⁷ And why do you⌃ pervert the minds of the children of Israel, that they should not cross over into the land, which the Lord gives them? ⁸ Did not your fathers thus, when I sent them from Cades Barne to spy out the land? ⁹ And they went up to the valley of the cluster, and spied the land, and turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land, which the Lord gave them. ¹⁰ And the Lord was very angry in that day, and sware, saying, ¹¹ Surely these men who came up out of Egypt from twenty years old and upward, who know good and evil, shall not see the land which I sware [to give] to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, for they have not closely followed after me: ¹² save Caleb the son of Jephonne, who was set apart, and Joshua the son of Naue, for they closely followed after the Lord. ¹³ And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and for forty years he caused them to wander in the wilderness, until all the generation which did evil in the sight of the Lord was extinct. ¹⁴ Behold, you⌃ are risen up in the room of your fathers, a combination of sinful men, to increase yet farther the fierce wrath of the Lord against Israel. ¹⁵ For you⌃ will turn away from him to desert him yet once more in the wilderness, and you⌃ will sin against this whole congregation. ¹⁶ And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions; ¹⁷ and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land. ¹⁸ We will not return to our houses till the children of Israel shall have been distributed, each to his own inheritance. ¹⁹ And we will not any longer inherit with them from the other side of Jordan and onwards, because we have our full inheritance on the side beyond Jordan eastward. ²⁰ And Moses said to them, If you⌃ will do according to these words, if you⌃ will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle, ²¹ and every one of you will pass over Jordan fully armed before the Lord, until his enemy be destroyed from before his face, ²² and the land shall be subdued before the Lord, then afterwards you⌃ shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and as regards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the Lord. ²³ But if you⌃ will not do so, you⌃ will sin against the Lord; and you⌃ shall know your sin, when afflictions shall come upon you. ²⁴ And you⌃ shall build for yourselves cities for your store, and folds for your cattle; and you⌃ shall do that which proceeds out of your mouth. ²⁵ And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad spoke to Moses, saying, Your servants will do as our lord commands. ²⁶ Our store, and our wives, and all our cattle shall be in the cities of Galaad. ²⁷ But your servants will go over all armed and set in order before the Lord to battle, as [our] lord says. ²⁸ And Moses appointed to them [for judges] Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and you⌃ shall subdue the land before you, then you⌃ shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession. ³⁰ But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you⌃ cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan. ³¹ And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do. ³² We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you⌃ shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan. ³³ And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about. ³⁴ And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵ and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up, ³⁶ and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep. ³⁷ And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham, ³⁸ and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names. ³⁹ And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who lived in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he lived there. ⁴¹ And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair. ⁴² And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.

² And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ³ Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince. ⁴ And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel. ⁵ And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur. ⁶ Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri. ⁷ Of the tribe of Judah, Chaleb the son of Jephonne. ⁸ Of the tribe of Issachar, Ilaal the son of Joseph. ⁹ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Ause the son of Naue. ¹⁰ Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu. ¹¹ Of the tribe of Zabulon, Gudiel the son of Sudi. ¹² Of the tribe of Joseph of the sons of Manasse, Gaddi the son of Susi. ¹³ Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the son of Gamali. ¹⁴ Of the tribe of Aser, Sathur the son of Michael. ¹⁵ Of the tribe of Nephthali, Nabi the son of Sabi. ¹⁶ Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi. ¹⁷ These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua. ¹⁸ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you⌃ shall go up to the mountain, ¹⁹ and you⌃ shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many. ²⁰ And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled. ²¹ And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you⌃ shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape. ²² And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath. ²³ And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach.

¹⁹ And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you⌃ saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne. ²⁰ And I said to you, You⌃ have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you: ²¹ behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid. ²² And you⌃ all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter. ²³ And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe. ²⁴ And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it. ²⁵ And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.

⁶ And the children of Juda came to Joshua in Galgal, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephone the Kenezite said to him, You know the word that the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Cades Barne. ⁷ For I was forty years old when Moses the servant of God sent me out of Cades Barne to spy out the land; and I returned him an answer according to his mind.

²³ And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.

