THE SONS OF YISRA EL ATTACK THE SONS OF BEN YAMIN
And all the sons of Yisra El go out and the witness congregates as one man - from Dan even to Beer Sheba with the land of Gilad to Yah Veh in Mispeh: 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. ³ The sons of Ben Yamin hear that the sons of Yisra El ascend to Mispeh. And the sons of Yisra El say, Word, how becomes this evil? ⁴ And the Leviy, the man of the woman who is murdered, answers and says, I come to Gibah to Ben Yamin - I and my concubine, to stay overnight: ⁵ and the masters of Gibah rose against me and surrounded the house on me by night and considered slaughtering me: and abased my concubine that she died. ⁶ And I possessed my concubine and dismembered her; and send her throughout all the fields of the inheritance of Yisra El: for they work intrigue and folly in Yisra El. ⁷ Behold, you are all sons of Yisra El; give here your word and counsel. ⁸ And all the people rise as one man, saying, No man goes to his tent, and no man turns to his house: ⁹ and now, this is the word we work by pebble against Gibah; ¹⁰ we take ten men of a hundred throughout all the scions of Yisra El; and a hundred of a thousand and a thousand of a myriad to take hunt for the people, that when they come to Gibah of Ben Yamin, to work according to all the folly they worked in Yisra El. ¹¹ And all the men of Yisra El gather against the city - companions as one man: ¹² and the scions of Yisra El send men through all the scion of Ben Yamin, saying, What evil is this among you? ¹³ Now give the men - the sons of Beli Yaal in Gibah and we deathify them and thus burn away evil from Yisra El. And Ben Yamin wills to not hearken to the voice of their brothers the sons of Yisra El: ¹⁴ and the sons of Ben Yamin gather from the cities to Gibah, to go to war against the sons of Yisra El. ¹⁵ And daily the sons of Ben Yamin muster from the cities twenty-six thousand men who draw sword; beside the settlers of Gibah, who muster seven hundred chosen men: ¹⁶ among all this people are seven hundred chosen men bound of their right hand; every one slinging stones at a hair, and none sin/miss the mark. ¹⁷ And beside Ben Yamin, the men of Yisra El muster four hundred thousand men who draw sword - all men of war. 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. ¹⁹ And the sons of Yisra El rise in the morning and encamp against Gibah: ²⁰ and the men of Yisra El go to war against Ben Yamin: and the men of Yisra El line up to war against them at Gibah. ²¹ And the sons of Ben Yamin go from Gibah and ruin to the earth of the Yisra Eliy that day twenty-two thousand men. ²² And the people - the men of Yisra El strengthen themselves and line up to war again in the place they lined up the first day. 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. ²⁴ - and the sons of Yisra El approach against the sons of Ben Yamin the second day. ²⁵ And Ben Yamin goes to meet them from Gibah the second day; and ruins to the earth of the sons of Yisra El again eighteen thousand men - all who draw the sword. ²⁶ And all the sons of Yisra El and all the people ascend and come to the house of Elohim and weep; and settle there at the face of Yah Veh; and fast that day until evening; and holocaust holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh. 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. ²⁹ And Yisra El sets lurkers all around Gibah: ³⁰ and on the third day the sons of Yisra El ascend against the sons of Ben Yamin and line up against Gibah, as time by time: ³¹ and the sons of Ben Yamin come out to meet the people; and they tear away from the city and begin to smite and pierce the people - about thirty men of Yisra El, as time by time - in the highways whereby one ascends to the house of Elohim and to Gibah in the field. ³² And the sons of Ben Yamin say, They are smitten at our face, as at the first. But the sons of Yisra El say, We flee and tear them away from the city to the highways. ³³ And all the men of Yisra El rise from their place and line up at Baal Tamar: and the lurkers of Yisra El come from their places - from the barrens of Gibah: ³⁴ ten thousand chosen men of all Yisra El and come against Gibah; and the war is heavy: but they know not that evil touches them. ³⁵ And Yah Veh smites Ben Yamin at the face of Yisra El: and that day the sons of Yisra El ruin of the Ben Yaminiy twenty-five thousand and a hundred men - all who draw the sword. ³⁶ And the sons of Ben Yamin see they are smitten: for the men of Yisra El give place to the Ben Yaminiy, because they confide in the lurkers they set beside Gibah: ³⁷ and the lurkers hasten and spread on Gibah; and the lurkers draw along and smite all the city with the mouth of the sword. ³⁸ And there becomes a season to the men of Yisra El with the lurkers, to make an abounding heaviness of smoke ascend from the city. ³⁹ And the men of Yisra El return in the war, and Ben Yamin begins to smite and pierce about thirty persons of the men of Yisra El: for they say, In smiting, they are smitten at our face as in the first war. ⁴⁰ And the signal - a pillar of smoke begins to holocaust from the city, the Ben Yaminiy turn face behind them, and behold, the city totally holocausts to the heavens. ⁴¹ And the men of Yisra El turn again, and the men of Ben Yamin hasten: for they see that evil touches them: ⁴² and they turn from the face of the men of Yisra El to the way of the wilderness; and the war overtakes them: and they ruin them who come in their midst from the cities. ⁴³ Thus they surround the Ben Yaminiy and pursue them and tread them down with ease over against Gibah from the rising sun. ⁴⁴ And eighteen thousand men of Ben Yamin fall - all men of valour: ⁴⁵ and they turn face and flee toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they glean five thousand of their men in the highways; and adhere after them to Gidom; and smite two thousand of their men: ⁴⁶ and all who fall that day of Ben Yamin - twenty-five thousand men who draw the sword - all men of valour. ⁴⁷ And six hundred men turn face and flee to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon and settle in the rock Rimmon four months: ⁴⁸ and the men of Yisra El turn on the sons of Ben Yamin and smite them with the mouth of the sword - the integrious of city, to animals, and to all they find: also they set on fire all the cities they find.

SONS OF YISRA EL DISPUTE OVER LAND
And the sons of Reu Ben and the sons of Gad have mighty mighty many chattel: and when they see the land of Yazer and the land of Gilad, and behold, the place is a place for chattel;

⁴⁰ And Mosheh gives Gilad to Machir the son of Menash Sheh; and he settles therein.

¹² When, in one of the cities Yah Veh your Elohim gives you to settle, you hear, saying, ¹³ Men, sons of Beli Yaal, go among you, and drive them who settle the city, saying, Come and serve other elohim whom you know not! ¹⁴ - then inquire and probe and ask well; and behold, if it is the truth, and the word established, that such abhorrence is worked among you; ¹⁵ in smiting, smite them who settle that city with the mouth of the sword; devote it and all therein and the animals thereof with the mouth of the sword: ¹⁶ and gather all the loot thereof midst the wideway thereof; and burn the city and all the loot thereof with fire - totally for Yah Veh your Elohim: and it becomes a heap for eternity; never to be built again. ¹⁷ And adhere naught of the devoted to your hand: so that Yah Veh turns from his fuming wrath and gives you mercies; and mercies you and abounds you, as he has oathed to your fathers ¹⁸ - when you hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard all his misvoth which I misvah you this day - to work what is straight in the eyes of Yah Veh your Elohim.

