John Gill Commentary Joshua 22:29

"Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle." — Joshua 22:29 (ASV)

God forbid that we should rebel against the Lord Against the command of the Lord, who ordered one altar to be made, to which all sacrifices were to be brought from the several parts of the land of Israel, and there to be offered on it; or ``against the Word of the Lord,'' as the Targum, Christ typified both by the altar and the sacrifices on it; and who is but one, one priest, one sacrifice, one altar, one Mediator and Saviour:

and turn this day from following the Lord ; apostatize from him, and from his worship:

to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices ; which was never our intention, or ever entered into our hearts to erect one for such a purpose:

besides the altar of the Lord our God, that [is] before his tabernacle ; it standing in the court of the tabernacle before the holy place.
