Wail, inhabitants of the coast! ⁷ _⌊Is this your exultant one_⌋,* her origin from the days of long ago? Her feet brought her to dwell afar as an alien. ⁸ Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,* whose merchants were princes, her traders the honored ones of the earth? ⁹ Yahweh of hosts has planned it: to defile the pride of all glory, to humble all the honored ones of the earth. ¹⁰ Cross over your own land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.* ¹¹ He has stretched his hand out over the sea; he has made kingdoms shake. Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy her fortresses. ¹² And he said,
"You will not _⌊continue_⌋* to exult, crushed one, _⌊virgin_⌋* daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus!

They erected its siege towers; they demolished its citadel fortresses. It made her like a ruin. ¹⁴ Wail, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is destroyed. ¹⁵ And this will happen on that day: And Tyre will be forgotten seventy years,*
like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years,* it will be for Tyre like the song of the prostitute: ¹⁶ "Take a harp, go around the city, forgotten prostitute! Do it well, playing a stringed instrument! Make numerous songs,* that you may be remembered." ¹⁷ And this shall happen:
at the end of seventy years,* Yahweh will visit Tyre,
and she will return to her harlot's wages, and she will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. ¹⁸ And this shall happen:
her merchandise and her harlot's wages will be set apart for Yahweh;
it will not be stored up, and it will not be hoarded, but her merchandise will be for those who live before the _⌊presence_⌋* of Yahweh, for eating to satiation and for fine clothing.

¹ And it was in the _⌊eleventh_⌋* year, on the first day of the month, the word of Yahweh _⌊came_⌋* to me, _⌊saying_⌋,* ² "Son of man,* because* Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, 'Ah! The gates of the peoples are broken; it has swung open to me; I shall be filled, for it lies in ruins!' ³ Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: 'Look! I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations like the stirring up of the sea _⌊stirring up its waves_⌋.* ⁴ And I will destroy the walls of Tyre, and they will demolish its towers, and I will scrape away its earthen dirt from it, and I will make it into _⌊a bare rock_⌋.* ⁵ It will become a place for spreading out dragnets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken,' _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh. 'And it will become as plunder for the nations, ⁶ and its daughters who are in the field with the sword, they will be killed; and they will know that I am Yahweh.'" ⁷ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "Look! I am bringing to Tyre Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horse and with chariot and with horsemen and his assembly and many people. ⁸ Your daughters he will kill in the field with the sword, and he will place* against you siege works, and he will build against you a siege ramp, and he will raise against you a shield, ⁹ and the thrust of his battering ram he will direct against your walls, and your towers he will break down with his weapons. ¹⁰ From the abundance of his horses he will cover you with their fine dust; at the sound of horseman and wheel and chariot your walls will shake, at his coming into your gates like the entrance of a city that is being broken through. ¹¹ With the hooves of his horses he will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and _⌊your strong stone pillars_⌋* will tumble down to the earth. ¹² And they will plunder your wealth, and they will loot your merchandise, and they will break down your walls, and the houses of your delight they will break down, and your stones and your timbers and your earthen dirt they will cast into the midst of the water. ¹³ And, I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your lyres will not be heard any longer. ¹⁴ And I will make you into _⌊a bare rock_⌋,* a place for the spreading out of dragnets. You will not be built again, for I, Yahweh, I have spoken," _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh. ¹⁵ Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, "Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, _⌊at people being killed_⌋* in the midst of you? ¹⁶ And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their _⌊beautiful garments_⌋* of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble _⌊continually_⌋,* and they will be appalled over you. ¹⁷ And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you,
'How you have been lost who was inhabited from* the seas; the city that was praised, that was strong. It is located on the sea, and its inhabitants imposed their terror _⌊on all of its inhabitants_⌋.* ¹⁸ Now the coastlands will tremble at the day of your downfall, and the islands that are in the sea will be horrified because of your departure.'" ¹⁹ For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when bringing up over you the deep, the _⌊great surging waters_⌋* will cover you. ²⁰ And I will bring you down with those who are going down to the grave,* _⌊an ancient people_⌋,* and I will cause you to dwell in the world* of the depths, in the ruins from of old with those who are going down to the grave,* so that you will not be inhabited and _⌊have a place_⌋* in the land of the living. ²¹ Sudden terrors I will bring on you, and you shall no longer exist; and you will be sought, and you will not be found again _⌊forever_⌋,"* _⌊declares_⌋* the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴ Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth-Gath; the houses of Achzib will be a deception to the kings of Israel.

