And Moses said to them: Why are you contending with me? Why are you probing Yahweh? ³ When the people thirsted there for water, the people grumbled against Moses and said: Why is this that you brought us up from Egypt to put me and my sons and my cattle to death by thirst? ⁴ So Moses cried to Yahweh, saying: What shall I do for this people? A little further and they will stone me. ⁵ Yahweh said to Moses: Pass before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and your rod with which you smote the waterway take in your hand and go. ⁶ Behold Me standing before you there, on the rock at Mount Horeb.

⁵¹ because both of you offended Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin, because neither of you hallowed Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.

¹⁶ We cried to Yahweh, and He heard our voice and sent a messenger and brought us forth from Egypt. Now behold, we are at Kadesh, a city at your outmost boundary.

Pray to Yahweh that He may take the serpents away from us. So Moses prayed about the people. ⁸ Yahweh said to Moses:Make for yourself a burning serpent and place it on a banner pole; and it will come to be that anyone bitten, when he sees it, will live. ⁹ Moses made a serpent of copper and placed it on the banner pole, and it came to be that if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked to the copper serpent he lived. ¹⁰ The sons of Israel journeyed and encamped in Oboth. ¹¹ Then they journeyed from Oboth and encamped in Iyim of the Abarim, in the wilderness which is adjoining Moab from the sunrise.

¹ While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people started to commit prostitution with the daughters of Moab, ² who called the people to the sacrifices of their elohim.

¹ When Yahweh your Elohim brings you into the land where you are about to enter in order to tenant it, and He eases many nations out before your face, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and substantial than you,

¹ Hear, Israel! Today you are ready to cross over the Jordan, to enter to tenant in the place of nations greater and more substantial than you, cities great and defended to the heavens,

¹⁷ and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan--established, and all Israel are passing over on dry ground till that all the nation has completed to pass over the Jordan.

²⁴ You shall not bow yourself down to their elohim nor be made to serve them, nor shall you do according to their deeds, for you shall demolish, yea demolish them and break down, yea break down their monuments.

³¹ And I will set your boundary from the Sea of Weeds unto the sea of the Philistines and from the wilderness unto the Stream, for I shall give into your hand the dwellers of the land, and you will drive them out from your presence. ³² You shall not contract a covenant with them or with their elohim. ³³ They shall not dwell in your land lest they should make you sin against Me so that you serve their elohim, and that it should come to be a trap for you.

¹² Guard yourself lest you contract a covenant with the dwellers of the land, to which you are entering, lest it become a trap among you. ¹³ For their altars shall you break down, and their monuments shall you break, and their Asherah poles shall you cut down. ¹⁴ For you shall not bow yourself down to another el (for Yahweh, Jealous is His name; He is a jealous El. ¹⁵ lest you contract a covenant with the dweller of the land when they prostitute after their elohim and sacrifice to their elohim lest one call to you that you eat of his sacrifice. ¹⁶ If you would take of his daughters for your sons and give your daughters to their sons, then his daughters would prostitute after their elohim and cause your sons to prostitute after their elohim. ¹⁷ Molten elohim you shall not make for yourself.

¹ You shall not make forbidden idols for yourselves, nor set up carvings and monuments for yourselves, nor put a stone picture in your land to bow yourself down before it, for I, Yahweh, am your Elohim.

² when Yahweh your Elohim gives them up before you, and you smite them, then you shall doom, yea doom them. You shall neither contract a covenant with them nor be gracious to them, ³ nor shall you intermarry with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter for your son. ⁴ For it might take away your son from following after Me, and they might serve other elohim, and the anger of Yahweh would grow hot against you, and He would exterminate you quickly. ⁵ But rather, thus shall you do to them:you shall tear down their altars, break their monuments, hack down their Asherah poles, and you shall burn their carvings with fire.

²⁵ You shall burn the carvings of their elohim with fire. You shall not covet the silver and gold on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be trapped by it, for it is an abhorrence to Yahweh your Elohim. ²⁶ You shall not bring an abhorrence into your house, or you will become doomed just like it is. You shall reject it as abominable, yea abominable; you shall reject it as abhorrent, yea abhorrent, for it is doomed.

² You shall destroy, yea destroy all the places where the nations (in whose stead you are tenanting) have served their elohim on the high mountains, on the hills and under every flourishing tree. ³ Tear down their altars and break their monuments; their Asherah poles you shall burn with fire, and the carvings of their elohim you shall hack down; thus you will destroy their name from that place.

³⁰ Guard yourself lest you should be trapped to go after them after they are exterminated before your face, and lest you inquire about their elohim, saying:How do these nations serve their elohim that I, I too, may do thus? ³¹ You shall not act thus toward Yahweh your Elohim, for every abhorrence which Yahweh hates they perform for their elohim, for even their sons and their daughters they burn with fire for their elohim.

