²¹ At that time Joshua came and exterminated the Anakites from the hill country, from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

¹³ _⌊According to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua_⌋,* he gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a plot of ground among the descendants* of Judah, Kiriath Arba,* which is Hebron (Arba was Anak's father). ¹⁴ Caleb drove out from there three of Anak's sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants* of Anak. ¹⁵ And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir (the former name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher). ¹⁶ And Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, I will give to him my daughter Acsah as a wife." ¹⁷ Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it, and he gave to him Acsah his daughter as a wife. ¹⁸ When she came to him she urged him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "_⌊What do you want_⌋?"* ¹⁹ And she said to him, "Give to me a gift;* you have given me the land of the Negev,* and you must give to me a spring of water." And he gave to her the upper and lower spring.* ²⁰ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants* of Judah according to their families:

²² They went up through the Negev* and came to Hebron, where* Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai the descendants of the Anakites were. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

³³ There we saw the Nephilim (the descendants* of Anak came from the Nephilim), and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their eyes."

¹⁵ And the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath Arba;* Arba was the greatest person among the Anakites. And the land rested from war.

¹³ _⌊According to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua_⌋,* he gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a plot of ground among the descendants* of Judah, Kiriath Arba,* which is Hebron (Arba was Anak's father). ¹⁴ Caleb drove out from there three of Anak's sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants* of Anak. ¹⁵ And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir (the former name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher). ¹⁶ And Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, I will give to him my daughter Acsah as a wife." ¹⁷ Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it, and he gave to him Acsah his daughter as a wife. ¹⁸ When she came to him she urged him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "_⌊What do you want_⌋?"* ¹⁹ And she said to him, "Give to me a gift;* you have given me the land of the Negev,* and you must give to me a spring of water." And he gave to her the upper and lower spring.*

²⁰ They gave Hebron to Caleb just as Moses said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak from there.

¹⁶ The king is not saved by the greatness of an army. The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength. ¹⁷ The horse is a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

¹¹ I looked again and saw under the sun that the race does not belong to the swift, the battle does not belong to the mighty, food does not belong to the wise, wealth does not belong to the intelligent, and success* does not belong to the skillful, for time and chance befalls all of them.

²³ Thus says Yahweh,
"The wise man must not boast in his wisdom, and the warrior must not boast in his might, the wealthy man must not boast in his wealth.

³⁸ Then Joshua returned to Debir, and all of Israel with him, and they fought against it, ³⁹ and he captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with _⌊the the edge of the sword_⌋,* and they utterly destroyed all the people that were in it; he left behind no survivor, just as he had done to Hebron. Thus he did to Debir and its king what he had done to Libnah and its king.

¹⁵ And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir (the former name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher). ¹⁶ And Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, I will give to him my daughter Acsah as a wife." ¹⁷ Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it, and he gave to him Acsah his daughter as a wife.

²⁵ And the men of Israel said, "Did you see this man who has come up? For he is going up to defy Israel! It will be that the man who defeats him, the king will make him* very rich with great wealth and will give him his daughter in marriage and will make his father's house free in Israel."*

²³ And Saul's servants spoke these words _⌊to David privately_⌋.* But David said, "Is it insignificant _⌊in your sight_⌋* to become the son-in-law of the king, as I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?"

⁹ The _⌊Israelites_⌋* cried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh raised up a deliverer for the _⌊Israelites_⌋* who delivered them, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

¹¹ Please take my gift which has been brought to you, for God has dealt graciously with me, and because _⌊I have enough_⌋."* And he urged him, so he took it.

¹⁸ Then Abigail _⌊quickly took_⌋* two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five prepared sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and she put them on the donkeys.

²⁷ So then, this gift which your female servant has brought to my lord, may it be given to the young men _⌊who follow my lord_⌋.*

⁵ Therefore I considered it necessary to urge the brothers that they should go on ahead to you and make arrangements in advance for your generous gift that was promised previously, so this would be prepared as a generous gift and not as grudgingly granted.

⁷ For ground that drinks the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth vegetation usable to those people _⌊for whose sake_⌋* it is also cultivated, shares a blessing from God.

⁹ not repaying evil for evil or insult for insult, but on the other hand blessing others, because for this reason you were called, so that you could inherit a blessing.

¹ And Moses was a shepherd with the flock* of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the west of the desert, and he came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.

¹⁸ And Moses went, and he returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and he said to him, "Please let me go, and let me return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and let me see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

¹ And Jethro, the priest of Midian, the father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel, his people, that Yahweh had brought Israel out from Egypt.

