THE VICTORY OF YAH NATHAN
And so be it, on a day, Yah Nathan the son of Shaul says to the lad who bears his instruments, Come and we pass over to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy beyond; and he tells not his father: ² and Shaul settles in the extremity of Gibah under a pomegranate tree in Migron: and the people with him are about six hundred men; ³ and Achiy Yah the son of Achiy Tub, the brother of Iy Chabod the son of Pinechas the son of Eli priest of Yah Veh in Shiloh bears an ephod: and the people know not that Yah Nathan is gone: ⁴ and between the passages by which Yah Nathan seeks to pass over to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy, there is a tooth of the rock on the one side and a tooth of the rock on the one side: and the name of the one is Boses/Bleached Linen and the name of the one Seneh/Bush: ⁵ the tooth of the one is pillared northward opposite Michmash and the one southward opposite Gibah. ⁶ And Yah Nathan says to the lad who bears his instruments, Come, and we pass over to the standing camp of these uncircumcised: perhaps Yah Veh works for us: for there is no hindrance to Yah Veh to save by many or by few. ⁷ And his instrument bearer says to him, Work all that is in your heart! Spread! Behold, I am with you according to your heart. ⁸ Then Yah Nathan says, Behold, we pass over to these men and expose ourselves to them: ⁹ if they say thus to us, Hush until we touch you! - then we stand in our place and ascend not to them. ¹⁰ And if they say thus, Ascend to us! - we ascend: for Yah Veh gives them into our hand: and this is our sign. ¹¹ And both of them expose themselves to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy: and the Peleshethiy say, Behold, the Hebrews come from the holes where they hide themselves. ¹² And the men of the station answer Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer, and say, Ascend to us and we have you know a word. And Yah Nathan says to his instrument bearer, Ascend after me: for Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El. ¹³ And Yah Nathan ascends on his hands and on his feet and his instrument bearer after him: and they fall at the face of Yah Nathan; and his instrument bearer after him deathifies: ¹⁴ and the first stroke Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer smite is about twenty men - within as it were a half furrow of an acre of a field. ¹⁵ And they tremble in the camp, in the field, and among all the people: the standing camp and the ruiners also tremble; and the earth quakes - and so be it, a trembling of Elohim: ¹⁶ and the watchers of Shaul in Gibah of Ben Yamin see; and behold, the multitude melts away and they go on - descending and hammering. ¹⁷ And Shaul says to the people with him, Muster now and see who is gone from us. - and they muster, and behold, Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer are not. ¹⁸ And Shaul says to Achiy Yah, Bring near the ark of Elohim. - for that day the ark of Elohim is with the sons of Yisra El. ¹⁹ And so be it, as Shaul words to the priest, that in walking, the multitude in the camp of the Peleshethiy walks on and greatens. And Shaul says to the priest, Gather your hand. ²⁰ And Shaul and all the people with him cry out together; and they come to the war; and behold, the sword of every man is against his friend and there is a mighty great confusion: ²¹ and the Hebrews who were with the Peleshethiy three yesters ago - who ascended with them all around the camp turn around to be with the Yisra Eliy - with Shaul and Yah Nathan: ²² and all the men of Yisra El who hid themselves in mount Ephrayim, hear that the Peleshethiy flee, even they also adhere after them in the war. ²³ So Yah Veh saves Yisra El that day; and the war passes over to Beth Aven: ²⁴ and that day the men of Yisra El exact. And Shaul oaths the people, saying, Cursed is the man who eats bread until evening, and I become avenged on my enemies. - and none of the people taste bread. ²⁵ And all the land comes to a forest; and there is honey on the face of the field: ²⁶ and the people come to the forest, and behold, a flowing of honey; and no man reaches his hand to his mouth: for the people awe the oath. ²⁷ And Yah Nathan heard not his father oath the people with the oath: and he sends forth the end of the rod in his hand and dips it in a forest; and returns his hand to his mouth: and his eyes enlighten. ²⁸ Then a man of the people answers, and says, In oathing, your father oathed the people with an oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food this day: and the people flutter. ²⁹ Then Yah Nathan says, My father troubles the land: see, I beseech you, how my eyes enlighten, because I tasted a little of this honey. ³⁰ and if in eating, the people had eaten today of the spoil of their enemies which they found: because now, is not the stroke greatened among the Peleshethiy? ³¹ And that day they smite the Peleshethiy from Michmash to Ayalon: and the people flutter mightily: ³² and the people work on the spoil and take flock and oxen and sons of oxen and slaughter them on the earth: and the people eat them with the blood. ³³ And they tell Shaul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Yah Veh in that they eat with the blood. And he says, You have concealed: roll a great stone to me this day. ³⁴ And Shaul says, Scatter yourselves among the people and say to them, Bring near me the ox of every man and the lamb of every man and slaughter here and eat: and sin not against Yah Veh in eating with the blood. And that night all the people bring near the ox of every man in his hand and slaughters there: ³⁵ and Shaul builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh: and he begins to build a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh. ³⁶ And Shaul says, We descend after the Peleshethiy by night and plunder them until the morning light that not a man of them survives. And they say, Work whatever seems good in your eyes. And the priest says, Approach hither to Elohim. ³⁷ And Shaul asks counsel of Elohim, Descend I after the Peleshethiy? Give you them into the hand of Yisra El? - and he answers him not that day. ³⁸ And Shaul says, Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people: and know and see wherein this sin becomes this day. ³⁹ For, Yah Veh lives, who saves Yisra El, though it be in Yah Nathan my son, in dying, he dies. - and not a man among all the people answers him. ⁴⁰ Then he says to all Yisra El, You - you are on one side and I and Yah Nathan my son are on one side. And the people say to Shaul, Work what seems good in your eyes. ⁴¹ And Shaul says to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Show integrity. And they capture Shaul and Yah Nathan: and the people go. ⁴² And Shaul says, Fell between me and Yah Nathan my son. And they capture Yah Nathan. ⁴³ Then Shaul says to Yah Nathan, Tell me what you worked. And Yah Nathan tells him and says, In tasting, I tasted a little honey with the end of the rod in my hand; behold, I die. ⁴⁴ And Shaul says, Elohim works thus and adds also: for in dying, you die, Yah Nathan. ⁴⁵ And the people say to Shaul, Yah Nathan - who worked this great salvation in Yisra El - die? Far be it: Yah Veh lives, not one hair of his head falls to the earth; for he worked with Elohim this day. - and the people redeem Yah Nathan, that he not die. ⁴⁶ Then Shaul ascends from after the Peleshethiy: and the Peleshethiy go to their own place: ⁴⁷ and Shaul captures the sovereigndom over Yisra El and fights all his enemies all around - against Moab and against the sons of Ammon and against Edom and against the sovereigns of Sobah and against the Peleshethiy: and wherever he turns his face, he deals wickedly: ⁴⁸ and he works valour and smites the Amaleq; and rescues Yisra El from the hands of their plunderers. ⁴⁹ And the sons of Shaul: Yah Nathan and Yishvi and Malki Shua; and the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstbirthed Merab, and the name of the younger Michal; ⁵⁰ and the name of the woman of Shaul: Achiy Noam the daughter of Achiy Maas; and the name of the governor of his host: Abi Ner the son of Ner the uncle of Shaul; ⁵¹ and Qish is the father of Shaul: and Ner the father of Abi Ner is the son of Abi El. ⁵² And there is tough war against the Peleshethiy all the days of Shaul: and when Shaul sees any mighty man or any son of valour, he gathers him to him.

²⁷ And Gidon takes ten men of his servants and works as Yah Veh words to him: and so be it, because he awes the household of his father and the men of the city, he cannot work it by day so he works it by night.

⁶ and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers over him; and he cleaves him as he cleaves a kid with naught in his hand: but he tells not his father or his mother what he worked.

² Shaul chooses three thousand of Yisra El for himself: whereof two thousand are with Shaul in Michmash and in mount Beth El; and a thousand are with Yah Nathan in Gibah of Ben Yamin: and of the rest of the people he sends each man to his tent.

