In response, the Cisjordanian tribes assemble to wage war, yet a civil war is averted when they learn that this altar serves no sacrificial purpose. This article argues that Joshua 22 is the product of a base layer, an account of the Transjordanian tribes erecting an altar by the River Jordan, and a supplemental layer that revises and reshapes the cultic function of this altar.</p>}, journal={The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures}, author={Yoo, Philip Y.}, year={2018}, month={Jan.} }