³⁸ and Dilan and Mispeh and Yoqthe El

¹
THE BOUNDARIES OF MENASH SHEH And so be it, a pebble for the rod of Menash Sheh; for he is the firstbirthed of Yoseph - for Machir the firstbirthed of Menash Sheh the father of Gilad: because he is a man of war he has Gilad and Bashan.

²⁶ and Mispeh and Kephirah and Mosah

JUDGE YIPHTACH
And the sons of Ammon cry out and encamp in Gilad; and the sons of Yisra El gather and encamp in Mispeh:

¹¹ And Yiphtach goes with the elders of Gilad; and the people set him their head and commander: and Yiphtach words all his words at the face of Yah Veh in Mispeh.

²⁹ and they call the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was birthed to Yisra El: but formerly, the name of the city is Laish.

²⁶ And all the sons of Yisra El and all the people ascend and come to the house of Elohim and weep; and settle there at the face of Yah Veh; and fast that day until evening; and holocaust holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh.

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.

²⁰ And all Yisra El from Dan even to Beer Sheba knows Shemu El as a trustworthy prophet of Yah Veh:

⁵ And Shemu El says, Gather all Yisra El to Mispeh and I pray for you to Yah Veh. ⁶ And they gather to Mispeh and bail water and pour it out at the face of Yah Veh and fast on that day, and say there, We sinned against Yah Veh. And Shemu El judges the sons of Yisra El in Mispeh.

¹⁷
SHAUL SET AS SOVEREIGN
And Shemu El summons the people to Yah Veh to Mispeh;

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 has him reign over Gilad and over the Ashshuriy and over Yizre El and over Ephrayim and over Ben Yamin and over all Yisra El.

¹⁰ - to pass the sovereigndom from the house of Shaul and to raise the throne of David over Yisra El and over Yah Hudah from Dan even to Beer Sheba.

¹⁴ And he spreads the heart of all the men of Yah Hudah as one man; so that they send to the sovereign, Return you and all your servants.

² And the sovereign says to Yah Ab the governor of the valiant host with him, Flit now through all the scions of Yisra El from Dan even to Beer Sheba; and number the people so that I know the number of the people.

²³ And all the governors of the valiant - they and their men hear that the sovereign of Babel makes Gedal Yah overseer; and there comes to Gedal Yah to Mispeh even Yishma El the son of Nethan Yah and Yah Hanan the son of Qareach and Sera Yah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathiy and Yaazan Yah the son of a Maachahiy - they and their men:

² and David says to Yah Ab and to the governors of the people, Go, number and scribe Yisra El from Beer Sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, so I know.

⁵ and they stand a word to pass the voice throughout all Yisra El - from Beer Sheba even to Dan to come to work the pasach to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El at Yeru Shalem: for they had not worked it in abundance in such sort as inscribed.

¹
EZRA CALLS OUT THE TORAH
And all the people gather as one man into the broadway at the face of the water portal; and they say to Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the torah of Mosheh which Yah Veh misvahed to Yisra El:

¹⁰ And Zebach and Sal Munna are in Qarqor and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand - all who remain of all the camps of the sons of the east: for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men drawing sword.

¹⁵ And daily the sons of Ben Yamin muster from the cities twenty-six thousand men who draw sword; beside the settlers of Gibah, who muster seven hundred chosen men:

¹⁷ And beside Ben Yamin, the men of Yisra El muster four hundred thousand men who draw sword - all men of war.

⁹ and Yah Ab gives up the number of the census of the people to the sovereign: and there are of Yisra El eight hundred thousand valiant who draw the sword; and the men of Yah Hudah five hundred thousand men.

²⁶ And the sovereign of Moab sees the war is too strong for him, and he takes with him seven hundred men who draw swords to split through to the sovereign of Edom: and they are not able.

²²
THE SONS OF BELI YAAL EXPLOIT THE CONCUBINE
They well-prepare their hearts, and behold, the men of the city - men - sons of Beli Yaal beset the house all around and beat at the door and say to the man of the house - the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him. ²³ And the man - the master of the house goes out to them and says to them, No, my brothers, I beseech you, vilify not; after this man comes into my house, work not this folly. ²⁴ Behold, my daughter - a virgin and his concubine; I bring them out now: abase them and work with them as seems good in your eyes: but work not this word of folly to this man. ²⁵ And the men will to not hearken to him: so the man holds his concubine and brings her out to them; and they know her and exploit her all night until morning: and when the dawn ascends, they send her away. ²⁶ Then the woman comes at the turning of the face of the morning and falls at the portal of the house of the man where her adoni is, until it is light. ²⁷ And her adoni rises in the morning and opens the doors of the house and goes out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine fallen at the portal of the house - her hands on the threshold.

³ The subtle sees the evil and hides himself; and the gullible pass on and are penalized.

²⁵
SETTLING OUT OF COURT
Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him in the way: lest ever the adversary deliver you to the judge; and the judge deliver you to the attendant; and cast you into a guardhouse.

⁵⁸ Indeed as you and your adversary go to the arch, as you are on the way give work to be released from him; lest ever he drag you to the judge and the judge deliver you to the officer and the officer cast you into the guardhouse. ⁵⁹ I word to you, that you never no way depart there, until you give the final flake.

³¹
TREATY OF SHALOM
Or what sovereign, going to encounter war against another sovereign, indeed sits not down first, and counsels whether he is able by ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? ³² But if not, while the other is yet afar off, he apostolizes a presbytry and asks for shalom.