²² And so be it, in the day of war, they find neither sword nor spear in the hand of any of the people with Shaul and Yah Nathan: but with Shaul and with Yah Nathan his son, they find:

³⁹ For, Yah Veh lives, who saves Yisra El, though it be in Yah Nathan my son, in dying, he dies. - and not a man among all the people answers him. ⁴⁰ Then he says to all Yisra El, You - you are on one side and I and Yah Nathan my son are on one side. And the people say to Shaul, Work what seems good in your eyes. ⁴¹ And Shaul says to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Show integrity. And they capture Shaul and Yah Nathan: and the people go. ⁴² And Shaul says, Fell between me and Yah Nathan my son. And they capture Yah Nathan. ⁴³ Then Shaul says to Yah Nathan, Tell me what you worked. And Yah Nathan tells him and says, In tasting, I tasted a little honey with the end of the rod in my hand; behold, I die. ⁴⁴ And Shaul says, Elohim works thus and adds also: for in dying, you die, Yah Nathan. ⁴⁵ And the people say to Shaul, Yah Nathan - who worked this great salvation in Yisra El - die? Far be it: Yah Veh lives, not one hair of his head falls to the earth; for he worked with Elohim this day. - and the people redeem Yah Nathan, that he not die.

DAVID AND YAH NATHAN
And so be it, he finishes wording to Shaul, and the soul of Yah Nathan binds with the soul of David; and Yah Nathan loves him as his own soul. ² And Shaul takes him that day and gives him to not return to the house of his father. ³ And Yah Nathan and David cut a covenant because he loves him as his own soul: ⁴ and Yah Nathan strips himself of the mantle on him and of his uniform even to his sword and to his bow and to his girdle and gives it to David.

¹⁹ And she says to her lads, Pass over at my face; behold, I come after you. - and she tells not her man Nabal.

⁴ And David says to him, How goes the word? I beseech you, tell me. And he says, The people flee the war and also an abundance of the people fall and die; and Shaul and Yah Nathan his son also die. ⁵ And David says to the lad who tells him, How know you that Shaul and Yah Nathan his son die?

²⁵ How the mighty fall midst the war! O Yah Nathan, you - pierced in your bamahs. ²⁶ I distress for you, my brother Yah Nathan: mighty pleasing are you to me: marvellous your love to me surpassing the love of women.

⁵ Neither trust in a friend nor confide in a chiliarch: guard the opening of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom:

¹⁵ And Shemu El rises and ascends from Gilgal to Gibah of Ben Yamin. And Shaul musters the people found with him - about six hundred men: ¹⁶ and Shaul and Yah Nathan his son and the people found with them settle in Gibah of Ben Yamin: and the Peleshethiy encamp in Michmash.

²⁸ He comes to Ayath; he passes to Migron; he musters his instruments at Michmash: ²⁹ they pass over the passage: they take up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembles; Gibah of Shaul flees.

²⁶ and work two signets of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate in the edge over against the ephod housing: ²⁷ and work two signets of gold and give them on the two shoulders of the ephod downward - at the face of the front along side the joint above the fabricated girdle of the ephod. ²⁸ And they bind the breastplate by its signets to the signets of the ephod with a braid of blue, so that it be above the fabricated girdle of the ephod and so that the breastplate be not removed from the ephod. ²⁹ And Aharon bears the names of the sons of Yisra El in the breastplate of judgment on his heart when he goes in to the holies for a memorial at the face of Yah Veh continually. ³⁰ And you give in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they be on the heart of Aharon, when he goes in at the face of Yah Veh: and Aharon bears the judgment of the sons of Yisra El on his heart at the face of Yah Veh continually. ³¹
PATTERN FOR THE EPHOD MANTLE
And work the mantle of the ephod totally of blue. ³² And a mouth be in the top, in the middle: with an edging of woven work all around its mouth - as the mouth of a habergeon, so that it not rip.

²⁸ And of all the scions of Yisra El choose I him to be my priest? - to holocaust on my sacrifice altar? To incense incense? - to bear an ephod at my face? - to give the house of your father all the firings of the sons of Yisra El?

²¹ and she calls the lad Iy Chabod, saying, The honor is exiled from Yisra El! - because they took the ark of Elohim and because of her father in law and her man.

⁹ And Doeg the Edomiy who is stationed over the servants of Shaul answers and says, I saw the son of Yishay coming to Nob - to Achiy Melech the son of Achiy Tub: ¹⁰ and he asked of Yah Veh for him; and gave him hunt and gave him the sword of Golyath the Peleshethiy. ¹¹ Then the sovereign sends to call Achiy Melech the priest the son of Achiy Tub and all the house of his father - the priests in Nob: and they all come to the sovereign. ¹² And Shaul says, Hear now, you son of Achiy Tub. And he says, Here, I, my adoni.

²⁰ And one of the sons of Achiy Melech the son of Achiy Tub, named Abi Athar, escapes and flees after David:

²³ and the standing camp of the Peleshethiy go out to the passage of Michmash.

⁷ and I raise my covenant between me and between you and your seed after you in their generations for an eternal covenant, to become Elohim to you and to your seed after you: ⁸ and I give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojournings - all the land of Kenaan for an eternal possession; and I become their Elohim.
COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION
⁹ And Elohim says to Abraham, Guard my covenant - you and your seed after you in their generations: ¹⁰ this is my covenant to guard between me and between you and between your seed after you; circumcise every male among you: ¹¹ and clip the flesh of your foreskin; and it becomes a sign of the covenant between me and between you:

³⁰ How pursues one a thousand and two that a myriad flee - unless their Rock sold them and Yah Veh shut them up?

⁴ And Yah Veh says to Gidon, The people are still many; bring them down to the water and there I refine them for you: and so be it, of whom I say to you, This goes with you, the same goes with you; and of whomever I say to you, This goes not with you, the same goes not. ⁵ So he brings the people to the water: and Yah Veh says to Gidon, Every one who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, set him by himself; likewise every one who bows on his knees to drink: ⁶ - and the number who lap their hand to their mouth is three hundred men: and all the rest of the people bow on their knees to drink water. ⁷ And Yah Veh says to Gidon, By the three hundred men who lap, I save you; and give the Midyaniy into your hand: and all the other people go - each man to his place.

¹⁸ And he is mighty thirsty and calls on Yah Veh and says, You give this great salvation into the hand of your servant! And now, die I for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

²⁶ And David says to the men who stand by him, saying, What work you to the man who smites this Peleshethiy and turns aside the reproach from Yisra El? Who is this uncircumcised Peleshethiy, to reproach the ranks of the living Elohim?

³⁶ your servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Peleshethiy becomes as one of them, seeing he reproaches the ranks of the living Elohim.

²⁰ Neither tell in Gath, nor evangelize in the outskirts of Ashqelon; lest the daughters of the Peleshethiy cheer, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised jump for joy.

¹² Perhaps Yah Veh sees my humiliation and Yah Veh returns me good for his abasing this day.

⁴ perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears all the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler whom his adoni the sovereign of Ashshur sends to reproach the living Elohim; and reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and lift a prayer for the survivors that are found.

¹¹ And Asa calls to Yah Veh his Elohim and says, Yah Veh, it is naught with you to help - between many, or them who have no force: help us, O Yah Veh our Elohim; for we lean on you; and in your name we go against this multitude. O Yah Veh, you are our Elohim; may mortal man not restrain against you.

¹ Not to us, O Yah Veh, not to us, but unto your name give honor; for your mercy; for your truth. ² Why say the goyim, Where I beseech, is their Elohim? ³ Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires.

²³ Thus says Yah Veh, O that the wise not halal in his wisdom - the mighty not halal in his might; the rich not halal in his riches:

²⁶ - Misrayim and Yah Hudah and Edom and the sons of Ammon and Moab and all who chop the edges - who settle in the wilderness: for all these goyim are uncircumcised, and all the house of Yisra El are uncircumcised in the heart.

¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good and set judgment in the portal: perhaps Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth grants charism to the survivors of Yoseph.

³ Seek Yah Veh, all you humble of the earth, who do his judgment: seek justness; seek humility: perhaps you are hidden in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh.

⁶ And he answers and says to me, saying, This is the word of Yah Veh to Zerub Babel, saying, Neither by valour nor by force; but by my spirit, says Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²⁶ But Yah Shua looks, and says, With humanity this is impossible; but with Elohim all are possible.

³¹
NINE QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND RHETORICAL
So what say we to these? If Elohim is for us, who is against us?

