¹ And it came to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying,––Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites, first, to make war upon them? ² And Yahweh said––Judah, shall go,––lo! I have delivered the land into his power. ³ Then said Judah, unto Simeon his brother––Come up with me into the territory allotted me, and let us make war on the Canaanites, then will, I also, go with thee, into thy territory. So Simeon went with him. ⁴ And Judah went up, and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand,––and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men. ⁵ And they found Adoni–bezek in Bezek, and fought with him,––and smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites. ⁶ But Adoni–bezek fled, and they pursued him,––and took him, and cut off his thumbs, and his great toes. ⁷ Then said Adoni–bezek––Seventy kings, with their thumbs and great toes cut off, have been picking up crumbs under my table, as I have done, so, hath God requited me.

⁹ And, afterwards, the sons of Judah went down to make war upon the Canaanites,––dwelling in the hill country, and in the south, and in the lowland. ¹⁰ And Judah went against the Canaanites who were dwelling in Hebron, now, the name of Hebron, formerly, was Kiriath–arba,––and they smote Sheshai and Ahiman, and Talmai. ¹¹ And he went from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir,––now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath–sepher. ¹² And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath–sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah my daughter, to wife. ¹³ Then Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it,––and he gave him Achsah his daughter, to wife. ¹⁴ And it came pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her––What aileth thee? ¹⁵ And she said unto him––Give me a present; for, south land, hast thou given me, give me therefore pools of water.

¹ Now, Moses, was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father–in–law, priest of Midian,––so he led forth the flock behind the desert, and came in unto the mountain of God, to Horeb.

¹⁰ Now, when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them, and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh. ¹¹ Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us, to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt? ¹² Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians,––for it is, better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert? ¹³ And Moses said unto the people––Do not fear, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today,––for, as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall not again see them any more, to times age–abiding. ¹⁴ Yahweh, will fight for you,––and, ye, shall, forbear.
¹⁵ And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward; ¹⁶ and, thou, lift high thy staff, and stretch forth thy hand over the sea, and cleave it asunder,––that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea, on dry ground; ¹⁷ and, I, behold me, letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them,––that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. ¹⁸ And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh,––when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen. ¹⁹ And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel, removed, and came on behind them,––and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them; ²⁰ so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians, and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night,––so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind, all the night, and turned the sea into dry land,––and the waters were cloven asunder. ²² Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea, on the dry ground,––and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand, and on their left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them––all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen,––into the midst of the sea. ²⁴ And it came to pass, in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians; ²⁵ and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily,––so that the Egyptians said––We must flee from the face of Israel, for, Yahweh, is fighting for them, against the Egyptians. ²⁶ Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea,––that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. ²⁷ So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when, the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it,––thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians, into the midst of the sea; ²⁸ thus the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh, that were entering after them into the sea,––there was not left remaining among them, so much as one. ²⁹ But, the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea,––and, the waters, had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left. ³⁰ Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians,––and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea. ³¹ And, when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh,––and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.

Wherefore art, thou, sitting, alone, with, all the people, stationed by thee, from morning until evening? ¹⁵ And Moses said to his father–in–law,––Because the people come in unto me, to seek God: ¹⁶ When they have a matter, they come in unto me, then do I judge between a man and his neighbour,––and make known the statutes of God, and his laws. ¹⁷ Then said Moses’ father–in–law unto him,––Not good, is the thing that thou art doing.

³⁰ Thus shalt thou place, in the breastpiece for giving sentence, the lights and the perfections, so shall they be upon the heart of Aaron, when he goeth in before Yahweh,––so shall Aaron bear the sentence of the sons of Israel, upon his heart, before Yahweh, continually.

¹⁹ And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him: ²⁰ fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he inflicteth a blemish upon a human being, so, shall one be inflicted upon him. ²¹ And, he that killeth a beast, shall make it good,––and, he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.

¹⁰ Of the sons of Joseph,––Of Ephraim, Elishama, son of Ammihud; Of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;

³ And they who encamp eastwards, towards sunrise, [shall be] the standard of the camp of Judah, by their hosts,––even the prince of the sons of Judah, Nashon, son of Amminadab;

³ And Yahweh hearkened unto the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanite into his hand, so he utterly destroyed them, and their cities,––and called the name of the place Hormah [that is, "Utter Destruction"].

