Das sei ferne von uns, daß wir uns gegen den Herrn auflehnen, daß wir uns heute von der Nachfolge des Herrn abwenden und einen Altar bauen für Brandopfer, für Speisopfer und für Schlachtopfer, außer dem Altar des Herrn , unsres Gottes, der vor seiner Wohnung steht!"
Fern sei es von uns, daß wir uns wider Jehova empören und uns heute von der Nachfolge Jehovas abwenden, indem wir einen Altar bauen für Brandopfer, für Speisopfer und für Schlachtopfer, außer dem Altar Jehovas, unseres Gottes, der vor seiner Wohnung ist!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
God forbid that we should rebel against the Lord,.... Against the command of the Lord, who ordered one altar to be made, to which all sacrifices were to be brought from the several parts of the land of Israel, and there to be offered on it; or
"against the Word of the Lord,''
as the Targum, Christ typified both by the altar and the sacrifices on it; and who is but one, one priest, one sacrifice, one altar, one Mediator and Saviour:
and turn this day from following the Lord; apostatize from him, and from his worship:
to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices; which was never our intention, or ever entered into our hearts to erect one for such a purpose:
besides the altar of the Lord our God, that [is] before his tabernacle; it standing in the court of the tabernacle before the holy place.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 22:29. God forbid that we should rebel — These words not only express their strong abhorrence of this crime, but also show that without God they could do no good thing, and that they depended upon him for that strength by which alone they could abstain from evil.
