¹
YAH VEH TESTS YISRA EL
These are the goyim Yah Veh set to test Yisra El by all who knew not all the wars of Kenaan; ² whom only, the generations of the sons of Yisra El know to teach them war; only, such as formerly knew them not; ³ five ringleaders of the Peleshethiy and all the Kenaaniy and the Sidoniy and the Hivviy who settle in mount Lebanon - from mount Baal Hermon to the entering in of Hamath: ⁴ to test Yisra El by them - to know whether they hearken to the misvoth of Yah Veh which he misvahed their fathers by the hand of Mosheh. ⁵ And the sons of Yisra El settle among the Kenaaniy Hethiy and Emoriy and Perizziy and Hivviy and Yebusiy: ⁶ and they take their daughters to be their women and give their daughters to their sons and serve their elohim. ⁷
JUDGE OTHNI EL
And the sons of Yisra El work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and forget Yah Veh their Elohim and serve the baalim and the asherim. ⁸ And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El and sells them into the hand of Kushan Rishathaim sovereign of Aram Naharaim: and the sons of Yisra El serve Kushan Rishathaim eight years. ⁹ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh and Yah Veh raises a saviour to the sons of Yisra El who saves them - Othni El the son of Qenaz the younger brother of Kaleb. ¹⁰ And the Spirit of Yah Veh comes on him and he judges Yisra El and goes to war: and Yah Veh gives Kushan Rishathaim sovereign of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevails against Kushan Rishathaim: ¹¹ and the land rests forty years: and Othni El the son of Qenaz dies. ¹²
YISRA EL IN SERVITUDE
And the sons of Yisra El add to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: and Yah Veh strengthens Eglon the sovereign of Moab against Yisra El because they work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh. ¹³ And he gathers to himself the sons of Ammon and Amaleq; and goes and smites Yisra El and possesses Ir Hat Temarim. ¹⁴ - and the sons of Yisra El serve Eglon the sovereign of Moab eighteen years. 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; ¹⁶ and Ehud works a sword of two edges; a span long; and he girds it under his tailoring on his right flank. ¹⁷ And he oblates the offering to Eglon sovereign of Moab - Eglon is a mighty fat man. ¹⁸ And when he finishes oblating the offering he sends away the people who bear the offering. ¹⁹ But he himself turns from the sculptiles by Gilgal and says, I have a covert word to you, O sovereign. He says, Hush! - and all who stand by him go from him. ²⁰ And Ehud comes to him; and he settles in an upper room of cooling which he has for himself alone. And Ehud says, I have a word from Elohim to you! - and he rises from his throne. ²¹ And Ehud sends his left and takes the sword from his right flank and stakes it into his belly: ²² and the handle also goes in after the blade; and the fat shuts through the blade so that he cannot draw the sword from his belly; and it comes out at the anus. ²³ Then Ehud goes through the portico and shuts the doors of the upper room on him and encloses them. ²⁴ And he goes, and his servants come; and they see, behold, the doors of the upper room are enclosed, they say, Surely he covers his feet in his cooling chamber. ²⁵ And they wait until they shame: and behold, he opens not the doors of the upper room; and they take the key and open: and behold, their adoni fallen down on the earth - dead. ²⁶ And as they linger Ehud escapes and passes beyond the sculptiles and escapes to Seirah: ²⁷ and so be it, when he comes, he blasts a shophar in the mountain of Ephrayim and the sons of Yisra El descend the mount with him - with him at their face. ²⁸ And he says to them, Pursue after me: for Yah Veh gives your enemies the Moabiy into your hand. - and they descend after him and capture the passages of Yarden toward Moab and allow not a man to pass over. ²⁹ And at that time they smite about ten thousand men of Moab - all fat - all men of valour; and not a man escapes. ³⁰ So Moab is subdued that day under the hand of Yisra El. - and the land rests eighty years. ³¹
SHAMGAR
And after him, Shamgar the son of Anath, who smites six hundred men of the Peleshethiy with an ox goad: and he also saves Yisra El.

²² And Yah Veh your Elohim plucks those goyim from your face bit by bit: you are not able to finish them off suddenly lest the live beings of the field abound on you:

² and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth:

¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not - to humble you and to test you - to well-please you at your latter end;

¹⁰
THE NEW GENERATIONS SERVE BAALIM
And all that generation also gathers to their fathers: and another generation rises after them who neither know Yah Veh nor the works he worked for Yisra El:

²¹ I also add to not dispossess from their face any man of the goyim Yah Shua left when he died: ²² and through them, I test Yisra El, whether they guard the way of Yah Veh to walk therein as their fathers guarded, or not.

³¹ And thus, by the interpreters of the governors of Babel, who send to him to enquire of the omen in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that is in his heart.

¹⁰ For he knows my way; he proofs me; I come forth as gold.

³ The crucible for silver; the furnace for gold; and Yah Veh proofs the hearts.

²⁷ I give you for a tower and a fortress among my people, so that you know and proof their way.

⁹ The heart is crooked above all and incurable: who knows it? ¹⁰ I Yah Veh probe the heart; proof the reins; even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his exploitations.

⁹ and I bring the third through the fire and refine them as the refining of silver, and proof them as the proofing of gold: they call on my name, and I answer them: I say, My people: and they say, Yah Veh, My Elohim.

²⁴ and Yah Shua entrusts not himself to them because he knows all;

⁷ that the proofing of your trust: being much more precious than gold that destructs: though being proofed through fire be found unto halal and honor and glory at the apocalypse of Yah Shua Messiah:

¹²
TESTINGS OF FIRE
Beloved, it is not strange concerning the firing in you, to test you, as though somewhat strange becomes you:

²³ and I slaughter her children in death: so that all the ecclesiae knows that I AM: who searches the reins and hearts: and I give to each of you according to your works.

¹⁷ and of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, eat not: for in the day you eat thereof, in dying, you die.

⁵ for Elohim knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes open and you, being as Elohim, know good and evil.

⁷ And the eyes of the two open and they know they are naked; and they sew fig leaves together and work themselves girdles.

⁸ but they become his servants; so that they know my service and the service of the sovereigndoms of the lands.

