³¹ And I wyll make thy costes from the redd see vnto the see of the Philistines, and from the deserte vnto the ryuer. For I wyll delyuer the inhabyters of the lande into thyne hande, and thou shalt dryue them oute before the.

²² There was not one Enakite leafte in the lande of the chyldren of Israell, only in Asah Geth, and Asdod, there remayned of them.

³ from Nilus which is on the outwarde parte of Egipt, vnto the borders of Aeckron northward, which lande is counted vnto Cananye, euen fyue Lordshippes of the Philistines, the Asathites, Asdodith, Ascalonites, Gethites, Akaronites, & the Euites.

⁴⁵ Akron with her townes & villages. ⁴⁶ From Akron & from the west, all that lyeth aboute Asdod wt their villages. ⁴⁷ Asdod with hertownes & villages. Azah with her townes & villages, euen vnto the ryuer of Egypte and the great see was their coaste.

³ Of those whom he left, there were fyue lordes of the Philistines, & all the Cananites, & the Sodonites, and the Heuites that dwelt in mount Libanon: euen from mount Baal Hermon vnto Hemath.

¹ Then wente Samson to Azath, and sawe ther an harlot, and went in vnto her. ² And it was tolde the Azathites, sayeng: Samson is come hither. And they went aboute, & layde awayte for hym there, all nyght in the gate of the cytie, and were still all the nyght, saying: in the mornyng whan it is daye, we shall kyll hym.

²¹ But the Philistines toke hym, and put oute his eyes, & brought hym downe to Azath, and bounde hym with two fetters of brasse. And he dyd grynde in the preson house,

¹⁷ And these are the golden arsses which the Philistines gaue to amendes for a trespace offring, to the Lorde: for Asdod one: for Gaza one: for Askalon one: for Gath one: and for Akaron one.

² And God was with Ioseph, & he became a luckye man, continuynge in the house of his master the Egyptian.

²¹ but the Lorde was wyth Ioseph, and shewed hym mercye, and gote hym fauoure in the syghte of the Lorde of the preson.