¹⁵ and they turn aside to go in and to stay overnight in Gibah: and when he goes in, he seats himself in a broadway of the city: for no man gathers them into his house to stay overnight: ¹⁶ and behold, an old man comes from his work from the field at evening - a man of mount Ephrayim who sojourns in Gibah: and the men of the place are Ben Yaminiy. ¹⁷ And he lifts his eyes, and sees a caravan, a man in the broadway of the city: and the old man says, Whither go you? and whence come you? ¹⁸ And he says to him, We pass from Beth Lechem Yah Hudah toward the flank of mount Ephrayim from whence I am: and I go to Beth Lechem Yah Hudah, and I go to the house of Yah Veh; and no man gathers me to his house. ¹⁹ And there are yet both straw and provender for our he burros; and bread and wine for me and for your maid and for the young man with your lads: there is no lack of any word. ²⁰ And the old man says, Shalom to you; only, all your lacks be on me; only, stay not overnight in the broadway. ²¹ So he brings him into his house and fodders the he burros: and they baptize their feet and eat and drink. ²²
THE SONS OF BELI YAAL EXPLOIT THE CONCUBINE
They well-prepare their hearts, and behold, the men of the city - men - sons of Beli Yaal beset the house all around and beat at the door and say to the man of the house - the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him. ²³ And the man - the master of the house goes out to them and says to them, No, my brothers, I beseech you, vilify not; after this man comes into my house, work not this folly. ²⁴ Behold, my daughter - a virgin and his concubine; I bring them out now: abase them and work with them as seems good in your eyes: but work not this word of folly to this man. ²⁵ And the men will to not hearken to him: so the man holds his concubine and brings her out to them; and they know her and exploit her all night until morning: and when the dawn ascends, they send her away. ²⁶ Then the woman comes at the turning of the face of the morning and falls at the portal of the house of the man where her adoni is, until it is light. ²⁷ And her adoni rises in the morning and opens the doors of the house and goes out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine fallen at the portal of the house - her hands on the threshold. ²⁸ And he says to her, Rise and we go. - and there is no answer. And the man takes her on a he burro and the man rises and goes to his place:

⁴ But ere they lie down, the men of the city - the men of Sedom surround the house - from aged to lad - all the people from every extremity: ⁵ and they call to Lot and say to him, Where are the men who came in to you this night? bring them out to us, for us to know them. ⁶ And Lot goes to them at the portal and shuts the door after him, ⁷ and says, I beseech you, brothers, vilify not: ⁸ behold, I beseech, I have two daughters who know no man; I - I beseech you, I bring them out to you and you work to them as is good in your eyes: only work no word to these men; and so they come under the shadow of my beams.

²⁴ then you bring the two of them to the portal of that city and stone them with stones that they die; the lass, for the word that she cried not, being in the city; and the man, for the word that he humbled the woman of his friend: thus you burn evil from among you.

²²
THE SONS OF BELI YAAL EXPLOIT THE CONCUBINE
They well-prepare their hearts, and behold, the men of the city - men - sons of Beli Yaal beset the house all around and beat at the door and say to the man of the house - the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him.

²⁵ And the men will to not hearken to him: so the man holds his concubine and brings her out to them; and they know her and exploit her all night until morning: and when the dawn ascends, they send her away. ²⁶ Then the woman comes at the turning of the face of the morning and falls at the portal of the house of the man where her adoni is, until it is light.

¹⁰ in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. ¹¹ And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father:

⁷ and when the sons of Yaaqov hear they come from the field: and the men contort and inflame mightily, because he worked folly in Yisra El in lying with the daughter of Yaaqov; which ought not to be worked.

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.

²³ And the man - the master of the house goes out to them and says to them, No, my brothers, I beseech you, vilify not; after this man comes into my house, work not this folly.

²⁹ and he comes into his house and takes a knife and lays hold on his concubine and dismembers her with her bones into twelve members; and sends her into all the borders of Yisra El.

¹⁰ we take ten men of a hundred throughout all the scions of Yisra El; and a hundred of a thousand and a thousand of a myriad to take hunt for the people, that when they come to Gibah of Ben Yamin, to work according to all the folly they worked in Yisra El.

¹² And she says to him, No, my brother, humble me not; for such ought not to be worked in Yisra El: work not this folly: ¹³ And I, where goes my reproach? And as for you, you become as one of the fools in Yisra El: and now, I pray you, word to the sovereign; for he withholds me not from you.

⁵ and now, if in hearing, you hear my voice and guard my covenant, then you - you become to me a peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine: ⁶ and you become to me a sovereigndom of priests and a holy goyim. These are the words you word to the sons of Yisra El. 2 Petros 2:9, Apocalypse 1:6

⁶ Guard and work; for this is your wisdom and your discernment in the eyes of the people who hear all these statutes; and say, Surely this great goyim is a wise and discerning people!

¹
THE TORAH ON MUTILATION You are the sons of Yah Veh your Elohim: neither cut yourselves, nor set any baldness between your eyes for them who die. ² For you are a holy people to Yah Veh your Elohim and Yah Veh chose you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the goyim upon the face of the soil.

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

³⁰ And so be it, all who see it, say, Thus has neither been nor seen from the day the sons of Yisra El ascended from the land of Misrayim to this day! Set on it! Consult and word!

¹⁸ Every fabrication is established by counsel; and with counsels, work war.

⁶ For by counsels, you work war; and in abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

¹
PAULOS REBUKES WHOREDOM
I actually hear of whoredom among you; and such whoredom as is not even named among the goyim; that one has the woman of his father.

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Know you not that a little fermentation ferments the whole lump?

¹⁰ yet most certainly not with the whoremongers of this cosmos or with the avaricious or plunderers or with idolaters; otherwise you are indebted to go from the cosmos. ¹¹ And now I scribe you to not co-mingle; whenever anyone named brother - either a whoremonger or avaricious or an idolater or an abuser or an intoxicator or a plunderer; never ever eat with such a one. ¹² For what have I to do to also judge those who are outside? And not indeed judge those who are inside?

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, ask of Elohim who gives liberally to all and reproaches not - and he is given.

¹
THE SONS OF YISRA EL ATTACK THE SONS OF BEN YAMIN
And all the sons of Yisra El go out and the witness congregates as one man - from Dan even to Beer Sheba with the land of Gilad to Yah Veh in Mispeh:

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.

³ To work justice and judgment is chosen of Yah Veh, rather than sacrifice.

¹⁰ Whatever your hand finds to work, work with your force; for there is no work, or machination, or knowledge, or wisdom in sheol, where you go.

² their inheritance is by pebble, as Yah Veh misvahed by the hand of Mosheh for the nine rods and for the half rod.

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.

⁵ And they allot by pebble these with those: for the governors of the holies and governors of Elohim are of the sons of El Azar and of the sons of Iy Thamar:

¹
THE SETTLERS OF YERU SHALEM
And the governors of the people settle at Yeru Shalem: and the survivors of the people fell pebbles, to bring one of ten to settle in Yeru Shalem the holy city; and nine hands to other cities:

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.

²⁶ And they give their lots; and the lot falls upon Matthias; and he is enrolled with the eleven apostles.

¹⁴ - then inquire and probe and ask well; and behold, if it is the truth, and the word established, that such abhorrence is worked among you;

¹⁰ When you approach to a city to fight against it, call shalom to it:

¹³ and the sons of Yisra El send to the sons of Reu Ben and to the sons of Gad and to the half scion of Menash Sheh, in the land of Gilad, Pinechas the son of El Azar the priest; ¹⁴ with ten hierarchs - one hierarch of each house of the fathers throughout all the rods of Yisra El; and each man is a head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Yisra El. ¹⁵ And they come to the sons of Reu Ben and to the sons of Gad and to the half scion of Menash Sheh to the land of Gilad; and they word with them, saying, ¹⁶ Thus says the whole witness of Yah Veh, What is this treason you treason against Elohim of Yisra El - to turn away this day from after Yah Veh by building a sacrifice altar - to rebel this day against Yah Veh?

