Contextual Overview
10 When the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe arrived in the area of the land of Kena‘an near the Yarden, they built an altar there by the Yarden, a large, impressive altar. 11 The people of Isra'el heard of it and said, "Look! The descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh have built an altar by the frontier of the land of Kena‘an, in the area by the Yarden, on the side that belongs to the people of Isra'el." 12 When the people of Isra'el heard of it, the entire community of Isra'el gathered together in Shiloh to wage war against them. 13 The people of Isra'el sent Pinchas the son of El‘azar the cohen into the land of Gil‘ad to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh. 14 With him were ten leaders, one leader of an ancestral clan for each of the tribes of Isra'el; each one was a head of his ancestral clan among the thousands of Isra'el. 15 They came to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh in the land of Gil‘ad and spoke with them; they said, 16 "Here is what the whole community of Adonai is saying: ‘What is this treachery that you have committed against the God of Isra'el, turning away today from following Adonai , in that you have built yourselves an altar, thus rebelling today against Adonai ? 17 Is the guilt we incurred at P‘or not enough for us? We haven't cleansed ourselves from it to this day, even though a plague came on the community of Adonai . 18 Is this why you have to turn away today from following Adonai ? If you rebel against Adonai today, he will be angry tomorrow with the whole community of Isra'el. 19 If the land you have taken possession of is unclean, then cross back over into the land which belongs to Adonai , where the tabernacle of Adonai is located, and take a possession among us. But don't rebel against Adonai , and don't rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of Adonai our God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us,.... The worshipping of that idol, when in the plains of Moab; the history of which, see in Numbers 25:2, was that so small a sin, that another must be added to it, or a greater committed? since building an altar seemed designed not for a single action of idolatrous worship, but for the continuance of it, whereas the sin of Peor was only committed at one time, and not continued in:
from which we are not cleansed until this day; not cleared from the shame and disgrace of it, or the guilt of it expiated or removed; but it might be expected, as in the case of the golden calf, that God would still at times punish for it, when provoked by new crimes; or the sense is, that there were those among them that were infected with the same contagion, and whose inclinations were to commit the same, or like sin of idolatry:
although there was a plague in congregation of the Lord; of which twenty four thousand died, Numbers 25:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
From which we are not cleansed until this day - Phinehas, who had borne a conspicuous part in vindicating the cause of God against those who fell away to Baal-peor, means that terrible as the punishment had been, there were still those among them who hankered after Baal worship, and even practiced it in secret. (Compare Joshuaâs words, Joshua 24:14-23.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 22:17. Is the iniquity of Peor too little — See this history, Numbers 25:3, c., and the notes there. Phinehas takes it for granted that this altar was built in opposition to the altar of God erected by Moses, and that they intended to have a separate service, priesthood, &c., which would be rebellion against God, and bring down his curse on them and their posterity and, in order to show that God is jealous of his glory, he refers to the business of Baal Peor, which took place in that very country they were now about to possess, the destructive consequences of which he, through his zeal for the glory of God, was the means of preventing.
