PEOPLES UNITE AGAINST YAH SHUA AND YISRA EL And so be it, all the sovereigns on this side Yarden - in the mountains and in the lowlands and in all the havens of the great sea toward Lebanon - the Hethiy and the Emoriy the Kenaaniy the Perizziy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy hear thereof; ² and they gather themselves together to fight Yah Shua and Yisra El with one mouth. ³
THE STRATEGY OF THE SETTLERS OF GIBON And the settlers of Gibon hear what Yah Shua worked to Yericho and to Ay, ⁴ and they work strategy, and come, and make out to be ambassadors; and take worn out saqs on their he burros, and worn out and split and bandaged wine skins, ⁵ and worn out and patched shoes on their feet, and worn out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their hunt is withered and crumbly. ⁶ And they go to Yah Shua to the camp at Gilgal, and say to him, and to the men of Yisra El, We come from a far land: and now cut a covenant with us. ⁷ And the men of Yisra El say to the Hivviy, Perhaps you settle among us; and how cut we a covenant with you? ⁸ And they say to Yah Shua, We, your servants. And Yah Shua says to them, Who are you? Whence come you? ⁹ And they say to him, From a mighty far land your servants come; because of the name of Yah Veh your Elohim: for we hear of his fame, and all he works in Misrayim, ¹⁰ and all he works to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy beyond Yarden - to Sichon sovereign of Heshbon, and to Og sovereign of Bashan at Ashtaroth: ¹¹ and our elders and all the settlers of our land say to us, saying, Take hunt in your hand for the journey and go to meet them, and say to them, We, your servants: and now cut covenant with us. ¹² We took this bread from our houses, warm for our provision on the day we came to come to you; and now, behold, it withered and crumbled: ¹³ and we filled these skins of wine, new; and behold, they split: and these our clothes and our shoes; worn by the mighty great journey. ¹⁴ And the men take of their hunt, and ask not at the mouth of Yah Veh: ¹⁵ and Yah Shua works shalom with them and cuts a covenant with them that they live: and the hierarchs of the witness oath to them. ¹⁶
SONS OF YISRA EL HONOR THEIR OATH And so be it, at the end of three days, after they cut a covenant with them, they hear they are neighbours settling among them. ¹⁷ And the sons of Yisra El pull stakes and come to their cities on the third day: and their cities are Gibon and Kephirah and Beeroth and Kirjath Arim: ¹⁸ and the sons of Yisra El smite them not because the hierarchs of the witness oathed to them by Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. And all the witness murmurs against the hierarchs. ¹⁹ And all the hierarchs say to all the witness, We oathed to them by Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: and now we are not able to touch them. ²⁰ This we work to them - that they live lest rage be on us, because of the oath we oathed to them. ²¹ And the hierarchs say to them, They live; and become choppers of timber and bailers of water to all the witness; as the hierarchs had worded them. ²² And Yah Shua calls for them, and words to them, saying, Why deceived you us, saying, We are mighty far from you - when you settle among us? ²³ Now you are cursed, and none of you is cut off from being servants and choppers of timber and bailers of water for the house of my Elohim. ²⁴ And they answer Yah Shua, and say, In telling, your servants were told how Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed his servant Mosheh to give you all the land, and to desolate all the settlers of the land from your face; and we awed mightily of our souls at your face and worked this word: ²⁵ and now, behold, we are in your hand: and as seems good and straight in your eyes to work, work. ²⁶ And thus he works them, and delivers them from the hand of the sons of Yisra El that they not slaughter them: ²⁷ And Yah Shua gives them that day to become choppers of timber and bailers of water for the witness and for the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh - even to this day in the place he chooses.

¹³ And Yah Veh Elohim says to the woman, What is this you worked? And the woman says, The serpent deceived me and I ate. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh Elohim says to the serpent, Because you worked this, you are cursed above all animals and above every live being of the field; on your belly you go and eat dust all the days of your life:

²⁵ and he says, Curse Kenaan; he becomes a servant of servants to his brethren. ²⁶ And he says, Blessed be Yah Veh Elohim of Shem; and Kenaan becomes his servant.

¹⁷ and the Hivviy and the Arqiy and the Siniy

¹⁸ In that day Yah Veh cuts a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed I gave this land - from the river of Misrayim to the great river - the river Euphrates: ¹⁹ the Qeyniy and the Qenaziy and the Qadmoniy ²⁰ and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Rephaim ²¹ and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Girgashiy and the Yebusiy.

⁴¹ And Esav opposes Yaaqov because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esav says in his heart, The days of mourning for my father approach; then I slaughter my brother Yaaqov. ⁴² And they tell Ribqah these words of Esav her greater son: and she sends and calls Yaaqov her younger son and says to him, Behold, your brother Esav sighs over himself regarding you, to slaughter you: ⁴³ and now my son, hear my voice; and rise, flee to Laban my brother to Haran; ⁴⁴ and settle with him a few days until the fury of your brother turns away; ⁴⁵ until the wrath of your brother turns from you and forgets what you worked to him: and I send and take you from there: why bereave me also of you two in one day?

²⁵ And so be it, in the morning, behold, it is Leah: and he says to Laban, What is this you worked to me? Served I not you for Rachel? Why deceived you me?

² and when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivviy, hierarch of the land, sees her, he takes her and lies down with her and humbles her:

¹² and take double silver in your hand; and the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks, return it in your hand; perahaps it was an error:

⁸ and I descend to deliver them from the hand of the Misrayim - ascend them from that land to a good and broad land to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy;

¹⁷ and I say, I ascend you from the humiliation of Misrayim to the land of the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - to a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁶ And yet, for this I stood you, so as to have you see my force; and to scribe my name throughout all the earth.

¹⁴ The people hear and quiver: pangs take hold on them who settle Pelesheth:

¹⁴ The people hear and quiver: pangs take hold on them who settle Pelesheth: ¹⁵ Then the chiliarchs of Edom terrify; the mighty of Moab, trembling, take hold on them; all who settle Kenaan melt away. ¹⁶ Terror and fear fall on them; by the greatness of your arm they become as still as a stone; until your people pass over, O Yah Veh, until the people you chattel pass over.

²³ For my angel goes at your face and brings you to the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Kenaaniy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy: and I cut them off.

³¹ And I set your borders from the Reed sea even to the sea of the Peleshethiym and from the wilderness to the river: for I give them who settle the land into your hand; and you expel them from your face.

³¹ And I set your borders from the Reed sea even to the sea of the Peleshethiym and from the wilderness to the river: for I give them who settle the land into your hand; and you expel them from your face. ³² Neither cut covenant with them nor with their elohim:

¹¹ Guard what I misvah you this day: behold, I expel from your face the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy: ¹² guard yourself, lest you cut a covenant with them who settle the land where you go; lest it become a snare in your midst:

²⁸ Only naught devoted - that a man devotes to Yah Veh of all he has - from human to animal and of the field of his possession is ever sold or redeemed: all that is devoted becomes a holy of holies to Yah Veh. ²⁹ Naught devoted - devoted by humanity, is redeemed: but in deathifying, is deathified.