²¹ And, before Eleazar the priest, shall he stand, and shall ask by him for the decision of the Lights, before Yahweh,––at the bidding thereof, shall they go out, and, at the bidding thereof, shall they come in––he, and all the sons of Israel with him, even all the assembly.

⁴ and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh–barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar–addar, and cross over towards Azmon;

³⁶ saving Caleb, son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and, unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons,––because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

² and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them, thou shalt devote them to destruction, thou shalt not solemnise with them a covenant, neither shalt thou shew them favour;

¹² Now, therefore I pray you, swear unto me by Yahweh, since I have dealt with you in lovingkindness, that, ye also, will deal with the house of my father in lovingkindness, and will give me a token of faithfulness, ¹³ and will save alive my father and my mother, and my brethren and my sisters, and all that they have,––and will deliver our souls from death. ¹⁴ And the men said unto her, Our souls in your stead unto death, if ye utter not this our business,––so shall it be, when Yahweh shall give us the land, that we will deal with thee in lovingkindness and in faithfulness.

²² But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot,––and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her. ²³ So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out,––and set them outside the camp of Israel. ²⁴ But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein,––save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh. ²⁵ And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day,––because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

² And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai which was beside Beth–aven on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them saying, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up, and spied out Ai.

¹² Therefore cannot the sons of Israel stand before their enemies, their back, do they turn before their enemies, because they have become devoted,––I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the devoted thing out of your midst.

⁸ And Yahweh said unto Joshua: Do not fear because of them, for, into thy hand, have I delivered them,––not a man of them shall stand before thee. ⁹ So then Joshua came in unto them, suddenly,––all the night, came he up, from Gilgal. ¹⁰ And Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon,––and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth–horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as Makkedah.

³⁶ And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon unto Hebron,––and they fought against it;

³⁸ Then Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, unto Debir,––and fought against it; ³⁹ and captured it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted to destruction every soul that was therein, he left not a survivor,––as he had done unto Hebron, so, did he unto Debir, and unto the king thereof, as also he had done unto Libnah, and unto her king.

¹ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard, that he sent unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph; ² and unto the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the waste plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland,––and in the heights of Dor, on the west: ³ the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite and the Jebusite, in the hill country,––and the Hivite, under Hermon, in the land of Mizpah; ⁴ and they came out––they, and all their hosts with them, much people, like the sand that is upon the seashore for multitude,––with horses and chariots very many. ⁵ And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. ⁶ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua––Do not fear because of them, for, tomorrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel,––their horses, shalt thou ham–string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up with fire.

⁶ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua––Do not fear because of them, for, tomorrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel,––their horses, shalt thou ham–string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up with fire. ⁷ So Joshua, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon them.

⁷ So Joshua, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon them. ⁸ And Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth–maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward,––yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor.

⁸ And Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth–maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward,––yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor. ⁹ And Joshua did unto them, as Yahweh had said unto him,––their horses, he ham–strung, and, their chariots, burned he up with fire.

²¹ And Joshua came in, at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country––from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel,––with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction. ²² There was left remaining none of the Anakim, in the land of the sons of Israel,––save only, in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

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

³ from the Shihor which faceth Egypt, even as far as the boundary of Ekron, northward, to the Canaanites, is it counted,––five princes of Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also the Avvim

⁴ for the sons of Joseph became two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim,––so they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, save only cities to dwell in, with the pasture lands thereof, for their cattle and for their substance.

⁹ So then Moses sware on that day saying, Surely, the land on which thy foot hath trodden, unto thee, shall belong, for an inheritance, and unto thy sons, unto times age–abiding,––because thou hast wholly followed Yahweh my God. ¹⁰ Now, therefore lo! Yahweh hath kept me alive as he spake these forty and five years from the time Yahweh spake this word unto Moses, while Israel journeyed in the desert. Now, therefore lo! I––today, am eighty and five years old: ¹¹ I remain, today, as courageous as on the day when Moses sent me, as my strength was then, so also my strength is now,––for war, both to go out and to come in. ¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain, whereof Yahweh spake, on that day,––for, thou thyself, didst hear, on that day, that, Anakim, were there, and great cities fortified, if so be Yahweh be with me, then shall I dispossess them, as spake Yahweh.