¹⁵
A SINNING BROTHER
And whenever your brother sins to you, go and reprove him between you and him alone: whenever he hears you, you gain your brother: ¹⁶ but whenever he hears you not take one or two more with you; so that in the mouth of two or three witnesses you establish every rhema: ¹⁷ and whenever he refuses to hear them, say it to the ecclesia: and whenever he refuses to hear the ecclesia, he becomes to you exactly as the goyim and a customs agent. ¹⁸
BINDING AND RELEASING
Amen! I word to you, Whatever you bind on earth becomes bound in the heavens: whatever you release on earth becomes released in the heavens.

¹⁸ If possible, as much as is of you, complete/shalam with all humanity.

⁵ and deathify that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; because he words to you to revolt from Yah Veh your Elohim - who brought you from the land of Misrayim and redeemed you from the house of servants; and to drive you from the way wherein Yah Veh your Elohim misvahed you to walk. Thus burn evil from your midst.

¹³ Men, sons of Beli Yaal, go among you, and drive them who settle the city, saying, Come and serve other elohim whom you know not!

⁷ First the hands of the witnesses are on him to deathify him; and afterward the hands of all the people. Thus you burn the evil from your midst.

¹² And the man who works arrogance, and hearkens not to the priest who stands to minister there at the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, or to the judge, even that man dies: and you burn away the evil from Yisra El.

¹⁹ then work to him as he intrigued to work to his brother: thus you burn the evil from among you.

²¹ And all the men of his city stone him with stones and he dies: thus you burn evil from among you. - and all Yisra El hears and awes.

²¹ then they bring the lass to the opening of the house of her father: and the men of her city stone her with stones so that she dies: because she worked folly in Yisra El to whore in the house of her father: thus you burn evil from among you.

⁷ When you find a man stealing a soul from his brothers - of the sons of Yisra El and tyrranizes him or sells him; that thief dies; and you burn evil from among you.

²⁵ When one man sins against man, Elohim prays for him: but when a man sins against Yah Veh, who prays for him? And they hearken not to the voice of their father, because Yah Veh desires to deathify them.

²² And all the evil men of Beli Yaal, of those men who went with David, answer and say, Because they went not with us, we give them naught of the spoil we rescued, except to every man his woman and his sons to drive them away and go.

¹
SHEBA REBELS
And so be a man, called of Beli Yaal, his name is Sheba the son of Bichria a Ben Yaminiy: and he blasts a shophar and says, We have neither allotment in David nor inheritance in the son of Yishay: every man to his tents, O Yisra El.

²¹ the word is not thus: but a man of mount Ephrayim Sheba the son of Bichri by name lifts his hand against the sovereign - against David: give him only, and I go from the city. And the woman says to Yah Ab, Behold, his head - thrown to you through the wall. ²² - and in her wisdom the woman goes to all the people; and they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and cast it to Yah Ab. And he blasts a shophar and they scatter from the city - every man to his tent: and Yah Ab returns to Yeru Shalem to the sovereign.

⁶ As for Beli Yaal - as a fleeing thorn they all are; because they are not taken by hands:

¹³ And two men come in - sons of Beli Yaal and settle in front of him: and the men of Beli Yaal witness against him - against Naboth in the presence of the people saying, Naboth blesses Elohim and the sovereign. And they bring him from the city and stone him with stones that he dies:

⁷ And vain men, the sons of Beli Yaal gather to him and strengthen themselves against Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: and Rechab Am is a lad of tender heart and cannot strengthen himself at their face.

¹⁶ And so be it, as he words with him, he says to him, Who gives you to be counsellor to the sovereign? Cease! Why be smitten? Then the prophet ceases and says, I know Elohim counsels to ruin, because you work this and hearken not to my counsel.

²⁰ And Amaz Yah hearkens not; for it is of Elohim to give them into hand, because they seek after the elohim of Edom.

¹ A man of reproofs, with hardened neck, breaks in a blink - and there is no healing.

¹⁰ Turn vexation from your heart and pass evil from your flesh; for childhood and dawn are vanity.

⁹ They deepen; they ruin as in the days of Gibah: he remembers their perversity; he visits their sins.

⁹ O Yisra El, you sinned from the days of Gibah: there they stood: the war in Gibah overtook them not because of the sons of wickedness.

³² who, knowing the judgment of Elohim, that they, who transact such are worthy of death, not only do the same but think well of them who transact them.

⁴ And I hear another voice from the heavens, wording, Come from her, my people, that you not co-partake of her sins and that you not take of her plagues. ⁵ Because her sins follow to the heavens and Elohim remembers her injustices.

²⁰ And he says, You pass not through. - and Edom confronts him heavy with people and with a strong hand.

²³ And Sichon gives not Yisra El to pass through his border: but Sichon gathers all his people together and goes and confronts Yisra El in the wilderness: and he comes to Yahsah who fights Yisra El:

¹³ And Yarob Am lurks around behind them: so they are at the face of Yah Hudah and they lurk behind them:

²⁵ he spreads his hand against El and prevails mightily against Shadday. ²⁶ He runs on him - on his neck - on the thick bosses of his shields;

³⁷ their mustered of the rod of Ben Yamin: thirty-five thousand and four hundred.

⁴¹ these are the sons of Ben Yamin by families: and their mustered - forty-five thousand and six hundred.

²⁵ And Ben Yamin goes to meet them from Gibah the second day; and ruins to the earth of the sons of Yisra El again eighteen thousand men - all who draw the sword.

³⁵ And Yah Veh smites Ben Yamin at the face of Yisra El: and that day the sons of Yisra El ruin of the Ben Yaminiy twenty-five thousand and a hundred men - all who draw the sword.

⁴⁶ and all who fall that day of Ben Yamin - twenty-five thousand men who draw the sword - all men of valour. ⁴⁷ And six hundred men turn face and flee to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon and settle in the rock Rimmon four months:

¹⁵
EHUD THE SAVIOUR
And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh and Yah Veh raises them a saviour - Ehud the son of Gera - a Ben Yaminiy - a man shut of his right hand: and by his hand the sons of Yisra El send an offering to Eglon the sovereign of Moab;

⁴⁰ and he takes his staff in his hand and chooses five smooth stones from the wadi and sets them in the instrument of the tender he has in a pouch; and his sling is in his hand: and he draws near the Peleshethiy:

⁴⁹ and David spreads his hand in his instrument and he takes a stone from it and slings it and smites the Peleshethiy in his forehead so that the stone sinks into his forehead; and he falls on his face to the earth. ⁵⁰ And David prevails over the Peleshethiy with a sling and with a stone and smites the Peleshethiy and deathifies him; and there is no sword in the hand of David:

²⁹ yet a human rises to pursue you and to seek your soul: but the soul of my adoni is bound in the bundle of life with Yah Veh your Elohim; and he slings the souls of your enemies, as midst the hollow of a sling.