²⁴ And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it. ²⁵ And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us. ²⁶ Yet you⌃ would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God. ²⁷ And you⌃ murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us. ²⁸ Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.

¹¹ And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought among them?

²¹ But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.

²³ surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.

²⁹ Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me,

³⁴ And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying, ³⁵ Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers, ³⁶ except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord. ³⁷ And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein. ³⁸ Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. ³⁹ And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it. ⁴⁰ And you⌃ turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

¹⁵ But I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness once for all, that I would not bring them into the land which I gave them, a land flowing with milk and honey, it is sweeter than all lands:

²⁴ But my servant Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.

²⁸ Say to them, [As] I live, says the Lord: surely as you⌃ spoke into my ears, so will I do to you. ²⁹ Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me, ³⁰ you⌃ shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

² Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, according to the houses of their lineage, every one that goes forth to battle in Israel.

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man numbered by Moses and Aaron, whom, [even] the children of Israel, they numbered in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the Lord said to them, They shall surely die in the wilderness; and there was not left even one of them, except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

³⁵ Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,

¹⁴ And the days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them. ¹⁵ And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.

⁸ My brethren that went up with me turned away the heart of the people, but I applied my self to follow the Lord my God. ⁹ And Moses sware on that day, saying, The land on which you are gone up, it shall be your inheritance and your children's for ever, because you have applied yourself to follow the Lord our God.

³⁰ you⌃ shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

⁶⁵ For the Lord said to them, They shall surely die in the wilderness; and there was not left even one of them, except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

³⁶ except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.

³³ And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness. ³⁴ According to the number of the days during which you⌃ spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, you⌃ shall bear your sins forty years, and you⌃ shall know my fierce anger. ³⁵ I the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.

³ And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years, and begot [a son] after his [own] form, and after his [own] image, and he called his name Seth.

²¹ And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.

³⁴ And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying, ³⁵ Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,

¹³ And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for you has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance; ¹⁴ whereas we have repeatedly broken your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one.

¹⁰ And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, You⌃ have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.

²⁴ And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them. ²⁵ And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in your great goodness. ²⁶ But they turned, and revolted from you, and cast your law behind their backs; and they killed your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to you, and they wrought great provocations.

¹⁸ Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought upon them and upon us and upon this city all these evils? and do you⌃ bring additional wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath?

⁴ For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;

⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people full of sins, an evil seed, lawless children: you⌃ have forsaken the Lord, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

⁴ Wherein have you⌃ been rioting? and against whom have you⌃ opened your mouth, and against whom have you⌃ loosed your tongue? are you⌃ not children of perdition? a lawless seed?

⁶ Behold, it is written before me: I will not be silent until I have recompensed into their bosom, ⁷ their sins and [the sins] of their fathers, says the Lord, who have burnt incense on the mountains, and reproached me on the hills: I will recompense their works into their bosom.

²¹ But they provoked me, and their children walked not in my commandments, and they took no heed to mine ordinances to do them, which [if] a man shall do, he shall even live in them, and they profaned my sabbaths: then I said that I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to accomplish mine anger upon them.

¹⁴ But if you⌃ will not listen to me, nor obey these my ordinances, ¹⁵ but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that you⌃ should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant, ¹⁶ then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and you⌃ shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them. ¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and you⌃ shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you⌃ shall flee, no one pursuing you. ¹⁸ And if you⌃ still refuse to listen to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins.

