³⁵ Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would give to your fathers, ³⁶ But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.

³⁶ But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart. ³⁷ And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:

³⁷ And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it: ³⁸ Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage. ³⁹ And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs. ⁴⁰ But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.

¹⁴ Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said. ¹⁵ For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.

²⁴ Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him, ²⁵ From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you. ²⁶ Then from the waste land of Kedemoth I sent representatives to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying, ²⁷ Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left; ²⁸ Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot; ²⁹ As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us. ³⁰ But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day.

³⁰ But Sihon, king of Heshbon, would not let us go through; for the Lord your God made his spirit hard and his heart strong, so that he might give him up into your hands as at this day. ³¹ And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

³¹ And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours. ³² Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

³² Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz. ³³ And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

³³ And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people. ³⁴ At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any: ³⁵ Only the cattle we took for ourselves, with the goods from the towns we had taken. ³⁶ From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

¹ Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei. ² And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon. ³ So the Lord our God gave up Og, king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands; and we overcame him so completely that all his people came to their end in the fight. ⁴ At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take. ⁵ All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns. ⁶ And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children. ⁷ But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns. ⁸ At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

¹² And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

¹² And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. ¹³ The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. {\I This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

¹³ The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. {\I This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

¹³ The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. {\I This land is named the land of the Rephaim. ¹⁴ Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.}

¹⁴ Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.}

¹⁴ Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.}

¹⁴ Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.} ¹⁵ And Gilead I gave to Machir.

¹⁵ And Gilead I gave to Machir.

¹⁵ And Gilead I gave to Machir. ¹⁶ And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;

¹⁶ And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites; ¹⁷ As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

¹⁷ As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east. ¹⁸ At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.

¹⁸ At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel. ¹⁹ But your wives and your little ones and your cattle for it is clear that you have much cattle may go on living in the towns I have given you; ²⁰ Till the Lord has given rest to your brothers as to you, and till they have taken for themselves the land which the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of Jordan: then you may go back, every man of you, to the heritage which I have given you.

²⁰ Till the Lord has given rest to your brothers as to you, and till they have taken for themselves the land which the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of Jordan: then you may go back, every man of you, to the heritage which I have given you.

²⁵ Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon. ²⁶ But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.

¹⁵ But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you: ¹⁶ You will be cursed in the town and cursed in the field. ¹⁷ A curse will be on your basket and on your bread-basin. ¹⁸ A curse will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock. ¹⁹ You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out. ²⁰ The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me. ²¹ The Lord will send disease after disease on you, till you have been cut off by death from the land to which you are going. ²² The Lord will send wasting disease, and burning pain, and flaming heat against you, keeping back the rain till your land is waste and dead; so will it be till your destruction is complete. ²³ And the heaven over your heads will be brass, and the earth under you hard as iron. ²⁴ The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust, sending it down on you from heaven till your destruction is complete. ²⁵ The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away. ²⁷ The Lord will send on you the disease of Egypt, and other sorts of skin diseases which nothing will make well. ²⁸ He will make your minds diseased, and your eyes blind, and your hearts wasted with fear: ²⁹ You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour. ³⁰ You will take a wife, but another man will have the use of her: the house which your hands have made will never be your resting-place: you will make a vine-garden, and never take the fruit of it. ³¹ Your ox will be put to death before your eyes, but its flesh will not be your food: your ass will be violently taken away before your face, and will not be given back to you: your sheep will be given to your haters, and there will be no saviour for you. ³² Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything. ³³ The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever: ³⁴ So that the things which your eyes have to see will send you out of your minds. ³⁵ The Lord will send a skin disease, attacking your knees and your legs, bursting out from your feet to the top of your head, so that nothing will make you well. ³⁶ And you, and the king whom you have put over you, will the Lord take away to a nation strange to you and to your fathers; there you will be servants to other gods of wood and stone. ³⁷ And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you. ³⁸ You will take much seed out into the field, and get little in; for the locust will get it. ³⁹ You will put in vines and take care of them, but you will get no wine or grapes from them; for they will be food for worms. ⁴⁰ Your land will be full of olive-trees, but there will be no oil for the comfort of your body; for your olive-tree will give no fruit. ⁴¹ You will have sons and daughters, but they will not be yours; for they will go away prisoners into a strange land. ⁴² All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's. ⁴³ The man from a strange land who is living among you will be lifted up higher and higher over you, while you go down lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you: ⁴⁶ These things will come on you and on your seed, to be a sign and a wonder for ever; ⁴⁷ Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things; ⁴⁸ For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you. ⁴⁹ The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you; ⁵⁰ A hard-faced nation, who will have no respect for the old or mercy for the young: ⁵¹ He will take the fruit of your cattle and of your land till death puts an end to you: he will let you have nothing of your grain or wine or oil or any of the increase of your cattle or the young of your flock, till he has made your destruction complete. ⁵² Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you. ⁵³ And your food will be the fruit of your body, the flesh of the sons and daughters which the Lord your God has given you; because of your bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters. ⁵⁴ That man among you who is soft and used to comfort will be hard and cruel to his brother, and to his dear wife, and to of those his children who are still living; ⁵⁵ And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns. ⁵⁶ The most soft and delicate of your women, who would not so much as put her foot on the earth, so delicate is she, will be hard-hearted to her husband and to her son and to her daughter; ⁵⁷ And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns. ⁵⁸ If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD; ⁵⁹ Then the Lord your God will make your punishment, and the punishment of your seed, a thing to be wondered at; great punishments and cruel diseases stretching on through long years. ⁶⁰ He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip. ⁶¹ And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete. ⁶² And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God. ⁶³ And as the Lord took delight in doing you good and increasing you, so the Lord will take pleasure in cutting you off and causing your destruction, and you will be uprooted from the land which you are about to take as your heritage. ⁶⁴ And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge. ⁶⁵ And even among these nations there will be no peace for you, and no rest for your feet: but the Lord will give you there a shaking heart and wasting eyes and weariness of soul: ⁶⁶ Your very life will be hanging in doubt before you, and day and night will be dark with fears, and nothing in life will be certain: ⁶⁷ In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.