² they are kissed with bows and can use both the right and the left in stones and arrows from a bow - of the brothers of Shaul - of Ben Yamin.

¹⁴ And throughout all the host Uzzi Yah prepares for them bucklers and javelins and helmets and habergeons and bows and stones for slings:

⁴⁶ even all their mustered: six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

⁵¹ These are the mustered of the sons of Yisra El - six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

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.

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 Yah Ab gives the number of the census of the people to David: and all Yisra El is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men who draw sword: and Yah Hudah is four hundred seventy thousand men who draw sword:

¹⁴ and these are the mustered according to the house of their fathers: of Yah Hudah, the governors of thousands: Adnah the governor and with him - three hundred thousand mighty of valour; ¹⁵ and at his hand: Yah Hanan the governor; and with him - two hundred and eighty thousand; ¹⁶ and at his hand: Amas Yah the son of Zichri who volunteers to Yah Veh; and with him mighty of valour - two hundred thousand; ¹⁷ and of Ben Yamin; Eli Ada mighty of valour and with him, them kissed with bow and buckler - two hundred thousand; ¹⁸ and at his hand, Yah Zabad: and with him equipped for hostility - a hundred and eighty thousand.

⁸ Yah Hudah: you to whom your brothers spread hands: your hand is on the neck of your enemies; the sons of your father prostrate to you: ⁹ Yah Hudah is a whelp of a lion: from the prey, my son, you ascend: he kneels; he crouches as a lion and as a roaring lion; who rouses him? ¹⁰ Neither turns the scion aside from Yah Hudah nor a statute setter from between his feet until Shiloh come; and the obedience of the people is his:

⁵ - and Mosheh oblates their judgment at the face of Yah Veh.

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.

¹
THE ALLOTMENT OF THE REST OF THE LAND And the whole witness of the sons of Yisra El congregates at Shiloh and there they tabernacle the tent of the congregation: and the land is subdued at their face:

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? ² And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah ascend: behold, I give the land into his hand.

³¹ and they set up the sculptile Michah worked all the days the house of Elohim is in Shiloh.

¹⁸ And he says to him, We pass from Beth Lechem Yah Hudah toward the flank of mount Ephrayim from whence I am: and I go to Beth Lechem Yah Hudah, and I go to the house of Yah Veh; and no man gathers me to his house.

⁷ Behold, you are all sons of Yisra El; give here your word and counsel.

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.

²⁶ And all the sons of Yisra El and all the people ascend and come to the house of Elohim and weep; and settle there at the face of Yah Veh; and fast that day until evening; and holocaust holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh. ²⁷ And the sons of Yisra El ask of Yah Veh - for the ark of the covenant of Elohim is there in those days;

¹⁴
THE DAY OF YAH VEH
Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! Gather the elders and all the settlers of the land into the house of Yah Veh your El, and cry to Yah Veh,

¹
SONS OF YISRA EL PASS OVER YARDEN And Yah Shua starts early in the morning; and they pull stakes from Shittim and come to Yarden - he and all the sons of Yisra El; and stay there overnight ere they pass over.

¹² And Yah Shua starts early in the morning and the priests lift the ark of Yah Veh:

¹⁶ So Yah Shua starts early in the morning, and approaches Yisra El by their scions; and captures the scion of Yah Hudah:

²⁷ Ben Yamin: he tears as a wolf: in the morning he devours the prey and at evening he allots the loot.

⁹
THE TORAH ON SANITATION When the camp goes forth against your enemies, then guard from every evil word.

¹⁰ And now, sons of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, you say to subdue them as your servants and maids: but have you not guilt - all yours against Yah Veh your Elohim?

¹⁶ Neither is the sovereign saved by the abundance of valour; nor the mighty rescued by the abundance of force.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in smooth places; you cast them down into ruins: ¹⁹ how they become a desolation - as in a blink! in consuming, they are consumed with terrors.

¹⁹ your way is in the sea and your path in the great waters and your heelprints are not known:

¹ But all this - I gave in my heart to declare all this: that the just and the wise and their service are in the hand of Elohim; no human knows either love or hatred by all that is at their face. 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. ³ This is an evil among all worked under the sun, one happening to all; and also, the heart of the sons of humanity is full of evil; and folly in their heart while they live: and after that - unto the dead.

¹
THE PRAYER OF YIRME YAH
You are just, O Yah Veh, O that I plead with you - word to you of judgments! Why prospers the way of the wicked? Why are all they serene - who in dealing covertly, deal covertly?

⁶ and David is mighty depressed; for the people say of stoning him, because the soul of all the people embitters - every man for his sons and for his daughters. And David strengthens in Yah Veh his Elohim;

²⁵ Then David says to the angel, Say thus to Yah Ab, This word is not evil in your eyes; for thus the sword devours one: strengthen your warfare against the city and demolish it: and you strengthen him.

⁵ They strengthen themselves in an evil word; they scribe of hiding snares: they say, Who sees?

⁶ And Yah Shua rips his clothes, and falls to the earth on his face at the face of the ark of Yah Veh until the evening - he and the elders of Yisra El; and ascend dust on their heads.

³⁴ When he slaughters them, then they seek him - return and seek early after El; ³⁵ and they remember Elohim is their rock and El Elyon their redeemer. ³⁶ And they dupe him with their mouth and lie to him with their tongue:

¹⁵ I go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their guilting and seek my face: in their tribulation they seek me early.

²⁵ Far be it from you to work this word, to deathify the just with the wicked: and that it be, as the just, as the wicked. Far be it from you! The Judge of all the earth, works he not judgment?

²¹ And the sons of Ben Yamin go from Gibah and ruin to the earth of the Yisra Eliy that day twenty-two thousand men.

¹² Behold, he seizes! Who turns him back? Who says to him, What work you? ¹³ Elohah turns not back his wrath; the proud helpers prostrate under him.

² Clouds and dripping darkness surround him; justness and judgment establish his throne.

⁵ But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you treasure to yourself wrath in the day of wrath and apocalypse of the just judgment of Elohim;

⁵
OUR UNJUSTNESS
But if our unjustness commends the justness of Elohim, what say we? Is Elohim, who brings wrath, unjust? I word as a human.

³³ O the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of Elohim! How unexplorable his judgments and his ways untraceable!