¹¹
SHALOM THROUGH THE BLOOD OF MESSIAH
So remember that you, ever goyim in the flesh, who are worded, Uncircumcision by those worded, Circumcision - in the flesh - handmade; ¹² that at that season you, being apart from Messiah, being alienated from the citizenship of Yisra El; strangers from the covenants of the pre-evangelism having no hope and atheist in the cosmos:

³ for we are the circumcision, who liturgize Elohim in spirit and boast in Messiah Yah Shua and have no confidence in flesh.

⁷ And so be it, when these signs come to you, work as your hand finds; for Elohim is with you:

³ And Nathan says to the sovereign, Go, work all that is in your heart; for Yah Veh is with you.

⁷ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; the Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah.

²³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: In those days, so be it, ten men from all tongues of the goyim, take hold - even take hold of the wing of a man - a Yah Hudiy, saying, We go with you: for we hear that Elohim is with you.

⁹ And so be it, that same night, Yah Veh says to him, Rise! Descend to the camp! For I give it into your hand: ¹⁰ and if you awe to descend, descend with Purah your lad to the camp: ¹¹ and hear what they word; and afterward strengthen your hands to descend to the camp. And he descends with Purah his lad to the edge of the armed men in the camp: ¹² and the Midyaniy and the Amaleqiy and all the sons of the east fall in the valley - as locusts for abundance; and their camels without number - as the sand by the sea lip for abundance. ¹³ And Gidon comes, and behold, a man scribing a dream to his friend; and says, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread overturns in the camp of Midyaniy and comes to a tent and smites it so that it falls - overturns it upward, so that the tent falls. ¹⁴ And his friend answers and says, This is none other except the sword of Gidon the son of Yah Ash - a man of Yisra El: Elohim gives Midyaniy and all the camp into his hand.

¹³ behold, I station myself by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come to bail water: ¹⁴ and so be it, that the lass to whom I say, Spread your pitcher, I pray you, Give me drink; and she says, Drink and I also give your camels drink - that you approve her for your servant Yischaq; and thereby I know that you work mercy to my adoni.

³⁶
GIDON AND THE SHEARING
And Gidon says to Elohim, If you save Yisra El by my hand, as you worded, ³⁷ behold, I place a shearing of wool in the threshingfloor; and if the dew is on the shearing only, and parched on all the earth - then I know you save Yisra El by my hand as you worded. ³⁸ And so be it, he starts early on the morrow, and squeezes the shearing together and wrings the dew from the shearing - a bason full of water. ³⁹ And Gidon says to Elohim, Kindle not your wrath against me and I word but this one time: I test, I beseech you, but this one time with the shearing; parch it only, on the shearing and on all the earth be dew. ⁴⁰ And that night, Elohim works thus: for there is parch on the shearing only, and there is dew on all the earth.

¹⁴ and so be it, that the lass to whom I say, Spread your pitcher, I pray you, Give me drink; and she says, Drink and I also give your camels drink - that you approve her for your servant Yischaq; and thereby I know that you work mercy to my adoni.

³⁶
GIDON AND THE SHEARING
And Gidon says to Elohim, If you save Yisra El by my hand, as you worded,

¹¹ and hear what they word; and afterward strengthen your hands to descend to the camp. And he descends with Purah his lad to the edge of the armed men in the camp:

¹¹ You, ask a sign of Yah Veh your Elohim; ask, either deep, or high above. ¹² And Ach Az says, I neither ask nor test Yah Veh. ¹³ And he says, Hear now, O house of David; Is it petty for you to weary men? And also weary my Elohim? ¹⁴ So Adonay himself gives you a sign: Behold, a virgin conceives and births a son and calls his name Immanu El:

² and the hand of Midyan prevails against Yisra El: and at the face of the Midyaniy the sons of Yisra El work themselves caverns in the mountains and caves and huntholds.

⁶ And the men of Yisra El see they are tribulated - that the people are exacted - and the people hide themselves in caves and in crevices and in rocks and in towers and in wells:

²² and all the men of Yisra El who hid themselves in mount Ephrayim, hear that the Peleshethiy flee, even they also adhere after them in the war.

²⁶ And the man bows and prostrates to Yah Veh: ²⁷ and he says, Blessed be Yah Veh Elohim of my adoni Abraham, who forsakes not my adoni of his mercy and his truth: I - in the way, Yah Veh leads me to the house of the brothers of my adoni.

⁴² And I come this day to the fountain and say, O Yah Veh Elohim of my adoni Abraham, if now you prosper the way I go:

⁴⁸ and I bow and prostrate to Yah Veh and bless Yah Veh Elohim of my adoni Abraham, who led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of the brother of my adoni to his son.

¹⁴ And Deborah says to Baraq, Rise! For this is the day Yah Veh gives Sisera into your hand: Goes not Yah Veh at your face? - and Baraq descends from mount Tabor with ten thousand men after him.

¹⁵ And so be it, Gidon hears the renumerating of the dream and the breaking forth thereof, and he prostrates and returns to the camp of Yisra El, and says, Rise! For Yah Veh gives the camp of Midyaniy into your hand:

¹⁰ And if they say thus, Ascend to us! - we ascend: for Yah Veh gives them into our hand: and this is our sign.

⁴³ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with staves? - and the Peleshethiy belittles David by his elohim. ⁴⁴ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Come to me and I give your flesh to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the field.

¹⁴ And Abi Ner says to Yah Ab, Have the lads now rise and entertain at our face. And Yah Ab says, Rise. ¹⁵ And they rise and pass over by number twelve of Ben Yamin of Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul and twelve of the servants of David: ¹⁶ each man holds his friend by the head and his sword in the side of his friend; and they fall together: and they call that place Helgath Hats Surim - in Gibon. ¹⁷ And there is a mighty hard war that day; and Abi Ner and the men of Yisra El are smitten at the face of the servants of David.

²⁴ and so be it, when you hear the voice of marching in the tops of the weepers, then you point: for then Yah Veh goes at your face, to smite the camp of the Peleshethiy.

⁸ Then Amaz Yah sends angels to Yah Ash son of Yah Achaz son of Yah Hu sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Come! See one another in the face!

⁷ And you pursue your enemies and they fall by the sword at your face: ⁸ and five of you pursue a hundred and a hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies fall by the sword at your face.

⁷ Yah Veh gives your enemies who rise against you - smitten at your face: they come against you one way and flee your face seven ways.

¹⁰ One man of you pursues a thousand: for Yah Veh your Elohim fights for you as he worded to you.

²⁹ For by you, I run a troop; and by Elohim I leap a wall.

³⁴ quenched the dynamis of fire, fled the edge of the sword, from frailty were empowered, became mighty in war, put down the encampments of others,

⁵ and they pull stakes: and the terror of Elohim on the cities surrounding them; and they pursue not after the sons of Yaaqov.

¹⁸ and mount Sinay totally fumes: for the face of Yah Veh descends on it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascends as the smoke of a furnace and the whole mount trembles mightily.

³⁶ And on those who survive, I send a timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the voice of a driven leaf pursues them; and they flee as retreating from a sword; and they fall when none pursues: ³⁷ and they falter - man to brother as at the face of a sword when none pursues: and you have no resistance at the face of your enemies:

⁹ and says to the men, I know Yah Veh gives you the land and that your terror befalls us; and that all the settlers of the land melt at your face:

²¹ And every man stands in his place all around the camp; and all the camp runs and shouts and flees:

¹⁷ And ruiners go from the camp of the Peleshethiy in three heads: one head turns to face the way to Ophrah to the land of Shual:

⁶ for Adonay has the camp of the Aramiy hear a voice of chariots and a voice of horses - the voice of a great valiant. And they say man to brother, Behold, the sovereign of Yisra El hires against us the sovereigns of the Hethiy and the sovereigns of the Misrayim to come against us. ⁷ And they rise and flee in the evening breeze and leave their tents and the camp as it is and their horses and their he burros - and flee for their soul:

¹¹ Terrors frighten him all around and scatter him to his feet;

⁵ In dreading, they dread; for Elohim is in the generation of the just.

⁶ then the cheerfulness of the sovereign changes and his intentions terrify him - so that the vertebrae of his loins release, and his knees knock one against another.