¹² Now, therefore, give me this mountain, whereof Yahweh spake, on that day,––for, thou thyself, didst hear, on that day, that, Anakim, were there, and great cities fortified, if so be Yahweh be with me, then shall I dispossess them, as spake Yahweh. ¹³ So Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, for an inheritance. ¹⁴ For this cause, hath Hebron belonged unto Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite, for an inheritance, unto this day,––because he wholly followed Yahweh, God of Israel. ¹⁵ Now, the name of Hebron, was formerly, City of Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim, was he. And, the land, had rest from war.

² so their south boundary beginneth at the end of the Salt Sea,––from the bay that turneth to the south; ³ and goeth forth on the south of the cliffs of Akrabbim, and crosseth over to Zin, and goeth up on the south of Kadesh–barnea,––and passeth over by Hezron, and goeth up to Addar, and turneth round to Karka;

¹³ And, to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, gave he a portion, in the midst of the sons of Judah, at the bidding of Yahweh, by Joshua,––even the City of Arba, father of Anak, the same, is Hebron.

¹³ And, to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, gave he a portion, in the midst of the sons of Judah, at the bidding of Yahweh, by Joshua,––even the City of Arba, father of Anak, the same, is Hebron.

¹³ And, to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, gave he a portion, in the midst of the sons of Judah, at the bidding of Yahweh, by Joshua,––even the City of Arba, father of Anak, the same, is Hebron. ¹⁴ And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak,––Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

¹⁴ And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak,––Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

¹⁴ And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak,––Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak. ¹⁵ And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir,––now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath–sepher.

¹⁵ And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir,––now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath–sepher.

¹⁵ And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir,––now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath–sepher. ¹⁶ Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath–sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife.

¹⁶ Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath–sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife.

¹⁶ Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath–sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife. ¹⁷ And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it,––so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife.

¹⁷ And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it,––so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife.

¹⁷ And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it,––so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife. ¹⁸ And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her––What aileth thee?

¹⁸ And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her––What aileth thee? ¹⁹ And she said––Give me a present, for, dry land, hast thou given me, therefore must thou give me, pools of water. So he gave her upper pools and lower pools.

¹⁹ And she said––Give me a present, for, dry land, hast thou given me, therefore must thou give me, pools of water. So he gave her upper pools and lower pools.
²⁰ This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families.

⁴⁵ Ekron with her towns, and her villages. ⁴⁶ From Ekron, even unto the sea,––all that were by the side of Ashdod with their villages. ⁴⁷ Ashdod, her towns and her villages. Gaza, her towns and her villages, as far as the ravine of Egypt,––and the great sea and coast.

⁶³ But, as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not dispossess them,––so the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Judah, in Jerusalem, until this day.

¹ Then came out the lot, for the sons of Joseph, from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho, eastward,––the desert, going up from Jericho, through the hill country to Bethel; ² and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz,––and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth; ³ and descendeth westward, unto the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Bethhoron the nether, and as far as Gezer,––and the extensions thereof are to the sea. ⁴ So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

¹⁰ But they did not dispossess the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gazer,––so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and have become tributary servants.

¹¹ And Manasseh had––in Issachar and in Asher––Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En–dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns––the three heights, ¹² The sons of Manasseh, however, could not dispossess these cities,––but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land; ¹³ but, when the sons of Israel had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute,––though they, dispossessed, them not.

¹⁶ And the sons of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us,––and there are, chariots of iron, among all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, belonging both to them in Bethshean, and her towns, and to them in the valley of Jezreel. ¹⁷ And Joshua made answer unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying,––A numerous people, thou art, and, great vigour, thou hast, thou shalt not have one lot only; ¹⁸ for, the hill country, shall be thine, in that, a forest, it is, therefore canst thou cut it down, and thine shall be the extensions thereof,––for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though, chariots of iron, they have, and though, strong, they are.

