¹ And this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. As for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. ² So it was for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida.

And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ⁴ And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers. Therefore according to the commandment of LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father. ⁵ And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan, ⁶ because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh. ⁷ And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem. And the border went along to the right hand, to the inhabitants of En-tappuah. ⁸ The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim. ⁹ And the border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. And the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook. And the goings out of it were at the sea. ¹⁰ Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border, and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east. ¹¹ And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.

And the goings out of it were at the sea. ⁴ And the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. ⁵ And the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, to Beth-horon the upper, ⁶ and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah, ⁷ and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan. ⁸ From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah. And the goings out of it were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families, ⁹ together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. ¹⁰ And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do task work.

⁸ The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim. ⁹ And the border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook. These cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh. And the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook. And the goings out of it were at the sea. ¹⁰ Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border, and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east.

¹⁴ And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, inasmuch as until now LORD has blessed me? ¹⁵ And Joshua said to them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee. ¹⁶ And the sons of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel. ¹⁷ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou are a great people, and have great power. Thou shall not have only one lot, ¹⁸ but the hill-country shall be thine, for though it is a forest, thou shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be thine. For thou shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.

³² And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because LORD has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me.

³ Reuben, thou are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power. ⁴ Boiling over as water, thou shall not have the pre-eminence, because thou went up to thy father's bed, then thou defiled it; he went up to my couch.

¹⁵ And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families. ¹⁶ And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba; ¹⁷ Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, ¹⁸ and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, ¹⁹ and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley, ²⁰ and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, ²¹ and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the rulers of Sihon who dwelt in the land.

This is the border of the sons of Judah round about according to their families. ¹³ And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the commandment of LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba. Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron). ¹⁴ And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak. ¹⁵ And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. ¹⁶ And Caleb said, He who smites Kiriath-sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter to wife. ¹⁷ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. ¹⁸ And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she alighted from off her donkey, and Caleb said, What would thou? ¹⁹ And she said, Give me a blessing, because thou have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. ²⁰ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families. ²¹ And the outermost cities of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were thus: Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, ²² and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, ²³ and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, ²⁴ Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, ²⁵ and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (the same is Hazor), ²⁶ Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, ²⁷ and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet, ²⁸ and Hazar-shual, and Beersheba, and Biziothiah, ²⁹ Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem, ³⁰ and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, ³¹ and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, ³² and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon.

⁶ Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities. Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed. The stakes of which shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of the cords of it be broken. ²¹ But LORD will be with us there in majesty. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, nor shall a gallant ship pass thereby. ²² For LORD is our judge. LORD is our lawgiver. LORD is our king, he will save us.

¹ Moreover, when ye shall divide the land by lot for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation to LORD, a holy portion of the land. The length shall be the length of twenty-five thousand measures, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. It shall be holy in all the border of it round about. ² Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred by five hundred square round about, and fifty cubits for the suburbs of it round about. ³ And of this measure thou shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand. And the sanctuary shall be in it, which is most holy. ⁴ It is a holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to LORD, and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. ⁵ And twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession to themselves, for twenty chambers. ⁶ And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel.

²¹ And the residue shall be for the ruler, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the twenty-five thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions. It shall be for the ruler. And the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst of it.

³⁵ It shall be eighteen thousand measures round about. And the name of the city from that day shall be, LORD is there.

¹¹ And many nations shall join themselves to LORD in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me to thee. ¹² And LORD shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

¹⁶ And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God, just as God said, I will dwell in them, and will walk among them. And I will be their God, and they will be a people to me.

²⁰ Which was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner, ²¹ in whom the whole building joined together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in whom ye also are built together in Spirit into a habitation of God.

⁹ Because in him all the fullness of the divinity dwells bodily.

³ And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.

²² And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb.

³ And there will be no curse there. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his bondmen will serve him.