⁶ and you are about to hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you not lament: for all these must become; but the completion/shalom is not yet.

⁵⁰ And again Yah Shua cries with a mega voice and releases his spirit. ⁵¹
MATERIAL AND PHYSICAL REACTIONS
And behold, the veil of the nave splits in two from above to downward; and the earth quakes and the rocks split

²² and the three hundred blast the shophars and Yah Veh sets the sword of every man against his friend throughout all the camp: and the camp flees to Beth Has Shittah in Seredah to the lip of Abel Mecholah - to Tabbath.

²⁰ And Shaul and all the people with him cry out together; and they come to the war; and behold, the sword of every man is against his friend and there is a mighty great confusion:

²² And at the time they begin to shout and to halal Yah Veh lurks against the sons of Ammon, Moab and mount Seir, who come against Yah Hudah; and they smite one another: ²³ and the sons of Ammon and Moab stand against the settlers of mount Seir to devote and desolate them: and they finish off the settlers of Seir, and each man helps to ruin his friend. ²⁴ And Yah Hudah comes to Mispeh in the wilderness, and they face the multitude, and behold, their carcases fallen to the earth; and none escape. ²⁵ And Yah Shaphat and his people come to plunder the spoil; and among the carcases, they find in abundance, both acquisitions and desirable instruments which they strip for themselves, without burden: and for three days they plunder the spoil - it is so much:

⁷ dissipate them as waters which pass continually; he aims his arrows as though they are cut off:

² As smoke disperses, driven away; as wax melts at the face of the fire; the wicked destruct at the face of Elohim:

² and I hedge the Misrayim against the Misrayim: and every man fights against his brother and every one against his friend; - city against city and sovereigndom against sovereigndom:

²¹ and stand him at the face of El Azar the priest to ask for him after the judgment of Urim at the face of Yah Veh: at his mouth they go out and at his mouth they come in - both he and all the sons of Yisra El with him - even all the witness.

¹⁸ And the sons of Yisra El rise and ascend to the house of Elohim and ask counsel of Elohim, and say, Who of us goes to war at the beginning against the sons of Ben Yamin? And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah, at the beginning.

²³ And the sons of Yisra El ascend and weep at the face of Yah Veh until evening; and ask counsel of Yah Veh, saying, Add I to approach to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? And Yah Veh says, Ascend against him.

²⁷ And the sons of Yisra El ask of Yah Veh - for the ark of the covenant of Elohim is there in those days; ²⁸ and Pinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon stands at the face of it in those days, saying, Go I yet again to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? Or cease? And Yah Veh says, Ascend; for tomorrow I give them into your hand.

³ and when the people come into the camp the elders of Yisra El say, Yah Veh - why smites he us today at the face of the Peleshethiy? Let us take the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh from Shiloh to us; to come among us and save us from the palm of our enemies. ⁴ So the people send to Shiloh, and from there bear the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh Sabaoth which settles between the cherubim: and Hophni and Pinechas the two sons of Eli are there with the ark of the covenant of Elohim: ⁵ and when the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh comes into the camp, all Yisra El shouts a great shout so that the earth quakes.

² and the Peleshethiy take the ark of Elohim and bring it into the house of Dagon and set it beside Dagon.

¹ And the men of Qiryath Arim come and ascend the ark of Yah Veh and bring it into the house of Abi Nadab in Gibah; and hallow El Azar his son to guard the ark of Yah Veh.

⁷ and David says to Abi Athar the priest the son of Achiy Melech, I beseech you, bring near the ephod. - and Abi Athar brings near the ephod to David. ⁸ And David asks at Yah Veh, saying, Pursue I after this troop? Overtake them? And he says to him, Pursue! In overtaking, overtake! And in rescuing, rescue!

¹¹ And Uri Yah says to David, The ark and Yisra El and Yah Hudah settle in sukkoth/brush arbors; and my adoni Yah Ab and the servants of my adoni encamp on the face of the fields: and I - go I to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie down with my woman? As you live and as your soul lives, I work no such word.

²⁴ And behold, Sadoq also, and all the Leviym with him bearing the ark of the covenant of Elohim: and they firm the ark of Elohim; and Abi Athar ascends, until all the people consummate passing from the city. ²⁵ And the sovereign says to Sadoq, Turn back the ark of Elohim into the city: if I find charism in the eyes of Yah Veh he turns me back and has me see it and his habitation of rest: ²⁶ and if he says thus: I delight not in you! Behold, I - may he work to me as seems good in his eyes.

¹⁴ And the men take of their hunt, and ask not at the mouth of Yah Veh:

¹¹ And Shemu El says, What worked you? And Shaul says, Because I see the people scatter from me and you come not within the season of days and the Peleshethiy gather at Michmash:

²⁴ and that day the men of Yisra El exact. And Shaul oaths the people, saying, Cursed is the man who eats bread until evening, and I become avenged on my enemies. - and none of the people taste bread.

¹³ they hastened to forget his works; they awaited not his counsel:

¹⁶ So Adonay Yah Veh says thus, Behold, I lay a stone in Siyon for a foundation - a proofed stone; an esteemed corner; a founded foundation: he who trusts, hastens not.

¹⁶ and the watchers of Shaul in Gibah of Ben Yamin see; and behold, the multitude melts away and they go on - descending and hammering.

²³ and the sons of Ammon and Moab stand against the settlers of mount Seir to devote and desolate them: and they finish off the settlers of Seir, and each man helps to ruin his friend.

¹⁹ Through the wrath of Yah Veh Sabaoth the land burns, and the people are as the fuel of the fire: no man spares his brother. ²⁰ And on the right, he cuts and famishes; and on the left, he eats and satiates not: every man eats the flesh of his own arm ²¹ - Menash Sheh, Ephrayim; and Ephrayim, Menash Sheh: and together they are against Yah Hudah. For all this he turns not away his wrath, and still spreads his hand.

²³ And the men of Yisra El - of Naphtali and of Asher and of all Menash Sheh cry out and pursue after the Midyaniy.

⁴ And the governors of the Peleshethiy rage against him; and the governors of the Peleshethiy say to him, Return this man - return him to the place you oversee for him that he not descend with us to war; lest in the war he becomes a satan to us. How satisfies he his adoni? Is it not with the heads of these men?

⁷ And the men of Yisra El beyond the valley and beyond Yarden see the men of Yisra El flee, and Shaul and his sons die, they forsake their cities and flee; and the Peleshethiy come and settle in them.

³⁰ and that day, Yah Veh saves Israel from the hand of the Misrayim; and Yisra El sees the Misrayim die on the sea edge:

¹⁸ And Yah Veh raises them judges, and Yah Veh is with the judge and saves them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for Yah Veh sighs because of their groanings at the face of their oppressors; and oppresses them.

⁵ and the Peleshethiy gather to fight Yisra El - thirty thousand chariots and six thousand cavalry - people as the sand on the sea lip in abundance: and they ascend and encamp in Michmash eastward from Beth Aven.

²⁷ And Yah Veh words not to wipe out the name of Yisra El from under the heavens: but he saves them by the hand of Yarob Am the son of Yah Ash.

⁶ For I confide neither in my bow, nor my sword to save me. ⁷ For you saved us from our tribulators and shamed them who hate us. ⁸ In Elohim we halal all the day long - halal your name eternally. Selah.

⁷ and I mercy the house of Yah Hudah, and save them by Yah Veh their Elohim; and save them not by bow, or by sword, or by war, by horses, or by cavalry.

²⁹ Naught devoted - devoted by humanity, is redeemed: but in deathifying, is deathified.

² And Yisra El vows a vow to Yah Veh and says, If in giving, you give this people into my hand, then I devote their cities.

¹⁵ Cursed is the man who works any sculptile or molten - an abhorrence to Yah Veh the work of the hands of the engraver, and puts it in a hideout. And all the people answer, and say, Amen! ¹⁶ Cursed he who is abased by his father or his mother. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁷ Cursed he who removes the border of his friend. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁸ Cursed he who causes the blind to err inadvertently from the way. - and all the people say, Amen. ¹⁹ Cursed he who deviates the judgment of the sojourner, orphan and widow. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁰ Cursed he who lies with the woman of his father; because he exposes the border of his father. - and all the people say, Amen. ²¹ Cursed he who lies with any animal. - and all the people say, Amen. ²² Cursed he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother. - and all the people say, Amen. ²³ Cursed he who lies with his in law. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁴ Cursed he who covertly smites his friend. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁵ Cursed he who takes a bribe to smite an innocent soul. - and all the people say, Amen. ²⁶ Cursed he who raises not all the words of this torah to work them. - and all the people say, Amen.