¹⁵ and if you deathify all this people as one man, then the goyim who hear the report of you, say, saying,

²⁴ and Yisra El smites him with the mouth of the sword and possesses his land from Arnon to Yabboq to the sons of Ammon: for the border of the sons of Ammon is strong. ²⁵ And Yisra El takes all these cities: and Yisra El settles in all the cities of the Emoriy, in Heshbon and in all the daughters thereof. ²⁶ For Heshbon is a city of Sichon the sovereign of the Emoriy, who fought the head sovereign of Moab and takes all his land from his hand, to Arnon. ²⁷ So they who proverbialize say, Come into Heshbon, build the city of Sichon and prepare: ²⁸ for there a fire goes from Heshbon a flame from the city of Sichon: it consumes Ar of Moab and the masters of the bamahs of Arnon. ²⁹ Woe to you, Moab! You destruct, O people of Kemosh! He gives his sons and his daughters who escape to captivity to Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy. ³⁰ And we shoot them! Heshbon destructs even to Dibon and we desolate them from Nophach to Medeba. ³¹ - thus Yisra El settles in the land of the Emoriy. ³² And Mosheh sends to spy Yazer and they capture the daughters thereof and dispossess the Emoriy there: ³³ and they ascend from their face by the way of Bashan: and Og the sovereign of Bashan goes out confronting them - he and all his people to the war at Edrei. ³⁴ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Awe him not: for I give him into your hand - all his people and his land; and work to him as you worked to Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy, who settles at Heshbon. ³⁵ So they smite him and his sons and all his people, until no survivor survives: and they possess his land.

²¹ and stand him at the face of El Azar the priest to ask for him after the judgment of Urim at the face of Yah Veh: at his mouth they go out and at his mouth they come in - both he and all the sons of Yisra El with him - even all the witness.

⁵¹ Word to the sons of Yisra El, and say to them, When you pass over Yarden into the land of Kenaan, ⁵² dispossess them who settle the land from your face; and destroy all their imageries and desolate all their molten images and desolate all their bamahs:

⁵² dispossess them who settle the land from your face; and destroy all their imageries and desolate all their molten images and desolate all their bamahs:

⁵⁵ and if you dispossess not them who settle the land from your face; then so be it, they who remain become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides and tribulate you in the land wherein you settle; ⁵⁶ and so be it, I work to you as I thought to work to them.

⁶ And as for the seaward border, even the great sea is your border: this is your seaward border.

⁴ after he smote Sichon the sovereign of the Emoriy who settled in Heshbon and Og the sovereign of Bashan who settled at Astaroth in Edrei:

³⁰ But Sichon sovereign of Heshbon willed to not let us pass by him: for Yah Veh your Elohim hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, to give him into your hand, as this day.

²⁵ I beseech you, pass me over to see the good land beyond Yarden - that goodly mountain and Lebanon.

⁴⁹ and all the plain on this side Yarden toward the rising, even to the sea of the plain under the springs of Pisgah.

THE TORAH ON MINGLING When Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to the land where you go, to possess it, and plucks many goyim from your face - the Hethiy and the Girgashiy and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - seven goyim greater and mightier than you;

THE TORAH ON MINGLING When Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to the land where you go, to possess it, and plucks many goyim from your face - the Hethiy and the Girgashiy and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - seven goyim greater and mightier than you; ² and when Yah Veh your Elohim gives them at your face, smite them; and in devoting, devote them: neither cut a covenant with them nor grant charism to them:

² and when Yah Veh your Elohim gives them at your face, smite them; and in devoting, devote them: neither cut a covenant with them nor grant charism to them: ³ neither intermarry with them; nor give your daughter to his son, nor take his daughter to your son.

²³ but Yah Veh your Elohim gives them at your face and quakes them with a great confusion, until they desolate: ²⁴ and he gives their sovereigns into your hand and you destroy their name from under the heavens: no man is able to stand at your face until you desolate them.

⁵ But to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses of all your scions to put his name there, seek and enter his tabernacle:

¹⁰ When you approach to a city to fight against it, call shalom to it: ¹¹ and so be it, if it answers you of shalom and opens to you, then so be it, all the people found therein become your vassals and serve you.

¹¹ and so be it, if it answers you of shalom and opens to you, then so be it, all the people found therein become your vassals and serve you.

¹¹ and so be it, if it answers you of shalom and opens to you, then so be it, all the people found therein become your vassals and serve you. ¹² And if it shalams not with you, but works war against you, besiege it: ¹³ and when Yah Veh your Elohim gives it in your hands, smite every male thereof with the mouth of the sword: ¹⁴ but the women and the toddlers and the animals and all within the city - even all the loot thereof, plunder to yourself; and eat the loot of your enemies Yah Veh your Elohim gives you. ¹⁵ Thus work to all the cities mighty far from you, who are not of the cities of these goyim.

¹⁵ Thus work to all the cities mighty far from you, who are not of the cities of these goyim.

¹⁵ Thus work to all the cities mighty far from you, who are not of the cities of these goyim. ¹⁶ Only, of the cities of these people, Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance, preserve naught alive that breathes:

¹⁶ Only, of the cities of these people, Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance, preserve naught alive that breathes: ¹⁷ but in devoting, devote them - the Hethiy and the Emoriy the Kenaaniy and the Perizziy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy as Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you:

⁵ and I carried you forty years in the wilderness: neither your clothes wore out on you, nor shoe wore out on your foot:

¹¹ your toddlers, your women, and the sojourner inside your camp - from the hewer of your timber to the drawer of your water:

²⁵ Your shoes are iron and copper; and as your days, thus your strength.

⁴ - from this wilderness and Lebanon even to the great river - the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hethiy, and to the great sea toward the entry of the sun becomes your border.

¹¹ Pass over midst the camp and misvah the people, saying, Prepare your hunt; for within three days you pass over this Yarden to go in to possess the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you to possess.

¹⁵ until Yah Veh rests your brothers, as you, and they possess the land Yah Veh your Elohim gave them: then return to the land of your possession and possess it, which Mosheh, the servant of Yah Veh gave you on this side Yarden from the rising sun.

⁹ and says to the men, I know Yah Veh gives you the land and that your terror befalls us; and that all the settlers of the land melt at your face: ¹⁰ for we hear how Yah Veh withered the water of the Reed sea at your face, in your going from Misrayim; and what you worked to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy on the other side Yarden - Sichon and Og, whom you devoted:

¹² And now I beseech you, oath to me by Yah Veh, surely I worked you mercy, that you also work mercy to the house of my father, and give me a true sign: ¹³ that you save alive my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters and all they have, and rescue our souls from death. ¹⁴ And the men say to her, Our soul dies for yours, if you tell not this word; and in giving, when Yah Veh gives us the land, we work mercy and truth with you. ¹⁵ Then she descends them by a cord through the window: for her house is on the wall and she settles on the wall. ¹⁶ And she says to them, Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves three days, until the pursuers return: and afterward go your way. ¹⁷ And the men say to her, We are innocent of this your oath which you had us oath. ¹⁸ Behold, when we come into the land, bind this cord of scarlet thread in the window whereby you descended us: and gather your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all the household of your father to your house: ¹⁹ and so be it, whoever goes outside the doors of your house, his blood is on his head, and we are innocent: and whoever is in the house with you, if any hand is on him, his blood is on our head:

¹⁰ And Yah Shua says, Hereby you know that the living El is among you; and in dispossessing, he dispossesses from your face the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Hivviy and the Perizziy and the Girgashiy and the Emoriy and the Yebusiy.