¹ And LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, ² Command the sons of Israel, that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. And ye shall give suburbs for the cities round about them to the Levites. ³ And they shall have the cities to dwell in, and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts. ⁴ And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about. ⁵ And ye shall measure outside the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. ⁶ And of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, there shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee to. And besides them ye shall give forty-two cities. ⁷ All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, them with their suburbs. ⁸ And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye shall take many, and from the few ye shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites. ⁹ And LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹ Then the heads of fathers of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel. ² And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, LORD commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs of it for our cattle. ³ And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of LORD, these cities with their suburbs: ⁴ And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. ⁵ And the rest of the sons of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. ⁶ And the sons of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. ⁷ The sons of Merari according to their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities. ⁸ And the sons of Israel gave these cities by lot to the Levites with their suburbs, as LORD commanded by Moses. ⁹ And they gave out of the tribe of the sons of Judah, and out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name, ¹⁰ and they were for the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the sons of Levi, for theirs was the first lot. ¹¹ And they gave them Kiriath-arba, Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah, with the suburbs of it round about it. ¹² But the fields of the city, and the villages of it, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. ¹³ And to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Libnah with its suburbs, ¹⁴ and Jattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, ¹⁵ and Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs, ¹⁶ and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes. ¹⁷ And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its suburbs, Geba with its suburbs, ¹⁸ Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities. ¹⁹ All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs. ²⁰ And the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, even the rest of the sons of Kohath, they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. ²¹ And they gave them Shechem with its suburbs in the hill-country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer with its suburbs, ²² and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth-horon with its suburbs; four cities. ²³ And out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its suburbs, ²⁴ Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; four cities. ²⁵ And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; two cities. ²⁶ All the cities of the families of the rest of the sons of Kohath were ten with their suburbs. ²⁷ And to the sons of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the half-tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Be-eshterah with its suburbs; two cities. ²⁸ And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its suburbs, Daberath with its suburbs, ²⁹ Jarmuth with its suburbs, En-gannim with its suburbs; four cities. ³⁰ And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs, ³¹ Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob with its suburbs; four cities. ³² And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Hammoth-dor with its suburbs, and Kartan with its suburbs; three cities. ³³ All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs. ³⁴ And to the families of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its suburbs, and Kartah with its suburbs, ³⁵ Dimnah with its suburbs, Nahalal with its suburbs; four cities. ³⁶ And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its suburbs, and Jahaz with its suburbs, ³⁷ Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs; four cities. ³⁸ And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs, ³⁹ Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all. ⁴⁰ All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities. ⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs. ⁴² These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them. Thus it was with all these cities. ⁴³ So LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers, and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. ⁴⁴ And LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore to their fathers. And there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. ⁴⁵ There failed not anything of any good thing which LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.

²⁸ And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance. And ye shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.

⁴ It is a holy portion of the land. It shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to LORD, and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary.

¹⁰ no bag for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staffs, for the workman is worthy of his provision.

¹³ Know ye not that those being employed at the sacred things eat from the temple, and those who serve at the altar are partakers at the altar? ¹⁴ And so the Lord commanded those who proclaim the good news to live from the good news.

⁴⁶ And the chamber whose view is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to LORD to minister to him.

¹⁹ Thou shall give to the priests the Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says the lord LORD, a young bullock for a sin offering.

¹⁰ But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

¹⁵ But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister to me. And they shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood, says the lord LORD: ¹⁶ they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my charge.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd is made known, ye will receive the unfading crown of glory.

¹⁰ Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

²¹ but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to LORD, as a field set apart; the possession of it shall be the priest's.

¹⁹ Take heed to thyself that thou not forsake the Levite as long as thou live in thy land.

³ And of this measure thou shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand. And the sanctuary shall be in it, which is most holy.

⁵ And twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be to the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession to themselves, for twenty chambers.

⁷ And remain in the same house eating and drinking from their things, for the workman is worthy of his wage. Do not depart from house to house.

²⁹ Thou shall not delay to offer from thy harvest, and from the outflow of thy presses. The firstborn of thy sons thou shall give to me.

²⁰ And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave offering before LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to LORD for the priest.