¹⁷ And the city becomes devoted to Yah Veh - it and all therein: only, Rachab the whore lives - she and all with her in the house, because she hid the angels we sent. ¹⁸ And you, be on guard of the devoted, lest you become devoted when you take of the devotement; and set the camp of Yisra El a devotement, and trouble it. ¹⁹ But all the silver and gold and instruments of copper and iron, are holy to Yah Veh: they come into the treasury of Yah Veh.

²⁶ And Yah Shua oathed them at that time, saying, Cursed from the face of Yah Veh be the man who rises and builds this city Yericho: he lays his firstbirthed in the foundation thereof, and in his lesser, he stations the doors.

²⁸ and so be it, when Yisra El strengthens, they set the Kenaaniy to vassal and in dispossessing, dispossess them not.

² Bless Yah Veh for leading the leaders of Yisra El, for a people volunteering themselves.

³⁰
THE VOW OF JUDGE YIPHTACH
And Yiphtach vows a vow to Yah Veh and says, If in giving you give the sons of Ammon into my hands, ³¹ then so be it, whatever comes from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in shalom from the sons of Ammon becomes to Yah Veh; and I holocaust it for a holocaust.

¹
THE OVERLOOKED SCION OF YISRA EL
And the men of Yisra El oath in Mispeh, saying, No man of us gives his daughter to Ben Yamin to woman. ² And the people come to the house of Elohim and settle there until evening at the face of Elohim and lift their voices and weep a great weeping; ³ and say, O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, why becomes this in Yisra El, that today one scion is overlooked in Yisra El? ⁴ And so be it, on the morrow, the people start early and build there a sacrifice altar and holocaust holocausts and shelamim. ⁵ And the sons of Yisra El say, Who among all the scions of Yisra El ascends not with the congregation to Yah Veh? For a great oath became concerning him who ascends not to Yah Veh to Mispeh, saying, In deathifying, deathify him.

²⁷ And Yah Nathan heard not his father oath the people with the oath: and he sends forth the end of the rod in his hand and dips it in a forest; and returns his hand to his mouth: and his eyes enlighten. ²⁸ Then a man of the people answers, and says, In oathing, your father oathed the people with an oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food this day: and the people flutter. ²⁹ Then Yah Nathan says, My father troubles the land: see, I beseech you, how my eyes enlighten, because I tasted a little of this honey. ³⁰ and if in eating, the people had eaten today of the spoil of their enemies which they found: because now, is not the stroke greatened among the Peleshethiy?

⁴⁷ El gives me vengeance - subdues all the people under me.

⁹ A profaner, with his mouth, ruins his friend; and through knowledge the just are rescued.

² For I witness that they have a zeal of Elohim - but not according to knowledge:

²² If anyone befriends not Adonay Yah Shua Messiah, have him be anathema. Maranatha!

⁸ and I descend to deliver them from the hand of the Misrayim - ascend them from that land to a good and broad land to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy;

²⁷ And they describe to him and say, We went to the land you sent us and surely it flows with milk and honey and this is the fruit thereof:

²⁸ lest the land whence you brought us out says, Because Yah Veh was not able to bring them into the land he worded them: and because of his hatred, he brought them out to deathify them in the wilderness.

⁴ And this Yahn has his enduement of camel hair and a leather girdle around his loins; and his nourishment is locusts and wild honey: ⁵ Then Yeru Shalem and all Yah Hudah and all the region all around Yarden proceed to him;

² All in all; one happening: to the just and to the wicked; to the good and to the pure and to the foul; to him who sacrifices and to him who sacrifices not; as the good, thus the sinner; he who oaths, as he who awes an oath.

²⁹ Then Yah Nathan says, My father troubles the land: see, I beseech you, how my eyes enlighten, because I tasted a little of this honey.

⁴³ Then Shaul says to Yah Nathan, Tell me what you worked. And Yah Nathan tells him and says, In tasting, I tasted a little honey with the end of the rod in my hand; behold, I die.

¹² and they give him a slice of a lump of figs and two raisincakes: and he eats, and his spirit returns to him: for he had neither eaten bread nor drank water three days and three nights.

²⁶ The just tottering at the face of the wicked is as an agitated fountain and a ruined fountain.

²⁵ And Yah Shua says, Why trouble you us? Yah Veh troubles you this day. And all Yisra El stones him with stones, and burns them with fire after they stone them with stones.

¹⁸ And he says, Not I who troubles Yisra El: but you and the house of your father in that you forsake the misvoth of Yah Veh and walk after Baalim:

¹⁸ Better wisdom than instruments of war; one sinner destroys abounding good.

¹² Yah Shua words to Yah Veh in the day Yah Veh gives the Emoriy at the face of the sons of Yisra El: and he says in the eyes of Yisra El, Sun, stand still on Gibon! and, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon!

⁴² and Shaalbim and Ayalon and Yithlah

⁴ Only flesh with the soul, which is the blood, eat not.

¹⁷ - an eternal statute for your generations throughout all your settlements, that you eat neither fat nor blood.

²⁶ And eat no blood in any of your settlements - whether it be of flyer or of animal: ²⁷ any soul who eats whole blood, even that soul, becomes cut off from his people.

¹⁰ and a man - any man of the house of Yisra El or of the sojourners sojourning among you who eats any manner of blood - I give my face against that soul who eats blood and cut him off from among his people. ¹¹
THE SOUL OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD
For the soul of the flesh is in the blood: and I give it to you on the sacrifice altar to kapar/atone for your souls: for the blood kapars/atones for the soul. ¹² So I say to the sons of Yisra El, that neither any soul of you eats blood, nor any sojourner sojourning among you eats blood: ¹³ and a man - any man of the sons of Yisra El or of the sojourners sojourning among you who hunts to hunt any live being or flyer to eat; to pour out the blood thereof and cover it with dust. ¹⁴ For it is the soul of all flesh - its blood is for its soul: I say to the sons of Yisra El, Eat no blood of any flesh; for the soul of all flesh is its blood: and whoever eats is cut off.

²⁶ Eat naught with the blood. Neither prognosticate nor observe times.

¹⁶ Only, eat not the blood; pour it on the earth as water.

²³ Only, prevail that you not eat the blood: for the blood is the soul; and eat not the soul with the flesh. ²⁴ Eat not! Pour it on the earth as water.

¹⁹ And why hearken you not to the voice of Yah Veh, but swoop on the spoil and work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh?

²⁵ Why say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: You eat with the blood and lift your eyes toward your idols and pour blood! Possess you the land?

²⁰ but that we epistolize them to abstain from pollutions of idols and from whoredom and from strangled and from blood.

²⁹ that you abstain from idol sacrifices and from blood and from strangled and from whoredom; from which, keeping yourselves, you transact well. Fare you well!

⁵ You hypocrite! First eject the beam from your own eye; and then you see clearly to eject the twig from the eye of your brother.

¹
THE JUST JUDGMENT
So you are inexcusable, O humanity - all who judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge transact the same.

⁴ And so be it, on the morrow, the people start early and build there a sacrifice altar and holocaust holocausts and shelamim.

⁹ And Shemu El takes one milking lamb and holocausts a holocaust totally to Yah Veh: and Shemu El cries to Yah Veh for Yisra El; and Yah Veh answers him.

¹² And Shemu El takes one stone and sets it between Mispeh and Shen and calls the name of it Eben Ezer, saying, Hitherto Yah Veh helps us.

¹⁷ and he returns to Ramah; for his house is there: and there he judges Yisra El; and there he builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh.

¹⁴ And Yisra El forgets his Worker and builds manses and Yah Hudah abounds fortified cities: and I send a fire on his cities and it consumes the citadels.

⁵ having a form of reverence but denying the dynamis thereof; - from such turn away.

