⁹ Only ^(A)do not rebel against the Lord, ^(B)nor fear the people of the land, for ^(C)they^[a] are our bread; their protection has departed from them, ^(D)and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”

^19 [a]Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, ^(A)where the Lord’s tabernacle stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of the Lord our God.
