⁸ Also a decree has been made by me, if haply you⌃ may do somewhat in concert with the elders of the Jews for the building of that house of God: to wit, out of the king's property, [even] the tributes beyond the river, let there be money to defray the expenses carefully granted to those men, so that they be not hindered. ⁹ And whatever need [there may be], you⌃ shall give both the young of bulls and rams, and lambs for whole burnt offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, oil:—let it be given them according to the word of the priests that are in Jerusalem, day by day whatever they shall ask;

²⁰ And as to the rest of the need of the house of your God, you shall give from the king's treasure-houses, ²¹ and from me, whatever it shall seem [good] to you to give. I king Arthasastha have made a decree for all the treasuries that are in the [country] beyond the river, that whatever Esdras the priest and scribe of the God of heaven may ask you, it shall be done speedily, ²² to [the amount of] a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred measures of wheat, and a hundred baths of wine, and a hundred baths of oil, and salt without reckoning. ²³ Let whatever is in the decree of the God of heaven, be done: take heed lest any one make an attack on the house of the God of heaven, lest at any time there shall be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons. ²⁴ Also this has been declared to you, with respect to all the priests, and Levites, the singers, porters, Nathinim and ministers of the house of God, let no tribute be [paid] to you; you shall not have power to oppress them.

³ So Adoni-bezec king of Jerusalem sent to Elam king of Hebron, and to Phidon king of Jerimuth, and to Jephtha king of Lachis, and to Dabin king of Odollam, saying,

¹⁵ the king of Lebna, the king of Odollam,

⁸ And the borders go up to the valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley of Ennom toward the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain northward.

³⁴ and Ramen, and Tano, and Iluthoth, and Maeani, ³⁵ and Jermuth, and Odollam, and Membra, and Saocho, and Jazeca.

³⁹ and Basedoth, and Ideadalea;

¹⁶ And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.

¹⁰ And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.

¹³ Anun and the inhabitants of Zano repaired the gate of the valley: they built it, and set up its doors, and its bolts, and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall as far as the dung-gate.

⁸ So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis.

³¹ And they have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart. ³² Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.

² and you shall go forth to the burial-place of the sons of their children, which is at the entrance of the gate of Charsith; and do you read there all these words which I shall speak to you:

⁶ Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when this place shall no more be called, The fall and burial-place of the son of Ennom, but, The burial-place of slaughter.

³⁵ And flight shall perish from the shepherds, and safety from the rams of the flock.

¹⁵ until they bring the heirs, O inhabitant of Lachis: the inheritance shall reach to Odollam, [even] the glory of the daughter of Israel.

⁸ And he departed thence to the mountain eastward of Baethel, and there he pitched his tent in Baethel near the sea, and Aggai toward the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord, and called on the name of the Lord.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place, the House of God; and the name of the city before was Ulam-luz.

⁹ And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.

¹³ And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.

²⁴ and Carapha, and Cephira, and Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities and their villages:

¹¹ And Samuel said, What have you done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and you was not present as you purposed according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.

²³ And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.

³⁰ The men of Arama and Gabaa, six hundred and twenty. ³¹ The men of Machemas, a hundred and twenty-two. ³² The men of Baethel and Ai, a hundred and twenty-three.

²⁸ For he shall arrive at the city of Angai, and shall pass on to Maggedo, and shall lay up his stores in Machmas.

¹⁸ and Anathoth and its suburbs; and Gamala and its suburbs; four cities.

¹ And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [are] you alone, and nobody with you?

¹⁹ And he struck Nomba the city of the priest with the edge of the sword, both man, and woman, infant and suckling, and calf, and ox, and sheep.

²⁷ The children of Anathoth, a hundred and twenty-eight.

³⁰ The daughter of Gallim shall flee; Laisa shall hear; one shall hear in Anathoth.

³² Exhort you⌃ [them] today to remain in the way: exhort you⌃ [beckoning] with the hand the mountain, the daughter of Sion, even you⌃ hills that are in Jerusalem.

¹ The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

²⁵ Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha;

¹⁷ And his return was to Armathaim, because there was his house; and there he judged Israel, and built there an altar to the Lord.

³ And the Berothites ran away to Gethaim, and were sojourners there until this day.

¹⁸ and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.

¹⁴ And Manathi begot Gophera: and Saraia begot Jobab, the father of Ageaddair, for they were artificers.