¹¹ Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families,––and the boundary of their lot came out, between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. ¹² And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan,––and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth–aven; ¹³ and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz, southwards, the same, is Bethel,––and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth–addah, by the mountain that is on the south of Beth–horon the nether; ¹⁴ then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border, southward, from the mountain which faceth Beth–horon, southward, and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath–baal––the same, is Kiriath–jearim, a city of the sons of Judah,––this, is the west border. ¹⁵ And, the border southward, is from the uttermost part of Kiriath–jearim,––and the boundary goeth out westward, yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; ¹⁶ and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the Vale of Giants, northward,––and descendeth the valley of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite, southward, and then descendeth to En–rogel; ¹⁷ and it turneth on the north, and goeth out at En–shemesh, and goeth out unto Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim,––and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben; ¹⁸ and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward,––and goeth down toward the Arabah; ¹⁹ and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth–hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward,––This, is the south boundary. ²⁰ And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families. ²¹ So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are,––Jericho and Beth–hoglah, and Emekkeziz, ²² and Beth–arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel, ²³ and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah, ²⁴ and Chephar–ammoni and Ophni, and Geba,––twelve cities, with their villages: ²⁵ Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth, ²⁶ and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah, ²⁷ and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah, ²⁸ and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath [and] Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages. This, is the inheritance of the song of Benjamin, by their families.

¹ And the second lot came out, for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families,––and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

⁴ and Eltolad and Bethul, and Hormah,

¹⁵ and Kattath and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah and Beth–lehem,––twelve cities, with their villages.

²⁴ Then came out the fifth lot, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, by their families. ²⁵ And their boundary was,––Helkath and Hali, and Beten and Achshaph, ²⁶ and Allam–melech and Amad, and Mishal,––and it toucheth Carmel to the west, and Shihor–libnath; ²⁷ and it turneth toward sunrise––to Beth–dagon, and toucheth Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah–el northward, and Beth–emek, and Neiel; and goeth out unto Cabul, on the left, ²⁸ and Ebron and Rehob, and Hammon and Kanah,––as far as Zidon the populous; ²⁹ and the boundary turneth to Ramah, and as far as the city of the fortress of Tyre,––then the boundary turneth to Hosah, and so the extensions thereof are, on the west, from Hebel to Achzib; ³⁰ Ummah also and Aphek, and Rehob,––twenty–two cities, with their villages,

³² For the sons of Naphtali, came out the sixth lot,––for the sons of Naphtali, by their families. ³³ And their boundary was from Heleph, from the terebinth of Bezaannim, and Adami–nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and so the extensions thereof were to the Jordan; ³⁴ and the boundary turneth westward, to Aznoth–tabor, and goeth out from thence, toward Hukkok,––and toucheth Zebulun on the south, and, Asher, it toucheth on the west, and Judah, at the Jordan towards sunrise. ³⁵ And, the fortified cities, are,––Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth, ³⁶ and Adamah and Ramah, and Hazor, ³⁷ and Kedesh and Edrei, and En–hazor, ³⁸ and Iron and Migdal–el, Horem and Beth–anath, and Beth–shemesh,––nineteen cities, with their villages.

⁴² and Shaalabbin and Aijalon, and Ithlah,

⁴⁷ And, when the boundary of the sons of Dan went out beyond these, then went up the sons of Dan and fought against Leshem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and took possession thereof, and dwelt therein, and they called Leshem––Dan, after the name of Dan their father,

¹¹ yea there was given unto them, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, the same, is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah,––with the pasture land thereof, round about it; ¹² whereas, the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.

²⁵ And, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach, with her pasture land, and Gath–rimmon, with her pasture land,––two cities.

²⁹ And it came to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of Yahweh, died, being a hundred and ten years old. ³⁰ And they buried him within the bounds of his own inheritance, in Timnath–serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.

¹ And it came to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying,––Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites, first, to make war upon them? ² And Yahweh said––Judah, shall go,––lo! I have delivered the land into his power. ³ Then said Judah, unto Simeon his brother––Come up with me into the territory allotted me, and let us make war on the Canaanites, then will, I also, go with thee, into thy territory. So Simeon went with him.

⁸ And the sons of Judah made war upon Jerusalem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,––and, the city, they set on fire.