¹⁶ But in the cities of these peoples which Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you as an allotment you shall not keep alive anything that has breath, ¹⁷ for you shall doom, yea doom them, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Girgashite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, just as Yahweh your Elohim had instructed you, ¹⁸ that they may not teach you to act according to all their abhorrences which they do for their elohim so that you might sin against Yahweh your Elohim.

¹¹ and they smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he has devoted--he has not left any one breathing, and Hazor he has burnt with fire;" ¹² and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, has Joshua captured, and he smites them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Yahweh, commanded.

⁷ so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and of the name of their elohims you do not make mention, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;"

² and said, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the eon; and you--you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land--their altars you break down; and you have not hearkened to My voice--what [is] this you have done?

³⁴ They did not exterminate the peoples As Yahweh had commanded them. ³⁵ They mixed with the nations, And they learned their customs." ³⁶ They served their fetishes, And these came to be a trap for them."

³¹ For you are crossing over the Jordan to enter and to tenant the land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you. When you tenant it and dwell in it,

⁸ When the Supreme gave the nations allotments, when He parted the sons of Adam, He stationed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of El.

⁴³ And Yahweh gives to Israel the whole of the land which He has sworn to give to their fathers, and they possess it, and dwell in it;"

¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ Yahweh's is the earth and its fullness, The habitance and those dwelling in it." ² For He, on the seas He has founded it, And on the streams He has established it."

¹⁶ The heavens are Yahweh's heavens, Yet He has given the earth to the sons of humanity."

⁵ Thus do you say unto your lords, I--I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in Mine eyes." ⁶ `And now, I--I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given to him to serve him;"

¹⁷ thus seven seasons shall pass on over him. In a severance of the rousers is the rescript, and in a statement of the saints is the request, unto the intent that the living shall know that the Supreme is in authority in the kingdom of mortals, and to whom He is willing is He giving it, and a low one of mortals is He setting over it.'"

²⁵ for they shall shove you from mortals, and with the animals of the field is to be your abode, and herbage will they feed to you, as oxen, and with the night mist of the heavens will you be streaked; thus seven seasons shall pass on over you till you shall know that the Supreme is in authority in the kingdom of mortals, and that to whom He is willing He is giving it."

³² From mortals are they shoving you, and with the animals of the field is your abode. Herbage will they feed to you, as oxen. Thus seven seasons shall pass on over you till you shall know that the Supreme is in authority in the kingdom of mortals and to whom He is willing He is giving it."

¹⁵ Is it not allowed me to do what I want with that which is mine? Or is your eye wicked, seeing that I am good?'"

⁵³ To these the land shall be apportioned by allotment by the number of names. ⁵⁴ For the numerous one you shall increase his allotment, and for the little one you shall decrease his allotment. Each corresponding to their mustered ones shall be given his allotment. ⁵⁵ Only, by lot shall the land be apportioned. By the names of their fathers' stocks shall they be allotted. ⁵⁶ At the bidding of the lot you shall apportion each his allotment, between the numerous one and the little one.

¹ And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah, for their families, is unto the border of Edom; the wilderness of Zin southward, at the extremity of the south;" ² and to them the south border is at the extremity of the salt sea, from the bay which is looking southward;" ³ and it has gone out unto the south to Maaleh-Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and gone up on the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and passed over [to] Hezron, and gone up to Adar, and turned round to Karkaa, ⁴ and passed over [to] Azmon, and gone out [at] the brook of Egypt, and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea; this is to you the south border. ⁵ And the east border [is] the salt sea, unto the extremity of the Jordan, and the border at the north quarter [is] from the bay of the sea, at the extremity of the Jordan;" ⁶ and the border has gone up [to] Beth-Hoglah, and passed over on the north of Beth-Arabah, and the border has gone up [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben. ⁷ and the border has gone up towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and northward looking unto Gilgal, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south of the brook, and the border has passed over unto the waters of En-Shemesh, and its outgoings have been unto En-Rogel;" ⁸ and the border has gone up the valley of the son of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite on the south (it [is] Jerusalem), and the border has gone up unto the top of the hill-country which [is] on the front of the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] in the extremity of the valley of the Rephaim northward;" ⁹ and the border has been marked out, from the top of the hill-country unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and has gone out unto the cities of mount Ephron, and the border has been marked out [to] Baalah, (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim);" ¹⁰ and the border has gone round from Baalah westward, unto mount Seir, and passed over unto the side of mount Jearim (it [is] Chesalon), on the north, and gone down [to] Beth-Shemesh, and passed over to Timnah;" ¹¹ and the border has gone out unto the side of Ekron northward, and the border has been marked out [to] Shicron, and has passed over to mount Baalah, and gone out [to] Jabneel; and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea. ¹² And the west border [is] to the great sea, and [its] border; this [is] the border of the sons of Judah round about for their families.