⁷ and toke syxe hundred chosen charettes and all the charettes of Egipt and captaynes vpon euery one of them. ⁸ And the Lord hardened the hert of Pharao kyng of Egipt, and he folowed after the chyldren of Israel. But the children of Israel wente out with an hye hande: ⁹ and the Egipcians folowed after them, and all the horses and charettes of Pharao and his horsemen and his hoost ouertoke them abyding by the see, besyde Pi Hiroth before Baal zephon. ¹⁰ And when Pharao drewe nie, the children of Israel lyft vp their eyes and beholde, the Egipcians folowed after them, and they were sore afrayde: and the children of Israel cryed out vnto the Lorde. ¹¹ But they sayde vnto Moses: because there were no graues in Egipt, hast thou therfore brought vs awaye for to dye in the wyldernes? wherfore hast thou serued vs thus, for to carye vs out of Egipte? ¹² Dyd not we tell the this in Egipt, saying: let vs be in rest, that we maye serue the Egipcians? For it had bene better for vs to haue serued the Egipcians then for to dye in the wildernesse. ¹³ And Moses sayde vnto the people: feare ye not, stande styll, & beholde, howe the Lorde shall saue you this daie. For ye that haue sene the Egipcians this daye, shall se them nomore for euer. ¹⁴ The Lorde shall fyght for you, and ye shall holde your peace. ¹⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: wherfore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forwarde. ¹⁶ But lyfte thou vp thy rodd, and stretche oute thy hande ouer the see, and deuide it a sondre, and let the children of Israel go on drye grounde thorowe the middest of the see. ¹⁷ And behold, I will harden the hert of the Egipcians that they maye folowe them. And I wyll get me honoure vpon Pharao and vpon all his host, and vpon his charettes and vpon his horsmen. ¹⁸ And the Egipcians shall knowe that I am the Lorde when I haue gotten me honoure vpon Pharao, vpon his charettes and vpon his horsmen. ¹⁹ And the angell of God which went before the hoost of Israel remoued, and beganne to go behynde them. And the clowden piller that was before the face of them beganne to stonde behynde them, ²⁰ and came betwene the hoost of the Egipcians and the hooste of Israel. It was also a darcke clowde, and gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght long the one came not at the other. ²¹ And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see: and the Lord caryed awaye the see by a verye stronge easte wynde all that nyght, and made the see drye lande, and the waters were deuyded. ²² And the children of Israel went into the myddest of the see vpon the drye grounde. And the waters were a walle vnto them, on their ryght hande, and on their lefte hande. ²³ And the Egipcians folowed and went in after them to the myddest of the see, euen all Pharaos horses, hys charettes and his horsemen. ²⁴ And in the morning watch, the Lorde loked vnto the hoost of the Egipcians out of the fyery and clowdy pyller: and troubled the hoost of the Egipcians, ²⁵ and toke of hys charet wheles & caryed them awaye violently. So that the Egipcians sayde: Let vs fle from the face of Israel: for the Lorde fighteth for them agaynst the Egipcians. ²⁶ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: stretch out thyne hande ouer the see, that the waters maye come agayne vpon the Egipcian, vpon his charettes and vpon his horsemen. ²⁷ And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see, and it came agayne to his course rarly in the mornynge, and the Egipcians fledd agaynst it. And the Lorde ouerthrew the Egipcians in the myddest of the see: ²⁸ and the water returned and couered the charettes and the horsmen: and all the hoost of Pharao that came into the see after them, so that there remayned not one of them. ²⁹ But the chyldren of Israel walked vpon drye lande thorowe the myddest of the see, and the waters were a walle vnto them on the ryght hande of them, and on the left. ³⁰ Thus the Lorde delyuered Israel the selfe same daye out of the hande of the Egipcians: and Israel sawe the Egipcians deed vpon the see syde. ³¹ And Israel sawe that mightye power which the Lord shewed vpon the Egipcians: and the people feared the Lorde, and beleued the Lorde and his seruaunt Moses.

⁵ There shall not a man be able to withstande that all the dayes of thy lyfe. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with the and will not fayll the, nor forsake the.

⁹ Haue not I commaunded the, that thou shuldest be stronge & hardye & not feare ner be faynt harted? For I the Lord thy God am with the, whether soeuer thou goest.

¹² And therfore is it that the children of Israel cannot stande before their ennemyes, but shall turne their backes before their ennemyes because they be excommunicate. Nether will I be wt you any moare, excepte ye rote out the excommunicate from amonge you.

¹ And it fortuned, that when Iabin kyng of Hazor had hearde those thinges: he sent to Iobab kynge of Madon, & to the kyng of Simron, and to the kynge of Achsaph, ² and vnto the kynges that are by northe in the mountaynes, & playnes toward the southesyde of Ceneroth, and in the lowe countreys, & in the borders of Dor westward ³ and vnto the Cananytes bothe by Easte & weste, & vnto the Amorites, Hethites, Pheresites, and Iebusites in the mountaynes: & vnto the Heuites that were vnder Hermon in the lande of Mizpa: ⁴ And they came out and all their hostes with them, a multytude of folke, euen as the sande that is on the see shore in a greate nombre with horsses & charettes exceding manye. ⁵ And all these kynges mett together, and came, and pytched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight agaynst Israell. ⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: be not afrayde at the presence of them: for tomorowe aboute this tyme will I delyuer then all slayne before Israell: thou shalt hough their horsses, & burne their charettes with fire. ⁷ And so Iosua came and all the men of warre with hym agaynst them by the waters of Merom, & sodenlye fell vpon them. ⁸ And the Lorde delyuered them into the hande of Israell: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Sidon, & vnto the whott waters, and vnto the valeye of Mizpa which is Eastwarde: and smote them vntyll they had none remaynyng of them. ⁹ And Iosua dyd vnto them, as the Lorde bad hym: he houghed their horsses, and burnt their charettes with fyer.