³⁴ Presume not that I come to put shalom on earth: I come not to put shalom - but a sword. ³⁵ For I come to alienate a human against his father and the daughter against her mother and the bride against her mother in law: ³⁶ and the foes of a human are they of his own household. ³⁷ Whoever befriends father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and whoever befriends son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me: ³⁸ and whoever takes not his stake and follows after me is not worthy of me. ³⁹
THE SOUL
Whoever finds his soul loses it; and whoever loses his soul for my sake finds it:

³³ I speak these to you that you have shalom in me. In the cosmos you have tribulation: but, Courage! I triumph over the cosmos.

²⁶ So thus I run - not as uncertainly; thus I fistfight - not as one flogging the air: ²⁷ but I subdue my body and bring it to servitude: lest somehow, having preached to others, I myself become disapproved.

¹¹
THE PANOPLY OF ELOHIM
Endue the whole panoply of Elohim, to be able to stand against the methods of Diabolos. ¹² For we quiver not against flesh and blood, but against hierarchies, against authorities, against the cosmic powers of the darkness of this eon, against spiritual evil in the heavenlies. ¹³ So take to yourselves the whole panoply of Elohim, to be able to withstand in the evil day and having worked all, stand. ¹⁴ So stand; gird your loins in truth and endue the breastplate of justness: ¹⁵ and bind your feet in the preparation of the evangelism of shalom: ¹⁶ above all, take the shield of the trust, whereby you can quench all the fiery missiles of the evil: ¹⁷ and receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema of Elohim: ¹⁸ praying in all seasons through all prayer and petition in Spirit and watching thereto in all perseverance and petition for all the holy;

¹² agonize the good agony of the trust, take hold on eternal life - to which you were also called, and professed a good profession in sight of many witnesses.

³ So endure hardship as a good warrior of Yah Shua Messiah.

⁷ I agonized a good agony; I completed/shalamed my race; I guarded the trust:

¹⁵ And Kenaan births Sidon his firstborn firstbirthed and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Yebusiy and the Emoriy and the Girgashiy ¹⁷ and the Hivviy and the Arqiy and the Siniy ¹⁸ and the Arvadiy and the Semariy and the Hamathiy: and afterward the families of the Kenaaniy scatter. ¹⁹ And the border of the Kenaaniy is from Sidon, as you come to Gerar, to Azzah; as you go to Sedom and Amorah and Admah and Seboim, to Lesha.

¹³ Zebulun: he tabernacles at the haven of the sea: and he is for a haven of ships; and his flank is to Sidon.

²⁹ the Amaleqiy settle in the land of the south: and the Hethiy and the Yebusiy and the Emoriy settle in the mountains: and the Kenaaniy settle by the sea and by the hand of Yarden.

⁸ - survey from mount Hor to the entrance of Hamath; and the exits of the border are to Sedad:

⁷ turn your face and pull stakes and go to the mount of the Emoriy and to all the tabernacles nearby - in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowlands and in the south and by the sea haven, to the land of the Kenaaniy and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.

⁹ - which Hermon the Sidoniy called Sirion; and the Emoriy called Shenir;

³ and to the Kenaaniy from the rising and seaward; and to the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Yebusiy in the mountains; and to the Hivviy under Hermon in the land of Mispeh:

⁸ and Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El who smites them and pursues them to great Sidon and to Misrephoth Mayim and to the valley of Mispeh from the rising; they smite them until no survivors survive: ⁹ and Yah Shua works to them as Yah Veh said to him: he hamstrings their horses and burns their chariots with fire. ¹⁰ And at that time, Yah Shua turns back and captures Hasor; and smites the sovereign thereof with the sword: for formerly Hasor was the head of all those sovereigndoms. ¹¹ And they smite all the souls therein with the mouth of the sword - devoting them - no survivor having breath: and he burns Hasor with fire: ¹² and Yah Shua captures all the cities of those sovereigns and all their sovereigns, and smites them with the mouth of the sword - devoting them as Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed. ¹³ And Yisra El burns none of the cities standing by their heap - except Hasor only, Yah Shua burns:

³ - from Shichor at the face of Misrayim to the borders of Eqron northward - fabricated to the Kenaaniy: five ringleaders of the Peleshethiy; the Azzahiy and the Ashdodiy the Ashqeloniy the Gittiy and the Eqroniy - also the Avviy;

⁵ the land of the Gibliy and all Lebanon; from the rising sun - from Baal Gad under mount Hermon to the entering to Hamath:

²⁸ and Ebron and Rechob and Hammon and Qanah to great Sidon;

² and Yah Veh sells them into the hand of Yabyn sovereign of Kenaan, who reigns in Hasor - Sisera is governor of his host - who settles by Harosheth/Engravers of the Goyim.

²³ And that day, Elohim subdues Yabyn the sovereign of Kenaan at the face of the sons of Yisra El. ²⁴ And in going, the hand of the sons of Yisra El goes - goes hard against Yabyn the sovereign of Kenaan, until they cut off Yabyn sovereign of Kenaan.

⁷ And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El; and he sells them into the hands of the Peleshethiy and into the hands of the sons of Ammon:

¹² and the Sidoniy and Amaleq and Maon you were oppressed; and you cried to me and I saved you from their hand:

⁴ - and his father and his mother know not that it is of Yah Veh to seek an occasion against the Peleshethiy: at that time the Peleshethiy reign over Yisra El.

⁷
THE SCION OF THE DANIY COME TO LAISH
Then the five men go and come to Laish and see the people within - how they settle confidently after the judgment of the Sidoniy - rested and confident; and there is no restrainer in the land to shame them in word; and they are far from the Sidoniy and have no word with humanity:

¹ and the word of Shemu El comes to all Yisra El.
THE ARK CAPTURED
And Yisra El goes out to meet the Peleshethiy to war and encamps beside Eben Ezer; and the Peleshethiy encamp in Apheq; ² and the Peleshethiy line up to meet Yisra El: and they allow war and the Peleshethiy smite Yisra El at their face: and they smite about four thousand men of the ranks in the field:

¹⁸ and the golden mice: for the number of all the cities of the Peleshethiy belonging to the five ringleaders of fortified cities and of villages of the suburbs even to the great Abel; whereon they descend the ark of Yah Veh: to this day in the field of Yah Shua the Beth Shemeshiy.