¹ And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he [is] first-born of Joseph), for Machir first-born of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he has been a man of war, and his are Gilead and Bashan. ² And there is for the sons of Manasseh who are left, for their families; for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these [are] the children of Manasseh son of Joseph--the males--by their families. ³ As to Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, he has no children except daughters, and these [are] the names of his daughters:Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah, ⁴ and they draw near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, `Yahweh commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren;' and he gives to them, at the command of Yahweh, an inheritance in the midst of the brethren of their father. ⁵ And ten portions fall [to] Manasseh, apart from the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [are] beyond the Jordan;" ⁶ for the daughters of Manasseh have inherited an inheritance in the midst of his sons, and the land of Gilead has been to the sons of Manasseh who are left. ⁷ And the border of Manasseh is from Asher to Michmethah, which [is] on the front of Shechem, and the border has gone on unto the right, unto the inhabitants of En-Tappuah. ⁸ To Manasseh has been the land of Tappuah, and Tappuah unto the border of Manasseh is to the sons of Ephraim. ⁹ And the border has come down [to] the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the border of Manasseh [is] on the north of the brook, and its outgoings are at the sea. ¹⁰ Southward [is] to Ephraim and northward to Manasseh, and the sea is his border, and in Asher they meet on the north, and in Issachar on the east. ¹¹ And Manasseh has in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, three counties. ¹² And the sons of Manasseh have not been able to occupy these cities, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in this land, ¹³ and it comes to pass when the sons of Israel have been strong, that they put the Canaanite to tribute, and have not utterly dispossessed him.

¹¹ And a lot goes up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goes out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. ¹² And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border has gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;" ¹³ and the border has gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border has gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;" ¹⁴ and the border has been marked out, and has gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah:this [is] the west quarter. ¹⁵ And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border has gone out westward, and gone out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;" ¹⁶ and the border has come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and has gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel, ¹⁷ and has been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben, ¹⁸ and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;" ¹⁹ and the border has passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;" ²⁰ and the Jordan does border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families. ²¹ And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, ²² and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El, ²³ and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, ²⁴ and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and 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 Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath:fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.

¹¹ and their border has gone up towards the sea, and Maralah, and come against Dabbasheth, and come unto the brook which [is] on the front of Jokneam, ¹² and turned back from Sarid eastward, at the sun-rising, by the border of Chisloth-Tabor, and gone out unto Daberath, and gone up to Japhia, ¹³ and thence it has passed over eastward, to the east, to Gittah-Hepher, [to] Ittah-Kazin, and gone out [to] Rimmon-Methoar to Neah;" ¹⁴ and the border has gone round about it, from the north to Hannathon; and its outgoings have been [in] the valley of Jiphthah-El, ¹⁵ and Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Beth-Lehem; twelve cities and their villages. ¹⁶ This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun, for their families, these cities and their villages. ¹⁷ For Issachar has the fourth lot gone out, for the sons of Issachar, for their families;" ¹⁸ and their border is [at] Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, ¹⁹ and Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath, ²⁰ and Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, ²¹ and Remeth, and En-Gannim, and En-Haddah, and Beth-Pazzez;" ²² and the border has touched against Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth-Shemesh, and the outgoings of their border have been [at] the Jordan; sixteen cities and their villages. ²³ This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, for their families, the cities and their villages. ²⁴ And the fifth lot goes out for the tribe of the sons of Asher, for their families;" ²⁵ and their border is Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, ²⁶ and Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and it touches against Carmel westward, and against Shihor-Libnath;" ²⁷ and has turned back, at the sun-rising, [to] Beth-Dagon, and come against Zebulun, and against the valley of Jiphthah-El toward the north of Beth-Emek, and Neiel, and has gone out unto Cabul on the left, ²⁸ and Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, unto great Zidon;" ²⁹ and the border has turned back to Ramah, and unto the fenced city Tyre; and the border has turned back to Hosah, and its outgoings are at the sea, from the coast to Achzib, ³⁰ and Ummah, and Aphek, and Rehob; twenty and two cities and their villages. ³¹ This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher, for their families, these cities and their villages. ³² For the sons of Naphtali has the sixth lot gone out, for the sons of Naphtali, for their families;" ³³ and their border is from Heleph, from Allon in Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakkum, and its outgoings are [at] the Jordan;" ³⁴ and the border has turned back westward [to] Aznoth-Tabor, and gone out thence to Hukkok, and touched against Zebulun on the south, and against Asher it has touched on the west, and against Judah [at] the Jordan, at the sun-rising;" ³⁵ and the cities of defence [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 and their villages. ³⁹ This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, for their families, the cities and their villages. ⁴⁰ For the tribe of the sons of Dan, for their families, has the seventh lot gone out;" ⁴¹ and the border of their inheritance is Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-Shemesh, ⁴² and Shalabbin, and Aijalon, and Jethlah, ⁴³ and Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, ⁴⁴ and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, ⁴⁵ and Jehud, and Bene-Barak, and Gath-Rimmon, ⁴⁶ and Me-Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over-against Japho. ⁴⁷ And the border of the sons of Dan goes out from them, and the sons of Dan go up and fight with Leshem, and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and possess it, and dwell in it, and call Leshem, Dan, according to the name of Dan their father. ⁴⁸ This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan, for their families, these cities and their villages.