⁷ And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed, and he kissed him, and _⌊they each asked about the other's welfare_⌋,* and they came into the tent.

¹² And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before God.

¹⁴ And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he was doing for the people, and he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why are you sitting alone and all the people are standing by you from morning until evening?" ¹⁵ And Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to seek God. ¹⁶ When _⌊they have an issue_⌋,* it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make known God's rule and his instructions." ¹⁷ And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, "The thing that you are doing is not good.

²⁷ And Moses let his father-in-law go, and he went to his land.

²⁹ Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, "We are setting out to the place that Yahweh said, 'I will give it to you'; go with us, and we will _⌊treat you well_⌋* because _⌊Yahweh promised_⌋* good concerning Israel." ³⁰ But he said to him, "I will not go. I will only go to my land and to my family." ³¹ He* said, "Please, do not abandon us because you know our encampment in the desert, and _⌊you should be our guide_⌋.* ³² Moreover, if you go with us, the good that Yahweh will do to us we will do to you."

¹ The Canaanite king of Arad, who was dwelling in the Negev,* heard that Israel came along the way of Atharim; he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

²¹ And he looked at the Kenites,* _⌊uttered_⌋* his oracle, and said,
"Steady is your dwelling place; in the rock is your nest. ²² Nevertheless, the Kenite will be burned; how long will Asshur keep* you captive?"

³ and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar.

¹⁴ the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

¹³ He gathered to himself the _⌊Ammonites and Amalekites_⌋,* and he went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms.

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.

¹⁷ Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

⁶ Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, leave! Withdraw from among the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you with them. You have shown loyal love to all the _⌊Israelites_⌋* when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites left from among the Amalekites.

¹⁵ Ozem the sixth, David the seventh.

¹⁶ At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him,

² "Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them to the house of Yahweh into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink."

⁴⁵ So the Amalekites* and the Canaanites* who were living on the mountain descended, and they beat them down, up to Hormah.

³ Yahweh heard the voice of Israel; he gave to them the Canaanites, and _⌊they destroyed them_⌋* and their cities. They called the name of the place Hormah.

⁴ Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,

³ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Go up with me into my allotment, and let us fight against the Canaanites; then I too will go with you into your allotment." And Simeon went with him.

¹⁰ And Asa went out before him, and a battle was put in order in the valley of Zepah at Mareshah.

³¹ " 'And I will set your boundary from the _⌊Red Sea_⌋* and up to the sea of the Philistines and from the desert up to the river,* because I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out from before you.

²² None of the Anakites were left in the land of the _⌊Israelites_⌋;* some remained only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.

³ from the Shihor, which is _⌊east of Egypt_⌋,* up to the border of Ekron to the north, which is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five Philistine rulers: the Gazites,* Ashdodites,* Ashkelonites,* Gittites,* Ekronites,* and the Avvim.

⁴⁵ Ekron, its towns and villages; ⁴⁶ from Ekron to the sea, and all that _⌊were near_⌋* Ashdod and their villages. ⁴⁷ Ashdod, its towns and villages; Gaza, its towns and villages, up to the wadi* of Egypt and the Great Sea* and its coast.*

³ the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites,* the Sidonians,* and the Hivites* living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon up to Lebo-Hamath.

¹ Samson went down to Gaza; there he saw a prostitute and _⌊had sex with her_⌋.* ² The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," so they surrounded the place and lay in ambush for him all night at the city gate. They kept silent all night, saying, "We will wait until the morning light, and then we will kill him."

²¹ And the Philistines seized him, gouged his eyes, and brought him to Gaza. They tied him up with bronze shackles, and he became a grinder _⌊in the prison_⌋.*

¹⁷ Now these are the gold tumors which the Philistines returned as a guilt offering to Yahweh: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron.

² And Yahweh was with Joseph, and he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

²¹ And Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed loyal love to him, and gave him favor in the eyes of the chief of the prison.