²⁴ And of Asher he said, "Blessed _⌊more than sons_⌋* is Asher; _⌊may he be the favorite_⌋* of his brothers, _⌊dipping his feet in the oil_⌋.* ²⁵ Your bars are* iron and bronze, and as your days, so is* your strength."

¹¹ And Heber the Kenite was separated from the other Kenites,* that is, from the descendants* of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses. And _⌊he was encamped_⌋* at Elon-bezaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

²³ And of Naphtali, he said, "Oh, Naphtali, sated of favor, and full of the blessing of Yahweh; take possession of the lake, and the land to the south."

¹⁸ the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

²¹ So they went up and explored the land from the desert of Zin until Rehob, at Lebo Hamath.*

⁸ From Mount Hor you will make a boundary to reach Hamath; the limits of the territory will be at Zedad.

² and to the kings who were in the north in the hill country, in the Arabah* south of Kinnereth,* in the Shephelah,* and in Naphoth Dor* in the west,

²⁷ in the valley of Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, Zaphon, and the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and its banks,* up to the lower end of the Kinnereth Sea* beyond the Jordan to the east.

⁶⁵ Solomon held the festival at that time and all of Israel with him, a great assembly from Lebo Hamath up to the wadi* of Egypt before Yahweh our God, for seven days and seven days, a total of fourteen days.

⁵³ And after they* had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there.

²⁰ For it was Yahweh that _⌊hardened their hearts_⌋,* to meet Israel in war in order to utterly destroy them without mercy, that they would destroy them just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

¹⁹ the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

⁷ So _⌊they set apart_⌋* Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba* (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

³³ In the Shephelah:* Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah,

² There was a certain man from Zorah, from the tribe of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; his wife was infertile and did not bear children.

²⁵ And the Spirit of Yahweh began to stir him in the camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

³¹ His brothers and _⌊his whole family_⌋* came down and picked him up; and they brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father; he judged Israel twenty years.

² The descendants* of Dan sent from the whole number of their clan five _⌊capable men_⌋* from Zorah and Eshtaol to spy out the land and to explore it. And they said to them, "Go, explore the land." And they went to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they spent the night there.*

⁵³ And the families of Kiriath-Jearim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites. From these descended the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites.

¹⁰ Zorah, Aijalon, and Hebron, fortified cities that are in Judah and in Benjamin.

¹² Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh, on the day Yahweh gave the Amorites* over to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and he said in the sight of Israel,
"Sun in Gibeon, stand still, and moon, in the valley of Aijalon."

²⁴ Aijalon and its pasturelands, and Gath Rimmon and its pasturelands; four cities.

³⁵ the Amorites were determined to live in Har-heres,* in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy on them, and they became subjected to forced labor.

³¹ They defeated the Philistines that day from Micmash to Aijalon, and the troops were very weary.

¹² _⌊And in the course of time_⌋* the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. When Judah was consoled he went up to his sheepshearers, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite, to Timnah.

⁴⁵ Ekron, its towns and villages;

¹ And Samson went down to Timnah, and he saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines. ² He went up and told his father and mother, and he said, "I saw a woman in Timnah from the daughters of the Philistines; so then, take her for me as a wife."

¹⁰ So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to kill us and our* people!"

⁸ And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod and the one who takes hold of the scepter of Ashkelon. I will also turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish," says the Lord Yahweh.

²³ From the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh and its pasturelands, Gibbethon and its pasturelands,

¹⁸ as well as Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land;

²⁷ Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. Now Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon,

¹⁵ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was encamping against Gibbethon which belonged to the Philistines.

