the children:
This verse should probably be rendered, "And when they came to the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, Then built an altar by (or beyond, al) Jordan, a great altar to the view." It would appear, that when they came to the river, they formed the purpose of building the altar; and when they crossed it they put that purpose into execution. It is evident that they did not build it west of the Jordan, for that was not in their territories, and the next verse expressly says that it was built over against the land of Canaan.

built:
"For the LORDª hath madeª °¹ Jordanª a borderª between¹ us and you, ye childrenª of Reubenª and childrenª of Gad;ª ye have no¹ partª in the LORD:ª so shall your childrenª make² °¹ our childrenª ceaseª ° from² fearingª °¹ the LORD.ª ... Therefore saidª ° we, that it shall be,¹ when¹ they should [so] sayª ° to¹ us or to¹ our generationsª in time to come,ª that we may sayª ° [again], Beholdª °¹ the patternª of the altarª of the LORD,ª which¹ our fathersª made,ª ° not¹ for burnt offerings,ª nor¹ for sacrifices;ª but¹ it¹ [is] a witnessª between¹ us and you." {Jsh 22:25-28} + "And Joshuaª saidª ° unto them, Pass overª ° beforeª the arkª of the LORDª your Godª into¹ the midstª of Jordan,ª and take ye upª ° every² manª of you a¹ stoneª upon¹ his shoulder,ª according unto the numberª of the tribesª of the childrenª of Israel:ª ... And Joshuaª set upª ° twelveª ª stonesª in the midstª of Jordan,ª in the place¹ where the feetª of the priestsª which bareª ° the arkª of the covenantª stood:ª and they are¹ there¹ unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Jsh 4:5-9} + "And Joshuaª wroteª ° these¹ ¹ wordsª in the bookª of the lawª of God,ª and tookª ° a greatª stone,ª and set it upª ° there¹ under¹ an oak,ª that¹ [was] by the sanctuaryª of the LORD.ª ... And Joshuaª saidª ° unto¹ all¹ the people,ª Behold,¹ this¹ stoneª shall be¹ a witnessª unto us; for¹ it¹ hath heardª °¹ all¹ the wordsª of the LORDª which¹ he spakeª ° unto¹ us: it shall be¹ therefore a witnessª unto you, lest¹ ye denyª ° your God.ª" {Jsh 24:26-27} + "And Jacobª rose up earlyª ° in the morning,ª and tookª °¹ the stoneª that¹ he had putª ° [for] his pillows,ª and set it upª °¹ [for] a pillar,ª and pouredª ° oilª upon¹ the top¹ of it.²" {Gen 28:18} + "And Jacobª saidª ° unto his brethren,ª Gatherª ° stones;ª and they tookª ° stones,ª and madeª ° an heap:ª and they did eatª ° there¹ upon¹ the heap.ª ... This¹ heapª [be] witness,ª and [this] pillarª [be] witness,ª that¹ I¹ will not¹ pass overª °¹ this¹ heapª to¹ thee, and that¹ thou¹ shalt not¹ pass overª °¹ this¹ heapª and this¹ pillarª unto¹ me, for harm.ª" {Gen 31:46-52}