⁷ And he took six hundred select chariots and all the chariots of Egypt and officers over all of them. ⁸ And Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and he chased after the _⌊Israelites_⌋.* (Now the _⌊Israelites_⌋* were going out _⌊boldly_⌋.*) ⁹ And the Egyptians chased after them, and they overtook them encamped at the sea—all the horses of the chariots of Pharaoh and his charioteers and his army—at Pi-hahiroth before Baal Zephon. ¹⁰ And Pharaoh approached, and the _⌊Israelites_⌋* lifted their eyes, and there were the Egyptians traveling after them! And they were very afraid, and the _⌊Israelites_⌋* cried out to Yahweh. ¹¹ And they said to Moses, "Because there are no graves in Egypt? Is that why you have taken us to die in the desert? What is this you have done to us by bringing us out from Egypt! ¹² Isn't this the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we can serve Egypt!' because serving Egypt is better for us than our dying in the desert." ¹³ And Moses said to the people, "You must not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will accomplish for you today, because the Egyptians whom you see today you will see never again. ¹⁴ Yahweh will fight for you, and you must be quiet." ¹⁵ And Yahweh said to Moses, "Why do you cry out to me? Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋* so that they set out.* ¹⁶ And you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it so that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* can go in the middle of the sea on the dry land. ¹⁷ And as for me, look, I am about to harden the heart of the Egyptians so that they come after them, and I will display my glory through Pharaoh and through all of his army, through his chariots and through his charioteers. ¹⁸ And the Egyptians will know that I am Yahweh when I display my glory through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his charioteers." ¹⁹ And the angel of God who was going before the camp of Israel set out and went behind them. And the column of cloud set out ahead of them, and it stood still behind them, ²⁰ so that it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. And _⌊it was a dark cloud_⌋,* but it gave light to the night,* so that _⌊neither approached the other_⌋* all night. ²¹ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh moved the sea* with a strong east wind all night, and he made the sea become dry ground, and the waters were divided. ²² And the _⌊Israelites_⌋* entered the middle of the sea on the dry land. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left. ²³ And the Egyptians gave chase* and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his charioteers—into the middle of the sea. ²⁴ And during the morning watch, Yahweh looked down to the Egyptian camp from in the column of fire and cloud, and he threw the Egyptian camp into a panic. ²⁵ And he removed* the wheels of their chariots so that they drove them with difficulty, and the Egyptians said, "We must flee away* from Israel because Yahweh is fighting for them against Egypt." ²⁶ And Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, and let the waters return over the Egyptians, over their chariots, and over their charioteers." ²⁷ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned _⌊at daybreak_⌋* to its normal level, and the Egyptians were fleeing _⌊because of it_⌋,* and Yahweh swept the Egyptians into the middle of the sea. ²⁸ And the waters returned and covered the chariots and the charioteers—all the army of Pharaoh coming after them into the sea. Not _⌊even_⌋* one survived among them. ²⁹ But the _⌊Israelites_⌋* walked on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The waters were a wall for them on their right and on their left. ³⁰ And Yahweh saved Israel on that day from the hand* of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea. ³¹ And Israel saw the great hand* that Yahweh displayed against Egypt, and the people feared Yahweh, and they believed in Yahweh and in Moses his servant.

⁵ No one will stand before you* all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.

⁹ Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you _⌊wherever you go_⌋."*

¹² The _⌊Israelites_⌋* were unable to stand before their enemies; _⌊they fled from their enemies_⌋* because they have become a thing devoted* for destruction. _⌊I will be with you no more_⌋* unless you destroy the devoted things* from among you.

¹ And it happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Acshaph, 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, ³ to the Canaanites* in the east and west, the Amorites,* the Hittites,* the Perizzites,* and the Jebusites* in the hill country, and the Hivites* _⌊at the foot of_⌋* Hermon in the land of Mizpah. ⁴ They came out, they and all their armies with them, as a great army like the sand on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. ⁵ And all these kings joined forces, and they came and camped together by the waters of Merom to fight with Israel. ⁶ And Yahweh said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of their presence, for tomorrow at this time I will hand them over slain to Israel; you will hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire." ⁷ So Joshua, and _⌊all the fighting men_⌋* with him, came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and _⌊they attacked them_⌋.* ⁸ And Yahweh gave them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them up to Great Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and eastward up to the valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until they left behind no survivor. ⁹ And Joshua did to them as Yahweh commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

¹² So now give me this hill country that Yahweh spoke of on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakites were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps Yahweh is with me, and I will drive them out just as Yahweh promised."*

¹⁶ And the descendants* of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all of the Canaanites* living in the land of the valley have chariots* of iron, those in Beth-shean and its villages, and those in the Jezreel Valley." ¹⁷ And Joshua said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, "You are many people and have great power; you will not have one allotment only; ¹⁸ the hill country will be yours. Even though it is a forest, you will clear it, and it will be yours to its farthest borders. You will drive out the Canaanites,* even though they have iron chariots and are strong."

² And Yahweh said, "Judah will go up. I hereby give the land into his hand."