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.

¹⁹ Now they find no artificer throughout all the land of Yisra El: for the Peleshethiy say, Lest the Hebrews work swords or spears: ²⁰ and all the Yisra Eliy descend to the Peleshethiy and every man sharpens his share and his plowshare and his ax and his pick; ²¹ and have a file with mouths for the mattocks and for the plowshares and for the triple forks and for the axes and to station the goads. 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: ²³ and the standing camp of the Peleshethiy go out to the passage of Michmash.

² and the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy pass on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men pass on afterward with Achish.

²⁵ And he cries to Yah Veh; and Yah Veh points out a tree which he casts into the waters - and the waters sweeten: and there he sets a statute and a judgment for them and there he tests them:

⁸ And of Levi he says, Your Thummim and your Urim be with your men of mercy, whom you tested at Massah/Testing and with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah/Strife:

²² and through them, I test Yisra El, whether they guard the way of Yah Veh to walk therein as their fathers guarded, or not.

¹
YAH VEH TESTS YISRA EL
These are the goyim Yah Veh set to test Yisra El by all who knew not all the wars of Kenaan;

¹⁹ For there must also be heresies among you, so that those approved become manifest among you.

⁹ - whose parousia is after the energizing of Satan in all dynamis and signs and lying omens, ¹⁰ and in all delusion of injustice in them who destruct: for they receive not the love of the truth to save them. ¹¹ And for this cause Elohim sends them an energized seduction so that they trust a lie: ¹² to judge all who trust not the truth, who well-approve injustice.

¹⁵ And Kenaan births Sidon his firstborn firstbirthed and Heth, ¹⁶ and the Yebusiy and the Emoriy and the Girgashiy ¹⁷ and the Hivviy and the Arqiy and the Siniy ¹⁸ and the Arvadiy and the Semariy and the Hamathiy: and afterward the families of the Kenaaniy scatter.

¹⁹ the Qeyniy and the Qenaziy and the Qadmoniy ²⁰ and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Rephaim ²¹ and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Girgashiy and the Yebusiy.

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;

¹⁷ and I say, I ascend you from the humiliation of Misrayim to the land of the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - to a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹
THE TORAH ON MINGLING When Yah Veh your Elohim brings you to the land where you go, to possess it, and plucks many goyim from your face - the Hethiy and the Girgashiy and the Emoriy and the Kenaaniy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy - seven goyim greater and mightier than you;

¹
PEOPLES UNITE AGAINST YAH SHUA AND YISRA EL And so be it, all the sovereigns on this side Yarden - in the mountains and in the lowlands and in all the havens of the great sea toward Lebanon - the Hethiy and the Emoriy the Kenaaniy the Perizziy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy hear thereof;

²⁹ And Ephrayim dispossesses not the Kenaaniy who settle in Gezer; and the Kenaaniy settle in Gezer among them. ³⁰ Zebulun dispossesses neither the settlers of Qitron nor the settlers of Nahalol; and the Kenaaniy settle among them and become their vassals. ³¹ Asher dispossesses neither the settlers of Akko nor the settlers of Sidon nor of Ach Lab nor of Achzib nor of Helbah nor of Aphek nor of Rechob: ³² and the Asheriy settle among the Kenaaniy the settlers of the land: for they dispossess them not.

⁸ and found his heart amenable at your face and cut a covenant with him to give the land of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Yebusiy and the Girgashiy - to give to his seed; and to raise your words; for you are just:

³⁴ they desolated not the people, concerning whom Yah Veh had said to them; ³⁵ but mingled among the goyim and learned their works; ³⁶ and served their idols - a snare to them: ³⁷ yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, ³⁸ and poured innocent blood - the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kenaan: and profaned the land with blood.

¹⁶ and you take of their daughters to your sons and their daughters whore after their elohim and make your sons whore after their elohim.

³ neither intermarry with them; nor give your daughter to his son, nor take his daughter to your son. ⁴ For he turns aside your son from following me to serve other elohim: so that Yah Veh kindles his wrath against you and destroys you suddenly.

¹
THE WOMEN OF SHELOMOH
And sovereign Shelomoh loves many strange women together with the daughter of Paroh: women of the Moabiy, Ammoniy, Edomiy, Sidoniy and Hethiy, ² of the goyim - of which Yah Veh says to the sons of Yisra El, Neither go in to them, nor them come in to you: for surely they pervert your heart after their elohim - Shelomoh adheres to these in love: ³ and he has seven hundred women governesses and three hundred concubines: and his women pervert his heart. ⁴ And so be it, at the time Shelomoh ages, his women pervert his heart after other elohim: and his heart is not at shalom with Yah Veh his Elohim as the heart of David his father: ⁵ and Shelomoh goes after Ashtoreth the elohim of the Sidoniy; and after Milchom the abomination of the Ammoniy:

¹¹ which you misvahed by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land you go to possess, is a land of exclusion of the people of the lands with their abhorrences who filled it from mouth to mouth with their foulness. ¹² And now, neither give your daughters to their sons, nor bear their daughters to your sons, nor seek their shalom or their goodness eternally: that you strengthen and eat the good of the land for your sons to possess eternally.

²³ Also in those days I see that the Yah Hudiym settle with women of Ashdodiy, of Ammoniy and of Moabiy: ²⁴ and their sons word half in the speech of Ashdod and recognize not to word in Yah Hudaic, but according to the language of people by people. ²⁵ And I contend with them and abase them and smite men of them and balden them and have them oath by Elohim, saying, Neither give your daughters to their sons nor bear their daughters to your sons or for yourselves. ²⁶ Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El - sinned he not by these? Yet among many goyim there is no sovereign like him - beloved of his Elohim; and Elohim gave him sovereign over all Yisra El: and strange women caused even him to sin. ²⁷ And hearken we to you to work all this great evil - to treason against our Elohim in settling with strange women?