⁶ And they gather to Mispeh and bail water and pour it out at the face of Yah Veh and fast on that day, and say there, We sinned against Yah Veh. And Shemu El judges the sons of Yisra El in Mispeh.

³ And Yah Shaphat awes and gives his face to seek Yah Veh; and calls a fast over all Yah Hudah:

²¹ And I call a fast there at the river of Ahava to humble ourselves at the face of our Elohim - to seek of him a straight way for us and for our toddlers and for all our acquisition:

⁴ and every one who trembles at the words of Elohim of Yisra El gathers to me; because of the treason of those who were exiled; and I sat astonished until the evening offering. ⁵ And at the evening offering I rise and fast and rip my clothes and my mantle: I bow on my knees and spread my palms to Yah Veh my Elohim,

¹² And also now - an oracle of Yah Veh you, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting and with weeping and with chopping: ¹³ and rip your heart and not your clothes; and turn to Yah Veh your Elohim: for he is charismatic and merciful slow to wrath and of great mercy; and he sighs concerning the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows? He returns; yes, he sighs: and leaves a blessing behind him - an offering and a libation to Yah Veh your Elohim. ¹⁵ Blast the shophar in Siyon! Hallow a fast! Call a private assembly! ¹⁶ Gather the people! Hallow the congregation! Gather the elders! Gather the sucklings! And they who suck the breasts! Have the bridegroom come from his chamber! And the bride from her canopy! ¹⁷ Have the priests, the ministers of Yah Veh, weep between the porch and the sacrifice altar; and have them say, Spare your people, O Yah Veh! And give not your inheritance to reproach so that the goyim reign over them! Why have them say among the people, Where is their Elohim? ¹⁸ And Yah Veh is jealous for his land and compassions his people:

⁵ So the men of Nineveh trust Elohim and call a fast and enrobe saq - from their greatest even to their lesser. ⁶ And word touches to the sovereign of Nineveh; and he rises from his throne and passes his mighty mantle from him and covers himself with saq and sits in ashes: ⁷ and he cries throughout Nineveh, saying by the taste of the sovereign and his nobles, saying, Neither humanity nor animal, herd nor flock, tastes aught: neither grazes, nor drinks water: ⁸ and humanity and animal covers with saq and calls out severely to Elohim: yes, every man turns from his evil way and from the violence in their palms. ⁹ Who knows? Perhaps Elohim turns and sighs - turns from his fuming wrath, and we destruct not! ¹⁰ And Elohim sees their works - that they turn from their evil way; and Elohim sighs of the evil he worded to work to them; and he works it not.

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:

⁶⁰ so that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh - the tent he tabernacled among humanity; ⁶¹ and gave his strength to captivity and his beauty into the hand of the tribulator;

¹
SEPARATION FROM YAH VEH
Behold, neither is the hand of Yah Veh shortened from saving nor his ear heavy from hearing:

¹² But come, I beseech, to my place in Shiloh, where I tabernacled my name at the first; and see what I worked to it at the face of the evil of my people Yisra El:

⁷ And when Phinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon the priest, sees it, he rises from among the witness and takes a javelin in his hand; ⁸ and he goes after the man of Yisra El into the belly and stabs the two of them through - the man of Yisra El and the woman into her belly: thus the plague restrains from the sons of Yisra El. ⁹ - and they who die in the plague, twenty-four thousand. ¹⁰ And Yah Veh words to Mosheh, saying, ¹¹ Phinechas the son of El Azar the son of Aharon the priest turns my fury from the sons of Yisra El, in envying over my envy among them, so that in my envy I not finish off the sons of Yisra El. ¹² So say, Behold, I give him my covenant of shalom: ¹³ and he and his seed after him - even the covenant of an eternal priesthood; because he envies for his Elohim and kapars/atones for the sons of Yisra El.

⁸ At that time Yah Veh separated the scion of Levi, to bear the ark of the of Yah Veh, to stand at the face of Yah Veh to minister to him and to bless in his name - to this day.

⁵ For Yah Veh your Elohim chose him from all your scions, to stand to minister in the name of Yah Veh - he and his sons all days.

⁷ And Yah Shua says, Aha, O Adonay Yah Veh, in passing, why pass this people over Yarden to give us into the hand of the Emoriy to destroy us? O that we had willed and settled on the other side Yarden!

¹³ and the sons of Yisra El send to the sons of Reu Ben and to the sons of Gad and to the half scion of Menash Sheh, in the land of Gilad, Pinechas the son of El Azar the priest;

³⁰ And when Pinechas the priest and the hierarchs of the witness and heads of the thousands of Yisra El with him hear the words the sons of Reu Ben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Menash Sheh word, it well-pleases their eyes. ³¹ And Pinechas the son of El Azar the priest says to the sons of Reu Ben and to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Menash Sheh, This day we perceive that Yah Veh is among us; because you treasoned not this treason against Yah Veh: then you have rescued the sons of Yisra El from the hand of Yah Veh. ³² And Pinechas the son of El Azar the priest and the hierarchs return from the sons of Reu Ben and from the sons of Gad from the land of Gilad to the land of Kenaan to the sons of Yisra El; and return them word:

³³ And El Azar the son of Aharon dies; and they entomb him in a hill of Pinechas his son, given him in mount Ephrayim.

² And Yah Veh says, Yah Hudah ascend: behold, I give the land into his hand.

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:

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.

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. ⁵ So David and his men go to Qeilah and fight the Peleshethiy and drive their chattel and smite them with a great stroke: thus David saves the settlers of Qeilah. ⁶
SHAUL PURSUES DAVID
And so be it, Abi Athar the son of Achiy Melech flees to David to Qeilah, and he descends with an ephod in his hand: ⁷ and they tell Shaul that David comes to Qeilah. And Shaul says, Elohim recognizes him into my hand; for he shut himself in by entering a city with doors and bars. ⁸ And Shaul hearkens all the people to war to descend to Qeilah to besiege David and his men. 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.

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!

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. ²⁰ And David comes to Baal Perasim, and David smites them there, and says, Yah Veh breaches my enemies at my face as the breach of waters: so he calls the name of that place Baal Perasim/Baal Breach. ²¹ And there they leave their idols, and David and his men lift them away: ²² and the Peleshethiy add to ascend and to disperse in the valley of Rephaim. ²³ And David asks of Yah Veh, and he says, Ascend not; but go around behind them, and come upon them opposite the weepers: 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.