¹⁷ and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh stand established on a parched area midst Yarden, and all the Yisra Eliy pass over on a parched area, until all the goyim finish passing over Yarden.

¹ And so be it, when all the sovereigns of the Emoriy on the seaward side of Yarden, and all the sovereigns of the Kenaaniy by the sea, hear that Yah Veh withered the waters of Yarden from the face of the sons of Yisra El until we pass over, their heart melts: there is no spirit/wind in them any more, at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁰
THE MANNA CEASES And the sons of Yisra El encamp in Gilgal and work the pasach on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Yericho:

¹ In shutting, Yericho is shut from the face of the sons of Yisra El: no one going, and no one coming. ² And Yah Veh says to Yah Shua, See, I give in your hand, Yericho and the sovereign and the mighty of valour: ³ surround the city, all you men of war, and go all around the city one time: work thus six days: ⁴ and seven priests at the face of the ark bear seven shophars of jubilee: and the seventh day surround the city seven times, and the priests blast with the shophars. ⁵ And so be it, when they draw on the jubilee horn, and when you hear the voice of the shophar, all the people shout a great shout; and the wall of the city falls under it, and the people ascend, each straight in front of him. ⁶ And Yah Shua the son of Nun calls the priests, and says to them, Lift the ark of the covenant. - and seven priests bear seven shophars of jubilee at the face of the ark of Yah Veh. ⁷ And he says to the people, Pass on, and surround the city, and he who is equipped pass on at the face of the ark of Yah Veh. ⁸ And so be it, when Yah Shua says to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven shophars of jubilee pass on at the face of Yah Veh, and blast with the shophars: and the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh walks after them; ⁹ and the equipped walk at the face of the priests who blast the shophars; and the gathering walks after the ark going on and blasting with the shophars. ¹⁰ And Yah Shua misvahs the people, saying, Neither shout, nor have your voice heard, nor any word go from your mouth, until the day I say, Shout! then, shout! ¹¹ And the ark of Yah Veh surrounds the city, going around one time: and they come into the camp and stay overnight in the camp. ¹² And Yah Shua starts early in the morning and the priests lift the ark of Yah Veh: ¹³ and seven priests bearing seven shophars of jubilee at the face of the ark of Yah Veh in walking, walk and blast with the shophars: and the equipped go at their face; and the gathering comes after the ark of Yah Veh - going and blasting with the shophars. ¹⁴ And the second day they surround the city one time, and return to the camp: thus they work six days. ¹⁵ And so be it, on the seventh day, they start early about the ascending of dawn, and surround the city after the same judgment seven times: except on that day they surround the city seven times. ¹⁶ And so be it, the seventh time, the priests blast the shophars, and Yah Shua says to the people, Shout! - for Yah Veh gives you the city! ¹⁷ And the city becomes devoted to Yah Veh - it and all therein: only, Rachab the whore lives - she and all with her in the house, because she hid the angels we sent. ¹⁸ And you, be on guard of the devoted, lest you become devoted when you take of the devotement; and set the camp of Yisra El a devotement, and trouble it. ¹⁹ But all the silver and gold and instruments of copper and iron, are holy to Yah Veh: they come into the treasury of Yah Veh. ²⁰ So the people shout and blast with the shophars: and so be it, when the people hear the voice of the shophar and the people shout with a great shouting the wall falls flat; so that the people ascended into the city; and every man straight in front of him captures the city: ²¹ and they devote all that is in the city - both man and woman - from lad to old man and ox and lamb and he burro with the mouth of the sword. ²² And to the two men who spied the land, Yah Shua says, Go into the house of the woman, and bring out the woman and all she has, as you oathed to her.

²² And to the two men who spied the land, Yah Shua says, Go into the house of the woman, and bring out the woman and all she has, as you oathed to her. ²³ And the lads, the spies go in, and bring out Rachab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she has; and they bring out all her family, and leave them outside the camp of Yisra El:

²³ And the lads, the spies go in, and bring out Rachab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she has; and they bring out all her family, and leave them outside the camp of Yisra El: ²⁴ and they burn the city and all therein with fire: only, they give the silver and the gold and the instruments of copper and of iron to the treasury of the house of Yah Veh.

²⁴ and they burn the city and all therein with fire: only, they give the silver and the gold and the instruments of copper and of iron to the treasury of the house of Yah Veh. ²⁵ And Yah Shua saves Rachab the whore alive with the household of her father and all she has; and she settles within Yisra El to this day; because she hid the angels Yah Shua sent to spy out Yericho.

²⁵ And Yah Shua saves Rachab the whore alive with the household of her father and all she has; and she settles within Yisra El to this day; because she hid the angels Yah Shua sent to spy out Yericho. ²⁶ And Yah Shua oathed them at that time, saying, Cursed from the face of Yah Veh be the man who rises and builds this city Yericho: he lays his firstbirthed in the foundation thereof, and in his lesser, he stations the doors. ²⁷ So Yah Veh is with Yah Shua; and his fame becomes throughout all the land.