¹² Now therfore geue me thys mountayne wherof the Lorde spake in that daye, for thou herdest in that daye, how the Enakins are there, and the cities great & walled. Peraduenture the Lorde wilbe with me, & I shall he able to dryue them out, as the Lorde sayd.

¹⁶ And the children of Ioseph sayd: The hill is not ynough for vs: & all the Cananites that dwel in the lowe contreye haue charettes of yron, & so haue they that enhabite Bethsean, and the townes of the same, & they also dwel in the valeye of Iezreel. ¹⁷ And Iosua sayde vnto the house of Ioseph, Ephraim & Manasses: ye be moche people, and haue great power, & shall not therfore haue one lotte. ¹⁸ Therfore the hill shalbe youres, & ye shall cut downe the wodd that is in it: & the endes of it shalbe youres, yf ye cast out the Cananites which haue yron charettes, & are very stronge.

² And the Lorde sayde: Iuda shall go vp beholde I haue delyuered the lande in to hys handes.

²⁷ Nether dyd Manasses expelle Bethsean with her townes, Thaanach wyth her townes, the enhabitoures of Dor with her townes, the enhabitoures of Ieblaam wyth her townes, nether the enhabitoures of Magedo wyth her townes, but the Cananites were bolde to dwell in the lande. ²⁸ But it came to passe that as sone as Israell was waxed myghtie, they put the Cananites to tribute and expelled them not. ²⁹ In lyke maner Ephraim expelled not the Cananytes that dwelt in Gazer, but the Cananytes dwelt stille in Gazer amonge them. ³⁰ Nether dyd Zabulon expelle the enhabytoures of ketron, nether the enhabytoures of Nahalol: But the Cananytes dwelt amonge them, and became trybutaries. ³¹ Nether dyd Aser cast out the enhabytoures of Acho, nether the enhabytoures of Zidon, & of Ahalab, Aczib, & Halbah, Aphek, ner of Rohob, ³² but the Aserites dwelt amonge the Cananites the enhabytoures of the lande, for they might not dryue them out.

¹² & the angell of the Lord apeared vnto hym, & sayde: the Lord is wyth the, thou mightie man of warre. ¹³ And Gedeon answered him: Oh my Lord, yf the Lord be wyth vs, why is all this come vpon vs? ye & where be all hys myracles which oure fathers tolde vs of, and sayde? Did not the lord bring vs out of Egypte? But now the Lorde hath forsaken vs, & delyuered vs into the handes of the Madianites.

¹⁰ And Dauid prospered & grew, and the Lord God of hostes was with him

⁷ And the Lorde was with hym: so that he prospered in all thynges which he toke in hande. And he rebelled agaynst the kynge of Assyria, and serued him not.

⁷ The Lord of Hostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure refuge. Sela.

⁹ He maketh warres to ceasse in all the worlde: he breaketh the bowe & knappeth the speare in sonder, & burneth the charettes in the fyre.

¹¹ The Lorde of Hostes is wyth vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence. Sela.

¹² Thorow God we shall do great actes, for it is he that shal treade downe our enemyes.

¹⁴ And therfore the Lord shall geue you a token: Behold, a vyrgin shall conceaue and beare a sonne, and (thou hys mother) shalt cal his name Emanuel.

¹⁰ take your councell together, yet must your councel come to naught: go in hande withall, yet shall it not prospere: for God is with vs.

¹⁰ be not afrayed, for I am wt the. Melt not away as waxe, for I am thy God, to strength the, helpe the, & to kepe the wt this ryght hande of myne.

¹⁴ Be not afrayde thou lytle worme Iacob, & thou despysed Israel: for I wyll helpe the, sayeth the Lorde, and the holy one of Israel thyne auenger. ¹⁵ Beholde, I wyll make the a treading cart and a new flayle, that thou mayst thresshe and grinde the mountaynes, and brynge the hylles to poulder.