³⁰ you⌃ shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue. ³¹ And your little ones, who you⌃ said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which you⌃ rejected. ³² And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you. ¹⁶ Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be your barns and your stores. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep. ¹⁹ Cursed shall you be in your coming in, and cursed shall you be in your going out. ²⁰ The Lord send upon you lack, and famine, and consumption of all things on which you shall put your hand, until he shall have utterly destroyed you, and until he shall have consumed you quickly because of your evil devices, because you have forsaken me. ²¹ The Lord cause the pestilence to cleave to you, until he shall have consumed you off the land into which you go to inherit it. ²² The Lord strike you with distress, and fever, and cold, and inflammation, and blighting, and paleness, and they shall pursue you until they have destroyed you. ²³ And you shall have over your head a sky of brass, and the earth under you shall be iron. ²⁴ The Lord your God make the rain of your land dust; and dust shall come down from heaven, until it shall have destroyed you, and until it shall have quickly consumed you. ²⁵ The Lord give you up for slaughter before your enemies: you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away. ²⁷ The Lord strike you with the botch of Egypt in the seat, and with a malignant scab, and itch, so that you can not be healed. ²⁸ The Lord strike you with insanity, and blindness, and astonishment of mind. ²⁹ And you shall grope at mid-day, as a blind man would grope in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper. ³⁰ you shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it. ³¹ Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your ass shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper. ³² Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes wasting away shall look for them: your hand shall have no strength. ³³ A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be injured and crushed always. ³⁴ And you shall be distracted, because of the sights of your eyes which you shall see. ³⁵ The Lord strike you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head. ³⁶ The Lord carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ An you shall be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away. ³⁸ You shall carry forth much seed into the field, and you shall bring in little, because the locust shall devour it. ³⁹ You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it. ⁴⁰ You shall have olive trees in all your borders, and you shall not anoint you with oil, because your olive shall utterly cast [its fruit]. ⁴¹ You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [your], for they shall depart into captivity. ⁴² All your trees and the fruits of your land shall the blight consume. ⁴³ The stranger that is within you shall get up very high, and you shall come down very low. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and shall overtake you, until he shall have consumed you, and until he shall have destroyed you; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has commanded you. ⁴⁶ And [these things] shall be signs in you, and wonders among your seed for ever; ⁴⁷ because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things. ⁴⁸ And you shall serve your enemies, which the Lord will send forth against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and you shall wear upon your neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed you. ⁴⁹ The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young. ⁵¹ And it shall eat up the young of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you corn, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it shall have destroyed you; ⁵² and have utterly crushed you in your cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which you trust, in all your land; and it shall afflict you in your cities, which he has given to you. ⁵³ And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, all that he has given you, in your straitness and your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you. ⁵⁴ He that is tender and very delicate within you shall look with an evil eye upon his brother, and the wife in his bosom, and the children that are left, which may have been left to him; ⁵⁵ so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemies shall afflict you in all your cities. ⁵⁶ And she that is tender and delicate among you, whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness, shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and her son and her daughter, ⁵⁷ and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the lack of all things, secretly in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities. ⁵⁸ If you will not listen to do all the words of this law, which have been written in this book, to fear this glorious and wonderful name, the Lord your God; ⁵⁹ then the Lord shall magnify your plagues, and the plagues of your seed, great and wonderful plagues, and evil and dwelling diseases. ⁶⁰ And he shall bring upon you all the evil pain of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cleave to you. ⁶¹ And the Lord shall bring upon you every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and every one that is written in the book of this law, until he shall have destroyed you. ⁶² And you⌃ shall be left few in number, whereas you⌃ were as the stars of the sky in multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you; and you⌃ shall be quickly removed from the land, into which you⌃ go to inherit it. ⁶⁴ And the Lord your God shall scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone, which you have not known, nor your fathers. ⁶⁵ Moreover among those nations he will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul. ⁶⁶ And your life shall be in suspense before your eyes; and you shall be afraid by day and by night, and you shall have no assurance of your life. ⁶⁷ In the morning you shall say, Would it were evening! and in the evening you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear, and for the sights of your eyes which you shall see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord shall bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said, You shall not see it again; and you⌃ shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall buy you.

¹⁷ But if your heart change, and you will not listen, and you shall go astray and worship other gods, and serve them, ¹⁸ I declare to you this day, that you⌃ shall utterly perish, and you⌃ shall by no means live long upon the land, into which you⌃ go over Jordan to inherit it. ¹⁹ I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose you life, that you and your seed may live;

¹⁶ Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord, What [is] this transgression that you⌃ have transgressed before the God of Israel, to turn away today from the Lord, in that you⌃ have built for yourselves an altar, so that you⌃ should be apostates from the Lord? ¹⁷ Is the sin of Phogor too little for you, whereas we have not been cleansed from it until this day, though there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord? ¹⁸ And you⌃ have this day revolted from the Lord; and it shall come to pass if you⌃ revolt this day from the Lord, that to-morrow there shall be wrath upon all Israel.