¹⁰ And Judah went against the Canaanites who were dwelling in Hebron, now, the name of Hebron, formerly, was Kiriath–arba,––and they smote Sheshai and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹⁷ Then went Judah, with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites dwelling in Zephath,––and devoted it to destruction, and the name of the city was called Hormah.

¹⁹ And it same to pass that Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country,––but did not dispossess the inhabitants of the vale, because they had, chariots of iron. ²⁰ So they gave unto Caleb Hebron, as spake Moses,––and he drave out from thence the three sons of Anak.
²¹ But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out,––but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day.

²⁷ But Manasseh took not possession of Beth–shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns,––but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land;

²⁷ But Manasseh took not possession of Beth–shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns,––but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land; ²⁸ when Israel, however, had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute,––though they, dispossessed, them not. ²⁹ And, Ephraim, dispossessed not the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gezer,––so the Canaanites remained in their midst, in Gezer. ³⁰ Zebulun, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol,––but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute.

³⁰ Zebulun, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol,––but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute. ³¹ Asher, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon,––nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob; ³² but the Asherites dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land,––for they dispossessed them not.

³⁵ and, though the Amorites were determined to remain in the hill country of Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, yet was the hand of the house of Joseph heavy, so that they came under tribute.

¹ Now, these, are the nations which Yahweh left, that he might, by them, put Israel to the proof,––all who had not known any of the wars of Canaan; ² that the generations of the sons of Israel might certainly get to know, by being taught to make war,––such, at least, as aforetime knew nothing thereof:–– ³ five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites dwelling in Mount Lebanon,––from Mount Baal–hermon as far as the entering in of Hamath.

³ five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites dwelling in Mount Lebanon,––from Mount Baal–hermon as far as the entering in of Hamath. ⁴ So then [these] were [left], that, by them, he might put Israel to the proof,––to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. ⁵ And thus, the sons of Israel, dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites,––the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites; ⁶ and took their daughters to be their wives, their own daughters moreover, gave they unto their sons, and they served their gods.

⁹ And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, so Yahweh raised up a saviour unto the sons of Israel, who saved them,––even Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

¹³ and he gathered unto him, the sons of Ammon, and Amalek,––and came and smote Israel, and took possession of the city of palm–trees.

¹¹ Now, Heber the Kenite, had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the sons of Hobab, father–in–law of Moses,––and moved his tent as far as the oak of Zaanaim, which is near Kadesh.

¹⁷ Now, Sisera, had fled on foot, unto the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazer, and the house of Heber the Kenite.

¹⁹ On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo,––Plunder of silver, they took not away!

¹² so the messenger of Yahweh appeared unto him,––and said unto him, Yahweh, is with thee, thou mighty man of valour! ¹³ And Gideon said unto him––Pardon, my lord! if Yahweh be with us, then wherefore hath all this befallen us? and where are all his wonders, which our fathers have recounted to us––saying, Was it not, out of Egypt, that Yahweh brought us up? But, now, hath Yahweh abandoned us, and delivered us into the hand of Midian.

¹² And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.

¹ Then went Samson unto Gaza,––and saw there an unchaste woman, and went in unto her. ² And it was told the Gazites, saying––Samson hath come in hither. So they came round, and lay in wait for him, all the night, in the gate of the city,––but kept themselves quiet all the night, saying, Until the light of the morning, then will we slay him.

²¹ And the Philistines seized him, and put out his eyes,––and took him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of bronze, and it came to pass that he used to grind in the prison.

¹ In those days, there was no king in Israel,––and, in those days, the tribe of the Danites was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in for there had not fallen to them, unto that day, in the midst of the tribes of Israel, enough for an inheritance. ² So then the sons of Dan sent, out of their family, five men out of their bounds––men who were sons of valour––out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol––to spy out the land, and to explore it, and they said unto them, Go! explore the land. And they came into the hill country of Ephraim, as far as the house of Micah, and lodged there.

¹⁰ But the man would not tarry the night, but rose up and went his way, and came as far as over against Jebus, the same, is Jerusalem,––and, with him, were a couple of asses, saddled, his concubine also, was with him. ¹¹ They being by Jebus, and, the day, having gone far down, the young man said unto his lord––Do come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and tarry the night therein. ¹² And his lord said unto him, We will not turn aside into a city of aliens, who are, not of the sons of Israel,––but will pass on as far as Gibeah.