⁹ And Yah Shua comes to them suddenly and ascends from Gilgal all night: ¹⁰ and Yah Veh agitates them at the face of Yisra El and smites them with a great stroke at Gibon; and pursues them along the way of the ascent of Beth Horon and smites them to Azeqah and to Maqqedah. ¹¹ And so be it, as they flee the face of Yisra El and are in the descent of Beth Horon, Yah Veh casts great stones from the heavens on them to Azeqah, and they die: and they who died with hailstones are greater than they whom the sons of Yisra El slaughtered with the sword. ¹² Yah Shua words to Yah Veh in the day Yah Veh gives the Emoriy at the face of the sons of Yisra El: and he says in the eyes of Yisra El, Sun, stand still on Gibon! and, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon! ¹³ And the sun stands still and the moon stays until the goyim avenge themselves on their enemies. Is not this inscribed in the scroll of the straight? So the sun stands still midst the heavens, and hastens to not go down about an integrious day. ¹⁴ And there became no day like that at the face of it or after it, that Yah Veh hearkened to the voice of a man: for Yah Veh fights for Yisra El.

¹⁹ and you stay not; but pursue your enemies and curtail them; give them not to enter into their cities: for Yah Veh your Elohim gives them into your hand.

¹⁴ and the sons of Yisra El plunder all the spoil of these cities and the animals to themselves; only, they smite every human with the mouth of the sword until they desolate: they leave no survivor having breath.

¹¹ And so be it, on the morrow, Shaul sets the people in three heads; and they come midst the camp in the morning watch and smite the Ammoniy until the heat of the day: and so be it, they who survive scatter, so that no two of them survive together.

³ and Achiy Yah the son of Achiy Tub, the brother of Iy Chabod the son of Pinechas the son of Eli priest of Yah Veh in Shiloh bears an ephod: and the people know not that Yah Nathan is gone:

¹⁸ And Shaul says to Achiy Yah, Bring near the ark of Elohim. - for that day the ark of Elohim is with the sons of Yisra El. ¹⁹ And so be it, as Shaul words to the priest, that in walking, the multitude in the camp of the Peleshethiy walks on and greatens. And Shaul says to the priest, Gather your hand.

²⁸ and it is good for me to draw near to Elohim; I put my refuge in Adonay Yah Veh, so that I scribe all your works.

¹
THE HARDNESS OF YISRA EL
Hear this, O house of Yaaqov - called by the name of Yisra El coming from the waters of Yah Hudah; who oaths by the name of Yah Veh and memorializes Elohim of Yisra El - neither in truth, nor in justness. ² For they call themselves of the holy city, and prop themselves on Elohim of Yisra El; Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name.

² Yet they seek me day by day and delight to know my ways - as a goyim who works justness and forsakes not the judgment of their Elohim: they ask me of the judgments of justness; they take delight in approaching Elohim.

⁵ Rise! We ascend by night and ruin her citadels.

⁷ For the lips of the priest guard knowledge and they seek the torah at his mouth: for he is the angel of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

⁸ approach Elohim and he approaches you; purify your hands, sinners; and hallow your hearts, double souled;

¹
YISRA EL CAPTURES KENAAN
And so be it, after the death of Yah Shua, the sons of Yisra El ask Yah Veh, saying, Who ascends for us against the Kenaaniy to begin to fight against them?

²⁸ and Pinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon stands at the face of it in those days, saying, Go I yet again to war against the sons of Ben Yamin - my brother? Or cease? And Yah Veh says, Ascend; for tomorrow I give them into your hand.

²² So they ask Yah Veh further, if the man yet comes hither. And Yah Veh says, Behold he hides himself among the instruments.

⁴ And David adds again to ask Yah Veh: and Yah Veh answers him and says, Rise! Descend to Qeilah! For I give the Peleshethiy into your hand.

⁹ And David knows Shaul plots evil against him; and he says to Abi Athar the priest, Bring near the ephod. ¹⁰ And David says, O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, In hearing, your servant hears that Shaul seeks to come to Qeilah to ruin the city for my sake: ¹¹ The masters of Qeilah, shut they me into his hand? Descends Shaul, as your servant hears? O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I beseech you, tell your servant. And Yah Veh says, He descends. ¹² Then David says, The masters of Qeilah, shut they me and my men into the hand of Shaul? And Yah Veh says, They shut you.

⁶ And Shaul asks of Yah Veh, and Yah Veh answers him not - neither by dreams nor by Urim nor by prophets.

¹⁹ And David asks Yah Veh, saying, Ascend I to the Peleshethiy? Give you them into my hand? And Yah Veh says to David, Ascend! For in giving, I give the Peleshethiy into your hand.

²³ And David asks of Yah Veh, and he says, Ascend not; but go around behind them, and come upon them opposite the weepers:

⁵ And Yah Shaphat says to the sovereign of Yisra El, Enquire, I beseech you today, the word of Yah Veh.

¹⁵ And he comes to the sovereign; and the sovereign says to him, Michah Yah, Go we to war against Ramoth Gilad? Or cease? And he says to him, Ascend and prosper: for Yah Veh gives it into the hand of the sovereign.

³ Son of humanity, these men ascend their idols in their heart, and give the stumblingblock of their perversity at their face: Inquire they at all of me? ⁴ So word to them, and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Man by man of the house of Yisra El who ascends his idols in his heart, and sets the stumblingblock of his perversity at his face, and goes to the prophet; I Yah Veh give him who goes an answer according to the abundance of his idols: ⁵ so that I apprehend the house of Yisra El in their own heart; because, through their idols, they all estrange from me.

³ Son of humanity, word to the elders of Yisra El, and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Come you to enquire of me? I live! - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. I am not enquired of by you.

¹⁷ I see him, but not now: I observe him, but not near: a Star treads from Yaaqov and a Scion rises from Yisra El and strikes the edges of Moab and undermines all the sons of Sheth.

¹¹ Yisra El sinned; and they also trespassed my covenant which I misvahed them: and also take of the devotement, and also steal; and also deceive; and also set it among their own instruments:

¹⁴ In the morning, approach by your scions: and so be it, the scion Yah Veh captures approaches by families: and the family Yah Veh captures approaches by households: and the household Yah Veh captures approaches mighty by mighty. ¹⁵ And so be it, he who is captured with the devotement is burnt with fire - he and all he has: because he trespassed the covenant of Yah Veh and because he has worked folly in Yisra El. ¹⁶ So Yah Shua starts early in the morning, and approaches Yisra El by their scions; and captures the scion of Yah Hudah: ¹⁷ and he approaches the family of Yah Hudah; and captures the family of the Zerachiy: and he approaches the family of the Zerachiy mighty by mighty; and captures Zabdi: ¹⁸ and he approaches his household mighty by mighty; and captures Achan, the son of Karmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the rod of Yah Hudah. ¹⁹ And Yah Shua says to Achan, My son, I beseech you, set honor to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, and give spread hands to him; and tell me now what you worked; conceal it not from me. ²⁰ And Achan answers Yah Shua, and says, Truly I sinned against Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, and thus and thus I worked: ²¹ when I saw among the spoils a goodly Babel mighty mantle and two hundred shekels of silver and one tongue of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I desire them, and take them; and behold, they are hid in the earth midst my tent, and the silver under it. ²² So Yah Shua sends angels, and they run to the tent; and behold, it is hidden in his tent with the silver under it: ²³ and they take them from midst the tent, and bring them to Yah Shua and to all the sons of Yisra El; and pour them out at the face of Yah Veh. ²⁴ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El with him take Achan the son of Zerach and the silver and the mighty mantle and the tongue of gold and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his he burros and his flock and his tent and all he has; and ascend them to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Yah Shua says, Why trouble you us? Yah Veh troubles you this day. And all Yisra El stones him with stones, and burns them with fire after they stone them with stones. ²⁶ And they raise over him a great heap of stones to this day. Thus Yah Veh turns from the fuming of his wrath. So the name of that place is called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

² and the chiefs of all the people - of all the scions of Yisra El, set themselves in the congregation of the people of Elohim - four hundred thousand footmen who draw sword.

¹⁹ and you have, this day, refused your Elohim, who himself saved you from all your evils and your tribulations; and you said to him, No! But set a sovereign over us. And now, set yourselves at the face of Yah Veh by your scions and by your thousands. ²⁰ And Shemu El has all the scions of Yisra El approach, and captures the scion of Ben Yamin:

³ And the people say, You go not: for in fleeing, if we flee, neither set they their heart on us; nor if half of us die, set they their heart on us: but now you are as ten thousand of us: and now it is better that you help us from the city.