²³ Behold, a mayd shalbe wt chylde, & shall bring forth a sonne, & they shall call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interpret, it is asmoch to say as God with vs.

³⁰ But when he sawe a myghty wynde, he was afrayed. And when he beganne to syncke, he cryed sayinge: lorde saue me. ³¹ And immediatly Iesus stretched forth his hand, & caught him, & sayd vnto him: O thou of lytell fayth, wherfore dyddest thou dout?

¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Iesus secretly & sayde: Why could not we cast hym out? ²⁰ Iesus sayd vnto them: Because of youre vnbelefe. For verely I saye vnto you: yf ye haue fayth as a grayne of musterd seed, ye shall saye vnto this mountayne: remoue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: nether shal eny thinge be vnpossible vnto you.

³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs?

¹³ I can do all thinges thorowe Christ which strengtheneth me.

²⁴ But my seruaunt Caleb: with whom there was another maner of sprete: and because he hath folowed me vnto the vtmost, hym will I brynge into the lande whiche he hath walked in, and his seed shall inheret it,

³⁶ saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, he shall se it and to hym wyll I geue that lande that he hath trodden vpon, and to his chyldren, because he hath folowed the Lord

⁹ And Moses sware the same daye, saying: the lande wheron thy fete haue troaden, shalbe thyne enheritaunce and thy chyldrens for euer, because thou hast folowed the Lorde God. ¹⁰ And beholde, the Lorde hath kept me alyue (as he sayde) this fourtye and fyue yeares, euen sence the Lord spake this word vnto Moses, whyle the chyldren of Israell wanderyd in the wyldernesse. And now lo, I am this daye foure skore & fyue yere old: ¹¹ & yet am as stronge at this tyme, as I was when Moses sent me: looke how stronge I was then, so strong am I now whether I go to warre, or come agayne. ¹² Now therfore geue me thys mountayne wherof the Lorde spake in that daye, for thou herdest in that daye, how the Enakins are there, and the cities great & walled. Peraduenture the Lorde wilbe with me, & I shall he able to dryue them out, as the Lorde sayd. ¹³ And Iosua blessed him, & gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephune, Hebron to enheret. ¹⁴ And Hebron therfore became the enheritaunce of Caleb the sonne of Iephune the kenesite, vnto thys daye: because he folowed the Lord God of Israell.

¹³ And vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephune dyd Iosua geue a parte among the children of Iuda, accordynge to the mouthe of the Lorde, euen kiriatharbe of the father of Enock, whiche cytye is Hebron. ¹⁴ And Caleb droue thence the thre sonnes of Enack, Sesai, and Ahman, and Thalmai, which were, the sonnes of Enack.

¹¹ And they gaue them kariath Arbe of the father of Enack (which is Hebron) in the hyll contreye of Iuda, with the Suburbes of the same rounde about it. ¹² But the londe that pertayned to the cytie, and the villages therof, gaue they to Caleb the sonne ne of Iephune, to be his possession.

¹⁰ And Iuda went against the Cananites that dwelt in Hebron, which before time was called kariath Arbe. And slew Sesai, Ahiman & Thalmai.