¹⁹ But if you⌃ should turn away, and forsake my ordinances and my commandments, which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them; ²⁰ then will I remove you from the land which I gave them; and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will remove out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all nations. ²¹ And [as for] this lofty house, every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Therefore has the Lord done [thus] to this land, and to this house? ²² And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: and therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.

² and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while you⌃ are with him; and if you⌃ seek him out, he will be found of you; but if you⌃ forsake him, he will forsake you.

²³ For thus says the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!

¹⁷ And Jacob departs to his tents; and he made for himself there habitations, and for his cattle he made booths; therefore he called the name of that place, Booths.

²² Of the tribe of Dan the prince [was] Bacchir the son of Egli.

²⁹ And Moses said to them, If the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad will pass over Jordan with you, every one armed for war before the Lord, and you⌃ shall subdue the land before you, then you⌃ shall give to them the land of Galaad for a possession. ³⁰ But if they will not pass over armed with you to war before the Lord, then shall you⌃ cause to pass over their possessions and their wives and their cattle before you into the land of Chanaan, and they shall inherit with you in the land of Chanaan. ³¹ And the sons of Ruben and the sons of Gad answered, saying, Whatsoever the Lord says to his servants, that will we do. ³² We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you⌃ shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan.

¹⁸ And I charged you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot; arm yourselves, every one [that is] powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel. ¹⁹ Only your wives and your children and your cattle (I know that you⌃ have much cattle), let them dwell in your cities which I have given you; ²⁰ until the Lord your God give your brethren rest, as also he has given to you, and they also shall inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives them on the other side of Jordan; then you⌃ shall return, each one to his inheritance which I have given you.

¹² And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them. ¹³ Forty thousand armed for battle went over before the Lord to war, to the city of Jericho.

¹ Then Joshua called together the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse, ² and said to them, You⌃ have heard all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and you⌃ have listened to my voice in all that he commanded you. ³ You⌃ have not deserted your brethren these many days: until this day you⌃ have kept the commandment of the Lord your God. ⁴ And now the Lord our God has given our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the other side Jordan. ⁵ But take great heed to do the commands and the law, which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you to do; to love the Lord our God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commands, and to cleave to him, and serve him with all your mind, and with all your soul.

¹⁰ And Lot having lifted up his eyes, observed all the country round about Jordan, that it was all watered, before God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until you come to Zogora. ¹¹ And Lot chose for himself all the country round Jordan, and Lot went from the east, and they were separated each from his brother. And Abram lived in the land of Chanaan. ¹² And Lot lived in a city of the neighbouring people, and pitched his tent in Sodom.

¹² And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.

³² We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and you⌃ shall give us our inheritance beyond Jordan. ³³ And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and the sons of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasse of the sons of Joseph, the kingdom of Seon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, the land and its cities with its coasts, the cities of the land round about.

¹⁵ Two tribes and half a tribe have received their inheritance beyond Jordan by Jericho from the south eastwards.

¹⁴ Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you⌃ shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you⌃ shall fight on their side; ¹⁵ until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you⌃ shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.

¹ And these [are] the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel killed, and inherited their land beyond Jordan from the east, from the valley of Arnon to the mount of Aermon, and all the land of Araba on the east. ² Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon, ruling from Arnon, which is in the valley, on the side of the valley, and half of Galaad as far as Jaboc, the borders of the children of Ammon. ³ And Araba as far as the sea of Chenereth eastward, and as far as the sea of Araba; the salt sea eastward [by] the way to Asimoth, from Thaeman under Asedoth Phasga. ⁴ And Og king of Basan, who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain, was left of the giants ⁵ ruling from mount Aermon and from Secchai, and [over] all the land of Basan to the borders of Gergesi, and Machi, and the half of Galaad of the borders of Seon king of Esebon. ⁶ Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel struck them; and Moses gave them by way of inheritance to Ruben, and Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse.

⁸ From Jordan to the great sea westward you shall give it [them]: the great sea shall be the boundary. [But] to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to Gad Moses gave [an inheritance] beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the Lord gave [it] to them eastward,

³² In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael struck them in every coast of Israel; ³³ from Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.