¹⁶ And we ourselves will cut trees from Lebanon according to all your need, and we will bring them to you on rafts over the sea to Joppa, so that you may bring them up to Jerusalem."

³ But Jonah set out to flee toward Tarshish from _⌊the presence of_⌋* Yahweh. And he went down to Joppa and found a merchant ship going to Tarshish, and paid her fare, and went on board her to go with them toward Tarshish from _⌊the presence of_⌋* Yahweh.

³⁶ Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple _⌊named_⌋* Tabitha (which translated means "Dorcas").* She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.*

⁴³ And it happened that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.*

⁸ and after he* had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

³⁴ The Amorites pressed* the descendants* of Dan to the hill country, and they did not allow them to come down to the plain; ³⁵ the Amorites were determined to live in Har-heres,* in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy on them, and they became subjected to forced labor.

¹ In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking territory for itself to live in, because until that day it had not been allotted territory among the tribes of Israel. ² The descendants* of Dan sent from the whole number of their clan five _⌊capable men_⌋* from Zorah and Eshtaol to spy out the land and to explore it. And they said to them, "Go, explore the land." And they went to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they spent the night there.* ³ While they were with the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite, and they turned aside there and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place, and _⌊what is your business here_⌋?"* ⁴ And he said to them, "Micah did such and such for me and hired me, and I became his priest." ⁵ And they said to him, "Please inquire of God that we may know whether our journey that we are going on will be successful." ⁶ And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. Yahweh is in front of you on the journey you want to go on." ⁷ And the five men went and came to Laish, and they observed the people who were living according to the customs of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, and lacking nothing in the land, and possessing restraint.* And they were far from the Sidonians and had no word with anyone. ⁸ They came to their relatives* at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their relatives* said to them, "What do you report?" ⁹ And they said to them, "Come, let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to possess the land. ¹⁰ When you go you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land _⌊is spread out on all sides_⌋;* God has given a place into your hands where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth." ¹¹ Six hundred men from the clan of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war, set out from there. ¹² They went up and encamped at Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they called this place Camp of Dan* to this day; it is west of Kiriath Jearim. ¹³ From there they crossed over to the hill country of Ephraim, and they came to the house of Micah. ¹⁴ And the five men that went out to spy out the land (that is, Laish) responded and said to their relatives,* "Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod, teraphim, and an idol of cast metal? So then, consider what you must do." ¹⁵ So they turned to that direction, and they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and _⌊they greeted him_⌋.* ¹⁶ And six hundred men from the descendants* of Dan, armed with their weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate. ¹⁷ And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and they entered there and took the carved divine image, ephod, teraphim, and the molten image. The priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with the weapons of war. ¹⁸ When these went to Micah's house, they took the divine carved image, ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, and the priest asked them, "What are you doing?" ¹⁹ And they said to him, "Keep quiet! Put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be for us a father and a priest. Is it better being a priest for a house of one man or being a priest for a tribe and clan in Israel?" ²⁰ _⌊The priest accepted the offer_⌋,* and he took the ephod, teraphim, and molten image and went along with the people. ²¹ And they turned* and went and put the little children, the livestock, and the valuable property in front of them. ²² When they were at a distance from the house, Micah and the men who were in the houses that were near the house of Micah cried out, and they overtook the descendants* of Dan. ²³ And they called to the descendants* of Dan, who turned around to face them, and they said to Micah, "What is the matter with you that you assembled together?" ²⁴ He said, "You took away my gods that I had made, and the priest, and then you go away. What is now left for me? How can you say to me, 'What is the matter?'" ²⁵ And the descendants* of Dan said to him, "You should not let your voice be heard among us, so that _⌊ill-tempered men_⌋* _⌊will not attack you_⌋,* _⌊and take your life_⌋* and the lives of your household." ²⁶ And the descendants* of Dan went their way. When Micah saw that they were stronger than him, he turned to return to his house. ²⁷ And they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and they came to Laish, to a quiet and unsuspecting people, and _⌊they put them to the sword_⌋* and burned the city with fire. ²⁸ There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and _⌊they had had no dealings with anyone_⌋.* It was in the valley that belonged to Beth-rehob, and they rebuilt* the city and lived in it. ²⁹ And they called the name of the city Dan, after Dan their ancestor,* who was born to Israel; but the former name of the city was Laish.