¹
SONS OF YISRA EL CONQUER AY And Yah Veh says to Yah Shua, Neither awe nor terrify: take all the people of war with you, and rise; ascend to Ay: see, I give into your hand the sovereign of Ay and his people and his city and his land: ² work to Ay and her sovereign as you worked to Yericho and her sovereign: only, plunder the spoil thereof and the animals thereof to yourselves: lurk for the city behind it. ³ So Yah Shua and all the people of war rise to ascend against Ay: and Yah Shua chooses thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sends them away by night. ⁴ And he misvahs them, saying, See, lurk against the city behind the city: go not mighty far from the city, and prepare - all of you: ⁵ and I and all the people with me approach the city: and so be it, when they come to confront us, we flee from their face, as at first ⁶ - and they come after us until we tear them from the city; for, they say, They flee our face, as at first: and we flee their face: ⁷ then rise from the lurk and possess the city: for Yah Veh your Elohim gives it into your hand. ⁸ And so be it, when you apprehend the city, burn the city on fire: work according to the word of Yah Veh. See, I misvah you. ⁹ - and Yah Shua sends them: and they go to lurk and settle between Beth El and Ay, seaward of Ay: and that night Yah Shua stays overnight among the people. ¹⁰ And Yah Shua starts early in the morning and musters the people and ascends - he and the elders of Yisra El at the face of the people to Ay: ¹¹ and all the people of war ascend with him and draw near and come in front of the city and encamp on the north of Ay: and a valley is between them and Ay. ¹² And he takes about five thousand men and sets them to lurk between Beth El and Ay seaward of the city: ¹³ and they set the people - all the camp north of the city, and their heel trippers seaward of the city, and Yah Shua goes that night midst the valley. ¹⁴ And so be it, when the sovereign of Ay sees, they hasten and start early and the men of the city go out to meet Yisra El to war - he and all his people, at a season, at the face of the plain; but he knows not there are lurkers against him behind the city. ¹⁵ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El are as touched at their face; and flee by the way of the wilderness: ¹⁶ and all the people in Ay cry out to pursue them: and they pursue Yah Shua and tear away from the city. ¹⁷ not a man survives in Ay or Beth El, who goes not after Yisra El: they leave the city open and pursue after Yisra El. ¹⁸ And Yah Veh says to Yah Shua, Spread the dart in your hand toward Ay; for I give it into your hand. - and Yah Shua spreads the dart in his hand toward Ay. ¹⁹ And the lurkers rise quickly from their place, and run as soon as he spreads his hand: and they enter the city and capture it; and hasten and burn the city with fire: ²⁰ and when the men of Ay face behind them, they see, and behold, the smoke of the city ascends to the heavens, and they have no hand to flee - here or there: and the people fleeing to the wilderness turn back against the pursuers. ²¹ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El see the lurkers capture the city and the smoke of the city ascending, they turn back and smite the men of Ay: ²² and the others come from the city to meet them; thus they are midst Yisra El - these on this side and those on that side: and they smite them, so that no escapee survives. ²³ And they apprehend the sovereign of Ay alive, and approach him to Yah Shua. ²⁴ And so be it, Yisra El finishes slaughtering all the settlers of Ay in the field - in the wilderness where they pursue them; - they all fall on the mouth of the sword; until they are consumed: and all the Yisra Eliy return to Ay and smite it with the mouth of the sword. ²⁵ And so be it, all who fall that day, both of men and women, are twelve thousand, all the men of Ay. ²⁶ For Yah Shua turned not back his hand wherewith he spread the spear, until he devoted all the settlers of Ay: ²⁷ only, the animals and the spoil of that city Yisra El plundered to themselves, according to the word Yah Veh misvahed Yah Shua. ²⁸ And Yah Shua burns Ay, and sets it a heap for eternity - a desolation to this day: ²⁹ and he hangs the sovereign of Ay on a tree until evening time: and as soon as the sun is down, Yah Shua misvahs them to bring his carcase down from the tree and cast it at the opening of the portal of the city; and raises thereon a great heap of stones, to this day. ³⁰
THE ALTAR OF YAH SHUA TO YAH VEH Yah Shua builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in mount Ebal, ³¹ as Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed the sons of Yisra El - as inscribed in the scroll of the torah of Mosheh - a sacrifice altar of complete stones over which no man ever waved an iron: and they holocaust holocausts to Yah Veh thereon, and sacrifice shelamim: ³² and there on the stones he inscribes a duplicate of the torah of Mosheh which he inscribes in the face of the sons of Yisra El. ³³ And all Yisra El and their elders and officers and their judges stand on this side the ark and on that side in front of the priests the Leviym, who bear the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh - as the sojourner, as the native; half of them toward mount Gerizim and half of them toward mount Ebal; as Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh first misvahed, to bless the people of Yisra El. ³⁴ And afterward he calls out all the words of the torah - the blessings and abasements according to all inscribed in the scroll of the torah: ³⁵ not a word, of all Mosheh misvahed, is not called out by Yah Shua in front of all the congregation of Yisra El - with the women, and the toddlers, and the sojourners walking among them.

¹
PEOPLES UNITE AGAINST YAH SHUA AND YISRA EL And so be it, all the sovereigns on this side Yarden - in the mountains and in the lowlands and in all the havens of the great sea toward Lebanon - the Hethiy and the Emoriy the Kenaaniy the Perizziy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy hear thereof;

⁴ and they work strategy, and come, and make out to be ambassadors; and take worn out saqs on their he burros, and worn out and split and bandaged wine skins, ⁵ and worn out and patched shoes on their feet, and worn out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their hunt is withered and crumbly. ⁶ And they go to Yah Shua to the camp at Gilgal, and say to him, and to the men of Yisra El, We come from a far land: and now cut a covenant with us.

⁸ And they say to Yah Shua, We, your servants. And Yah Shua says to them, Who are you? Whence come you? ⁹ And they say to him, From a mighty far land your servants come; because of the name of Yah Veh your Elohim: for we hear of his fame, and all he works in Misrayim,

⁹ And they say to him, From a mighty far land your servants come; because of the name of Yah Veh your Elohim: for we hear of his fame, and all he works in Misrayim, ¹⁰ and all he works to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy beyond Yarden - to Sichon sovereign of Heshbon, and to Og sovereign of Bashan at Ashtaroth: ¹¹ and our elders and all the settlers of our land say to us, saying, Take hunt in your hand for the journey and go to meet them, and say to them, We, your servants: and now cut covenant with us.

¹³ and we filled these skins of wine, new; and behold, they split: and these our clothes and our shoes; worn by the mighty great journey.

¹⁵ and Yah Shua works shalom with them and cuts a covenant with them that they live: and the hierarchs of the witness oath to them. ¹⁶
SONS OF YISRA EL HONOR THEIR OATH And so be it, at the end of three days, after they cut a covenant with them, they hear they are neighbours settling among them. ¹⁷ And the sons of Yisra El pull stakes and come to their cities on the third day: and their cities are Gibon and Kephirah and Beeroth and Kirjath Arim:

²⁰ This we work to them - that they live lest rage be on us, because of the oath we oathed to them. ²¹ And the hierarchs say to them, They live; and become choppers of timber and bailers of water to all the witness; as the hierarchs had worded them.

²³ Now you are cursed, and none of you is cut off from being servants and choppers of timber and bailers of water for the house of my Elohim. ²⁴ And they answer Yah Shua, and say, In telling, your servants were told how Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed his servant Mosheh to give you all the land, and to desolate all the settlers of the land from your face; and we awed mightily of our souls at your face and worked this word: ²⁵ and now, behold, we are in your hand: and as seems good and straight in your eyes to work, work.

²⁷ And Yah Shua gives them that day to become choppers of timber and bailers of water for the witness and for the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh - even to this day in the place he chooses.

² and they awe mightily because Gibon is a great city - as one of the royal cities; and because it is greater than Ay; and all the men thereof are mighty.

² and they awe mightily because Gibon is a great city - as one of the royal cities; and because it is greater than Ay; and all the men thereof are mighty. ³ And Adoni Sedeq sovereign of Yeru Shalem sends to Hoham sovereign of Hebron and to Piram sovereign of Yarmuth and to Yaphia sovereign of Lachish and to Debir sovereign of Eglon, saying, ⁴ Ascend to me and help me smite Gibon: for it shalams with Yah Shua and with the sons of Yisra El. ⁵ So the five sovereigns of the Emoriy - the sovereign of Yeru Shalem, the sovereign of Hebron, the sovereign of Yarmuth, the sovereign of Lachish, the sovereign of Eglon, gather together and ascend - they and all their camps and encamp against Gibon and fight.

²³ - and thus they work, and bring those five sovereigns to him from the cave: the sovereign of Yeru Shalem, the sovereign of Hebron, the sovereign of Yarmuth, the sovereign of Lachish, and the sovereign of Eglon.