¹¹ And the lotte of the tribe of the children of Beniamin came vp according to their kynredes. And the coaste of their lotte came out betwene the children of Iuda and the children of Ioseph. ¹² And their north coaste was from Iordan, and went vp to the syde of Iericho on the northsyde, & went vp thorowe the mountaynes westward, & they ended at the wildernesse of Bethauen: ¹³ and went from thence to the southsyde of Lus (the same is Bethel) & descended agayne to Atrothadar, vnto the hylle that lyeth on the southe syde of the nether Bethhoron. ¹⁴ And the coaste turneth thence, & compaseth the corner of the see southwarde, euen from the hill that lyeth before Bethhoron southwarde, & goeth out at kiriathbaal which is kiriath Iarim, a cytie of the children of Iuda: this is the west quarter: ¹⁵ & the south coaste goeth from the edge of kiriathiarim, and gothe out westwarde, and thence it turneth to the waterwell of Nephthoah, ¹⁶ & commeth downe agayne to the edge of the hill, that lyeth before the valeye of the sonne of Hennon, euen in the valeye of the Giauntes northwarde and descendeth into the valeye of Hennon besyde Iebusy southwarde, and gothe downe to the well of Rogell, ¹⁷ and compaseth from the north, and goeth forth to the well of the sonne, and departeth from thence to the places of Geliloth, which are toward the goyng vp vnto Adomim: & goeth downe to the stone of Bohan the sonne of Ruben: ¹⁸ & then goeth alonge towarde the syde of the playne, northwarde: and goeth downe into the feldes: ¹⁹ and goeth along to the syde of Bethhaglah northwarde, & endeth at the pointe of the salt see north therfrom, euen at the south ende of Iordan. This is the southe coaste. ²⁰ And Iordan kepeth in this coast on the east syde, and this is the enheritaunce of the children of Beniamin by their coastes rounde aboute thorow out their kynredes. ²¹ These were the cyties of the trybes of the children of Beniamin thorow out theire kynredes: Iericho, Bethhaglah, & the playne of Kaziz: ²² Betharabah, Zamarim, & Bethel: ²³ Auim, Pharah, and Ophrah: ²⁴ Chepar Ammona, Ophni, & Gabai, twelue cyties with their villages. ²⁵ Gibeon, Ramah, & Beroth: ²⁶ Mazphah, Caphairah, and Mozah: ²⁷ Reken, Iarephel, and Tharelah, ²⁸ Zela, Eleph, and Iebusi, which is Ierusalem, Gibeath, and kiriath, fourtene cyties with their villages. This is the enheritaunce of the children of Beniamin thorowe out their kynredes,

⁸ The children of Iuda fought agaynst Ierusalem, and toke it and smote it wyth the edge of the swerde, and set the cytie on fire,

¹⁰ Neuerthelater the man wolde not tary, but arose and departed, and came as ferre as Iebus, (which is Ierusalem) and his two asses laden, and his concubine and his ladd with him. ¹¹ And when they were fast by Iebus the daye was sore spent, and the younge man sayd vnto his master: come I praye the and let vs turne in, into this cytie of the Iebusites and lodge all night there. ¹² His master answered him: we will not turne into a straunge cytie that are not of the chyldren of Israel: we wyll go forth to Gibea.

⁶ The kyng also and his men went to Ierusalem, vnto the Iebusites, the enhabiters of the land. Which spake vnto Dauid sayeng: except thou take awaye the blynde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither. For they sayd: Thou art not able to come in hither. ⁷ Neuerthelesse Dauid toke the strong holde of Sion. The same is the citie of Dauid. ⁸ And Dauid sayd the same daye: Whosoeuer smyteth the Iebusites, & getteth vp to the gutters of the houses, & smyteth the lame & the blynd that hate Dauids soule? Wherfore: they sayd, the blynd and the lame shall not come into the house. ⁹ And so Dauid dwelt in the towre, & called it in the citye of Dauid, & buylt round about it from Millo inwarde.

²⁴ But hys bowe abode fast, and the armes of hys handes were made stronge, by the handes of the myghtye God of Iacob. Out of hym shall come an herde man, a stone in Israel:

¹⁰ Amonge the chyldren of Ioseph: of Ephraim, Elisama the sonne of Amihud: of Manasse, Gamaliel the sonne of Peda Zur:

³² Of the chyldren of Ioseph: Namely, of the chyldren of Ephraim thorowe out theyr generacyons and theyr kynredes and houses of theyr fathers, the nombre of names from .xx. yeares & aboue,

⁴ For the children of Ioseph were two tribes, Manasses & Ephraim. And therfore they gaue no parte vnto the Leuites in the land, saue cyties to dwell in with the suburbes of the same, for their beastes and cattell.