¹² And the sons of Alphaal; Obed, Misaal, Semmer: he built Ona, and Lod, and its towns:

³⁷ The children of Lodadid and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one.

⁷ Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

¹ And the heads of the families of the sons of Levi drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the [son] of Naue, and to the heads of families of the tribes of Israel. ² And they spoke to them in Selo in the land of Chanaan, saying, The Lord gave commandment by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, and the country round about for our cattle. ³ So the children of Israel gave to the Levites in their inheritance by the command of the Lord the cities and the country round. ⁴ And the lot came out for the children of Caath; and the sons of Aaron, the priests the Levites, had by lot thirteen cities out of the tribe of Juda, and out of the tribe of Symeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin. ⁵ And to the sons of Caath that were left were [given by] lot ten cities, out of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasse. ⁶ And the sons of Gedson had thirteen cities, out of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Aser, and out of the tribe of Nephthali, and out of the half tribe of Manasse in Basan. ⁷ And the sons of Merari according to their families had by lot twelve cities, out of the tribe of Ruben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zabulon. ⁸ And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs, as the Lord commanded Moses, by lot. ⁹ And the tribe of the children of Juda, and the tribe of the children of Symeon, and [part] of the tribe of the children of Benjamin gave these cities, and they were assigned ¹⁰ to the sons of Aaron of the family of Caath of the sons of Levi, for the lot fell to these. ¹¹ And they gave to them Cariatharboc the metropolis of the sons of Enac; this is Chebron in the mountain [country] of Juda, and the suburbs round it. ¹² But the lands of the city, and its villages Joshua gave to the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne for a possession. ¹³ And to the sons of Aaron he gave the city of refuge for the slayer, Chebron, and the suburbs belonging to it; and Lemna and the suburbs belonging to it; ¹⁴ and Aelom and its suburbs; and Tema and its suburbs; ¹⁵ and Gella and its suburbs; and Dabir and its suburbs; ¹⁶ and Asa and its suburbs; and Tany and its suburbs; and Baethsamys and its suburbs: nine cities from these two tribes. ¹⁷ And from the tribe of Benjamin, Gabaon and its suburbs; and Gatheth and its suburbs; ¹⁸ and Anathoth and its suburbs; and Gamala and its suburbs; four cities. ¹⁹ All the cities of the sons of Aaron the priests, thirteen. ²⁰ And to the families, [even] the sons of Caath the Levites, that were left of the sons of Caath, there was [given] their priests' city, ²¹ out of the tribe of Ephraim; and they gave them the slayer's city of refuge, Sychem, and its suburbs, and Gazara and its appendages, and its suburbs; ²² and Baethoron and its suburbs: four cities: ²³ and the tribe of Dan, Helcothaim and its suburbs; and Gethedan and its suburbs: ²⁴ and Aelon and its suburbs; and Getheremmon and its suburbs: four cities. ²⁵ And out of the half tribe of Manasse, Tanach and its suburbs; and Jebatha and its suburbs; two cities. ²⁶ In all [were given] ten cities, and the suburbs of each belonging to them, to the families of the sons of Caath that remained. ²⁷ And [Joshua gave] to the sons of Gedson the Levites out of the other half tribe of Manasse cities set apart for the slayers, Gaulon in the country of Basan, and its suburbs; and Bosora and its suburbs; two cities. ²⁸ And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kison and its suburbs; and Debba and its suburbs; ²⁹ and Remmath and its suburbs; and the well of Letters, and its suburbs; four cities. ³⁰ And out of the tribe of Aser, Basella and its suburbs; and Dabbon and its suburbs; ³¹ and Chelcat and its suburbs; and Raab and its suburbs; four cities. ³² And of the tribe of Nephthali, the city set apart for the slayer, Cades in Galilee, and its suburbs; and Nemmath, and its suburbs; and Themmon and its suburbs; three cities. ³³ All the cities of Gedson according to their families [were] thirteen cities. ³⁴ And to the family of the sons of Merari the Levites that remained, [he gave] out of the tribe of Zabulon, Maan and its suburbs; and Cades and its suburbs, ³⁵ and Sella and its suburbs: three cities. ³⁶ And beyond Jordan over against Jericho, out of the tribe of Ruben, the city of refuge for the slayer, Bosor in the wilderness; Miso and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs; and Decmon and its suburbs; and Mapha and its suburbs; four cities. ³⁷ And out of the tribe of Gad the city of refuge for the slayer, both Ramoth in Galaad, and its suburbs; Camin and its suburbs; and Esbon and its suburbs; and Jazer and its suburbs: the cities [were] four in all. ³⁸ All [these] cities [were given] to the sons of Merari according to the families of them that were left out of the tribe of Levi; and their limits were the twelve cities. ³⁹ All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the children of Israel, [were] forty-eight cities, ⁴⁰ and their suburbs round about these cities: a city and the suburbs round about the city to all these cities: and Joshua ceased dividing the land by their borders: and the children of Israel gave a portion to Joshua because of the commandment of the Lord: they gave him the city which he asked: they gave him Thamnasachar in mount Ephraim; and Joshua built the city, and lived in it: and Joshua took the knives of stone, wherewith he circumcised the children of Israel that were born in the desert by the way, and put them in Thamnasachar. ⁴¹ So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they inherited it, and lived in it. ⁴² And the Lord gave them rest round about, as he sware to their fathers: not one of all their enemies maintained his ground against them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands. ⁴³ There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.