²⁸ And that day Yah Shua captures Maqqedah, and smites it with the mouth of the sword; and devotes the sovereign thereof - them, and all the souls therein; - no survivors survive: and he works to the sovereign of Maqqedah as he worked to the sovereign of Yericho. ²⁹
YAH SHUA CONQUERS SOUTHERN PELESHETH And Yah Shua and all Yisra El pass from Maqqedah to Libnah; and fights Libnah: ³⁰ and Yah Veh also gives it and the sovereign thereof into the hand of Yisra El; and he smites it and all the souls therein with the mouth of the sword; no survivors survive: and he works to the sovereign thereof as he worked to the sovereign of Yericho. ³¹ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El passes from Libnah to Lachish; and encamps against it, and fights against it: ³² and Yah Veh gives Lachish into the hand of Yisra El - who capture it on the second day and smites it and all the souls therein with the mouth of the sword according to all he worked to Libnah. ³³ Horam sovereign of Gezer ascends to help Lachish; and Yah Shua smites him and his people until no survivors survive. ³⁴ And from Lachish, Yah Shua and all Yisra El pass to Eglon; and they encamp against it, and fight against it: ³⁵ and they capture it that day and smite it with the mouth of the sword - and he devotes all the souls therein that day, according to all he worked to Lachish. ³⁶ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El ascend from Eglon, to Hebron; and they fight against it ³⁷ and capture it: and smite it and the sovereign thereof and all the cities thereof and all the souls therein with the mouth of the sword; no survivors survive: according to all he worked to Eglon; but devoted it and all the souls therein. ³⁸ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El return to Debir; and fights against it: ³⁹ and he captures it and the sovereign thereof and all the cities thereof; and they smite them with the mouth of the sword, and devote all the souls therein; no survivors survive: as he worked to Hebron, thus he works to Debir and to the sovereign thereof as he also worked to Libnah and to her sovereign.

⁴³ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El return to the camp to Gilgal.

¹
YAH SHUA CONQUERS NORTHERN PELESHETH And so be it, Yabyn sovereign of Hasor hears, and he sends to Yobab sovereign of Madon and to the sovereign of Shimron and to the sovereign of Achshaph; ² and to the sovereigns north of the mountains and of the plains south of Kinneroth and in the lowland and in the heights of Dor seaward; ³ and to the Kenaaniy from the rising and seaward; and to the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Yebusiy in the mountains; and to the Hivviy under Hermon in the land of Mispeh: ⁴ and they go - they with all their camps - many people - as the sand on the sea lip in abundance with horses and chariots; mighty many: ⁵ and all these sovereigns congregate; and come and encamp together at the waters of Merom to fight against Yisra El.

¹⁰ And at that time, Yah Shua turns back and captures Hasor; and smites the sovereign thereof with the sword: for formerly Hasor was the head of all those sovereigndoms. ¹¹ And they smite all the souls therein with the mouth of the sword - devoting them - no survivor having breath: and he burns Hasor with fire:

¹⁷ - from mount Halak ascending to Seir to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and captures all their sovereigns and smites them and deathifies them.

¹⁹ - not a city shalams with the sons of Yisra El, except the Hivviy the settlers of Gibon: they take all in war.

⁴ and the border of Og, sovereign of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, settling at Ashtaroth and at Edrei;

⁷ And these are the sovereigns of the land Yah Shua and the sons of Yisra El smite on this side Yarden seaward - from Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon to the mount Halak ascending to Seir; Yah Shua gives to the scions of Yisra El for a possession according to their allotment: ⁸ in the mountains and in the lowlands and in the plains and in the springs and in the wilderness and in the south land; the Hethiy, the Emoriy, and the Kenaaniy, the Perizziy, the Hivviy, and the Yebusiy: ⁹ the sovereign of Yericho, one; the sovereign of Ay beside Beth El, one; ¹⁰ the sovereign of Yeru Shalem, one; the sovereign of Hebron, one; ¹¹ the sovereign of Yarmuth, one; the sovereign of Lachish, one; ¹² the sovereign of Eglon, one; the sovereign of Gezer, one; ¹³ the sovereign of Debir, one; the sovereign of Geder, one; ¹⁴ the sovereign of Hormah, one; the sovereign of Arad, one; ¹⁵ the sovereign of Libnah, one; the sovereign of Adullam, one; ¹⁶ the sovereign of Maqqedah, one; the sovereign of Beth El, one; ¹⁷ the sovereign of Tappuach, one; the sovereign of Hepher, one; ¹⁸ the sovereign of Apheq, one; the sovereign of Lasharon, one; ¹⁹ the sovereign of Madon, one; the sovereign of Hasor, one; ²⁰ the sovereign of Shimron Meron, one; the sovereign of Achshaph, one; ²¹ the sovereign of Taanach, one; the sovereign of Megiddo, one; ²² the sovereign of Qedesh, one; the sovereign of Yoqne Am of Karmel, one; ²³ the sovereign of Dor in the heights of Dor, one; the sovereign of the goyim of Gilgal, one; ²⁴ the sovereign of Tirsah, one: - all the sovereigns thirty-one.

⁵ the land of the Gibliy and all Lebanon; from the rising sun - from Baal Gad under mount Hermon to the entering to Hamath:

⁹ and the border is surveyed from the top of the mountain to the fountain of Mayim Nephtoach and goes to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border is surveyed to Baal Ah which is Qiryath Arim;

¹² And the seaward border: to the great sea and the border thereof. - this is the border of the sons of Yah Hudah all around according to their families.

⁶⁰ Qiryath Baal which is Qiryath Arim and Rabbah - two cities with their courts.

¹⁴ and the border is surveyed and goes around the edge of the sea southward; from the mountain at the face of Beth Horon southward; and the exits are at Qiryath Baal which is Qiryath Arim, a city of the sons of Yah Hudah; this is the sea edge:

²⁵ Gibon and Ramah and Beeroth ²⁶ and Mispeh and Kephirah and Mosah ²⁷ and Reqem and Yirpe El and Taralah ²⁸ and Sela, Chiliarch and Yebusi which is Yeru Shalem Gibath and Qiryath - fourteen cities with their courts. - this is the inheritance of the sons of Ben Yamin according to their families.

⁴ And now Yah Veh your Elohim rests your brothers as he worded them: and now face and go to your tents - to the land of your possession Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh gave you beyond Yarden.

⁷ And Mosheh gives to the half scion of Menash Sheh in Bashan: and Yah Shua gives to the half among their brothers beyond Yarden seaward: and Yah Shua sends them to their tents and blesses them,

⁴ See, I felled for you these goyim who survive to be an inheritance for your scions - from Yarden, and all the goyim I cut off, to the great sea at the entry of the sun.

¹¹ And you passed over Yarden and came to Yericho: and the masters of Yericho fought against you - the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Girgashiy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy; and I gave them into your hand:

¹
YISRA EL CAPTURES KENAAN
And so be it, after the death of Yah Shua, the sons of Yisra El ask Yah Veh, saying, Who ascends for us against the Kenaaniy to begin to fight against them?

² and you, cut no covenant with the settlers of this land; pull down their sacrifice altars - and you hearken not to my voice: Why work you this?

¹⁵ And he comes to the men of Sukkoth/Brush Arbors and says, Behold Zebach and Sal Munna, with whom you reproached me, saying, Are the palms of Zebach and Sal Munna now in your hand, that we give bread to your men who are weary?

¹⁵ And the sons of Yisra El say to Yah Veh, We sin! Work to us whatever seems good in your eyes; only, rescue us, we beseech you, this day.

¹⁸ And the sons of Yisra El rise and ascend to the house of Elohim and ask counsel of Elohim, and say, Who of us goes to war at the beginning against the sons of Ben Yamin? And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah, at the beginning.

²⁸ and Pinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon stands at the face of it in those days, saying, Go I yet again to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? Or cease? And Yah Veh says, Ascend; for tomorrow I give them into your hand.

¹⁸ And Shemu El tells him every word and conceals naught from him. And he says, It is Yah Veh: may he work what seems good in his eyes.

¹ And the men of Qiryath Arim come and ascend the ark of Yah Veh and bring it into the house of Abi Nadab in Gibah; and hallow El Azar his son to guard the ark of Yah Veh.