³⁴ But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

⁹ And if it be a beast, of which men offer an oblation to LORD, all that any man gives of such to LORD shall be holy. ¹⁰ He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. And if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

²⁸ Notwithstanding, nothing set apart, that a man shall set apart to LORD of all that he has, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; everything set apart is most holy to LORD.

³² And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to LORD. ³³ He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it. And if he changes it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

¹² And it shall be to them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye rob me. But ye say, How have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with the curse, for ye rob me, even this whole nation. ¹⁰ Bring ye the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now with this, says LORD of hosts, if I will not open to you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for it.

²⁶ Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

²⁰ He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

²³ And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

⁶ And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and twenty-five thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion. It shall be for the whole house of Israel.

¹⁵ but if I delay, that thou may know how it is necessary to live in a house of God, which is a congregation of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

¹⁶ And the city lies foursquare, and the length of it is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs, the length and the breadth and the height of it being equal.

²⁷ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of LORD to this day in the place which he should choose.

⁴³ The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, ⁴⁴ the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, ⁴⁵ the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Akkub, ⁴⁶ the sons of Hagab, the sons of Shamlai, the sons of Hanan, ⁴⁷ the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, the sons of Reaiah, ⁴⁸ the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, the sons of Gazzam, ⁴⁹ the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, the sons of Besai, ⁵⁰ the sons of Asnah, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephisim, ⁵¹ the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, ⁵² the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, ⁵³ the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, ⁵⁴ the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha. ⁵⁵ The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Hassophereth, the sons of Peruda, ⁵⁶ the sons of Jaalah, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel, ⁵⁷ the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the sons of Ami. ⁵⁸ All the Nethinim and the sons of Solomon's servants were three hundred ninety-two.

⁴⁶ The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, ⁴⁷ the sons of Keros, the sons of Sia, the sons of Padon, ⁴⁸ the sons of Lebana, the sons of Hagaba, the sons of Salmai, ⁴⁹ the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, ⁵⁰ the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, ⁵¹ the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah. ⁵² The sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephushesim, ⁵³ the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, ⁵⁴ the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, ⁵⁵ the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, ⁵⁶ the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha. ⁵⁷ The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Perida, ⁵⁸ the sons of Jaala, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel, ⁵⁹ the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the sons of Amon. ⁶⁰ All the Nethinim and the sons of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety-two. ⁶¹ And these were those who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not show their fathers' house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel: ⁶² The sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred forty-two.

⁷ And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel who provided provisions for the king and his household. Each man had to make provision for a month in the year. ⁸ And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim; ⁹ Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan; ¹⁰ Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (to him pertained Socoh, and all the land of Hepher); ¹¹ Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife); ¹² Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam; ¹³ Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; even to him pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and brazen bars); ¹⁴ Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim; ¹⁵ Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife); ¹⁶ Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth; ¹⁷ Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar; ¹⁸ Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin; ¹⁹ Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan, and he was the only officer who was in the land. ²⁰ Judah and Israel were as many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry. ²¹ And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. They brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life. ²² And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and sixty measures of meal, ²³ ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