³ and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy:

¹³ but pull down their sacrifice altars, break their monoliths and cut down their asherim:

⁹ Only guard yourself and guard your soul mightily, lest you forget the words your eyes saw; and lest they turn aside from your heart all the days of your life: but teach them to your sons and the sons of your sons.

²¹ Neither plant an asherah of any trees beside the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh your Elohim which you work,

¹¹ and the sons of Yisra El work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and serve Baalim: ¹² and they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers who brought them from the land of Misrayim: and they go after other elohim - of the elohim of the people all around them; and prostrate themselves to them, and vex Yah Veh: ¹³ and they forsake Yah Veh and serve Baal and Ashtaroth.

¹²
YISRA EL IN SERVITUDE
And the sons of Yisra El add to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: and Yah Veh strengthens Eglon the sovereign of Moab against Yisra El because they work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh.

²⁵ And so be it, the same night, Yah Veh says to him, Take the young steer ox of your father and the second bullock of seven years; and demolish the sacrifice altar of Baal of your father and cut down the asherah by it:

³³ and Ach Ab works an asherah; and Ach Ab adds to work to vex Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El above all the sovereigns of Yisra El at their face.

¹⁹ and now send; gather all Yisra El to me to mount Karmel and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty and the prophets of the asherim four hundred who eat at the table of Iy Zebel.

⁶ and he brings the asherah from the house of Yah Veh to outside Yeru Shalem to the wadi Qidron; and burns it at the wadi Qidron and pulverized it to dust; and casts the dust thereof on the tombs of the sons of the people:

¹⁴ and he breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and fills their places with bones of humans:

¹⁶ And also Maachah turns aside the mother of Asa the sovereign from being lady; because she works an idol of awe in an asherah: and Asa cuts down her idol of awe and pulverizes and burns it at the wadi Qidron:

¹⁸ and they forsake the house of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers and serve asherim and idols; and rage comes upon Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem for this their guilt:

³ and he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father pulled down; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baalim and works asherim; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them;

¹⁹ and his prayer and his entreaty and all his sins and his treason; and the places he built bamahs and stood asherim and sculptiles at the face of his being humbled: behold, they are inscribed among the words of seers/Hozay.

³ And in the eighth year of his reign - he is still a lad he begins to seek after the Elohim of David his father: and in the twelfth year he begins to purify Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem from the bamahs and the asherim and the sculptiles and the molten:

⁷ and he pulls down the sacrifice altars and the asherim; and crushes and pulverizes the sculptiles; and cuts down all the sun icons throughout all the land of Yisra El: and he returns to Yeru Shalem.

²⁴ and I kindle my wrath and slaughter you with the sword; that your women become widows and your sons orphans.

²⁰ Yah Veh wills to not forgive him; for then the wrath and the jealousy of Yah Veh fumes against that man; and all the oaths inscribed in this scroll crouch upon him; and Yah Veh wipes his name from under the heavens:

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

¹⁴ And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El and he gives them into the hands of plunderers who plunder them; and he sells them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they cannot stand at the face of their enemies.

²⁰ And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El; and he says, Because this goyim trespasses my covenant which I misvahed their fathers; and hearken not to my voice;

⁹ And she says, In walking, I walk with you: finally, the journey you walk is not for your adornment; for Yah Veh sells Sisera into the hand of a woman. - and Deborah rises and goes with Baraq to Qedesh.

⁹ and they forgot Yah Veh their Elohim, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera governor of the host of Hasor and into the hand of the Peleshethiy and into the hand of the sovereign of Moab; and they fought against them:

¹ To His Eminence; On Strummer; On Octave; A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, neither reprove me in your wrath, nor discipline me in your fury.

³ You took away all your fury; you turned from the fuming of your wrath.

¹
THE SIN OF YISRA EL
Thus says Yah Veh, Where is the scroll of divorcement of your mother whom I sent away? Or to which of my exactors have I sold you? Behold, for your perversities you sold yourselves, and for your rebellions is your mother sent away.

⁷ I see the tents of Kushan in mischief: the curtains of the land of Midyan quiver.

¹⁴ For we know the torah is spiritual: and I am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹³ - and Othni El the son of Qenaz the younger brother of Kaleb captures it; and he gives him Achsah his daughter to woman.

¹⁶
YAH VEH RAISES JUDGES
And Yah Veh raises judges who save them from the hand of their plunderers;

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;

³ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh: for he has nine hundred chariots of iron; and he strongly oppresses the sons of Yisra El twenty years.

⁷
GIDON
And so be it, the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh because of Midyan;

¹⁰ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh, saying, We sin against you because we forsake our Elohim and serve Baalim.

¹⁰ and they cried to Yah Veh and said, We sinned, because we forsook Yah Veh and served Baalim and Ashtaroth: and now, rescue us from the hand of our enemies and we serve you.

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:

⁵ they cried to you and escaped; they confided in you and shamed not.

³⁴ When he slaughters them, then they seek him - return and seek early after El;

⁴¹ and he gave them into the hand of the goyim: and they who hated them reigned over them: ⁴² their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. ⁴³ Many times he rescued them; but they rebelled with their counsel and they are subdued in their perversity. ⁴⁴ He saw their tribulation when he heard their shouting;

¹³ And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he saves them from their distresses: ¹⁴ he brings them from darkness and the shadow of death; and tears their bands. ¹⁵ Spread hands to Yah Veh for his mercy and for his marvels to the sons of humanity! ¹⁶ For he broke the doors of copper and cut the bars of iron. ¹⁷ Fools by way of their rebellion and by way of their perversities are humbled: ¹⁸ their soul abhors all their food; and they touch to the portals of death. ¹⁹ And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation; he saves them from their distresses:

¹⁷ and I descend and word with you there: and I set aside of the spirit on you and put it on them to bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone:

²⁵ And Yah Veh descends in a cloud and words to him and sets aside of the spirit on him and gives it to the seventy men - elders: and so be it, when the spirit rests on them, they prophesy, but never again.

²⁹ And Mosheh says to him, Envy you for my sake? O to give that all the people of Yah Veh be prophets and that Yah Veh give his spirit on them!