⁷ And a portion will be for* the prince _⌊on both sides_⌋* of _⌊the holy district_⌋,* and both sides of the property of the city, and _⌊alongside_⌋* the property of the city _⌊on the west_⌋,* and alongside the property _⌊on the east_⌋.* And also its length* _⌊corresponds to one of the tribal portions to the west_⌋* running _⌊to the eastern border_⌋.* ⁸ This shall be to him _⌊with respect to the land_⌋* as property in Israel; and so my princes shall not again oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes."

³⁰ They buried him in the territory of his inheritance, at Timnath-Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

⁹ They buried him within the border of his inheritance in Timnah-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.

²⁴ And his daughter was Sheerah, and she built Lower and Upper Beth-Horon and Uzzen-Sheerah.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff between his feet, until Shiloh comes. And to him shall be the obedience of nations.

¹⁷ "These are the names of the men who divide up the land for your inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun. ¹⁸ You will take one leader from every tribe to divide up the land for inheritance. ¹⁹ These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; ²⁰ of the tribe of the descendants of Simeon, Samuel son of Ammihud; ²¹ of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon; ²² of the tribe of the descendants* of Dan, the leader Bukki son of Jogli; ²³ of the descendants* of Joseph, the tribe of the descendants* of Manasseh, the leader Hanniel son of Ephod. ²⁴ Of the tribe of the descendants* of Ephraim, the leader Kemuel son of Shiphtan; ²⁵ of the tribe of the descendants* of Zebulum, the leader Elizaphan son of Parnach; ²⁶ of the tribe of the descendants* of Issachar, the leader Paltiel son of Azzan; ²⁷ of the tribe of the descendants* of Asher, the leader Ahihud son of Shelomi; ²⁸ of the tribe of the descendants* of Naphtali, the leader Pedahel son of Ammihud." ²⁹ These are those whom Yahweh commanded to allot to the _⌊Israelites_⌋* the land of Canaan.

¹ These are the territories that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the families of the tribes of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* gave as an inheritance to them.

¹ The entire congregation of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* assembled at Shiloh, and they set up there the tent of meeting, and the land was subdued before them.*

¹⁰ and Joshua cast a lot for them at Shiloh before* Yahweh, and there he divided the land for the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* _⌊to each a portion_⌋.*

¹⁹ And they said, "Look, the annual feast of Yahweh is in Shiloh, which is to the north of Bethel, _⌊east_⌋* of the main road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.

²¹ and watch and look; when the daughters of Shiloh dance in the dances, come out from the vineyards and seize for yourselves a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

³ Now this man used to go up from his town _⌊year by year_⌋* to worship and to sacrifice to Yahweh of hosts in Shiloh, _⌊where_⌋* the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to Yahweh.

³ He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet. ⁴ He chooses for us our inheritance, the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

⁶⁰ So he abandoned the dwelling place at Shiloh, the tent he had placed among humankind.

¹² "For go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell in the beginning, and see what I did to it _⌊because of_⌋* the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, because of your doing all these things," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh, "and _⌊I have spoken to you over and over again_⌋,* and you have not listened, and I called you, and you have not answered, ¹⁴ therefore I will do to the house that is called _⌊by my name_⌋,* in which you are trusting, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors* _⌊what_⌋* I did to Shiloh.

²³ He said to them, "You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine* to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."

³⁴ Then the king will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!

² In my Father's house there are many dwelling places; but if not, I would have told you, because* I am going away to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, you may be also.

² just as you have given him authority over all flesh, in order that he would give eternal life to them—everyone whom you have given him.

⁸ For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things. ⁹ Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God.