¹⁸ And they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said––Judah, first.

²⁸ and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said––Go up, for, tomorrow, will I deliver him into thy hand.

¹⁷ Now, these, are the golden boils which, the Philistines returned as a guilt–offering unto Yahweh,––For Ashdod, one, for Gaza, one, for Ashkelon, one, for Gath, one, for Ekron, one;

⁸ And, when he numbered them in Bezek, the sons of Israel were found to be––three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

⁶ So Jonathan said unto the young man bearing his armour––Come! and let us cross over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised, peradventure, Yahweh may work by us,––for there is no restraint with Yahweh, to save by many, or by few.

¹⁰ but, if thus, they say, Come up unto us, then will we go up; for Yahweh hath delivered them into our hand,––This, then, is our sign.

⁶ Then said Saul unto the Kenites––Go, depart, get you down out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them, yet, ye, dealt in lovingkindness, with all the sons of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed out of the midst of the Amalekites.

⁹ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and the oxen and the lambs, also the fatlings, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction,––but, all the cattle that was contemptible and diseased, that, devoted they to destruction.

³³ And Samuel said, As women have been made childless by thy sword, So, childless among women, shall be, thine own mother. And Samuel cut Agag asunder before Yahweh, in Gilgal.

²⁵ And the men of Israel said––Have ye seen this man that is coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make free in Israel.

⁴⁶ This day, will Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth,––that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God; ⁴⁷ and that all this gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save,––for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver you into our hand.

²³ And the servants of Saul spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said––Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son–in–law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?

⁹ Then answered Doeg the Edomite––he, being stationed near the servants of Saul––and said,––I saw the son of Jesse coming into Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub; ¹⁰ Then enquired he for him of Yahweh, Provisions also, gave he unto him,––and, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, gave he unto him.

⁹ And David ascertained that, against him, Saul was contriving mischief,––so he said unto Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. ¹⁰ Then said David: O Yahweh, God of Israel, thy servant, hath heard, that Saul is seeking to come unto Keilah,––to destroy the city, for my sake:

¹⁸ Then Abigail hastened––and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs,––and put them on the asses.

²⁷ Now, therefore, this blessing which thy maid–servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.

¹⁵ And David said unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said––Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto this troop.

⁶ Then went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land,––and they spake to David, saying––Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame––Thinking, David will not come in hither. ⁷ So then David captured the citadel of Zion,––the same, is the city of David. ⁸ And David said, on that day––Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul,––for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place. ⁹ So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David,––and David built round about, from Millo and inwards. ¹⁰ And David went on and on waxing great,––Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.

¹¹ And he said––If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou become my deliverance,––but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I come with deliverance to thee.

⁹ Ben–deker, in Makaz and in Shaalbim and Beth–shemesh,––and Elon–beth–hanan;

¹⁶ Pharaoh king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, and burned it with fire, the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city, had he slain,––and had given it as a dowry, to his daughter, wife of Solomon.

⁶ Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel,––Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them––Shall I go against Ramoth–gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said––Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.

¹⁵ So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him––Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.

⁶ Now, the Lord, had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, noise of horses, a noise of a great host,––and they said one to another––Lo! the king of Israel hath hired against us––the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come against us.

⁷ So Yahweh was with him, whithersoever he went forth, he prospered,––and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

¹⁵ Ozem, the sixth, David, the seventh.

²⁹ and, on the sides of the sons of Manasseh, Beth–shean and the villages thereof, Taanach and the villages thereof, Megiddo and the villages thereof, Dor and the villages thereof. In these, dwelt the sons of Joseph, son of Israel.

¹⁷ and they built and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot, for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse, for a hundred and fifty,–and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria, by their means, brought they them forth.

¹⁰ And Asa went out to meet him,––and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah.

¹⁶ At that time, sent King Ahaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

²⁴ Yahweh therefore repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the pureness of my hands, before his eyes.

¹⁶ Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength: ¹⁷ A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.

⁷ Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]

⁹ Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth,––The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war–chariots, burneth he up with fire.

¹¹ Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. [Selah.]

¹² In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.