² and Bilam lifts his eyes and sees Yisra El tabernacling by their scions; and the spirit of Elohim comes on him:

¹⁸ And Yah Veh says to Mosheh, Take Yah Shua the son of Nun, a man in whom the Spirit is and prop your hand on him;

³⁴ And the Spirit of Yah Veh enrobes Gidon and he blasts a shophar; and Abi Ezer cries after him:

²⁹ and the Spirit of Yah Veh comes on Yiphtach: and he passes over Gilad and Menash Sheh and passes over Mispeh of Gilad; and from Mispeh of Gilad he passes over the sons of Ammon.

²⁵ and at times, the Spirit of Yah Veh begins to agitate him in the camp of Dan between Sorah and Eshtaol.

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.

¹⁹ And the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers over him; and he descends to Ashqelon and smites thirty of their men; and takes their clothes and gives the changes to them who tell the riddle. And he kindles his wrath and he ascends to the house of his father.

⁶ and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers on you and you prophesy with them and turn into another man.

⁶ and the Spirit of Elohim prospers on Shaul when he hears those words and kindles his wrath mightily;

¹³ Then Shemu El takes the horn of oil, and anoints him midst his brothers: and the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers on David from that day onward. - and Shemu El rises and goes to Ramah.

¹
AZAR YAH AT THE FACE OF ASA
And the Spirit of Elohim comes on Azar Yah the son of Oded:

¹⁴ and the Spirit of Yah Veh comes upon Yachazi El the son of Zechar Yah the son of Bena Yah the son of Yei El the son of Mattan Yah - a Leviy of the sons of Asaph midst the congregation;

¹¹ Neither cast me from your face; nor take your holy spirit from me:

⁴
DISTINCTIONS OF CHARISMATA, MINISTRIES, AND ENERGIZINGS
And there are distinctions of charismata and the same Spirit: ⁵ and there are distinctions of ministries and the same Adonay: ⁶ and there are distinctions of energizings and the same Elohim who energizes all in all. ⁷
DISTRIBUTIONS OF SPIRITUALS
And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each to benefit: ⁸ for indeed to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge in the same Spirit; ⁹ to another trust in the same Spirit; to another the charismata of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ to another the energizings of dynamis; to another prophecy; to another discernments of spirits; to another genos of tongues; to another the translation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these energize the one and the selfsame Spirit, distributing to each his own, exactly as he wills. ^{Romans 12:3-8}

⁴
FALLING AWAY
For it is impossible for those once enlightened, and tasted of the gratuity of the heavenlies, and became partakers of Holy Spirit,

²³ So Yah Shua takes the whole land, according to all Yah Veh worded to Mosheh; and Yah Shua gives it to Yisra El for an inheritance according to their allotment by their scions. - and the land rests from war.

¹⁷ - and Othni El the son of Qenaz, the brother of Kaleb, captures it: and he gives him Achsah his daughter to woman.

⁹ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh and Yah Veh raises a saviour to the sons of Yisra El who saves them - Othni El the son of Qenaz the younger brother of Kaleb.

³⁰ So Moab is subdued that day under the hand of Yisra El. - and the land rests eighty years.

³¹ Thus all your enemies destruct, O Yah Veh: but they who love him are as the sun when he goes in his might. - and the land rests forty years.

²⁸
SUMMARY
Thus he subdues Midyaniy at the face of the sons of Yisra El so that they add not to lift their heads; and the land rests forty years in the days of Gidon.

¹³ And the sons of Qenaz: Othni El and Sera Yah. And the sons of Othni El: Hathath.

²² as the days wherein the Yah Hudiym rested from their enemies; and the month which turned them from grief to cheer and from mourning to a good day; to work them days of banqueting and cheer and of sending portions man to friend and gifts to the needy.

¹⁶ And yet, for this I stood you, so as to have you see my force; and to scribe my name throughout all the earth.

¹¹ and the sons of Yisra El work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and serve Baalim:

¹⁹ And so be it, at the death of the judge, they return, more ruinous than their fathers, by going after other elohim to serve them and to prostrate to them; they neither fall from their exploits nor from their hard way.

¹
ELI SHUA HEALS NAAMAN
And Naaman governor of the host of the sovereign of Aram is a great man at the face of his adoni; accepted by face, because by him Yah Veh gave salvation to Aram: he is also a mighty man in valour - a leper.

¹⁵ Boasts the ax over him who hews therewith? Or greatens the rasp over him who shakes it? - as a scion shakes them who lift it? Or as a rod lifts itself with no timber?

²⁶ Heard you not in the distant past, that I worked it? Of ancient days, that I formed it? now I bring it to become, for you to waste fortified cities into desolate heaps.

¹
KORESH, THE ANOINTED OF YAH VEH
Thus says Yah Veh to his anointed, to Koresh, whose right I strengthened, to subdue goyim at his face; yes, to loose the loins of sovereigns, in opening, to open the doors at his face; and not shut the portals: ² I go at your face and straighten the esteemed: I break in pieces the gates of copper and cut apart the bars of iron: ³ and I give you the treasures of darkness and hidden treasures of coverts so that you know, I - Yah Veh, who calls you by your name, Elohim of Yisra El. ⁴ For sake of my servant Yaaqov and Yisra El my chosen, I even call you by your name: I give you an honorary degree, though you know me not.

¹⁶ and you ascend against my people of Yisra El as a cloud to cover the land; and so be it in the latter days, I bring you against my land, so that the goyim know me when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, in front of their eyes.

²² it is you, O sovereign, who greatens and empowers: for your greatness greatens and spreads to the heavens, and your dominion to the consummation of the earth.

¹⁸ You, O sovereign, Elyon Elah gave Nebukadnets Tsar your father a sovereigndom and greatness and esteem and majesty:

⁴
THE RESPONSE OF YAH VEH
O Ephrayim, what work I to you? O Yah Hudah, what work I to you? For your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew, goes away.

¹¹ Yah Shua answers, You have no authority at all against me, unless given you from above: so whoever delivered me to you has the greater sin.

³ and the south and the environs of the valley of Yericho the city of palm trees /Ir Hat Temarim to Soar.