¹⁸ And Shaul says to Achiy Yah, Bring near the ark of Elohim. - for that day the ark of Elohim is with the sons of Yisra El. ¹⁹ And so be it, as Shaul words to the priest, that in walking, the multitude in the camp of the Peleshethiy walks on and greatens. And Shaul says to the priest, Gather your hand.

¹⁰ and he asked of Yah Veh for him; and gave him hunt and gave him the sword of Golyath the Peleshethiy.

⁹ And David knows Shaul plots evil against him; and he says to Abi Athar the priest, Bring near the ephod. ¹⁰ And David says, O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, In hearing, your servant hears that Shaul seeks to come to Qeilah to ruin the city for my sake: ¹¹ The masters of Qeilah, shut they me into his hand? Descends Shaul, as your servant hears? O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I beseech you, tell your servant. And Yah Veh says, He descends. ¹² Then David says, The masters of Qeilah, shut they me and my men into the hand of Shaul? And Yah Veh says, They shut you.

⁷ and David says to Abi Athar the priest the son of Achiy Melech, I beseech you, bring near the ephod. - and Abi Athar brings near the ephod to David. ⁸ And David asks at Yah Veh, saying, Pursue I after this troop? Overtake them? And he says to him, Pursue! In overtaking, overtake! And in rescuing, rescue!

¹
DAVID ANOINTED SOVEREIGN
And so be it, after this, David asks of Yah Veh, saying, Ascend I into one of the cities of Yah Hudah? And Yah Veh says to him, Ascend. And David says, Whither ascend I? And he says, To Hebron.

¹⁹ And David asks Yah Veh, saying, Ascend I to the Peleshethiy? Give you them into my hand? And Yah Veh says to David, Ascend! For in giving, I give the Peleshethiy into your hand.

¹
REVENGE OF THE GIBONIY
And there is a famine in the days of David - three years - year after year; and David seeks the face of Yah Veh. And Yah Veh says, It is for Shaul and for the bloody house, because he deathified the Giboniy.

¹
REVENGE OF THE GIBONIY
And there is a famine in the days of David - three years - year after year; and David seeks the face of Yah Veh. And Yah Veh says, It is for Shaul and for the bloody house, because he deathified the Giboniy. ² And the sovereign calls the Giboniy and says to them - now the Giboniy are not of the sons of Yisra El but of the remnant of the Emoriy - and the sons of Yisra El oathed to them: - and Shaul sought to smite them in his jealousy toward the sons of Yisra El and Yah Hudah:

² And the sovereign calls the Giboniy and says to them - now the Giboniy are not of the sons of Yisra El but of the remnant of the Emoriy - and the sons of Yisra El oathed to them: - and Shaul sought to smite them in his jealousy toward the sons of Yisra El and Yah Hudah:

² And the sovereign calls the Giboniy and says to them - now the Giboniy are not of the sons of Yisra El but of the remnant of the Emoriy - and the sons of Yisra El oathed to them: - and Shaul sought to smite them in his jealousy toward the sons of Yisra El and Yah Hudah: ³ - yes, David says to the Giboniy, What work I for you? Wherewith kapar/atone I for you so that you bless the inheritance of Yah Veh? ⁴ And the Giboniy says to him, We have silver and gold neither of Shaul nor of his house; nor for us to deathify any man in Yisra El. And he says, Whatever you say, I work for you. ⁵ And they say to the sovereign, The man who finishes us off - who considers against us desolates us from standing by in any of the borders of Yisra El: ⁶ give us seven men of his sons and we impale them to Yah Veh in Gibah of Shaul, whomever Yah Veh chooses. And the sovereign says, I give them. ⁷ And the sovereign spares Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul because of the oath of Yah Veh between them - between David and between Yah Nathan the son of Shaul.

¹⁴ And David says to Gad, I tribulate mightily: may we fall now into the hand of Yah Veh - for his mercies are many: and may I not fall to the hand of humanity.

⁴¹ And also concerning a stranger - not of your people Yisra El, but comes from a far land for sake of your name

²⁰ - all the people who remain of the Emoriy, Hethiy, Perizziy, Hivviy and Yebusiy who are not of the sons of Yisra El, ²¹ their sons who remain after them in the land, whom the sons of Yisra El were not able to devote - Shelomoh ascends a vassal of service on them to this day.

³¹ And his servants say to him, Behold now, we hear that the sovereigns of the house of Yisra El are merciful sovereigns: have us, I beseech you, set saq on our loins and lines on our heads and go to the sovereign of Yisra El: peradventure he keeps your soul alive. ³² And they gird saq on their loins and put lines on their heads and come to the sovereign of Yisra El and say, Your servant Ben Hadad says, I beseech you, may my soul live. And he says, Is he still alive? he is my brother. ³³ Now the men prognosticate of him and they hasten and snatch: and they say, Your brother Ben Hadad. Then he says, Go! Take him! Then Ben Hadad goes to him; and he ascends him into the chariot

⁵ And him over the house and him over the city and the elders and the amenable send to Yah Hu, saying, We are your servants and work all you say to us; we have no man to reign: work what is good in your eyes.

¹⁴ And Yesha Yah the prophet comes to sovereign Yechizqi Yah and says to him, What say these men? And whence come they to you? And Yechizqi Yah says, They come from a far land - from Babel.

⁷¹ To the sons of Gershom - from the family of the half rod of Menash Sheh: Golan in Bashan with her suburbs and Ashtaroth with her suburbs

¹³ And Shaul dies for the treason he treasoned against Yah Veh - against the word of Yah Veh which he guarded not and also for asking of a necromancer, - to enquire ¹⁴ and not enquire of Yah Veh: so he deathifies him and turns the sovereigndom to David the son of Yishay.

⁵ And David congregates all Yisra El from Shichor of Misrayim even to the entering of Hamath; to bring the ark of Elohim from Qiryath Arim. ⁶ And David and all Yisra El ascend to Baal Ah - to Qiryath Arim, Yah Hudah to ascend there the ark of Elohim Yah Veh that settles between the cherubim, where the Name is called upon it.

²⁹ And the tabernacle of Yah Veh, Mosheh worked in the wilderness and the sacrifice altar of the holocaust, are at that time in the bamah at Gibon:

³ and Shelomoh and all his congregation go to the bamah at Gibon; for the tent of the congregation of Elohim Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh worked in the wilderness is there: ⁴ but David ascended the ark of Elohim from Qiryath Arim when David prepared for it: for he spreads a tent for it at Yeru Shalem:

¹⁷ And Shelomoh scribes all the men sojourners in the land of Yisra El, after the scribing David his father scribed them; and they find a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. ¹⁸ And he works seventy thousand burdenbearers and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain and three thousand and six hundred overseers to serve the people who serve.

³² And also, concerning the stranger, who is not of your people Yisra El, who comes from a far land for sake of your great name and your strong hand and your spread arm - if they come and pray in this house ³³ then hear from the heavens - even the place of your settlement; and work according to all for which the stranger calls to you; that all people of the earth may know your name and awe you, as your people Yisra El; and know that this house I built is called by your name.