⁵⁴ And these [are] their residences in their villages, in their coasts, to the sons of Aaron, to their family the Caathites: for they had the lot. ⁵⁵ And they gave them Chebron in the land of Juda, and its suburbs round about it. ⁵⁶ But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Chaleb the son of Jephonne. ⁵⁷ And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge, [even] Chebron, and Lobna and her suburbs round about, and Selna and her suburbs, and Esthamo and her suburbs, ⁵⁸ and Jethar and her suburbs, and Dabir and her suburbs, ⁵⁹ and Asan and her suburbs, and Baethsamys and her suburbs: ⁶⁰ and of the tribe of Benjamin Gabai and her suburbs, and Galemath and her suburbs, and Anathoth and her suburbs: all their cities [were] thirteen cities according to their families. ⁶¹ And to the sons of Caath that were left of their families, [there were given] out of the tribe, [namely], out of the half-tribe of Manasse, by lot, ten cities. ⁶² And to the sons of Gedson according to their families [there were given] thirteen cities of the tribe of Issachar, of the tribe of Aser, of the tribe of Nephthali, of the tribe of Manasse in Basan. ⁶³ And to the sons of Merari according to their families [there were given], by lot, twelve cities of the tribe of Ruben, of the tribe of Gad, [and] of the tribe of Zabulon. ⁶⁴ So the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs. ⁶⁵ And they gave by lot out of the tribe of the children of Juda, and out of the tribe of the children of Symeon, and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, these cities which they call by name. ⁶⁶ And [to the members] of the families of the sons of Caath there were also given the cities of their borders out of the tribe of Ephraim. ⁶⁷ And they gave them the cities of refuge, Sychem and her suburbs in mount Ephraim, and Gazer and her suburbs, ⁶⁸ and Jecmaan and her suburbs, and Baethoron and her suburbs, ⁶⁹ and Aelon and her suburbs, and Gethremmon and her suburbs: ⁷⁰ and of the half-tribe of Manasse Anar and her suburbs, and Jemblaan and her suburbs, to the sons of Caath that were left, according to [each several] family. ⁷¹ To the sons of Gedson from the families of the half-tribe of Manasse [they gave] Golan of Basan and her suburbs, and Aseroth and her suburbs. ⁷² And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kedes and her suburbs, and Deberi and her suburbs, and Dabor and her suburbs, ⁷³ and Ramoth, and Aenan and her suburbs. ⁷⁴ And of the tribe of Aser; Maasal and her suburbs, and Abdon and her suburbs, ⁷⁵ and Acac and her suburbs, and Roob and her suburbs. ⁷⁶ And of the tribe of Nephthali; Kedes in Galilee and her suburbs, and Chamoth and her suburbs, and Kariathaim and her suburbs. ⁷⁷ To the sons of Merari that were left, [they gave] out of the tribe of Zabulon Remmon and her suburbs, and Thabor and her suburbs: ⁷⁸ out of [the country] beyond Jordan; Jericho westward of Jordan: out of the tribe of Ruben; Bosor in the wilderness and her suburbs, and Jasa and her suburbs, ⁷⁹ and Kadmoth and her suburbs, and Maephla and her suburbs. ⁸⁰ Out of the tribe of Gad; Rammoth Galaad and her suburbs, and Maanaim and her suburbs, ⁸¹ and Esebon and her suburbs, and Jazer and her suburbs.