¹⁶ And the sons of the Qayiniy, father in law of Mosheh, ascend from Ir Hat Temarim with the sons of Yah Hudah into the wilderness of Yah Hudah in the south of Arad; and they come and settle among the people.

¹⁴ From Ephrayim, their root is against Amaleq; after you, Ben Yamin, among your people; from Machir the statute setters descend; and from Zebulun they who draw with the scion of the scribe.

⁶ - the tents of Edom and the Yishma Eliym, of Moab and the Hagariym, ⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amaleq, the Peleshethiym with the settlers of Sor

²³ And if by these, you are not disciplined by me, and walk contrary to me, ²⁴ then I also walk contrary to you and smite you yet seven for your sins: ²⁵ and I bring a sword on you to avenge the avenging of my covenant: and when you gather to your cities, I send the pestilence among you; that you become given into the hand of the enemy:

⁴⁰ you have olives throughout all your borders, but you anoint not with the oil; for your olive slips:

⁴⁷ because you serve not Yah Veh your Elohim with cheerfulness and with goodness of heart for the abundance of all ⁴⁸ - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you:

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.

²⁷ And the sons of Beli Yaal say, How - this man save us? And they despise him and bring no offerings. But he hushes.

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.

¹⁵ call on me in the day of tribulation: I rescue you and you honor me.

¹⁵ cheer us according to the days you humbled us and the years we saw evil;

¹⁶ The gift of a human enlarges him - leads him at the face of the great.

⁶ Many stroke the face of the volunteer; and all are a friend of a man of gifts.

¹⁴ A covert gift tames wrath; and a bribe in the bosom, strong fury.

¹⁶ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me and every man eat of his vine and every man of his fig tree; and every man drink the waters of his own well;

¹² And you, call on me; and come and pray to me; and I hearken to you: ¹³ and you, seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart:

³ Call to me, and I answer you and tell you great and fortified which you know not.

²¹ And Ehud sends his left and takes the sword from his right flank and stakes it into his belly:

³ Gird your sword on your flank, O mighty, with your glory and your majesty:

⁶ the exaltation of El is in their throat and a sword of teeth in their hand

⁸ They all hold swords; taught in war; every man with his sword on his flank because of dread in the night.

¹² For the word of Elohim is living and energized and sharper than any double-mouthed sword, thoroughly penetrating to the parting of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow: and is a discerner of the deliberation and mind of the heart. ^{Isaiah 49:2}

¹⁶ And having seven stars in his right hand: and a sharp double-mouthed sabre proceeding from his mouth: and his visage manifests as the sun in its dynamis.

¹²
THE THIRD SCRIBING
And to the angel of the ecclesia in Pergamos, scribe: Thus words he who has the sharp double-mouthed sabre:

²⁹ And at that time they smite about ten thousand men of Moab - all fat - all men of valour; and not a man escapes.

²⁹ Why trample you at my sacrifice and at my offering which I misvah in my habitation? - and honor your sons above me to cut the firstlings of all the offerings of Yisra El my people?

²⁷ because he covers his face with fat and works his flanks plump;

⁷ their eyes stand out with fat; they surpass the imagination of the heart:

¹⁹ how they become a desolation - as in a blink! in consuming, they are consumed with terrors.

²⁸ they fatten; they shine: yes, they overpass the words of the evil: they plead not the cause - the cause of the orphan, yet they prosper; and the judgment of the needy they judge not.

¹¹ because you cheer - because you jump for joy O you plunderers of my inheritance, because you grow fat as the heifer at grass and resound as the mighty;

²⁰ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh to them; Behold, I - I judge between the fat lambs and between the emaciated lambs:

¹
YOSEPH REVEALS HIS IDENTITY And Yoseph cannot refrain himself in front of all who station themselves by him; and he calls, Have every man go out from me! And no man stands with him, as Yoseph has his brothers know who he is:

²⁰ and those twelve stones they took from Yarden, Yah Shua raises in Gilgal.

²⁰ And Ehud comes to him; and he settles in an upper room of cooling which he has for himself alone. And Ehud says, I have a word from Elohim to you! - and he rises from his throne.

⁵ and he comes, and behold, the governors of the valiant settle there; and he says, I have a word to you, O captain. And Yah Hu says, To whom of all of us? And he says, To you, O governor. ⁶ And he rises and goes into the house; and pours the oil on his head and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anoint you sovereign over the people of Yah Veh - over Yisra El:

¹⁸ So indeed he takes him, and brings him to the chiliarch, and says, Paulos the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this youth to you - who has somewhat to speak to you. ¹⁹ And the chiliarch takes him by the hand, and withdraws privately, and asks him, What have you to evangelize to me?

¹⁹ But he himself turns from the sculptiles by Gilgal and says, I have a covert word to you, O sovereign. He says, Hush! - and all who stand by him go from him.

¹
NATHAN REBUKES DAVID
And Yah Veh sends Nathan to David: and he comes to him and says to him, Two men are in one city - the one rich and the one impoverished: ² the rich has mighty abundant flocks and oxen; ³ but the impoverished has naught - except one little ewe lamb which he chatteled and livened: and it grows together with him and with his sons: it eats of his own morsel and drinks of his own cup and lies down in his bosom as his daughter. ⁴ And a wayfarer comes to the rich man; and he spares to take of his own flock and of his own oxen, to work for the caravan that comes to him: but takes the ewe lamb of the impoverished man and works it for the man who comes to him. 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: ⁶ and have him shalam fourfold for the ewe lamb because he works this word, and finally, has no compassion. ⁷ And Nathan says to David, You are the man! Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anointed you sovereign over Yisra El and I rescued you from the hand of Shaul; ⁸ and I give you the house of your adoni and the women of your adoni into your bosom and give you the house of Yisra El and of Yah Hudah; and if that be too little, I had added these and those to you. ⁹ Why despise you the word of Yah Veh to work evil in his eyes? You smote Uri Yah the Hethiy with the sword and took his woman to be your woman and slaughtered him with the sword by the sons of Ammon: ¹⁰ and now the sword turns not aside from your house eternally; finally, you despised me and took the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy to be your woman. ¹¹ Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I raise evil against you from your own house and I take your women in front of your eyes and give them to your friend: to lie down with your women in the eyes of this sun. ¹² For you worked covertly: but I work this word in front of all Yisra El and in front of the sun. ¹³ And David says to Nathan, I sinned against Yah Veh. And Nathan says to David, Yah Veh also passes over your sin that you not die. ¹⁴ Only, because by this word you give the enemies of Yah Veh great occasion to scorn; and in dying, the son birthed to you dies. ¹⁵ - and Nathan goes to his house. And Yah Veh smites the child the woman of Uri Yah births to David and it becomes very sick:

¹² Go and word to David, Thus says Yah Veh, I lift you these three: choose which one to work to you.

