits of all your pains and hazards.
With a design to revolt from, and rebel against God, and against his express command of worshipping him at one onely Altar, Exo. l. 20. 24. Levit. 17. 8, 9. Deut. 12. 5, 11, 13.