³³ They shall not dwell in your land lest they should make you sin against Me so that you serve their elohim, and that it should come to be a trap for you.

⁴ For it might take away your son from following after Me, and they might serve other elohim, and the anger of Yahweh would grow hot against you, and He would exterminate you quickly.

¹⁶ Now you will devour all the peoples whom Yahweh your Elohim is delivering to you. Your eye shall not commiserate over them, and you shall not serve their elohim, for that is a trap to you.

¹² `But--if you at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you, ¹³ know certainly that Yahweh your Elohim is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till you perish from off this good ground which Yahweh your Elohim has given to you.

²¹ And the Jebusite, inhabiting Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed; and the Jebusite dwells with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, till this day. ²² And the house of Joseph go up--even they--to Beth-El, and Yahweh [is] with them;" ²³ and the house of Joseph cause [men] to spy about Beth-El (and the name of the city formerly is Luz), ²⁴ and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, `Show us, we pray you, the entrance of the city, and we have done with you kindness.. ²⁵ And he shows them the entrance of the city, and they smite the city by the mouth of the sword, and the man and all his family they have sent away;" ²⁶ and the man goes to the land of the Hittites, and builds a city, and calls its name Luz--it [is] its name unto this day. ²⁷ And Manasseh has not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in that land;" ²⁸ and it comes to pass, when Israel has been strong, that he sets the Canaanite to tribute, and has not utterly dispossessed it. ²⁹ And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer. ³⁰ Zebulun has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, and they become tributary. ³¹ Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Zidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob;" ³² and the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them. ³³ Naphtali has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, and he dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath have become tributary to them. ³⁴ And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not suffered them to go down to the valley;" ³⁵ and the Amorite is desirous to dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and the hand of the house of Joseph is heavy, and they become tributary;" ³⁶ and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.

³ And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their elohims are to you for a snare..

²⁴ And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them--despising them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Yahweh."

²⁸ so that the land shall not vomit you out when you defile it, just as it vomited out the nations which were before you.

²³ You shall not walk by the habitual statutes of the nations which I am casting out from your presence, for they have practiced all these things, and I am irritated with them.

⁶³ So it will come to be, just as Yahweh was elated over you to bring you good and to let you increase, so Yahweh shall be elated over you to destroy you and to exterminate you, so that you will be swept away off the ground where you are entering to tenant it.

²⁸ So Yahweh plucked them up off their ground in anger, in fury and in great wrath, and He flung them into another country as it is this day.

¹⁵ `And it has been, as there has come upon you all the good thing which Yahweh your Elohim has spoken unto you, so does Yahweh bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His destroying you from off this good ground which Yahweh your Elohim has given to you;" ¹⁶ in your transgressing the covenant of Yahweh your Elohim which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other elohims, and bowed yourselves to them, then has the anger of Yahweh burned against you, and you have perished hastily from off the good land which He has given to you..

¹⁷ And He causes to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slays their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and has had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged--the whole He has given into his hand. ¹⁸ And all the vessels of the house of Elohim, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and of his princes--the whole he has brought in to Babylon. ¹⁹ And they burn the house of Elohim, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels--to destruction. ²⁰ And he removes those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,

²⁴ `Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying:Alone has been Abraham--and he possesses the land, and we [are] many--to us has the land been given for a possession." ²⁵ Therefore say unto them:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:With the blood you do eat, And your eyes you lift up unto your idols, And blood you shed, and the land you inherit!" ²⁶ You have stood on your sword, You have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbor you have defiled, And the land you possess!" ²⁷ Thus do you say unto them:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:I live--do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die." ²⁸ And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased has the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through." ²⁹ And they have known that I [am] Yahweh, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done."

²³ Yet woe to those who are pregnant, and to those suckling in those days; for there will be great necessity in the land and indignation on this people." ²⁴ And they shall be falling by the edge of the sword and shall be led into captivity into all nations. And Jerusalem shall be trodden by the nations, until the eras of the nations may be fulfilled."