³ And they ride the ark of Elohim on a new wagon; and lift it from the house of Abi Nadab in Gibah: and Uzzah and Achyo the sons of Abi Nadab drive the new wagon:

⁷ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Uzzah; and Elohim smites him there for his deception; and there he dies by the ark of Elohim. ⁸ And David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzzah: and he calls the name of the place Peres Uzzah/Breach of Strength to this day. ⁹ And David awes Yah Veh that day and says, How comes the ark of Yah Veh to me? ¹⁰ And David wills to not turn aside the ark of Yah Veh to him to the city of David: and David spreads it to the house of Obed Edom the Gittiy: ¹¹ and the ark of Yah Veh settles in the house of Obed Edom the Gittiy three months: and Yah Veh blesses Obed Edom and all his house. ¹² And they tell sovereign David, saying, Yah Veh blesses the house of Obed Edom and all he has because of the ark of Elohim. - and David goes and ascends the ark of Elohim from the house of Obed Edom to the city of David with cheerfulness.

¹⁷ Fight not in this: Set yourselves! Stand! See the salvation of Yah Veh with you, O Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: neither awe nor terrify: tomorrow go out at their face and Yah Veh is with you.

⁵ Confide in Yah Veh with all your heart and lean not to your own discernment: ⁶ in all your ways know him and he straightens your paths:

²³ O Yah Veh, I know that the way of humanity is not within humanity: it is not within man who walks to establish his paces.

⁴ And he misvahs them, saying, See, lurk against the city behind the city: go not mighty far from the city, and prepare - all of you:

³⁴ ten thousand chosen men of all Yisra El and come against Gibah; and the war is heavy: but they know not that evil touches them.

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 the men of Ay smite about thirty-six of their men: for they pursue them from the face of the portal to Shebarim; and smite them in the descent: and the hearts of the people melt and become as water.

¹⁴ And so be it, when the sovereign of Ay sees, they hasten and start early and the men of the city go out to meet Yisra El to war - he and all his people, at a season, at the face of the plain; but he knows not there are lurkers against him behind the city. ¹⁵ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El are as touched at their face; and flee by the way of the wilderness: ¹⁶ and all the people in Ay cry out to pursue them: and they pursue Yah Shua and tear away from the city.

¹³ And he says to his lad, Come and approach one of these places to stay overnight - in Gibah, or in Ramah. ¹⁴ And they pass on and go their way; and the sun goes down on them beside Gibah, which is to Ben Yamin:

²⁹ they pass over the passage: they take up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembles; Gibah of Shaul flees.

¹⁸ And Yah Veh says to Yah Shua, Spread the dart in your hand toward Ay; for I give it into your hand. - and Yah Shua spreads the dart in his hand toward Ay. ¹⁹ And the lurkers rise quickly from their place, and run as soon as he spreads his hand: and they enter the city and capture it; and hasten and burn the city with fire: ²⁰ and when the men of Ay face behind them, they see, and behold, the smoke of the city ascends to the heavens, and they have no hand to flee - here or there: and the people fleeing to the wilderness turn back against the pursuers. ²¹ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El see the lurkers capture the city and the smoke of the city ascending, they turn back and smite the men of Ay: ²² and the others come from the city to meet them; thus they are midst Yisra El - these on this side and those on that side: and they smite them, so that no escapee survives.

¹⁴ And so be it, when the sovereign of Ay sees, they hasten and start early and the men of the city go out to meet Yisra El to war - he and all his people, at a season, at the face of the plain; but he knows not there are lurkers against him behind the city.

¹³ they wear away - finish off their days in good; and in a blink, descend to sheol.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble.

⁶ In the rebellion of an evil man, there is a snare; and the just shout and cheer.

¹¹ Because sentencing an evil work works not quickly, the heart of the sons of humanity fully sets to work evil. ¹² Though a sinner works evil a hundred times and prolongs, yet surely I know that it is good with them who awe Elohim - who awe at his face:

¹² For even humanity knows not his time - as the fishes held in an evil lure as the birds held in the snare thus the sons of humanity, snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.

¹⁰ You, say to the just, It is for good: for they eat the fruit of their exploitations. ¹¹ Woe to the wicked - evil: for the dealing of his hands works to himself.

¹¹ And evil comes on you; you know not the dawn thereof: and calamity falls on you; you are not able to kapar/atone: and devastation comes on you suddenly which you know not.

⁴⁴ So you also, be prepared: for in such a hour as you think not the Son of humanity comes.

³⁴ And heed to yourselves, lest ever your hearts burden with hangovers and intoxication and anxieties of existence, so that day stands by you unawares.

³ For whenever they word, Shalom and security; then unexpected ruin stands over them - exactly as travail upon a woman having in womb; and they never no way escape.

⁴⁴ And eighteen thousand men of Ben Yamin fall - all men of valour: ⁴⁵ and they turn face and flee toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they glean five thousand of their men in the highways; and adhere after them to Gidom; and smite two thousand of their men: ⁴⁶ and all who fall that day of Ben Yamin - twenty-five thousand men who draw the sword - all men of valour.

⁵ that the shouting of the wicked is near? and the cheer of the profaner is for a blink?

¹⁵ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El are as touched at their face; and flee by the way of the wilderness: ¹⁶ and all the people in Ay cry out to pursue them: and they pursue Yah Shua and tear away from the city. ¹⁷ not a man survives in Ay or Beth El, who goes not after Yisra El: they leave the city open and pursue after Yisra El. ¹⁸ And Yah Veh says to Yah Shua, Spread the dart in your hand toward Ay; for I give it into your hand. - and Yah Shua spreads the dart in his hand toward Ay. ¹⁹ And the lurkers rise quickly from their place, and run as soon as he spreads his hand: and they enter the city and capture it; and hasten and burn the city with fire: ²⁰ and when the men of Ay face behind them, they see, and behold, the smoke of the city ascends to the heavens, and they have no hand to flee - here or there: and the people fleeing to the wilderness turn back against the pursuers. ²¹ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El see the lurkers capture the city and the smoke of the city ascending, they turn back and smite the men of Ay: ²² and the others come from the city to meet them; thus they are midst Yisra El - these on this side and those on that side: and they smite them, so that no escapee survives. ²³ And they apprehend the sovereign of Ay alive, and approach him to Yah Shua. ²⁴ And so be it, Yisra El finishes slaughtering all the settlers of Ay in the field - in the wilderness where they pursue them; - they all fall on the mouth of the sword; until they are consumed: and all the Yisra Eliy return to Ay and smite it with the mouth of the sword. ²⁵ And so be it, all who fall that day, both of men and women, are twelve thousand, all the men of Ay. ²⁶ For Yah Shua turned not back his hand wherewith he spread the spear, until he devoted all the settlers of Ay: ²⁷ only, the animals and the spoil of that city Yisra El plundered to themselves, according to the word Yah Veh misvahed Yah Shua. ²⁸ And Yah Shua burns Ay, and sets it a heap for eternity - a desolation to this day: ²⁹ and he hangs the sovereign of Ay on a tree until evening time: and as soon as the sun is down, Yah Shua misvahs them to bring his carcase down from the tree and cast it at the opening of the portal of the city; and raises thereon a great heap of stones, to this day.