²⁹ In the days of Phakee king of Israel came Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, and took Ain, and Abel, and Thamaacha, and Anioch, and Kenez, and Asor, and Galaa, and Galilee, [even] all the land of Nephthali, and carried them away to the Assyrians.

²⁵ But they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and went a-whoring after the gods of the nations of the land, whom God cast out from before them. ²⁶ And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phaloch king of Assyria, and the spirit of Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria, and carried away Ruben and Gaddi, and the half-tribe of Manasse, and brought them to Chaach, and Chabor, and to the river Gozan, until this day.

²¹ A portion hastily gotten at first shall not be blessed in the end.

¹³ Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.

² and said to them, You⌃ have heard all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, and you⌃ have listened to my voice in all that he commanded you. ³ You⌃ have not deserted your brethren these many days: until this day you⌃ have kept the commandment of the Lord your God. ⁴ And now the Lord our God has given our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the other side Jordan.

¹² And we inherited that land at that time from Aroer, which is by the border of the torrent Arnon, and half the mount of Galaad; and I gave his cities to Ruben and to Gad. ¹³ And the rest of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasse, and all the country round about Argob, all that Basan; it shall be accounted the land of Raphain. ¹⁴ And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day. ¹⁵ And to Machir I gave Galaad. ¹⁶ And to Ruben and to Gad I gave [the land] under Galaad as far as the brook of Arnon, the border between the brook and as far as Jaboc; the brook [is] the border to the children Amman. ¹⁷ And Araba and Jordan [are] the boundary of Machanareth, even to the sea of Araba, the salt sea under Asedoth Phasga eastward. ¹⁸ And I charged you at that time, saying, The Lord your God has given you this land by lot; arm yourselves, every one [that is] powerful, and go before your brethren the children of Israel.

²⁰ until the Lord your God give your brethren rest, as also he has given to you, and they also shall inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives them on the other side of Jordan; then you⌃ shall return, each one to his inheritance which I have given you.

¹⁵ until the Lord your God shall have given your brethren rest, as also to you, and they also shall have inherited the land, which the Lord your God gives them; then you⌃ shall depart each one to his inheritance, which Moses gave you beyond Jordan eastward.

¹⁹ And it shall come to pass that whoever shall go outside the door of your house, his guilt shall be upon him, and we shall be quit of this your oath; and we will be responsible for all that shall be found with you in your house.

³⁰ And the Lord delivered it into the hands of Israel: and they took it, and its king, and killed the inhabitants with the edge of the sword, and every thing breathing in it; and there was not left in it any that survived and escaped; and they did to its king, as they did to the king of Jericho.

⁴² And Joshua struck, once for all, all their kings, and their land, because the Lord God of Israel fought on the side of Israel.

²³ And Joshua took all the land, as the Lord commanded Moses; and Joshua gave them for an inheritance to Israel by division according to their tribes; and the land ceased from war.

²⁹ And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasse according to their families. ³⁰ And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan, sixty cities: ³¹ and the half of Galaad, and in Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities of Og in the land of Basan, [Moses gave] to the sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, even to the half-tribe sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, according to their families. ³² These [are] they whom Moses caused to inherit beyond Jordan in Araboth Moab, beyond Jordan by Jericho eastward.

¹ And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.

⁴ And now the Lord our God has given our brethren rest, as he told them: now then return and depart to your homes, and to the land of your possession, which Moses gave you on the other side Jordan.

⁹ So the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse, departed from the children of Israel in Selo in the land of Chanaan, to go away into Galaad, into the land of their possession, which they inherited by the command of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.

²⁸ And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.

¹ (45) For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer. ² You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever. ³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty; ⁴ and bend [your bow], and prosper, and reign, because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall guide you wonderfully.

⁷ Hast you not sinned if you have brought it rightly, but not rightly divided it? be still, to you shall be his submission, and you shall rule over him.

¹⁶ And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.