⁹ The volunteers of the people gather - the people of the Elohim of Abraham; for to Elohim be the bucklers of the earth; - mightily ascended.

⁴ From him comes the corner; from him the stake; from him the battle bow; from him every exactor together:

⁴² Yah Shua words to them, Read you never ever in the scriptures, The stone the builders disapprove, the same becomes the head of the corner: this becomes of Yah Vah and it is marvellous in our eyes? ^{Psalm 118:22, 23}

²⁰ built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yah Shua Messiah himself being the chief corner;

⁴⁴ And Shaul says, Elohim works thus and adds also: for in dying, you die, Yah Nathan.

⁶ And Shaul hearkens to the voice of Yah Nathan: and Shaul oaths, As Yah Veh lives, deathify him not.

³¹ For all the days the son of Yishay lives on the soil, neither you establish nor your sovereigndom: and now, send and take him to me; for he is a son of death.

¹⁶ And the sovereign says, In dying, you die, Achiy Melech - you and all the house of your father.

¹⁰ And Shaul oaths to her by Yah Veh, saying, Yah Veh lives, no perversion happens to you for this word.

⁵ And David kindles his wrath mightily against the man; and he says to Nathan, Yah Veh lives! The man who works this is a son of death:

⁷ And his instrument bearer says to him, Work all that is in your heart! Spread! Behold, I am with you according to your heart.

³⁶ And Shaul says, We descend after the Peleshethiy by night and plunder them until the morning light that not a man of them survives. And they say, Work whatever seems good in your eyes. And the priest says, Approach hither to Elohim.

¹⁵ And the servants of the sovereign say to the sovereign, Behold, your servants work whatever my adoni the sovereign chooses.

¹⁶ So Yah Shua starts early in the morning, and approaches Yisra El by their scions; and captures the scion of Yah Hudah: ¹⁷ and he approaches the family of Yah Hudah; and captures the family of the Zerachiy: and he approaches the family of the Zerachiy mighty by mighty; and captures Zabdi: ¹⁸ and he approaches his household mighty by mighty; and captures Achan, the son of Karmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the rod of Yah Hudah.

²⁰ And Shemu El has all the scions of Yisra El approach, and captures the scion of Ben Yamin: ²¹ and he has the scion of Ben Yamin approach by their families, and captures the family of Matri; and captures Shaul the son of Qish: and when they seek him, he is not found.

³³ The pebble is cast into the bosom; and all judgment is of Yah Veh.

⁷ And every man says to his friend, Come, and we fell pebbles, so that we know on whose account this evil is on us. - and they fell pebbles and the pebble falls on Yonah.

²⁴ and they pray, and say, You, Adonay, all heart-knowing, of these two, show the one you select

¹⁹ And Yah Shua says to Achan, My son, I beseech you, set honor to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, and give spread hands to him; and tell me now what you worked; conceal it not from me.

²⁷ And Yah Nathan heard not his father oath the people with the oath: and he sends forth the end of the rod in his hand and dips it in a forest; and returns his hand to his mouth: and his eyes enlighten.

⁷ And every man says to his friend, Come, and we fell pebbles, so that we know on whose account this evil is on us. - and they fell pebbles and the pebble falls on Yonah. ⁸ And they say to him, Tell us, we beseech you, for whose cause this evil is on us! What is your work? And whence come you? What is your land? And of what people are you? ⁹ And he says to them, I - a Hebrew; and I fear Yah Veh Elohim of the heavens, who worked the sea and the dry. ¹⁰ And the men awe an awe, and say to him, Why work you this? - for the men know he flees from the face of Yah Veh - because he told them.

²⁴ And so be it, about three months after, they tell Yah Hudah, saying, Tamar your daughter in law has whored; and also, behold, she conceived by whoredoms. And Yah Hudah says, Bring her, and burn her.

¹⁷ where you die, I die and there I entomb; Yah Veh work to me and add also, if aught but death separate you and me.

³⁹ For, Yah Veh lives, who saves Yisra El, though it be in Yah Nathan my son, in dying, he dies. - and not a man among all the people answers him.

²² may Elohim add to work thus to the enemies of David, if, of all he has, I let survive toward the morning light any who urinate against the wall.

⁹ O that Elohim work thus to Abi Ner, and add also; except, as Yah Veh oathed to David, even thus work I to him

³¹ and he brings the people therein and sets them under saws and under slicers of iron and under axes of iron and passes them through the brickkiln: and thus he works to all the cities of the sons of Ammon: and David and all the people return to Yeru Shalem.

¹³ And say to Amasa, Are you not of my bone and of my flesh? Elohim work thus to me and add also if you become not governor of the host at my face all days under Yah Ab.

¹⁶ Find you honey? eat as much as suffices you, lest you satiate and vomit.

²³ So Yah Veh saves Yisra El that day; and the war passes over to Beth Aven:

⁵ for he set his soul in his palm and smote the Peleshethiy; and Yah Veh worked a great salvation for all Yisra El: you saw and cheered: so why sin against innocent blood, to deathify David gratuitously?

¹¹ Then she says, I pray you, may the sovereign remember Yah Veh your Elohim - that the redeemers of blood not abound to ruin lest they destroy my son. And he says, Yah Veh lives! Not one hair of your son falls to the earth.

⁵² And Shelomoh says, If he shows himself a son of valour, not a hair of his falls to the earth: but if evil is found in him, he dies.

¹¹ And behold, Amar Yah the head priest is over you in all words of Yah Veh; and Zebad Yah the son of Yishma El the eminent of the house of Yah Hudah, for all the words of the sovereign: and the Leviym, officers at your face. Strengthen and work and Yah Veh is with the good.

²⁷ and you gave them into the hand of their tribulators who tribulated them: and in the time of their tribulation they cried to you; and you heard from the heavens; and according to your abundant mercies you gave them saviours to save them from the hand of their tribulators:

³ I misvah my hallowed; I also call my mighty for my wrath - those jumping for joy in my pomp.

²⁰ For the tyrant ceases and the scorner is finished off; and all who watch for mischief are cut off ²¹ - who cause humanity to sin in word and ensnare him who reproves in the portal and pervert the just for a waste.

³⁰ but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

¹⁸ but a hair of your head never no way destructs.

²⁷ And they come and gather the ecclesia together; and they evangelize as much as Elohim does with them; and how he opens the portal of trust to the goyim:

¹²
THE WITNESS OF PAULOS AND BAR NABI
And all the multitude hushes, and hearkens to Bar Nabi and Paulos, declaring as many signs and omens Elohim did through them among the goyim.

¹⁹ and he salutes them, and declares to each, one by one, what Elohim did among the goyim through his ministry.

³⁴ So I beseech you to take nourishment: for this is for your salvation: for not a hair falls from the head of any of you.

¹⁸ For I dare not speak of any of those that Messiah works not through me, to make the goyim obedient by word and work

⁹ For we are co-workers with Elohim: - the cultivation of Elohim - the edifice of Elohim.

¹
THE DAY OF SALVATION IS NOW!
So co-working, we also beseech you to not receive the charism of Elohim in vain.

¹²
WORKING OUT SALVATION
So my beloved, exactly as you always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my being away, work out your own salvation with awe and trembling. ^{Ephesians 2:8-10 13} For it is Elohim who energizes in you both to will and to energize his well-approval.

¹⁴ These war with the Lamb and the Lamb triumphs over them: because he is Adonay of adoniym and Sovereign of sovereigns: and those with him are called and select and trustworthy.

