¹ Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and they saw the land of Ya’zer, and the land of Gil’ad, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle. ² And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came, and said unto Moses, and unto Elazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, as followeth, ³ ‘Ataroth, and Dibon, and Ya’zer, and Nimrah, and Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Be’on, ⁴ The country which the Lord hath smitten before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle. ⁵ And they said, If we have found grace in thy eyes, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession: do not compel us to go over the Jordan. ⁶ And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and unto the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and will ye sit here? ⁷ And wherefore will you turn aside the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them? ⁸ Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea’ to see the land. ⁹ For they went up as far as the valley of Eshcol, and they saw the land, and then they turned aside the heart of the children of Israel, so that they would not go into the land which the Lord had given them. ¹⁰ And the anger of the Lord was kindled on that day, and he swore, saying, ¹¹ Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: ¹² Save Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; for they have wholly followed the Lord. ¹³ And the anger of the Lord was thus kindled against Israel, and he made them wander about in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation was spent, that had done the evil in the eyes of the Lord. ¹⁴ And now, behold, ye are risen up in your father’s stead, a new race of sinful men, to augment yet more the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel. ¹⁵ For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet longer leave them in the wilderness; and ye will thus be destruction to all this people. ¹⁶ And they came near unto him, and said, Sheepfolds will we build for our cattle here, and cities for our little ones; ¹⁷ But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until that we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land. ¹⁸ We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have acquired for themselves every man his inheritance. ¹⁹ For we will not take possession with them on the other side of the Jordan, and farther on: when our inheritance hath come to us on this side of the Jordan eastward. ²⁰ And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves before the Lord for the war; ²¹ And every armed man of you will go over the Jordan before the Lord, until he have driven out his enemies from before him; ²² And when, only after the land hath been subdued before the Lord, ye will return, and ye be thus guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel: then shall this land be yours for a possession before the Lord. ²³ But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord; and ye shall experience the punishment of your sin which will overtake you. ²⁴ Build yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your flocks; and that which hath proceeded out of your mouth shall ye do. ²⁵ And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said unto Moses, as followeth, Thy servants will do as my Lord commandeth. ²⁶ Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall remain there in the cities of Gil’ad; ²⁷ But thy servants will pass over, every one that is armed for the army, before the Lord, to the war, as my Lord speaketh. ²⁸ And Moses commanded concerning them Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chiefs of the families of the tribes of the children of Israel; ²⁹ And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben do pass with you over the Jordan, every one that is armed for the war, before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you: then shall ye give to them the land of Gil’ad for a possession; ³⁰ But if they should not pass over armed with you, they shall take possessions among you in the land of Canaan. ³¹ And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, That which the Lord hath spoken concerning thy servants, even so will we do. ³² We will indeed pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, while ours remaineth the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan. ³³ And Moses gave unto them, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Menasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sichon, the king of the Emorites, and the kingdom of ‘Og, the king of Bashan, the land, with its cities within the boundaries, the cities of the country round about. ³⁴ And the children of Gad built Dibon, and ‘Ataroth, and ‘Aro’er, ³⁵ And ‘Atroth-shophan, and Ya’zer, and Yogbehah. ³⁶ And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for flocks, ³⁷ And the children of Reuben built Cheshbon, and El’aleh, and Kiryathayim, ³⁸ And Nebo, and Ba’al-me’on their names being changed, and Shibmah; and they gave the former names unto the cities which they built. ³⁹ And the children of Machir the son of Menasseh went to Gil’ad, and conquered it, and dispossessed the Emorites who were in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gil’ad unto Machir the son of Menasseh; and he dwelt therein. ⁴¹ And Yair the son of Menasseh went and conquered the small towns thereof, and called them Chavoth-yair. ⁴² And Nobach went and conquered Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobach, after his own name.

¹³ In ‘Eden the garden of God didst thou abide; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold; thy tabrets and thy flutes of artificial workmanship were prepared in thee on the day thou wast created.

⁸ The cedars could not obscure it in the garden of God; the firs were not like its boughs, and the chestnut-trees were not like its branches: not any tree in the garden of God was like unto it in its beauty.

³ Before it devoureth a fire; and behind it singeth a flame: like the garden of ‘Eden was the land before it came, and after it is a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth from it.

⁹ Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right, then I will go to the left.

¹⁴ And the Lord said unto Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thy eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward;

³ But in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them is all my delight.

⁶³ An associate am I unto all that fear thee, and unto those that keep thy precepts.

⁴ But before they had lain down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: ⁵ And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men who came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. ⁶ And Lot went out unto them, at the entrance of the house, and shut the door after him. ⁷ And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not act wickedly. ⁸ Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes, only unto these men do nothing, since they have once come under the shadow of my roof. ⁹ And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one man came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge; now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed sorely upon the man Lot, and they came near to break the door. ¹⁰ But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot to them into the house, and the door they locked. ¹¹ And the men that were at the entrance of the house they smote with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the entrance.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and between thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant: to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou sojournest, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

¹⁸ Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

⁷ The Lord, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my birth, and who spoke unto me, and who swore unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from there.