⁸ And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

¹⁷ But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods: ¹⁸ I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan. ¹⁹ Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:

¹³ Keep in mind what Moses, the servant of the Lord, said to you, The Lord your God is sending you rest and will give you this land.

¹³ Keep in mind what Moses, the servant of the Lord, said to you, The Lord your God is sending you rest and will give you this land.

¹³ Keep in mind what Moses, the servant of the Lord, said to you, The Lord your God is sending you rest and will give you this land. ¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;

¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;

¹⁴ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help; ¹⁵ Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.

¹⁵ Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.

¹⁹ Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

¹² And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went over armed before the children of Israel as Moses had said to them:

¹² And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went over armed before the children of Israel as Moses had said to them: ¹³ About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.

⁷ And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!

³⁰ And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

⁴² And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.

²³ So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

¹ Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel overcame, taking as their heritage their land on the east side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east: ² Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, the limits of the children of Ammon; ³ And the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, to the east, and to the sea of the Arabah, that is the Salt Sea, to the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah: ⁴ And the land of Og, king of Bashan, of the rest of the Rephaim, who was living at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, ⁵ Ruling in the mountain of Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, as far as the limits of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, to the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon. ⁶ Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

⁶ Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them;

⁸ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them; ⁹ From Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon; ¹⁰ And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of the children of Ammon; ¹¹ And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; ¹² All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei he was one of the last of the Rephaim; these did Moses overcome, driving them out of their country. ¹³ However, the people of Israel did not send out the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among Israel to this day. ¹⁴ Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage; the offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, made by fire are his heritage, as he said to him.

¹⁷ Heshbon and all her towns in the table-land; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;

¹⁹ And Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the valley;

²⁵ And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

²⁹ And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families.

²⁹ And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families. ³⁰ And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

³⁰ And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

³⁰ And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns; ³¹ And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families.

³¹ And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families. ³² These are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan in Jericho, to the east.

⁶ Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea. ⁷ I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire. ⁸ My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart. ⁹ And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

¹ And this was the part marked out for the tribe of Manasseh, because he was the oldest son of Joseph. As for Machir, the oldest son of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war he had Gilead and Bashan.

¹ And all the meeting of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh and put up the Tent of meeting there: and the land was crushed before them.

¹ Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, ² And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:

² And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do: ³ You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.

³ You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God. ⁴ And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

⁴ And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.

⁴ And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan. ⁵ Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁹ So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

¹⁶ This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord? ¹⁷ Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord, ¹⁸ That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel. ¹⁹ But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

⁷ Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

⁴ And he had thirty sons, who went on thirty young asses; and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are named Havvoth-Jair to this day.

²⁶ While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?

¹⁰ Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me, seeing I am from a strange people?

³ But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

²⁸ And when David had word of it he said, May I and my kingdom be clear for ever in the eyes of the Lord from the blood of Abner, the son of Ner:

¹¹ And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.

²² Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant.

¹⁸ Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

⁵ And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;

¹³ (UNTRANSLATED TEXT) the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.

³² In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel, ³³ East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.

²⁹ In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came and took Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee and all the land of Naphtali; and he took the people away to Assyria.