¹⁴ But if you⌃ will not listen to me, nor obey these my ordinances, ¹⁵ but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that you⌃ should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant, ¹⁶ then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and you⌃ shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them. ¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and you⌃ shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you⌃ shall flee, no one pursuing you. ¹⁸ And if you⌃ still refuse to listen to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins. ¹⁹ And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were brass. ²⁰ And your strength shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its fruit. ²¹ And if after this you⌃ should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to your sins. ²² And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate. ²³ And if hereupon you⌃ are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me, ²⁴ I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will strike you seven times for your sins. ²⁵ And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and you⌃ shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you⌃ shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies. ²⁶ When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you⌃ shall eat, and not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if hereupon you⌃ will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me, ²⁸ then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you sevenfold according to your sins. ²⁹ And you⌃ shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you⌃ eat. ³⁰ And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you. ³¹ And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savor of your sacrifices. ³² And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder at it. ³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate. ³⁴ Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation. ³⁵ And you⌃ shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths, when you⌃ lived in it. ³⁶ And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none pursues them. ³⁷ And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and you⌃ shall not be able to withstand your enemies. ³⁸ And you⌃ shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour you. ³⁹ And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away. ⁴⁰ And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before me, ⁴¹ and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins. ⁴² And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember. ⁴³ And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances. ⁴⁴ And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made with them; for I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵ And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, to be their God; I am the Lord. ⁴⁶ These are my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the hand of Moses.

⁸ Only with your eyes shall you observe and see the reward of sinners.

¹¹ A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.

²¹ Evil shall pursue sinners; but good shall overtake the righteous.

¹¹ Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.

¹ Has the hand of the Lord no power to save? or has he made his ear heavy, so that he should not hear? ² Nay, your iniquities separate between you and God, and because of your sins has he turned away [his] face from you, so as not to have mercy [upon you].

¹² For our iniquity is great before you, and our sins have risen up against us: for our iniquities are in us, and we know our unrighteous deeds.

² And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the Lord has commanded.

¹⁶ And they came to him, and said, We will build here folds for our cattle, and cities for our possessions;

³⁴ And the sons of Gad built Daebon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵ and Sophar, and Jazer, and they set them up, ³⁶ and Namram, and Baetharan, strong cities, and folds for sheep. ³⁷ And the sons of Ruben built Esebon, and Eleale, and Kariatham, ³⁸ and Beelmeon, surrounded [with walls], and Sebama; and they called the names of the cities which they built, after their own names. ³⁹ And a son of Machir the son of Manasse went to Galaad, and took it, and destroyed the Amorite who lived in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Galaad to Machir the son of Manasse, and he lived there. ⁴¹ And Jair the [son] of Manasse went and took their villages, and called them the villages of Jair. ⁴² And Nabau went and took Caath and her villages, and called them Naboth after his name.

¹³ Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land. ¹⁴ Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you⌃ shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you⌃ shall fight on their side;

¹⁴ Let your wives and your children and your cattle dwell in the land, which he has given you; and you⌃ shall go over well armed before your brethren, every one of you who is strong; and you⌃ shall fight on their side;

²⁸ And Joshua the son of Naue, who attended on Moses, the chosen one, said, [My] lord Moses, forbid them.

¹¹ And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, my lord, do not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.

¹⁷ and we will arm ourselves and go as an advanced guard before the children of Israel, until we shall have brought them into their place; and our possessions shall remain in walled cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

² and they said, The Lord commanded our lord to render the land of inheritance by lot to the children of Israel; and the Lord appointed our lord to give the inheritance of Salpaad our brother to his daughters.

¹² And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them.

¹³ Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God has caused you to rest, and has given you this land.

¹⁹ And now if the land of your possession [be too] little, cross over to the land of the possession of the Lord, where the tabernacle of the Lord dwells, and receive you⌃ an inheritance among us; and do not become apostates from God, neither do you⌃ apostatize from the Lord, because of your having built an altar apart from the altar of the Lord our God.