¹⁴ And the warriors in the heavens follow him on white horses, endued in white linen - white and pure:

¹
SHAUL DEFEATS THE AMMONIY
And Nachash the Ammoniy ascends and encamps against Yabesh Gilad: and all the men of Yabesh say to Nachash, Cut a covenant with us, and we serve you. ² And Nachash the Ammoniy says to them, By this I cut with you, that I bore out all your right eyes and lay it for a reproach on all Yisra El. ³ And the elders of Yabesh say to him, Slacken seven days; and we send angels to all the borders of Yisra El: and if there is no man to save us, we come to you. ⁴ And the angels come to Gibah of Shaul and word the words in the ears of the people: and all the people lift their voices and weep. ⁵ And behold, Shaul comes after the oxen from the field; and Shaul says, The people - why weep they? And they scribe him the words of the men of Yabesh: ⁶ and the Spirit of Elohim prospers on Shaul when he hears those words and kindles his wrath mightily; ⁷ and he takes a yoke of oxen and dismembers them and by the hands of angels, sends them throughout all the borders of Yisra El saying, Whoever goes not after Shaul and after Shemu El, so be it worked to his oxen. And the fear of Yah Veh falls on the people and they go as one man: ⁸ and he musters them in Bezeq, of the sons of Yisra El, three hundred thousand; and of the men of Yah Hudah, thirty thousand. ⁹ And they say to the angels who come, Say thus to the men of Yabesh Gilad: Tomorrow, by the heat of the sun, you have salvation. - and the angels come and tell it to the men of Yabesh; and they cheer. ¹⁰ And the men of Yabesh say, Tomorrow we come to you; and you work to us all that seems good in your eyes. ¹¹ And so be it, on the morrow, Shaul sets the people in three heads; and they come midst the camp in the morning watch and smite the Ammoniy until the heat of the day: and so be it, they who survive scatter, so that no two of them survive together. ¹² And the people say to Shemu El, Who says, Shaul reigns over us? Give the men, and we deathify them. ¹³ And Shaul says, Deathify no man this day: for today Yah Veh works salvation in Yisra El.

² and now behold, the sovereign walks at your face: and I am old and grayed; and behold, my sons are with you: and I walk at your face from my youth to this day.

¹
WAR WITH THE PELESHETHIY
Shaul is a son of a year in his reigning - he reigns two years over Yisra El:

⁵² And there is tough war against the Peleshethiy all the days of Shaul: and when Shaul sees any mighty man or any son of valour, he gathers him to him.

³ And David smites Hadad Ezer the son of Rechob sovereign of Sobah as he goes to turn back his hand at the river Euphrates:

⁶ And the sons of Ammon see that they stink to David; and the sons of Ammon send and hire the Aramiy of Beth Rechob and the Aramiy of Sobah twenty thousand on foot; and of sovereign Maachah a thousand men; and of Ish Tob twelve thousand men:

²³ And Elohim raises a satan - Rezon the son of Eli Ada who had fled from his adoni Hadad Ezer sovereign of Sobah

¹⁴ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Inscribe this in a scroll for a memorial and set it in the ears of Yah Shua: for in wiping out, I wipe out the memorial of Amaleq from under the heavens.

¹⁹ So be it, when Yah Veh your Elohim rests you from all your enemies all around, in the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance to possess - to wipe out the memorial of Amaleq from under the heavens; forget it not.

³ Now go and smite Amaleq and devote all they have and spare them not; deathify both man and woman, from suckling and infant, ox and lamb, camel and he burro. ⁴ And Shaul hears the people and musters them in Telaim - two hundred thousand on foot and ten thousand men of Yah Hudah: ⁵ and Shaul comes to a city of Amaleq and lurks in the wadi. ⁶ And Shaul says to the Qayiniy, Go! Turn aside! Descend from midst the Amaleq lest I gather you with them: for you worked mercy to all the sons of Yisra El when they ascended from Misrayim. - and the Qayiniy turn aside from midst Amaleq. ⁷ And Shaul smites the Amaleq from Havilah until you come to Shur at the face of Misrayim:

⁷ And the women answer as they entertain, and say, Shaul smites his thousands and David his myriads. ⁸ And Shaul inflames mightily and the word is evil in his eyes; and he says, To David they give myriads and to me they give thousands: and what more, except the sovereigndom? ⁹ - and Shaul eyes David from that day and beyond. ¹⁰
SHAUL FEARS DAVID
And so be it, on the morrow, the evil spirit from Elohim prospers on Shaul; and he prophesies midst the house: and David strums with his hand, as day by day: and there is a spear in the hand of Shaul: ¹¹ and Shaul casts the spear; for, he says, I smite David even to the wall. And David turns aside from his face two times: ¹² and Shaul awes at the face of David, because Yah Veh is with him and turns aside from Shaul: ¹³ and Shaul turns aside from him and sets him his governor over a thousand: and he goes and comes at the face of the people. ¹⁴ And David comprehends in all his ways; and Yah Veh is with him: ¹⁵ and Shaul sees that he comprehends mightily, and he sojourns from his face: ¹⁶ and all Yisra El and Yah Hudah love David, because he goes and comes at their face. ¹⁷ And Shaul says to David, Behold my greater daughter Merab, I give you her to woman: only, become a son of valour for me and fight the wars of Yah Veh. And Shaul says, That my hand becomes not on him, but that the hand of the Peleshethiy becomes on him. ¹⁸ And David says to Shaul, Who am I? And what is my life? Or the family of my father in Yisra El? And that I become son in law to the sovereign? ¹⁹ And so be it, at the time to give Merab the daughter of Shaul to David, he gives her to Adri El the Mecholathiy to woman. ²⁰ And Michal the daughter of Shaul loves David: and they tell Shaul; and the word is straight in his eyes. ²¹ And Shaul says, I give her to him, for a snare to him; and that the hand of the Peleshethiy be against him. So Shaul says to David a second time, This day you become my son in law.

⁴⁴ And Shaul gives Michal his daughter the woman of David to Phalti the son of Laish of Gallim.

² and the Peleshethiy adhere to Shaul and his sons; and the Peleshethiy smite Yah Nathan and Abi Nadab and Malki Shua - sons of Shaul:

¹³ And he says, Good; I cut a covenant with you: only, I ask one word of you, saying, You not see my face, unless you first bring Michal the daughter of Shaul when you come to see my face. ¹⁴ And David sends angels to Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul, saying, Give me my woman Michal whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy. ¹⁵ And Ish Bosheth sends and takes her from her man - from Phalti El the son of Lush: ¹⁶ and her man goes with her walking and weeping behind her to Bachurim. And Abi Ner says to him, Go, return. - and he returns.

²⁰ And David returns to bless his household: and Michal the daughter of Shaul goes to meet David and says, How honorable - the sovereign of Yisra El today, who exposes himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants as one of the vain shamelessly uncovers himself! ²¹ And David says to Michal, It is at the face of Yah Veh who chose me at the face of your father and at the face of all his house, to misvah me eminent over the people of Yah Veh - over Yisra El: therefore I entertain at the face of Yah Veh: ²² and I abase more than this - lowly in my own eyes: and the maids of which you say, of them I am honored. ²³ As for Michal the daughter of Shaul, she has no child to the day of her death.

³³ And Ner births Qish; and Qish births Shaul; and Shaul births Yah Nathan and Malki Shua and Abi Nadab and Esh Baal.

³⁹ And Ner births Qish and Qish births Shaul and Shaul births Yah Nathan and Malki Shua and Abi Nadab and Esh Baal.

⁵⁵ And Shaul sees David going to meet the Peleshethiy; and he says to Abi Ner the governor of the host, Abi Ner, whose son is this lad? And Abi Ner says, As your soul lives, O sovereign, I know not.

⁸
THE SON OF SHAUL REIGNS OVER YISRA EL
And Abi Ner the son of Ner, governor of the host of Shaul, takes Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul and passes him over to Machanayim;

²⁷ And Abi Ner returns to Hebron and Yah Ab turns him aside midst the portal to word with him serenely; and smites him under the fifth, so that he dies for the blood of Asa El his brother.

¹
SHEMU EL ANOINTS SHAUL
And there is a man of Ben Yamin his name is Qish - the son of Abi El the son of Seror the son of Bechorath the son of Aphiach - a Ben Yaminiy, mighty of valour:

²¹ And Shaul answers and says, Am not I a Ben Yaminiy, of the smallest of the scions of Yisra El? and my family the lesser of all the families of the scion of Ben Yamin? Why then word you thus to me?

¹
THE DISHONEST SONS OF SHEMU EL
And so be it, Shemu El ages; and he sets his sons judges over Yisra El:

¹¹ and he says, This becomes the judgment of the sovereign who reigns over you: He takes your sons and sets them for himself for his chariots and for his cavalry; at the face of his chariots;