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, will I give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father; ⁴ And I will cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.

⁴ And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojourn, which God gave unto Abraham.

¹³ And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

¹² And the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, to thee will I give it; and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

⁴ And he said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

¹ And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, go up from here, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it;—

² Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye come into the land of Canaan, shall this be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance: The land of Canaan according to its boundaries.

¹² And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its terminating points shall be at the Salt Sea: this shall be your land after its boundaries round about. ¹³ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall divide among yourselves by lot, which the Lord hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. ¹⁴ For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their family divisions, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their family divisions, have received,—and the half of the tribe of Menasseh have received their inheritance; ¹⁵ The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan opposite Jericho eastward, toward the rising of the sun. ¹⁶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, ¹⁷ These are the names of the men who shall parcel out unto you the land: Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. ¹⁸ And one prince each from every tribe shall ye take to parcel out the land. ¹⁹ And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Yephunneh: ²⁰ And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of ‘Ammihud; ²¹ Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Kisslon; ²² And of the tribe of the children of Dan the prince, Bukki the son of Yogli; ²³ Of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Menasseh the prince, Channiel the son of Ephod; ²⁴ And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim the prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan; ²⁵ And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun the prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach; ²⁶ And of the tribe of the children of Issachar the prince, Paltiel the son of ‘Azzan; ²⁷ And of the tribe of the children of Asher the prince, Achihud the son of Shelomi; ²⁸ And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali the prince, Pedahel the son of ‘Ammihud. ²⁹ These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide out the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

² That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the soil, which thou shalt bring in from thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket; and thou shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there. ³ And thou shalt come unto the priest that may be in those days, and thou shalt say unto him, I give thanks this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come into the land which the Lord swore unto our fathers to give to us. ⁴ And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.

⁴ And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: I have let thee see it with thy eyes, but thither shalt thou not go over.

⁷ Behold, it is thou, O our God, who hast driven out the inhabitants of this land from before thy people Israel; and thou gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend to eternity.

⁷ Thou art indeed the Lord the true God, who didst choose Abram, and bring him forth out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and change his name to Abraham; ⁸ And thou didst find his heart faithful before thee: and thou madest with him the covenant to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Emorites, and the Perizittes, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashite—to give it to his seed: and thou hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous.

²² For those blessed of him shall inherit the land; and those cursed of him shall be cut off.

²⁹ The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell for ever therein.

⁹ Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac; ¹⁰ And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant: ¹¹ Saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance.” ¹² When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;

¹ Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments. ² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

¹⁸ But a brief space were thy holy people in possession, when our adversaries trod down thy sanctuary.

² And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: ³ And I will bless those that bless thee, and him that curseth thee, will I curse; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

⁵ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward the heaven, and count the stars, if thou be able to count them; and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

⁶ And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will cause thee to become nations; and kings shall come out of thee.

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee also a son of her; yea I will bless her, and she shall become a mother of nations; kings of people shall spring from her.

²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make of him a great nation.

¹³ And also of the son of the bond-woman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.

¹⁷ That I will greatly bless thee, and I will exceedingly multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

¹ Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah. ² And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach. ³ And Yokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. ⁴ And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida’, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. ⁵ And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. ⁶ But unto the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was yet living, eastward, unto the east country. ⁷ And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years. ⁸ Then Abraham departed this life, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people. ⁹ And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zochar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; ¹⁰ The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife. ¹¹ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lachai-roi. ¹² Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bore unto Abraham. ¹³ And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, ¹⁴ And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, ¹⁵ Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. ¹⁷ And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people. ¹⁸ And they dwelt from Chavilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he dwelt in the presence of all his brethren. ¹⁹ And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac. ²⁰ And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife. ²¹ And Isaac entreated the Lord in behalf of his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. ²² And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why did I desire this? And she went to inquire of the Lord. ²³ And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. ²⁴ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵ And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. ²⁶ And after that came his brother out, his hand holding on to Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. ²⁷ And the boys grew up: and Esau was an expert hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. ²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob. ²⁹ And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder red pottage, for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom. ³¹ And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born. ³² And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me? ³³ And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob. ³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.

⁴ And I will cause thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and I will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves.

³ And God, the Almighty, bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a multitude of people;

¹² And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

¹¹ And God said unto him, I am God the Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and an assemblage of nations shall spring from thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.