¹ A Psalm by David. Give to Yah Veh, O you sons of El; give to Yah Veh honor and strength;

⁷ Who awes you not, O Sovereign of goyim? For it becomes you: for among all the wise of the goyim, and in all their sovereigndoms, there is no one like you.

¹⁵ and I smite the winter house with the summer house; and destroy the houses of ivory, and consummate the great houses - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁹ The voice of Yah Veh calls to the city, and the counsellor sees your name: Hear the rod; and he who congregates it.

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.

³³ And Shemu El says, As the sword bereaves women, thus be your mother bereft among women. - and Shemu El cleaves Agag in pieces at the face of Yah Veh in Gilgal.

²⁵ - drawn and comes from his body; yes, the lightning sword comes from his gall; with terrors on him.

³ And so be it, any man who still prophesies, his father and his mother who birthed him say to him, You live not! - for you word falsehoods in the name of Yah Veh: and his father and his mother who birthed him thrust him through when he prophesies.

¹⁶
THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
So henceforth we know no one after the flesh: yes, though we knew Messiah after the flesh, yet from now on we still know not.

³ and he comes to the flock walls by the way and a cave is there; and Shaul goes in to cover his feet: and David and his men settle in the flanks of the cave.

¹⁵ And Yah Shua says to them, If you are a great people, ascend to the forest and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizziy and of the Rephaim - if mount Ephrayim is too pressed for you.

¹⁸ but the mountain is yours; for it is a forest; cut it down; and the exits are yours: for you are to dispossess the Kenaaniy - though they have iron chariots - though they be strong.

²⁴ And Gidon sends angels throughout all mount Ephrayim, saying, Descend to meet the Midyaniy and capture the waters to Beth Barah and Yarden in front of them. Then all the men of Ephrayim cry out and capture the waters to Beth Barah and Yarden:

¹
THE IDOLS OF MICHAH YAH
And there is a man of mount Ephrayim, his name is Michah Yah:

¹
THE WHORING CONCUBINE OF A LEVIY
And so be it, in those days, there is no sovereign in Yisra El, and there is a man - a Leviy sojourning on the flank of mount Ephrayim, who takes a woman - a concubine from Beth Lechem Yah Hudah:

³ And Yah Nathan smites the station of the Peleshethiy in Geba and the Peleshethiy hear. And Shaul blasts the shophar throughout all the land, saying, Hear, O Hebrews.

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.

¹³ And they hasten and every man takes his clothes and sets them under him on the bone of the steps and blast with shophars, saying, Yah Hu reigns!

⁷ and the men pursue after them the way to Yarden to the passages: and as soon as they pursue them, they shut the portal.

¹⁰ And Baraq cries to Zebulun and Naphtali to Qedesh; and he ascends with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah ascends with him.

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:

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:

¹⁷ And he says to them, See me; and work likewise: and behold, when I come to the edge of the camp, so be it, as I work, you work:

⁵ And the Giladiy capture the passages of Yarden in front of the Ephrayimiy: and so be it, when those Ephrayimiy escapees say, Let me pass over! that the men of Gilad say to him, Are you an Ephrayim? If he says, No!

⁴⁷ and all this congregation know that Yah Veh saves not with sword and spear: for the war is to Yah Veh and he gives you into our hands.

¹⁵ And Yeshurun fattens and kicks: you fatten; you thicken; you fattened; then he forsakes Elohah who worked him and disgraces the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁷ And he oblates the offering to Eglon sovereign of Moab - Eglon is a mighty fat man.

¹⁰ They shut their fat; their mouth words pompously:

¹¹ and the land rests forty years: and Othni El the son of Qenaz dies.

¹
SONS OF YISRA EL ARE SOLD
And after Ehud dies, the sons of Yisra El add to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh:

³ And the sons of Yisra El cry to Yah Veh: for he has nine hundred chariots of iron; and he strongly oppresses the sons of Yisra El twenty years. ⁴
DEBORAH
And Deborah a woman prophetess - a woman of Lappidoth judges Yisra El at that time: ⁵ and she settles under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth El in mount Ephrayim: and the sons of Yisra El ascend to her for judgment. ⁶ And she sends and calls Baraq the son of Abi Noam from Kedesh Naphtali and says to him, Misvahs not Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Go and draw toward mount Tabor and take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun? ⁷ and I draw the governor of the host of Yabyn to you - with his chariots and his multitude at the wadi Qishon Sisera; and I give him into your hand. ⁸ And Baraq says to her, If you go with me, I go! If you go not with me, I go not! ⁹ And she says, In walking, I walk with you: finally, the journey you walk is not for your adornment; for Yah Veh sells Sisera into the hand of a woman. - and Deborah rises and goes with Baraq to Qedesh. ¹⁰ And Baraq cries to Zebulun and Naphtali to Qedesh; and he ascends with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah ascends with him. ¹¹ And Heber the Qayiniy of the sons of Hobab the father in law of Mosheh separates himself from the Qayiniy and spread his tent to the mighty oaks of Saanayim by Qedesh. ¹² And they tell Sisera that Baraq the son of Abi Noam ascends to mount Tabor. ¹³ And Sisera cries for all his chariots - nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him - from Harosheth/the engravers of the goyim to the river of Qishon. 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 Yah Veh agitates Sisera and all his chariots and all his camp with the mouth of the sword at the face of Baraq; so that Sisera descends off his chariot and flees on his feet. ¹⁶ And Baraq pursues after the chariots and after the camp to Harosheth/the engravers of the goyim: and all the camp of Sisera falls on the mouth of the sword - not one survives. ¹⁷ And Sisera flees on his feet to the tent of Yael the woman of Heber the Qayiniy: for there is shalom between Yabyn the sovereign of Hasor and between the house of Heber the Qayiniy. ¹⁸ And Yael goes to meet Sisera, and says to him, Turn in, my adoni, turn in to me; awe not. - and he turns in to her into the tent and she covers him with a blanket. ¹⁹ And he says to her, Give me, I beseech you, a little water to drink, for I thirst. - and she opens a skin of milk and gives him drink and covers him. ²⁰ Again he says to her, Stand in the opening of the tent, and so be it, when any man comes and asks of you, and says, Is there any man here? that you say, No. ²¹ Then Yael, the woman of Heber, takes a tent stake and sets a hammer in her hand and goes quietly to him and stakes the stake into his temples and drives it into the earth: for he is sound asleep and flutters: and thus he dies. ²² And behold, as Baraq pursues Sisera, Yael goes to meet him and says to him, Come! See the man you seek! And he comes into her, and behold, Sisera - fallen and dead - and the stake in his temples.