⁶⁸ But made choice of the tribe of Judah, The mountain of Zion, which he loved; ⁶⁹ And built, like the heights, his sanctuary, Like the earth, he founded it to times age–abiding. ⁷⁰ And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep:

³⁴ They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them; ³⁵ But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;

¹¹ I again saw under the sun, that not, to the swift, was the race, nor, to the strong, the battle, nay! nor, to the wise, food, nor yet, to the intelligent, riches, nor, even to the well–informed, comeliness,––for, time and accident, happened to them all.

¹⁴ Wherefore, let My Lord Himself give, you a sign,––Lo! a Virgin, being with child and giving birth to a son, thou wilt call his name Immanuel.

¹⁰ Determine a plan,––and it shall be frustrated,––Speak a word, and it shall not stand, For With–us–is–GOD!

¹ Alas! thou plunderer, when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor, when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee.

¹⁰ Do not fear, for, with thee, I am! Look not around, for, I, am thy God,––I have emboldened thee, Yea I have helped thee, Yea I have upheld thee, with my righteous, right–hand.

¹⁴ Do not fear, Thou worm Jacob, Ye men of Israel,––I, have become thy helper, Declareth Yahweh, And thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel. ¹⁵ Lo! I have made of thee a new pointed threshing sledge, owning teeth,––Thou shalt thresh mountains, and crush them, And, hills––like chaff, shalt thou make:

²³ Thus, saith Yahweh, Let not, the wise man, glory, in his wisdom, Neither let, the mighty man, glory, in his might,––Let not, the rich man, glory, in his riches;

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

¹⁰ Accursed, be he that doeth the business of Yahweh, carelessly; And, accursed, be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood!

²³ Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,––and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.

¹ Judge not, that ye be not judged; –– ² For, with what judgment ye judge, shall ye be judged,––and, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured unto you.

³⁰ But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying––Lord! save me! ³¹ And, straightway, Jesus, stretching forth his hand, laid hold upon him and saith unto him––O little–of–faith! why didst thou doubt?

¹⁹ Then, the disciples, coming near, to Jesus, privately, said––Wherefore could, we, not cast it out? ²⁰ And, he, saith unto them––Because of your little faith. For, verily, I say unto you––If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence yonder; and it shall be removed, and, nothing, shall be impossible to you.

³⁷ And do not judge, and in nowise shall ye be judged; and do not condemn, and in nowise shall ye be condemned; release, and ye shall be released; ³⁸ Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they give into your lap; for, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured back unto you.

¹⁵ Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing––or, even excusing, them:––

³¹ What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God [is] for us, who [shall be] against us?

⁵ Necessary, therefore, I regarded it, to exhort the brethren that they would go forward unto you, and make up beforehand your previously– promised blessing. The same, to be ready––thus, as a blessing, and not as of constraint.

¹³ I have might, for all things, in him that empowereth me.

⁷ For, land, which hath drunk in, the rain, thereupon ofttimes coming, and which bringeth forth vegetation fit for them for whom it is even cultivated, partaketh of a blessing from God;

¹⁴ For it is, very evident, that out of Judah hath sprung our Lord,––respecting which tribe, concerning priests, nothing did Moses speak,

¹³ For, the judgment, [will be] without mercy, unto him that hath shewed no mercy: Mercy, boasteth, over judgment.

⁹ Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing,––because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.

⁵ And, one of the elders, saith unto me––Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.

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

¹⁰ If anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

⁶ Because, blood of saints and prophets, poured they out, and, blood, unto them, hast thou given to drink: Worthy, they are!

¹¹ And I saw heaven, set open, and lo! a white horse, and, he that was sitting thereon, [called] Faithful, and True; and, in righteousness, doth he judge and make war; ¹² and, his eyes, are a flame of fire, and, upon his head, are many diadems, having, a name, written, which, no one, knoweth, but himself, ¹³ and arrayed with a mantle sprinkled with blood, and his name hath been called––The Word of God. ¹⁴ And, the armies which were in heaven, were following him, upon white horses, clothed with fine linen, white, pure; ¹⁵ and, out of his mouth, is going forth a sharp sword, that, therewith, he may smite the nations,––and, he, shall shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, and, he, treadeth the wine–press of the wrath of the anger of God the Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath, upon his mantle and upon his thigh, a name, written––King of kings, and Lord of lords.
