TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD
Lessons From a Misunderstanding
The tribes living east of the Jordan built a large, impressive altar (Jos 22:10)
The other tribes accused them of unfaithfulness (Jos 22:12, 15, 16; w06 4/15 5 ¶3)
The mild response of those wrongfully accused averted bloodshed (Jos 22:21-30; w08 11/15 18 ¶5)
What does this account teach us about how to react if we are wrongfully accused and about the importance of not drawing conclusions when we do not know the facts?—Pr 15:1; 18:13.
