📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse concludes the story of a near civil war among the Israelite tribes. The eastern tribes (Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh) had built an altar by the Jordan River, which the western tribes initially thought was an act of rebellion against God. After sending a delegation to investigate, they discovered the altar was actually built as a witness to future generations that the eastern tribes also belonged to the Lord, not for forbidden sacrifices.