¹³ no hand touches it, or in stoning, he is stoned; or in shooting, is shot: whether animal or man, it lives not. - when they prolong the jubilee, they ascend to the mount.

⁵ And so be it, when they draw on the jubilee horn, and when you hear the voice of the shophar, all the people shout a great shout; and the wall of the city falls under it, and the people ascend, each straight in front of him.

¹⁹ And the lurkers rise quickly from their place, and run as soon as he spreads his hand: and they enter the city and capture it; and hasten and burn the city with fire:

²¹ But I raise my covenant with Yischaq, whom Sarah births you at this season in the next year.

²⁰ and when the men of Ay face behind them, they see, and behold, the smoke of the city ascends to the heavens, and they have no hand to flee - here or there: and the people fleeing to the wilderness turn back against the pursuers.

¹⁶ And he says, About this season, according to the time of life, you embrace a son. And she says, No, my adoni, you man of Elohim; lie not to your maid.

³² And the sons of Ben Yamin say, They are smitten at our face, as at the first. But the sons of Yisra El say, We flee and tear them away from the city to the highways.

²⁸ and he looks at the face of Sedom and Amorah and at the face of all the land of the environs; and sees, and behold, the smoke of the land ascends as the smoke of a furnace.

⁶ Who is this ascending from the wilderness as columns of smoke? - incensed with myrrh and frankincense with all powders of the merchant?

³⁰
SIGNS OF OMENS
And I give omens in the heavens and in the earth - blood and fire and columns of smoke:

³ And secondly they say, Halalu Yah! - and her smoke ascends to the eons of the eons.

⁹ The enemy says, I pursue! I overtake! I allot the loot! My soul is filled of them: I draw my sword; my hand dispossesses them. ¹⁰ You puff your spirit/wind; the sea covers them: they sink as lead in the mighty waters.

⁸ and they terrify: pains and pangs take hold of them; they writhe as a woman birthing: every man marvels at friend - their faces as flames. ⁹ Behold, the day of Yah Veh comes - cruel - with both wrath and fuming wrath to set the land desolate: and he desolates the sinners from it.

¹⁴ The sinners in Siyon fear; trembling holds the profaners. Who among us sojourns with the consuming fire? Who among us sojourns with eternal burnings?

²⁷ they ate, they drank, they married, they married off until the day Noach entered the ark, and the cataclysm came and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Likewise also, so it became in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built:

²⁶ humanity breathing cold for awe, and awaiting those coming on the world: for the dynamis of the heavens become shaken. ^{Isaiah 13:9-13}

¹² And these, as physical irrational live beings, birthed to be captured and corrupted, blaspheme those in which they are unknowing; and corrupt in their own corruption;

¹⁵ And the sovereigns of the earth and the magistrates and the rich and the chiliarchs and the able and all the servants and all the liberated secrete themselves in the grottos and in the rocks of the mountains: ¹⁶ and word to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and secrete us from the face of him sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ because the mega day of his wrath is come; and who is able to stand?

⁸ For this her plagues come in one day - death and mourning and famine; and she utterly burns in fire: because mighty is Yah Veh Elohim who judges her. ⁹
SOVEREIGNS WEEP OVER THE FALL OF BABEL
And the sovereigns of the earth who whored and luxuriated with her, weep for her and chop over her when they see the smoke of her firing, ¹⁰ standing from afar for the awe of her torture, wording, Woe! Woe that megalopolis Babel! - that mighty city! because in one hour is your judgment iis come.

¹⁵ And Yah Shua and all Yisra El are as touched at their face; and flee by the way of the wilderness:

²⁴ And so be it, Yisra El finishes slaughtering all the settlers of Ay in the field - in the wilderness where they pursue them; - they all fall on the mouth of the sword; until they are consumed: and all the Yisra Eliy return to Ay and smite it with the mouth of the sword.

³ Yah Hudah is exiled because of humiliation and because of abundant servitude; she settles among the goyim, she finds no rest; all her pursuers overtake her between the straits.

³² and Lebaoth and Shilchim and Ayin and Rimmon. - all the cities with their courts are twenty-nine.

¹³ and the whole witness sends and words to the sons of Ben Yamin in the rock Rimmon, and calls shalom to them.

⁷⁷ To the sons of Merari who remain - from the rod of Zebulun: Rimmon with her suburbs Tabor with her suburbs,

¹⁰ All the land surrounds as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Yeru Shalem: and it lifts and settles in her place from the portal of Ben Yamin to the place of the first portal to the corner portal; and from the tower of Hanan El to the troughs of the sovereign.

⁹ He neither contends in perpetuity nor guards eternally: ¹⁰ he neither works with us after our sins nor deals with us according to our perversities.

⁹ Unless Yah Veh Sabaoth had a very few survivors remain, we had become as Sedom; likened to Amorah.

⁷ O Yah Veh, though our perversities answer against us, work this for sake of your name: for our apostasies abound by the myriads; we sin against you.

³² for though he grieves you, yet he mercies according to the abundance of his mercies:

² O Yah Veh, I hear your report, and awe: O Yah Veh, enliven your deeds midst the years, midst the years make known; in quivering, remember mercy.

¹⁵ in smiting, smite them who settle that city with the mouth of the sword; devote it and all therein and the animals thereof with the mouth of the sword: ¹⁶ and gather all the loot thereof midst the wideway thereof; and burn the city and all the loot thereof with fire - totally for Yah Veh your Elohim: and it becomes a heap for eternity; never to be built again. ¹⁷ And adhere naught of the devoted to your hand: so that Yah Veh turns from his fuming wrath and gives you mercies; and mercies you and abounds you, as he has oathed to your fathers

¹³ And the sons of the band of the troop whom Amaz Yah turned back to not go with him to war - they strip the cities of Yah Hudah - from Shomeron even to Beth Horon and smite three thousand of them and plunder much spoil.

⁶ And Peqach the son of Remal Yah slaughters in Yah Hudah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day - all sons of valour; because they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. ⁷ And Zichri, mighty of Ephrayim, slaughters Maase Yah the son of the sovereign and Ezri Qam the eminent of the house and El Qanah the second to the sovereign: ⁸ and the sons of Yisra El capture two hundred thousand of their brothers - women, sons and daughters: and also plunder much spoil from them and bring the spoil to Shomeron. ⁹ And a prophet of Yah Veh is there; his name, Oded: and he goes at the face of the host who come to Shomeron, and says to them, Behold, Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers in his fury with Yah Hudah gives them into your hand: slaughter them in a rage it touches to the heavens.

¹⁹ A brother rebelled against, is as a city of strength; and their contentions, as the bars of a citadel.