¹
SONS OF MOAB AND AMMON COME AGAINST YAH SHAPHAT
And so be it, after this, the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon and of the Ammoniy with them, come against Yah Shaphat to war. ² And some come who tell Yah Shaphat, saying, A great multitude comes against you from beyond the sea on this side Aram; and behold, they are in Haseson Tamar - En Gedi. ³ And Yah Shaphat awes and gives his face to seek Yah Veh; and calls a fast over all Yah Hudah: ⁴ and Yah Hudah gathers to seek Yah Veh - even from all the cities of Yah Hudah they come to seek Yah Veh. ⁵ And Yah Shaphat stands in the congregation of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem in the house of Yah Veh at the face of the new court, ⁶ and says, O Yah Veh Elohim of our fathers, Are you not Elohim in the heavens? Yes, you reign over all the sovereigndoms of the goyim! And force and might are in your hand so that no one is able to withstand you! ⁷ Are not you our Elohim who dispossessed the settlers of this land at the face of your people Yisra El? And gave it to the seed of Abraham your beloved eternally? ⁸ And they settle therein and build you a holies for your name, saying, ⁹ If, evil comes on us, as the sword, judgment or pestilence or famine we stand at the face of this house and at your face - for your name is in this house and cry to you in our tribulation; and you hear and save. ¹⁰ And now, behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom you gave not Yisra El to invade when they came from the land of Misrayim - for they turned aside from them and desolated them not: ¹¹ - and behold, how they deal us, to come to expel us from the possession you gave us to possess. ¹² O our Elohim, judge you them not? We have no force at the face of this great multitude who comes against us; and we know not what to work: but our eyes are on you. ¹³ And all Yah Hudah stands at the face of Yah Veh, with their toddlers, their women and their sons: ¹⁴ and the Spirit of Yah Veh comes upon Yachazi El the son of Zechar Yah the son of Bena Yah the son of Yei El the son of Mattan Yah - a Leviy of the sons of Asaph midst the congregation; ¹⁵ and he says, Hearken, all Yah Hudah, and you, settlers of Yeru Shalem, and you, sovereign Yah Shaphat: thus says Yah Veh to you: Neither awe nor terrify at the face of this great multitude; for the war is not to you, but to Elohim: ¹⁶ tomorrow descend against them: behold, they ascend by the ascent of Sis; and you find them at the end of the wadi at the face of the wilderness of Yeru El. ¹⁷ Fight not in this: Set yourselves! Stand! See the salvation of Yah Veh with you, O Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: neither awe nor terrify: tomorrow go out at their face and Yah Veh is with you. ¹⁸ And Yah Shaphat bows with nostrils to the earth: and all Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem fall at the face of Yah Veh, and prostrate to Yah Veh: ¹⁹ and the Leviym of the sons of the Qehathiy and of the sons of the Qorachiy rise to halal Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with a great voice on high. ²⁰ And they start early in the morning and go to the wilderness of Teqoha: and as they go Yah Shaphat stands and says, Hear me, O Yah Hudah and you settlers of Yeru Shalem; Trust in Yah Veh your Elohim, amenable; trust his prophets, prosper. ²¹ And he counsels with the people, and he stands singers to Yah Veh to halal the majesty of holiness as they go from the face of the equipped saying, Spread hands to Yah Veh; for his mercy eternal. ²² And at the time they begin to shout and to halal Yah Veh lurks against the sons of Ammon, Moab and mount Seir, who come against Yah Hudah; and they smite one another: ²³ and the sons of Ammon and Moab stand against the settlers of mount Seir to devote and desolate them: and they finish off the settlers of Seir, and each man helps to ruin his friend. ²⁴ And Yah Hudah comes to Mispeh in the wilderness, and they face the multitude, and behold, their carcases fallen to the earth; and none escape. ²⁵ And Yah Shaphat and his people come to plunder the spoil; and among the carcases, they find in abundance, both acquisitions and desirable instruments which they strip for themselves, without burden: and for three days they plunder the spoil - it is so much: ²⁶ and on the fourth day they congregate in the valley of Berachah/Blessing; and there they bless Yah Veh: so they call the name of the place, The valley of Berachah/Blessing, to this day. ²⁷ Then they return - every man of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem with Yah Shaphat at their head - return to Yeru Shalem with cheer; for Yah Veh cheers them over their enemies: ²⁸ and they come to Yeru Shalem with bagpipes and harps and trumpets to the house of Yah Veh: ²⁹ and the fear of Elohim is on all the sovereigndoms of those lands, when they hear that Yah Veh fights against the enemies of Yisra El: ³⁰ and the sovereigndom of Yah Shaphat rests: for his Elohim rests him all around.

¹³ and he also rebels against sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar - who has him oath by Elohim: but he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart from turning to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.

²⁵ the sons of Kirjatharim, Kephirah and Beeroth: seven hundred and forty-three;

²¹ And I call a fast there at the river of Ahava to humble ourselves at the face of our Elohim - to seek of him a straight way for us and for our toddlers and for all our acquisition:

²⁹ the men of Qiryath Arim Kephirah and Beeroth: seven hundred forty-three;

⁵ and of the Leviym, Yah Shua and Qadmi El, Bani, Hashabne Yah, Shereb Yah, Hodi Yah, Sheban Yah and Pethach Yah say, Rise and bless Yah Veh your Elohim eternally and eternally: and blessed - the name of your honor - exalted above all blessing and halal.

¹⁷ And jurisdiction by jurisdiction and city by city, and whatever place the word and edict of the sovereign touches, the Yah Hudiym cheer and rejoice - a banquet and a good day. And many of the people of the land Yah Hudahize; for the fear of the Yah Hudiym falls upon them.

⁴ And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Skin for skin; yes, all a man has he gives for his soul;

¹ Why do the goyim conspire and the nations meditate vanity? ² The sovereigns of the earth station themselves and the potentates set counsel together against Yah Veh and against his anointed.

⁴ His eyes despise a spurner but honor them who awe Yah Veh. He who oaths to villify, and changes not;

¹⁹ And blessed - his honored name eternally; and may the whole earth fills with his honor; Amen and Amen.

² For, behold, your enemies roar; they who hate you lift their head; ³ they strategize private counsel against your people; and counsel against your treasured ones. ⁴ They say, Come; and we cut them off from the goyim; that the name of Yisra El be no more remembered. ⁵ For they counseled together with one heart; they cut a covenant against you ⁶ - the tents of Edom and the Yishma Eliym, of Moab and the Hagariym, ⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amaleq, the Peleshethiym with the settlers of Sor ⁸ and Ashshur joins with them - an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

¹⁸ so that they know that you, whose name alone is Yah Veh, are Elyon over all the earth.

⁸³ For I become as a skin in smoke; yet I forget not your statutes.

¹³ Halal the name of Yah Veh; for his name alone is lofted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens:

⁵ Confide in Yah Veh with all your heart and lean not to your own discernment: ⁶ in all your ways know him and he straightens your paths:

²¹ Hand in hand, the evil are not exonerated; and the seed of the just escapes.

¹⁹ The lip of truth establishes eternally; and a false tongue is for a blink.

²⁵ It is a snare to the human who hastily chews what is holy and vows to search afterward.

² Neither terrify with your mouth nor hasten with your heart to utter a word at the face of Elohim; for Elohim is in the heavens - and you on earth; so be of few words.

⁶ Neither give your mouth that your flesh sin; nor say at the face of the angel, An inadvertent error! Why enrage Elohim at your voice and despoil the work of your hands?