²⁷ Manasseh did not drive out Beth-Sean and its towns, or Taanach and its towns, or the inhabitants* of Dor and its towns, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; the Canaanites* were determined to live in this land. ²⁸ And it happened, when Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites* to forced labor, but they never totally drove them out. ²⁹ Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites* living in Gezer, so the Canaanites* lived in their midst in Gezer. ³⁰ Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites* lived in their midst and became subjected to forced labor. ³¹ Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob, ³² so the Asherites* lived in the midst of the Canaanites,* the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.

¹² The angel of Yahweh appeared to him and said to him, "Yahweh is with you, _⌊you mighty warrior_⌋."* ¹³ Gideon said to him, "Excuse me, my lord. If Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonderful deeds that our ancestors* recounted to us, saying, 'Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?' But now Yahweh has forsaken us; he has given us into the palm of Midian."

¹⁰ David _⌊continued growing stronger and stronger_⌋,* and Yahweh the God of hosts was with him.

⁷ Yahweh was with him; everywhere he went, he succeeded. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

⁷ Yahweh of hosts is with us; our high stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah

⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts off the spear. The wagons of war he burns with fire.

¹¹ Yahweh of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high stronghold.

¹² Through God we will do _⌊valiantly_⌋,* and it is he who will tread down our enemies.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you* a sign. Look! the virgin* is with child and she is about to give birth to a son, and she shall call his name 'God with us.'

¹⁰ _⌊Make a plan_⌋,* but it will be frustrated! Speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us!

¹⁰ You must not fear, for I am with you; you must not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, indeed I will help you, indeed I will take hold of you with the right hand of my salvation.

¹⁴ You must not fear, O worm of Jacob; people of Israel, I myself, I will help you," _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh, "and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel. ¹⁵ Look! I will make you into a new sharp threshing sledge, _⌊with_⌋* sharp edges. You shall thresh and crush the mountains, and you shall make the hills like chaff.

²³ "Behold, the virgin _⌊will become pregnant_⌋* and will give birth to a son, and they will call his name Emmanuel,"*
which is translated, "God with us."*

³⁰ But when he* saw the strong wind, he was afraid. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" ³¹ And immediately Jesus extended his* hand and* caught him and said to him, "You of little faith! Why did you doubt?"

¹⁹ Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and* said, _⌊Why_⌋* were we not able to expel it?" ²⁰ And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."*

³¹ What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

¹³ I am able to do all things by the one who strengthens me.

²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because another spirit was with him, he remained true after me, and I will bring him into the land that _⌊he entered_⌋,* and his offspring will take possession of it.

³⁶ except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh; he himself* shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has trodden and to his sons* because _⌊he followed Yahweh unreservedly_⌋.'*

⁹ And Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land that your foot has trodden on will be an inheritance to you and your sons forever, because you remained true to Yahweh my God.' ¹⁰ So then, look, Yahweh has kept me alive just as he promised these forty-five years,* from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses while Israel _⌊wandered_⌋* in the wilderness. Now look, today _⌊I am eighty-five years old_⌋.* ¹¹ Today I am still strong, just as on the day that Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so now also is my strength for war _⌊and for daily activities_⌋.* ¹² So now give me this hill country that Yahweh spoke of on that day, for you heard on that day that the Anakites were there, with great and fortified cities. Perhaps Yahweh is with me, and I will drive them out just as Yahweh promised."* ¹³ And Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance. ¹⁴ Thus Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he remained true to Yahweh the God of Israel.

¹³ _⌊According to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua_⌋,* he gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a plot of ground among the descendants* of Judah, Kiriath Arba,* which is Hebron (Arba was Anak's father). ¹⁴ Caleb drove out from there three of Anak's sons, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants* of Anak.

¹¹ And they gave to them Kiriath Arba,* Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron), in the hill country of Judah and the pasturelands surrounding it. ¹² But the field of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his property.

