Jos 22:13 | MHM | STEP | v.13-14 : Even though they were very zealous, Israel acted with wisdom. Instead of attacking right away, they sent a group of leaders, including Phinehas the priest, to talk with the eastern tribes and find out the truth ( v. 13,14; Deuteronomy 13:14 ). This careful investigation showed both their commitment to God and their desire to be fair and just.
