⁹ Only do not rebel^(A) against the Lord. And do not be afraid^(B) of the people of the land,^(C) because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with^(D) us.^(E) Do not be afraid of them.”^(F)

¹⁹ If the land you possess is defiled, come over to the Lord’s land, where the Lord’s tabernacle^(A) stands, and share the land with us. But do not rebel against the Lord or against us by building an altar^(B) for yourselves, other than the altar of the Lord our God.