¹⁰ And Judah went against the Canaanites* living in Hebron (the former name of Hebron was Kiriath Arba). And they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹¹ And the allotment of the tribe of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their allotment fell* between the descendants* of Judah and the descendants* of Joseph. ¹² Their northern border began at the Jordan and went up to the slope of Jericho on the north and continued into the hill country to the west; _⌊it ends_⌋* at the wilderness of Beth Aven. ¹³ The border passes on from there to Luz, to the slope of Luz to the south (that is, Bethel); then the border goes down to Ataroth Addar to the mountain that is south of Lower Beth-Horon. ¹⁴ Then the border changes direction and turns to the western side southward, from the mountain that _⌊is opposite_⌋* Beth-Horon to the south. _⌊It ends_⌋* at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a town belonging to the descendants* of Judah. This is the western side. ¹⁵ The southern side begins on the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim, and the border continues to the west to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah; ¹⁶ the border goes down to the foot* of the mountain, which is opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom,* which is in the valley of Rephaim to the north; then it does down the valley of Hinnom to the slope of the Jebusites* to the south, and then it goes down to En Rogel. ¹⁷ It changes direction from the north, and it continues to En Shemesh; it goes out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, son of Reuben. ¹⁸ It passes on to the slope opposite the Arabah* to the north, and it goes down to the Arabah.* ¹⁹ The border passes on to the slope of Beth-hoglah to the north and _⌊ends_⌋* at the north bay of the Salt Sea* at the south end of the Jordan. This is the southern border. ²⁰ The Jordan forms its border on the eastern side. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, its borders that surrounds them, according to their families. ²¹ Now the towns of the tribes of the descendants* of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek Keziz, ²² Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, ²³ Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, ²⁴ Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities and their villages. ²⁵ Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth, ²⁶ Mizpeh, Kephirah, Mozah, ²⁷ Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, ²⁸ Zela, Haeleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath; fourteen cities and their villages. This is the inheritance of the descendants* of Benjamin according to their families.

⁸ The descendants* of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and they captured it, _⌊put it to the sword_⌋,* and _⌊set the city on fire_⌋.*

¹⁰ But the man was not willing to spend the night, and he got up and went; and he arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a pair of saddled donkeys and his concubine. ¹¹ They were near Jebus, and _⌊the day was far spent_⌋,* and the servant said to his master, "Please, come, let us turn aside to this city of the Jebusites,* and let us spend the night in it." ¹² But his master said to him, "We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners,* who are not from the _⌊Israelites_⌋;* we will cross over up to Gibeah."

⁶ The king and his men went to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, "You will not come here, for even the blind and the lame can turn you back, saying, 'David cannot come here.'" ⁷ David captured the fortress of Zion, the city of David. ⁸ David had said, "On that day _⌊when we attack the Jebusites_⌋,* one must attack the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David, by means of the water supply." For thus the blind and the lame would say, "He cannot come into the house." ⁹ David occupied the fortress and called it the city of David. And David built all around it from the Millo and _⌊inward_⌋.*

²⁴ But his bow remained in a steady position; _⌊his arms_⌋* were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From there is the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.

¹⁰ From the descendants of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.

³² From the descendants of Joseph: from the descendants of Ephraim, their genealogies according to their clans, according to _⌊their families_⌋,* according to the number of names, from _⌊those twenty years old_⌋* and above, everyone who is able to go to war:

⁴ For the descendants* of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a plot of ground to the Levites in the land, only cities to live in, with their pastureland for their flocks and for their goods.

¹ The allotment of the descendants* of Joseph went from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho to the east, into the wilderness, going up from Jericho into the hill country to Bethel; ² it continues from Bethel to Luz, and it passes along to the territory of the Arkites* at Ataroth. ³ Then it goes down, to the west, to the territory of the Japhletites,* up to the territory of Lower Beth-horon, then to Gezer, and _⌊it ends_⌋* at the sea. ⁴ And the descendants* of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

¹⁹ And Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.

²⁹ And along the borders of the sons of Manasseh: Beth-Shean and its towns, Taanach and its towns, Megiddo and its towns, and Dor and its towns. In these lived the sons of Joseph the son of Israel.

⁸ from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand,
from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethel; however, the name of the city was formerly Luz.

⁶ And Jacob came to Luz which was in the land of Canaan (that is Bethel), he and all the people that were with him.

³ Then Jacob said to Joseph, "El-Shaddai* appeared to me in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

¹ Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men from Acacia Grove* as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went, and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and _⌊spent the night_⌋* there.

² Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven, east of Bethel, and he said to them, "Go up and spy out Ai." And the men went up and spied out Ai.

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.*

¹² So then please swear to me by Yahweh, because _⌊I have shown loyalty to you_⌋,* and _⌊you will also show loyalty_⌋* _⌊to my family_⌋.* You must give me a sign of good faith,* ¹³ and you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that belongs to them; you will deliver our lives from death." ¹⁴ And the men said to her, "_⌊Our lives for yours_⌋.* If you do not report this business of ours, _⌊we will show you loyalty and faithfulness_⌋* when Yahweh gives us the land."

