যোশুয়া 22:28

ভবিষ্যতে যদি তোমাদের বংশধররা বলে আমরা কেউ ইস্রায়েলীয় নই তখন আমাদের বংশধররা বলবে, ‘ঐ দেখো আমাদের পিতারা এই বৈদী তৈরী করে দিয়েছেন| এই বেদী পবিত্র তাঁবুতে প্রভুর য়ে বেদী আছে হুবহু তারই মতো| এই বেদী আমরা কোন কিছু উত্সর্গ করার জন্য করি নি, আমরা য়ে ইস্রায়েলবাসী তারই প্রমাণ হিসাবে আমরা এটি নির্মাণ করেছি|’