²³ And Seon did not allow Israel to pass through his borders, and Seon gathered all his people, and went out to set the battle in array against Israel into the wilderness; and he came to Jassa, and set the battle in array against Israel. ²⁴ And Israel struck him with the slaughter of the sword, and they became possessors of his land, from Arnon to Jaboc, as far as the children of Amman, for Jazer is the borders of the children of Amman. ²⁵ And Israel took all their cities, and Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Esebon, and in all cities belonging to it. ²⁶ For Esebon is the city of Seon king of the Amorites; and he before fought against the king of Moab, and they took all his land, from Aroer to Arnon. ²⁷ Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared. ²⁸ For a fire has gone forth from Esebon, a flame from the city of Seon, and has consumed as far as Moab, and devoured the pillars of Arnon. ²⁹ Woe to you, Moab; you are lost, you people of Chamos: their sons are sold for preservation, and their daughters are captives to Seon king of the Amorites. ³⁰ And their seed shall perish [from] Esebon to Daebon; and their women have yet farther kindled a fire against Moab. ³¹ And Israel lived in all the cities of the Amorites. ³² And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took it, and its villages, and cast out the Amorite that lived there. ³³ And having returned, they went up the road thhebraismat leads to Basan; and Og the king of Basan went forth to meet them, and all his people to war to Edrain. ³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Fear him not; for I have delivered him and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites, who lived in Esebon. ³⁵ And he struck him and his sons, and all his people, until he left none of his to be taken alive; and they inherited his land.

¹⁴ For the tribe of the children of Ruben, and the tribe of the children of Gad have received [their inheritance] according to their families; and the half-tribe of Manasse have received their inheritances.

³⁰ And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on this day. ³¹ And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit his land. ³² And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa. ³³ And the Lord our God delivered him before our face, and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.

¹ And we turned and went by the way leading to Basan; and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle at Edraim. ² And the Lord said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and all his land, into your hands; and you shall do to him as you did to Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon. ³ And the Lord our God delivered him into our hands, even Og the king of Basan, and all his people; and we struck him until we left none of his seed. ⁴ And we mastered all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; sixty cities, all the country round about Argob, belonging to king Og in Basan: ⁵ all strong cities, lofty walls, gates and bars; besides the very many cities of the Pherezites. ⁶ We utterly destroyed [them] as we dealt with Seon the king of Esebon, so we utterly destroyed every city in order, and the women and the children, ⁷ and all the cattle; and we took for a prey to ourselves the spoil of the cities. ⁸ And we took at that time the land out of the hands of the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, [extending] from the brook of Arnon even to Aermon.

¹² And we inherited that land at that time from Aroer, which is by the border of the torrent Arnon, and half the mount of Galaad; and I gave his cities to Ruben and to Gad. ¹³ And the rest of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasse, and all the country round about Argob, all that Basan; it shall be accounted the land of Raphain. ¹⁴ And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day. ¹⁵ And to Machir I gave Galaad. ¹⁶ And to Ruben and to Gad I gave [the land] under Galaad as far as the brook of Arnon, the border between the brook and as far as Jaboc; the brook [is] the border to the children Amman. ¹⁷ And Araba and Jordan [are] the boundary of Machanareth, even to the sea of Araba, the salt sea under Asedoth Phasga eastward.

⁸ And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.

⁶ Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel struck them; and Moses gave them by way of inheritance to Ruben, and Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasse.

⁸ From Jordan to the great sea westward you shall give it [them]: the great sea shall be the boundary. [But] to the two tribes and to the half tribe of Manasse, to Ruben and to Gad Moses gave [an inheritance] beyond Jordan: Moses the servant of the Lord gave [it] to them eastward, ⁹ from Aroer, which is on the bank of the brook of Arnon, and the city in the midst of the valley, and all Misor from Maedaban. ¹⁰ All the cities of Seon king of the Amorites, who reigned from Esebon to the coasts of the children of Ammon; ¹¹ and the region of Galaad, and the borders of the Gesirites and the Machatites, the whole mount of Aermon, and all the land of Basan to Acha. ¹² All the kingdom of Og in the region of Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and in Edrain: he was left of the giants; and Moses struck him, and destroyed him. ¹³ But the children of Israel destroyed not the Gesirite and the Machatite and the Chananite; and the king of the Gesiri and the Machatite lived among the children of Israel until this day. ¹⁴ Only no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi: the Lord God of Israel, he [is] their inheritance, as the Lord said to them; and this [is] the division which Moses made to the children of Israel in Araboth Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho.