² Guard the mouth of the sovereign and the word of the oath of Elohim.

² All in all; one happening: to the just and to the wicked; to the good and to the pure and to the foul; to him who sacrifices and to him who sacrifices not; as the good, thus the sinner; he who oaths, as he who awes an oath.

⁹ Be broken, O you people - be broken; and hearken, all you of lands afar: gird, and be broken; gird, and be broken: ¹⁰ in counselling, counsel; and it breaks; word the word, and it rises not: for El is with us.

¹² You, say not, Conspiracy, to all them to whom this people say, Conspiracy; neither awe their awesomeness, nor be awed.

¹
HO TO THE REVOLTING SONS
Ho to the revolting sons - an oracle of Yah Veh who work counsel, but not mine; and who pour a pouring, but not of my spirit, who scrape up sin to sin: ² who walk to descend into Misrayim, and ask not at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the stronghold of Paroh, and to seek refuge in the shadow of Misrayim!

⁶ I enrage over my people; I profane my inheritance; and give them into your hand: you set them no mercies; you make your yoke on the aged mighty heavy.

¹⁵ Behold, in sojourning, they sojourn, but not by me: whosoever sojourns against you falls for your sake.

⁵ Behold, you call a goyim whom you know not, and goyim whom know you not run to you because of Yah Veh your Elohim, and for the Holy One of Yisra El; for he adorns you.

¹⁹ and I set a sign among them; and I send the escapees to the goyim - to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud - who draw the bow, - to Tubal, and Yavan - to the islands afar, who neither heard my fame nor saw my honor; and they tell my honor among the goyim:

² and you oath, Yah Veh lives! - in truth, in judgment and in justness: and the goyim bless themselves in him and in him they halal.

⁷ At that blink, when I word concerning a goyim, and concerning a sovereigndom, to uproot - and to pull down - and to destroy ⁸ - if that goyim, against whom I word, turns from their evil, then I sigh of the evil I fabricate to work to them.

¹⁴ As for me, behold, I am in your hand: work with me as seems good and straight in your eyes.

⁵ Then Sidqi Yah the sovereign says, Behold, he is in your hand: for the sovereign cannot word against you.

¹² Say, I beseech, to the rebellious house, Know you not what these are? Tell, Behold, the sovereign of Babel comes to Yeru Shalem, and takes the sovereign and the governors and leads them with him to Babel: ¹³ and takes of the seed of the kingdom and cuts a covenant with him and takes an oath of him: he also takes the mighty of the land: ¹⁴ so that the sovereigndom becomes lowly - that it not lift itself; to guard his covenant, so that it stands. ¹⁵ And he rebels against him by sending his angels into Misrayim, so that they give him horses and much people. Prospers he? Escapes he who works such? Or, breaks he the covenant and escapes? ¹⁶ I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh in the place of the sovereign who has him reign - whose oath he despises and whose covenant he breaks, dies he not with him midst Babel? ¹⁷ Not even Paroh with his great valiant and great congregation works for him in the war by pouring mounds, and building battering towers to cut off many souls: ¹⁸ seeing he despises the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gives his hand to work all these; he escapes not. ¹⁹ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I live! My oath that he despises, and my covenant that he breaks, give I not on his own head? ²⁰ And I spread my net on him and apprehend him in my lure; and I bring him to Babel, and there I plead with him for the treason he treasons against me: ²¹ and all his fugitives with all his bands fall by the sword; and scatter them who survive toward all winds: and you know that I Yah Veh have worded.

⁹ Call this out among the goyim! Hallow war! Waken the mighty! Draw all the men of war near! Ascend them! ¹⁰ Forge your plowshares into swords and your psalmpicks into javelins! Have the vanquished say, I am mighty. ¹¹ Hurry and come, all you goyim! And gather yourselves together all around: and there have your mighty ones descend, O Yah Veh. ¹² Waken, O goyim; and ascend to Gay Yah Shaphat/Valley Yah Judges: for there I sit to judge all the goyim all around. ¹³ Spread the sickle; for the harvest ripens: come, descend; for the winepress fills: the troughs overflow; for their evil is great.

³ And he says to me, This is the oath going over the face of the whole earth: for every one who steals is exonerated as on this side, thus; and every one who oaths is exonerated as on that side, thus. ⁴ I bring it forth - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth and it enters into the house of the thief and into his house who oaths falsely by my name: and it stays overnight midst his house and finishs it off with the timber and the stones. THE EPHAH

⁵ And I approach you for judgment; and I become a hasty witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false oathers and against those who oppress the hireling in his hire - the widow and the orphan; and who pervert the sojourner and awe me not, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

THE PARABLE OF SKINS
Men put not new wine into old skins: and if not, the skins burst and the wine pours and the skins destruct: but they put new wine into new skins, and preserve both.

⁹
THE POSSESSIONS OF AN APOSTLE
Acquire neither gold nor silver nor copper in your girdles ¹⁰ nor wallet in the way nor two tunics nor shoes nor rod: for the worker is worthy of his nourishment.

¹⁶ Behold, I apostolize you as sheep among wolves: so be thoughtful as serpents, and unadulterated as doves.

²⁸ And awe not them who slaughter the body, but are not able to slaughter the soul: but rather awe him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

²⁶ Yes, Father: for thus it becomes well-approved in front of you.

²²
NEW WINE, NEW SKINS
And no one puts new wine into old skins: but if not, the new wine bursts the skins; and the wine pours and the skins destruct: - but new wine must be put into new skins.

³⁷ And no one puts new wine in old skins; but if not, the new wine bursts the skins and pours, and the skins destruct. ³⁸ But new wine must be put into new skins; and both are preserved.

³ And he says to them, Take naught for your journey - neither rod nor wallet nor bread nor silver; nor have two tunics each:

²² But the father says to his servants, Bring the preeminent stole and endue him; and give a finger ring on his hand and shoes on his feet;

⁸ And Adonay halals the unjust administrator because he did thoughtfully: for the sons of this eon in their generation are more thoughtful than the sons of light.

²⁶ The sovereigns of the earth stand, and the archs gather together against Yah Veh and against his Messiah. ^{Psalm 2:1, 2 27} For of a truth, against your holy lad Yah Shua whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilatos with the goyim and the people of Yisra El gathered together, ²⁸ to do as much as your hand and your counsel predetermined to become.

⁷ For impure spirits, crying with mega voice, come from many of the possessed: and many paralyzed and lame are cured;

³¹ uncomprehending, uncovenanted, selfish, disagreeable, unmercied:

³ And I awe, lest somehow, as the serpent seduced Havvah in his cunning, that thus you corrupt your comprehensions from the liberality in the Messiah.

¹⁰ for whoremongers, for homosexuals, for men subduers, for liars, for perjurers; and if any other that is adverse to sound doctrine,

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, ask of Elohim who gives liberally to all and reproaches not - and he is given.

¹⁴ for they are spirits of demons doing signs who proceed to the sovereigns of the earth and of the whole world - to gather them to the war of that mega day of El Sabaoth.

⁸ and goes to seduce the goyim in the four corners of the earth - Gog and Magog - to gather them together to war: whose number is as the sand of the sea. ⁹ And they ascend on the breadth of the earth and surround the encampment of the holy and the beloved city: and fire descends from Elohim from the heavens and consumes them.