⁶ In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Yael, the highways are abandoned and the walkers of paths walk through crooked ways.

⁸ They choose new elohim; then fight in the portals: is there a buckler or javelin seen among forty thousand in Yisra El?

¹⁷
JUDGE YIPHTACH
And the sons of Ammon cry out and encamp in Gilad; and the sons of Yisra El gather and encamp in Mispeh:

⁴ And so be it, after days, the sons of Ammon fight Yisra El: ⁵ and so be it, the sons of Ammon fight Yisra El; and the elders of Gilad go to take Yiphtach from the land of Tob: ⁶ and they say to Yiphtach, Come and be our commander to fight the sons of Ammon. ⁷ And Yiphtach says to the elders of Gilad, Did not you hate me and expel me from the house of my father? Why come to me now when you tribulate? ⁸ And the elders of Gilad say to Yiphtach, So now, we turn back to you; to go with us and fight the sons of Ammon: and be our head over all the settlers of Gilad. ⁹ And Yiphtach says to the elders of Gilad, If you turn me back to fight the sons of Ammon and Yah Veh gives them at my face, become I your head? ¹⁰ And the elders of Gilad say to Yiphtach, Yah Veh hearken between us, if we work not thus according to your word. 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. ¹² And Yiphtach sends angels to the sovereign of the sons of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come to me to fight me in my land? ¹³ And the sovereign of the sons of Ammon says to the angels of Yiphtach, Because Yisra El took away my land, when they ascended from Misrayim, from Arnon to Yabboq and to Yarden: now restore them in shalom. ¹⁴
JUDGE YIPHTACH DEFENDS THE HONOR OF YISRA EL
And Yiphtach adds to send angels to the sovereign of the sons of Ammon: ¹⁵ and says to him, Thus says Yiphtach, Yisra El took neither the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon: ¹⁶ for in ascending from Misrayim Yisra El walked through the wilderness to the Reed sea and came to Qadesh. ¹⁷ And Yisra El sent angels to the sovereign of Edom, saying, Let me, I beseech you, pass through your land? And the sovereign of Edom hearkened not thereto: and also the sovereign of Moab; and he willed not: and Yisra El settled in Qadesh. ¹⁸ And he went through the wilderness and surrounded the land of Edom and the land of Moab and came by the rising of the sun of the land of Moab and encamped beyond Arnon; but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon is the border of Moab. ¹⁹ And Yisra El sent angels to Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy the sovereign of Heshbon; and Yisra El said to him, Let us pass, we beseech you, through your land to my place? ²⁰ And Sichon trusted not Yisra El to pass through his border: but Sichon gathered all his people together and encamped in Yahsah and fought Yisra El: ²¹ and Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El gave Sichon and all his people into the hand of Yisra El; and they smote them: so Yisra El possesses all the land of the Emoriy - the settlers of that land. ²² And they possess all the borders of the Emoriy from Arnon to Yabboq and from the wilderness to Yarden. ²³ And now Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El dispossesses the Emoriy from the face of his people Yisra El - that you possess it? ²⁴ Possess you not what Kemosh your elohim gave you to possess? So whomever Yah Veh our Elohim dispossesses from our face, them we possess. ²⁵ And now are you any better than Balaq the son of Sippor sovereign of Moab? in striving, strives he against Yisra El? or in fighting, fights he against them ²⁶ - while Yisra El settles in Heshbon and her daughters and in Aroer and her daughters and in all the cities along by the hand of Arnon for three hundred years? Why rescue you not them within that time? ²⁷ I - I sin not against you; but you work me evil to fight me: Yah Veh the Judge judges this day between the sons of Yisra El and between the sons of Ammon. ²⁸ The sovereign of the sons of Ammon hearkens not to the words Yiphtach sends him: ²⁹ and the Spirit of Yah Veh comes on Yiphtach: and he passes over Gilad and Menash Sheh and passes over Mispeh of Gilad; and from Mispeh of Gilad he passes over the sons of Ammon. 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. ³² So Yiphtach passes over to the sons of Ammon to fight them; and Yah Veh gives them into his hands: ³³ he smites them from Aroer until you come to Minnith - twenty cities and to Abel Keramin with a mighty great stroke. Thus he subdues the sons of Ammon at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

¹⁵ and he finds a fresh jaw of a he burro and sends forth his hand and takes it and smites a thousand men therewith.

¹ and the word of Shemu El comes to all Yisra El.
THE ARK CAPTURED
And Yisra El goes out to meet the Peleshethiy to war and encamps beside Eben Ezer; and the Peleshethiy encamp in Apheq;

¹⁹ Now they find no artificer throughout all the land of Yisra El: for the Peleshethiy say, Lest the Hebrews work swords or spears: ²⁰ and all the Yisra Eliy descend to the Peleshethiy and every man sharpens his share and his plowshare and his ax and his pick; ²¹ and have a file with mouths for the mattocks and for the plowshares and for the triple forks and for the axes and to station the goads. 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:

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:

¹⁷ For Messiah apostolized me not to baptize but to evangelize: not in wisdom of words lest the stake of the Messiah be voided.