²¹ And after that, Hezron had connection with the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, whom he took as his wife when he was sixty years old; and she had Segub by him. ²² And Segub was the father of Jair, who had twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead. ²³ And Geshur and Aram took the tent-towns of Jair from them, with Kenath and the small places round it, even sixty towns. All these were the sons of Machir, the father of Gilead.

¹⁸ There were forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty of the sons of Reuben and of the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, all strong men, expert in the use of the body-cover, the sword, and the bow, and in the art of war, all able to take up arms.

²⁵ And they did evil against the God of their fathers, worshipping the gods of the people of the land, whom God had put to destruction before them. ²⁶ And the God of Israel put an impulse into the heart of Pul, king of Assyria, and of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, who took them away as prisoners, all the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to Halah and Habor and Hara and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

³¹ And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, listed by name, came to make David king.

³² And his brothers were two thousand, seven hundred able men, heads of families, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in everything to do with God, and for the king's business.

¹⁹ But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship: ²⁰ Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples. ²¹ And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house? ²² And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.

² And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

¹³ And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here; ¹⁴ Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe?

¹⁰ And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.

²² And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, making distribution to them in every part of the land: so they took for their heritage the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan.

²⁴ So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do. ²⁵ And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them. ²⁶ But they were hard-hearted, and went against your authority, turning their backs on your law, and putting to death your prophets, who gave witness against them with the purpose of turning them back again to you, and they did much to make you angry.

¹⁸ Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

² And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

⁴ If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

⁴ Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.

¹ To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah Maschil. It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times, ² Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people. ³ For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them. ⁴ You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.

¹¹ The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.

³³ So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

⁵⁵ Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

⁵⁷ Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

⁸ You have put our evil doings before you, our secret sins in the light of your face.

¹¹ And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.

¹⁰ He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death; ¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹⁸ And put noble kings to death: for his mercy is unchanging for ever: ¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites: for his mercy is unchanging for ever: ²⁰ And Og, king of Bashan: for his mercy is unchanging for ever: ²¹ And gave their land to his people for a heritage: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

¹¹ If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;

¹¹ Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.

²¹ Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.

²¹ A heritage may be got quickly at first, but the end of it will not be a blessing.

⁴ O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.

¹¹ Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.

² The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off. ³ In their streets they are covering themselves with haircloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their public places, there is crying and bitter weeping. ⁴ Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

⁴ Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

⁶ The waters of Nimrim will become dry: for the grass is burned up, the young grass is coming to an end, every green thing is dead.

⁸ For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea. ⁹ For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

² Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.

¹ Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.

⁴ Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,

¹ Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing: ² But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.

¹² For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:

⁶ See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment, ⁷ For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.

² The Lord has said, Grace came in the waste land to a people kept safe from the sword, even to Israel on the way to his resting-place.

²³ And they will take all your wives and your children out to the Chaldaeans: and you will not get away out of their hands, but will be taken by the hands of the king of Babylon: and this town will be burned with fire.

² The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.

²² And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim, ²³ And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

³² My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.

³⁴ The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

⁴⁵ Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.

¹⁹ And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

¹⁵ And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;

²¹ But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.

¹⁴ Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.

⁷ A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

³¹ So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death. ³² Make full, then, the measure of your fathers. ³³ You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?

⁴⁸ So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.

⁵¹ You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. ⁵² Which of the prophets was not cruelly attacked by your fathers? and they put to death those who gave them the news of the coming of the Upright One; whom you have now given up and put to death;

¹³ Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁹ Trouble and sorrow on all whose works are evil, to the Jew first and then to the Greek;

¹⁵ And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

²⁰ Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another. ²¹ It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

¹¹ And so, through your knowledge, you are the cause of destruction to your brother, for whom Christ underwent death. ¹² And in this way, doing evil to the brothers, and causing trouble to those whose faith is feeble, you are sinning against Christ.

⁵ But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

⁴ For the arms with which we are fighting are not those of the flesh, but are strong before God for the destruction of high places; ⁵ Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

¹⁰ Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power. ¹¹ Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One. ¹² For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. ¹³ For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place. ¹⁴ Take your place, then, having your body clothed with the true word, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ Be ready with the good news of peace as shoes on your feet; ¹⁶ And most of all, using faith as a cover to keep off all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. ¹⁷ And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

⁴ Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

⁷ I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith: ⁸ From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

⁸ Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land, ⁹ When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years. ¹⁰ So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways; ¹¹ And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest. ¹² My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God: ¹³ But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin: ¹⁴ For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ; ¹⁵ As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry. ¹⁶ Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses? ¹⁷ And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land? ¹⁸ And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders? ¹⁹ So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