¹ And the rulers of the people dwelt in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities. ² And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem. ³ Now these are the chiefs of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. But in the cities of Judah everyone dwells in his possession in their cities, namely, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the sons of Solomon's servants. ⁴ And in Jerusalem certain of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin dwelt. Of the sons of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez; ⁵ and Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite. ⁶ All the sons of Perez who dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred sixty-eight valiant men. ⁷ And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah. ⁸ And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred twenty-eight. ⁹ And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer, and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city. ¹⁰ Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin, ¹¹ Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God, ¹² and their brothers who did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty-two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah, ¹³ and his brothers, chiefs of fathers, two hundred forty-two; and Amashsai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, ¹⁴ and their brothers, mighty men of valor, a hundred twenty-eight, and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggedolim. ¹⁵ And of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni, ¹⁶ and Shabbethai and Jozabad of the chiefs of the Levites who had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God, ¹⁷ and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun. ¹⁸ All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four. ¹⁹ Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who kept watch at the gates, were a hundred seventy-two. ²⁰ And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, everyone in his inheritance. ²¹ But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel. And Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim. ²² The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, over the business of the house of God. ²³ For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required. ²⁴ And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people. ²⁵ And as for the villages, with their fields, some of the sons of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and the towns of it, and in Dibon and the towns of it, and in Jekabzeel and the villages of it, ²⁶ and in Jeshua, and in Moladah, and Beth-pelet, ²⁷ and in Hazar-shual, and in Beersheba and the towns of it, ²⁸ and in Ziklag, and in Meconah and in the towns of it, ²⁹ and in En-rimmon, and in Zorah, and in Jarmuth, ³⁰ Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and the fields of it, Azekah and the towns of it. So they encamped from Beersheba to the valley of Hinnom. ³¹ The sons of Benjamin also dwelt from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija, and at Bethel and the towns of it, ³² at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, ³³ Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, ³⁴ Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, ³⁵ Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. ³⁶ And of the Levites, certain courses in Judah were joined to Benjamin.

¹⁷ For ye also know that wanting afterward to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though having sought it with tears.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. ²⁴ And I, LORD, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, LORD, have spoken it.

²⁴ And my servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. They shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.

⁷ And whatever is for the ruler shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward, and in length answerable to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border. ⁸ It shall be to him for a possession in the land in Israel. And my rulers shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

⁸ And by the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer: twenty-five thousand measures in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side. And the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

¹⁰ And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation: toward the north twenty-five thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length. And the sanctuary of LORD shall be in the midst of it.

²² Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the ruler's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the ruler.

¹¹ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

¹⁶ And they journeyed from Bethel. And there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor. ¹⁷ And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Fear not, for now thou shall have another son. ¹⁸ And it came to pass, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin. ¹⁹ And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

²¹ Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz, ²² and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, ²³ and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah, ²⁴ and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages. ²⁵ Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, ²⁶ and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, ²⁷ and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, ²⁸ and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

¹ Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east and west), Dan, one portion. ² And by the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one portion. ³ And by the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one portion. ⁴ And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one portion. ⁵ And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one portion. ⁶ And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one portion. ⁷ And by the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one portion.

³³ And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because LORD has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.

⁵ Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their swords. ⁶ O my soul, come not thou into their council, to their assembly, my glory, be not thou united, for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hocked an ox. ⁷ Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

¹ And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families. And their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah. ² And they had for their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, ³ and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem, ⁴ and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, ⁵ and Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, ⁶ and Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages. ⁷ Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages; ⁸ and all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families. ⁹ The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was out of the part of the sons of Judah, for the portion of the sons of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the sons of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

¹⁴ And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. ¹⁵ And she said to her, Is it a small matter that thou have taken away my husband? And would thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee tonight for thy son's mandrakes. ¹⁶ And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in to me, for I have surely hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. ¹⁷ And God hearkened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son. ¹⁸ And Leah said, God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.

¹⁷ The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the sons of Issachar according to their families. ¹⁸ And their border was to Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, ¹⁹ and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, ²⁰ and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Ebez, ²¹ and Remeth, and Engannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez, ²² and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh. And the goings out of their border were at the Jordan; sixteen cities with their villages. ²³ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

¹⁹ And Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ²⁰ And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. And she called his name Zebulun.

¹⁰ And the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was to Sarid, ¹¹ and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam, ¹² and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising to the border of Chisloth-tabor, and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia. ¹³ And from there it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin, and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah, ¹⁴ and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon. And the goings out of it were at the valley of Iph-tah-el, ¹⁵ and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages. ¹⁶ This is the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

¹⁰ And Zilpah Leah's handmaid bore Jacob a son. ¹¹ And Leah said, Fortunate! And she called his name Gad.

²⁴ And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families. ²⁵ And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah, ²⁶ and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir, ²⁷ and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border of it, to the outermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward. ²⁸ This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages of it.

⁷ And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who dwelt in Hazazon-tamar.