¹⁸ The sons of Ruben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasse, of mighty men, bearing shields and sword, and bending the bow, and skilled in war, [were] forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going forth to battle.

³¹ And of the half-tribe of Manasse, eighteen thousand, even [those] who were named by name, to make David king.

³² And his brethren [were] two thousand seven hundred mighty men, chiefs of their families, and king David set them over the Rubenites, and the Gaddites, and the half-tribe of Manasse, for every ordinance of the Lord, and business of the king.

¹⁰ To him who struck Egypt with their firstborn; for his mercy [endures] for ever. ¹¹ And brought Israel out of the midst of them; for his mercy [endures] for ever:

²⁰ And Moses sent ambassadors to Seon king of the Amorites, with peaceful words, saying,

⁴⁵ And they departed from Gai, and encamped in Daebon Gad. ⁴⁶ And they departed from Daebon Gad, and encamped in Gelmon Deblathaim.

³⁶ From Aroer, which is by the brink of the brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.

² abandoned for ever, to [be] a fold and resting-place for flocks, and there shall be none to go after them.

²⁷ Therefore say they who deal in dark speeches, Come to Esebon, that the city of Seon may be built and prepared.

⁴ For Esebon and Eleale have cried: their voice was heard to Jassa: therefore the loins of the region of Moab cry aloud; her soul shall know.

¹⁸ And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which the servants of his father Abraam had dug, and the Phylistines had stopped them, after the death of his father Abraam; and he gave them names, according to the names by which his father named them.

¹³ Observe all things whatever I have commanded you; and you⌃ shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.

⁴¹ And it was morning; and Balac took Balaam, and brought him up to the pillar of Baal, and showed him thence a part of the people.

⁷ that you⌃ go not in among these nations that are left; and the names of their gods shall not be named among you, neither shall you⌃ serve them, neither shall you⌃ bow down to them.

⁴ As for the works of men, by the words of your lips I have guarded [myself from] hard ways.

¹ Bel has fallen, Nabo is broken to pieces, their graven images are gone to the wild beasts and the cattle: you⌃ take them packed up as a burden to the weary, exhausted, hungry, and [at the same time] helpless man;

²³ And Joseph saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation; and the sons of Machir the son of Manasse were borne on the sides of Joseph.

²⁹ To Chober, the family of the Choberites; to Melchiel, the family of the Melchielites.

¹ And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasse, (for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph,) [assigned] to Machir the firstborn of Manasse the father of Galaad, for he was a warrior, [were] in the land of Galaad and of Basan.

¹³ And the rest of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og I gave to the half-tribe of Manasse, and all the country round about Argob, all that Basan; it shall be accounted the land of Raphain. ¹⁴ And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day. ¹⁵ And to Machir I gave Galaad.

²⁹ And Moses gave to half the tribe of Manasse according to their families. ³⁰ And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan, sixty cities: ³¹ and the half of Galaad, and in Astaroth, and in Edrain, royal cities of Og in the land of Basan, [Moses gave] to the sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, even to the half-tribe sons of Machir the sons of Manasse, according to their families.

¹⁴ And Jair the son of Manasse took all the country round about Argob as far as the borders of Gargasi and Machathi: he called them by his name Basan Thavoth Jair until this day.

³⁰ And their borders were from Maan, and all the kingdom of Basan, and all the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in the region of Basan, sixty cities:

⁴ And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them Jair's towns until this day in the land of Galaad.

¹³ The son of Naber in Raboth Galaad, to him [fell] the lot of Ergab in Basan, sixty great cities with walls, and brazen bars, one.

²¹ And after this Esron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Galaad, and he took her when he was sixty-five years old; and she bore him Seruch. ²² And Seruch begot Jair, and he had twenty-three cities in Galaad. ²³ And he took Gedsur and Aram, the towns of Jair from them; [with] Canath and its towns, sixty cities. All these [belonged to] the sons of Machir the father of Galaad.

¹⁸ Now Abessalom while yet alive had taken and set up for himself the pillar near which he was taken, and set it up so as to have the pillar in the king's dale; for he said he had no son to keep his name in remembrance: and he called the pillar, Abessalom's hand, until this day.
