<sup>10</sup> And Joshua commandeth the authorities of the people, saying, <sup>11</sup> `Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess it.' ¹² And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying, ¹³ `Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you, and He hath given to you this land; <sup>14</sup> your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye—ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty ones of valour, and have helped them, <sup>15</sup> till that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan, at the sun-rising.'
<sup>16</sup> And they answer Joshua, saying, `All that thou hast commanded us we do; and unto every place whither thou dost send us, we go; ¹⁷ according to all that we hearkened unto Moses in, so we hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He hath been with Moses. ¹⁸ Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.'

¹⁰ And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David,

¹ A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd, I do not lack, ² In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me. ³ My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake, ⁴ Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff—they comfort me. ⁵ Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full! ⁶ Only—goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling is in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

¹² To number our days aright let us know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

¹ Thus said Jehovah: The heavens are My throne, And the earth My footstool, Where is this—the house that ye build for Me? And where is this—the place—My rest? ² And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word. ³ Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted. ⁴ I also—I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering, I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not—fixed.
⁵ Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word, Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you out, for My name's sake: `Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on your joy,' But they are ashamed. <sup>6</sup> A voice of noise is from the city, a voice from the temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies. <sup>7</sup> Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang cometh to her, She hath delivered a male. <sup>8</sup> Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath borne her sons. <sup>9</sup> `Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?' saith Jehovah, `Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have also restrained,' said thy God. <sup>10</sup> Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning for her, <sup>11</sup> So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted yourselves From the abundance of her honour. <sup>12</sup> For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on the knees ye are dandled. ¹³ As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you, Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted. ¹⁴ And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with His enemies.
¹⁵ For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in flames of fire. ¹⁶ For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.' ¹⁷ Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens, After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An affirmation of Jehovah. ¹⁸ And I—their works and their thoughts, I come to gather all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My honour. ¹⁹ And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations. ²⁰ And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah. ²¹ And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said Jehovah. ²² For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So remain doth your seed and your name. ²³ And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said Jehovah. ²⁴ And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an abhorrence to all flesh!

²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

¹⁶ because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

²¹ He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.

²² And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

¹ And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying, ² `Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man—one man out of a tribe; <sup>3</sup> and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this place, from the midst of the Jordan, from the established standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.' <sup>4</sup> And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out of the sons of Israel, one man—one man out of a tribe; <sup>5</sup> and Joshua saith to them, `Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, ⁶ so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What are these stones to you? ⁷ that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a memorial to the sons of Israel—to the age.'

²⁹ `Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day;