¹⁸ In that day LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹ And the sons of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people abode in Kadesh. And Miriam died there, and was buried there.

¹³ These are the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel strove with LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

⁵ And the border shall turn about from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

³ from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim

² Then there came some who told Jehoshaphat, saying, There comes a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Syria. And, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (the same is En-gedi).

³² They also angered him at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses because of them,

¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that LORD will beat off his fruit, from the flood of the River to the brook of Egypt. And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye sons of Israel.

¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, that fishermen shall stand by it. From En-gedi even to En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many.

¹⁵ And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad,

¹⁹ And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, to the great sea. This is the south side southward. ²⁰ And the west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side.

² Command the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders of it),

¹³ And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which LORD has commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe.

¹ Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years, and LORD said to him, Thou are old and well stricken in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed. ² This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites; ³ from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim ⁴ on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites; ⁵ and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath; ⁶ all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel, only allot thou it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded thee. ⁷ Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. ⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of LORD gave them: ⁹ from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon; ¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the sons of Ammon; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim), for these Moses smote, and drove them out. ¹³ Nevertheless the sons of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day. ¹⁴ Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance. The offerings of LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance as he spoke to him.

¹³ Thus says the lord LORD: This shall be the border by which ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions. ¹⁴ And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another, for I swore to give it to your fathers. And this land shall fall to you for inheritance. ¹⁵ And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad, ¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath, Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. ¹⁷ And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus, and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side. ¹⁸ And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan, from the north border to the east sea ye shall measure. This is the east side. ¹⁹ And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, to the great sea. This is the south side southward. ²⁰ And the west side shall be the great sea, from the south border as far as opposite the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side. ²¹ So ye shall divide this land to you according to the tribes of Israel. ²² And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you and to the strangers who sojourn among you, who shall beget sons among you. And they shall be to you as the home-born among the sons of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

¹⁶ And these shall be the measures of it: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

³² And at the east side four thousand and five hundred measures, and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one, the gate of Benjamin, one, the gate of Dan, one. ³³ And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one, the gate of Issachar, one, the gate of Zebulun, one. ³⁴ At the west side four thousand and five hundred measures, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one, the gate of Asher, one, the gate of Naphtali, one. ³⁵ It shall be eighteen thousand measures round about. And the name of the city from that day shall be, LORD is there.

¹ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. He will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. ² Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in.

¹² And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.

¹¹ Thy gates also shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.

¹² which has a great and high wall having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve agents, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: ¹³ from the east, three gates, and from the north, three gates, and from the south, three gates, and from the west, three gates.

²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls apiece, each one of the gates was of one pearl. And the thoroughfare of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

²⁵ And the gates of it will, no, not be locked by day, for there will be no night there.

¹⁴ And Abraham called the name of that place LORD-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of LORD it shall be provided.

²⁶ and he said, If thou will diligently hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians, for I am LORD who heals thee.

¹⁵ And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it LORD-nissi.

²⁴ Then Gideon built an altar there to LORD, and called it LORD-shalom. To this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

⁵ God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her, and that right early.

³ God has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

¹⁴ For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

¹⁸ Thou have ascended on high. Thou have led captivity captive. Thou have received gifts among men, yea, among the rebellious also, that LORD God might dwell with them.

¹³ Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary. Who is a great god like God?

¹⁴ This is my resting place forever. Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

³² What then shall a man answer the messengers of the nation? That LORD has founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge.

²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, for LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem. And glory shall be before his elders.

¹⁷ At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of LORD, to Jerusalem. Neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

⁹ Why should thou be as a man frightened, as a mighty man who cannot save? Yet thou, O LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name. Do not leave us.

⁶ In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is his name by which he shall be called: LORD our righteousness.

¹⁶ In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely. And this is the name whereby she shall be called: LORD our righteousness.

¹⁰ Because thou have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it, whereas LORD was there,

²¹ And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed. For LORD dwells in Zion.

¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says LORD.

²¹ Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to LORD of hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in it. And in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of LORD of hosts.