¹ And the lotte of the children of Ioseph felle from Iordan by Iericho, vnto the water of Iericho Estward, and to the wildernesse that goeth vp from Iericho thorow out mount Bethel: ² & goeth out from Bethel to Lus, & runneth alonge vnto the borders of Arcimataroth: ³ & goeth downe agayne westard euen to the coaste of Iaphlethi, and vnto the coaste of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gasor, and the endes of their coostes leaue at the west see. ⁴ And so the children of Ioseph Manasses & Ephraim toke their enheritaunce.

¹⁹ And the lorde was wyth Iuda, and he conquered the mountaynes, but coulde not dryue out that enhabiters of the valeyes because they had charettes of yron.

²⁹ and a longe by the borders of the children of Manasse, Bethsean and her townes, Thaanach and her townes, Magiddo & her townes, and Dor and her townes. In those dwelt the chyldren of Ioseph the sonne of Israel.

⁸ Of the trybe of Zabulon were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Ioseph were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Beniamin were sealed .xii.M.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethell, but the name of the cytie was called Lus before tyme.

⁶ So came Iacob to Lus which is in the lande of Canaan. The same is Bethell, he & all the people that was with him.

³ & Iacob sayde vnto Ioseph: God allmyghtie apeared vnto me at Lus in the lande of Canaan, & blessed me,

¹ And Iosua the sonne of Nun sent out of Settim two men to spye secretlye, sayinge: go & vewe the lande and also Iericho. And they went, and came into a harlotes house, named Rahab, & lodged there.

² And Iosua sent men from Iericho to Hai, which is besyde Bethauen, on the east syde of Bethel, & spake vnto them, sayinge: gett you vp, & vewe the countrey. And the men went vp, & spyed out Hai.

² And the children of Dan sent of their kinred fyue actyue men in feates of warre oute of theyr coastes, euen out of Zaraah and Estahol, to vewe the lande and searche it out, and sayde vnto them: go, and searche out the lande. Which whan they came to mount Ephraim, euen to the house of Micah, they lodged ther

¹² Now therfore (I pray you) sweare vnto me by the Lorde, that as I haue shewed you mercie, ye shall also shewe mercie vnto my fathers house, & geue me a true token. ¹³ And that ye shall saue alyue, bothe my father, & my mother, my brethren, & my systers, and all that they haue. And that ye shall delyuer oure soules from death. ¹⁴ And the men answered her: oure liues for you to dye, yf ye vtter not this oure busines. And when the Lord hathe geuen vs the land, we will deale mercifully & truly with the.

¹⁵ And Dauid sayde to hym: canst thou brynge me to this company? And he sayde: swere vnto me by God, that thou wylt nether kyll me, nor delyuer me into the handes of my master, and I will brynge the to the companye.

²² Then Iosua sayde vnto the two men that had spyed out the contreye: goo into the harlottes house, and bringe out thense the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her, ²³ And the younge men that were spyes, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and her brethren, and all that she had. And they brought out all her kinred, & put them without the hoste of Israel ²⁴ And they burnt the cytie with fier, and all that was therin. Only the siluer and the golde, the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord ²⁵ And Iosua saued Rahab the harlott, & her fathers housholde, and all that she had, & she dwelt in Israel, euen vnto this daye because she hidd the messengers, which Iosua sent to spye out Iericho.

⁶ For the Lorde had made the hoste of the Sirians to heare a noyse of charettes and a noyse of horsses, & the noyse of a great hoste. In so moch that they sayde one to another, lo, the kynge of Israel hath hyred agaynst vs the kynges of the Hethites, and the kynges of the Egypcyans, to come vpon vs.