¹⁵ So David asked him, "Will you take me down to this band of raiders?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and that you will not deliver me into my master's hand! Then I will take you down to this band."

²² Then Joshua said to the two men who spied on the land, "Go to the prostitute's house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, just as you swore to her." ²³ So the young men who were spies went and brought Rahab and her father and mother, her brothers, and all who were with her. And they brought all her family out and set them outside the camp of Israel. ²⁴ And they burned the city and all that was in it with fire; they put only the silver and gold, and the items of copper and iron, into the treasury of the house of Yahweh. ²⁵ But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute _⌊and her family_⌋* and all who were with her, and she has lived in the midst of Israel until this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

⁶ Now the Lord had caused the camp of the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, the sound of horses, and the sound of a great army. So they said _⌊to one another_⌋,* "Look, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us!"

¹⁷ They went up and exported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels. And these were _⌊likewise exported_⌋* to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.*

³² You will not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

¹¹ In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; the third is Napheth. ¹² But the descendants* of Manasseh were not able to take possession of these towns; the Canaanites* were determined to live in this land. ¹³ And it happened, when the _⌊Israelites_⌋* grew strong, they put the Canaanites* to forced labor but never drove them out completely.

²⁵ From the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach and its pasturelands and Gath Rimmon with its pasturelands; two cities.

¹ After the death of Joshua, the _⌊Israelites_⌋* inquired of Yahweh, saying, "Who will go up first for us against the Canaanites* to fight against them?"

¹⁹ "The kings came, they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought; at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they got no plunder in silver.

⁹ However, Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and the cattle and the second best of the young fatlings and _⌊all that was valuable_⌋;* they were not willing to utterly destroy them. But all the possessions that were despised or worthless, they utterly destroyed.

³⁴ They did not exterminate the peoples, as Yahweh had commanded them, * ³⁵ but they mingled with the nations and learned their works,

¹⁰ The one who does the work of Yahweh with slackness is cursed, and the one who keeps away blood from his sword is cursed.

¹⁰ But they did not drive out the Canananites* who were dwelling in Gezer, and so the Canaanites* live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, but they became forced laborers.

¹⁶ Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer and burnt it with fire. He had also killed the Canaanites who were living in the city and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.

¹⁵ Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem; twelve cities and their villages.

²⁴ The fifth allotment _⌊fell_⌋* for the tribe of the descendants* of Asher according to their families. ²⁵ Their border was Helkath, Hali, Beten, Acshaph, ²⁶ Allamelech, Amad, and Mishal; it touches Carmel to the west, and Shihor-Libnat. ²⁷ Then it turns _⌊eastward_⌋* to Beth-dagon and touches Zebulun and the valley of Yiptah-El to the north* to Beth Emeck and Neiel; it continues to Cabul from the north, ²⁸ and Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah up to Great Sidon; ²⁹ then the border turns to Ramah, and up to the fortified city of Tyre, where the border turns to Hosah; _⌊it ends_⌋* at the sea, from Hebel to Aczib. ³⁰ Included were Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob; twenty-two cities and their villages.

³² The sixth allotment _⌊fell_⌋* for the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families. ³³ Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, Adami Nekeb, Jabneel, up to Lakkum; _⌊it ends_⌋* at the Jordan; ³⁴ then the border turns to the west, to Aznoth Tabor, and continues from there to Hukok, and it touches* Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Judah on _⌊the east_⌋* at the Jordan. ³⁵ _⌊The fortified cities_⌋* are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Kinnereth, ³⁶ Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, ³⁷ Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, ³⁸ Yiron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth-anath, Beth Shemesh; nineteen cities and their villages.

³⁰ Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or Nahalol, so the Canaanites* lived in their midst and became subjected to forced labor.

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.

²⁴ Therefore Yahweh has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

⁴⁷ The border of the descendants* of Dan continued _⌊beyond them_⌋,* because the descendants* of Dan went up and fought with Lesham, and they captured and struck it with _⌊the edge of the sword_⌋,* and they took possession of it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor.*

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.

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."

⁴² Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

¹² Then* Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

⁹ Ben-Deker was in Makaz and in Shaalbim and in Beth-Shemesh and Elon of Beth-Hanan.

⁴ your boundary will turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim* and will pass over to Zin, and its limits will be from the south of Kadesh Barnea; it will continue to Hazar Addar and pass over to Azmon.

² Their southern border was from the end of the Salt Sea,* from the bay facing southward; ³ it continues* to the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, it goes up south of Kadesh Barnea, passes along Hezron, goes up to Addar, and makes a turn to Karka;
