What does the Bible say about the altar called Ed?

Answered in 1 source

The altar called Ed in Joshua 22 serves as a witness of the connection between the tribes and acknowledgment that the Lord is God.

The altar called Ed, constructed by the children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, signifies a testimony of their faith and mutual relationship with the Lord. It is described in Joshua 22:34 as an altar of witness, not intended for sacrifices but rather as a reminder that the Lord is God. This underscores the significance of maintaining unity and remembrance among the tribes, reflecting the unity in Christ as believers today. The altar serves as a connector between the tribes and their shared covenant relationship with God, emphasizing that all acts of worship ultimately point back to the one true altar, Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate and the fulfillment of the sacrificial system.