¹⁷ They came also and brought out of Egypte a charet for fyxe hundred peces of syluer: euen an horse for an hundred & fyftie. And so brought they horses for all the kynges of the Hethites, & for the kynges of Siria by their awne hande.

³² Thou shalt make none appoyntement with them, nor with theyr goddes.

¹¹ And Manasses had in Isacar & in Aser, Bethsean, & her townes: Iiblean, and hir townes: & the enhabitoures of Dor, wyth the townes: pertaynyng to the same: & the enhabitoures of Endor with the townes of the same: and the enhabitoures of Thaanath with her townes: and the enhabitoures of Magedo with the townes of the same, euen thre contreys. ¹² Yet the children of Manasses coulde not ouercome those cyties. But the Cananites presumed to dwell in the same land, ¹³ Neuerthelesse, assone as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites vnder tribute, but expelled them not.

²⁵ And out of the halfe trybe of Manasses, Thanach with her suburbes: and Gathremon with her Suburbes: two cyties.

¹ After the death of Iosua it came to passe, that the children of Israel asked the Lorde saying: who shall go vp for vs against the Cananites, and who shall first fight agaynst them.

¹⁹ The kynges came & fought, then fought the kynges of Canaan in Thamnah, by the waters of Negiddo, and wanne no money.

⁹ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better shepe, & the fatter oxen, & the lambes, and all that was good, & wolde not destroye them. But all that was foule & naught worth, that they destroyed vtterlye.

³⁴ Nether destroyed they the Heathen, as the Lorde commaunded them. ³⁵ But were myngled among the Heathen, and lerned their worckes.

¹⁰ Cursed be he that doth the worcke of the Lorde negligently, and cursed be he that kepeth backe his swearde from sheddynge of bloude.

¹⁰ And they draue not out the Cananites y dwelte in Gasor: but the Cananites dwell amonge the Ephraites vnto this daye, and serue vnder tribute.

¹⁶ For Pharao kynge of Egypte went vp, & toke Gazer, and burnt it with fyre, and slue the Cananites that dwelt in the cytie, and gaue it for a present vnto hys daughter, Salomons wyfe.

¹⁵ And Iatath, Nahalol, Semron, Iedalah, and Bethlehem: twelue cyties wyth their villages.

²⁴ And the fifte lotte cam out for the trybe of the children of Aser by their kynredes. ²⁵ And their coaste was: Helkath, Hali, Beten & Achsap: ²⁶ Alamelech, Amaad and Miseal: & came to Carmel westwarde, & to Sihor Labanath, ²⁷ and turneth towarde the sonne rysyng to Bethdagon, and commeth to Zabulon & to the valeye of Iephthahell, towarde the northsyde of Bethemek & Negel, & goeth out on the lifte syde of Cabul: ²⁸ & to Hebron, Rohob, Ramon, & kanah, euen vnto great Sidon. ²⁹ And then the coast turneth to Ramah and to the strong cytie of Zor, and turneth to Hozah, & endeth at the see, by the possession of Achzibah: ³⁰ Amah also & Aphek and Rohob: Twentye and two cities with their villages.

³² And the Sixte lotte cam out for the children of Nephthali by their kynredes. ³³ And their coaste was from Heleph & from Elom to Zaananim, Adami, Nekeb and Iabneel euen to Lakum, and doth go out at Iordan. ³⁴ And then the coast turneth westwarde to Asanoth Thabor, and then goeth out from thence to Hukokah, and reacheth to Zabulon on the southe syde, & goeth to Aser on the west syde, and to Iuda vpon Iordan towarde the sonne rysynge. ³⁵ And their stronge cyties are Zidin, Zer, Hamah, Racath and Cenereth, ³⁶ Adainah, Hermah & Hazor: ³⁷ kedes, Edrai, and Enhazor: ³⁸ Ieron, Magdelel: Horen, Bethanah & Bethsames: nynetene cyties wt their villages.