¹ Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. ² Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; ³ And Bahsemath Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebayoth. ⁴ And Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz; and Bahsemath bore Reuel; ⁵ And Aholibamah bore Yeush, and Ya’lam, and Korach: these are the sons of Esau, that were born unto him in the land Canaan. ⁶ And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had gotten in the land of Canaan; and went into another country from the face of his brother Jacob. ⁷ For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land of their sojourning could not bear them, because of their cattle. ⁸ Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. ⁹ And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edom in mount Seir. ¹⁰ These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bahsemath the wife of Esau. ¹¹ And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Ga’tam, and Kenaz. ¹² And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau’s son: and she bore to Eliphaz Amalek; these were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife. ¹³ And these are the sons of Reuel: Nachath, and Zerach, Shammah, and Mizzah; these were the sons of Bahsemath, Esau’s wife. ¹⁴ And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: and she bore to Esau Yeush, and Ya’lam, and Korach. ¹⁵ These are the dukes of the sons of Esau; the sons of Eliphaz the first-born of Esau: duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, ¹⁶ Duke Korach, duke Ga’tam, duke Amalek; these are the dukes of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah. ¹⁷ And these are the sons of Reuel Esau’s son: duke Nachath, duke Zerach, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah; these are the dukes of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bahsemath, Esau’s wife. ¹⁸ And these are the sons of Aholibamah, Esau’s wife: duke Yeush, duke Ya’lam, duke Korach; these are the dukes of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. ¹⁹ These are the sons of Esau, and these are their dukes; this is Edom. ²⁰ These are the sons of Seir the Chorite, who inhabited the land: Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, ²¹ And Dishon, and Etzer, and Dishan; these are the dukes of the Chorites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. ²² And the children of Lotan were Chori and Heman; and Lotan’s sister was Timna. ²³ And these were the children of Shobal: Alvan, and Manachath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. ²⁴ And these are the children of Zibeon: both Ajah, and Anah; this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father. ²⁵ And these are the children of Anah: Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. ²⁶ And these are the children of Dishan: Chemdan, and Eshban, and Yithran, and Cheran. ²⁷ These are the children of Etzer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. ²⁸ These are the children of Dishan: Uz, and Aran. ²⁹ These are the dukes of the Chorites: duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah; ³⁰ Duke Dishon, duke Etzer, duke Dishan; these are the dukes of the Chorites, after their dukes in the land of Seir. ³¹ And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. ³² And there reigned in Edom Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. ³³ And Bela died, and there reigned in his stead Yobab the son of Zerach of Bozrah. ³⁴ And Yobab died, and there reigned in his stead Chusham of the land of Teman. ³⁵ And Chusham died, and there reigned in his stead Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab; and the name of his city was Avith. ³⁶ And Hadad died, and there reigned in his stead Samlah of Masrekah. ³⁷ And Samlah died, and there reigned in his stead Shaul of Rechoboth by the river. ³⁸ And Shaul died, and there reigned in his stead Baal-chanan the son of Achbor. ³⁹ And Baal-chanan the son of Achbor died, and there reigned in his stead Hadar, and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab. ⁴⁰ And these are the names of the dukes of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names: duke Timna, duke Alvah, duke Yetheth, ⁴¹ Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon. ⁴² Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, ⁴³ Duke Magdiel, duke Iram; these are the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: this is Esau the father of the Edom.

³ And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for a great nation will I make of thee there:

⁷ And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.

¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thy own self, and speak unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

¹⁰ Who can count the dust of Jacob, and number the fourth part of Israel? May my soul die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his!

¹⁰ The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

³ And it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the ‘Amalekites, and the children of the east, and they went up against them;

⁵ For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and came as locusts in multitude; and both they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land to destroy it.

⁸ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot he numbered nor counted for multitude.

²⁰ Judah and Israel were numerous, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude; and they ate and drank, and made merry.

⁵ And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto David: and there were in all Israel a thousand times thousand and one hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew the sword.

²³ But David took not their number from twenty years old and under; because the Lord had said he would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.

¹⁴ And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was ‘Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand. ¹⁵ And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand. ¹⁶ And next to him was ‘Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. ¹⁷ And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada’, and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand. ¹⁸ And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.

¹⁸ Oh that thou hadst but listened to my commandments! then would have been as a river thy peace, and thy prosperity as the waves of the sea: ¹⁹ And then would have been as the sand thy seed, and the offspring of thy body like the pebbles of the sea-shore; yet shall his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

²² As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

¹⁵ For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.

¹⁷ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and he said unto them, Go you up this way at the south side, and go up into the mountain; ¹⁸ And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they be strong or weak, whether they be few or many; ¹⁹ And what the land is on which they dwell, whether it be good or bad; and what the cities are in which they dwell, whether in open places, or in strongholds; ²⁰ And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be trees therein, or not; and take ye courage, and take away some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripening of grapes. ²¹ And they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rechob, on the road to Chamath. ²² And they ascended on the south side, and came unto Hebron; and there were Achiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of ‘Anak; now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. ²³ And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and they cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a barrow between two; and they took some of the pomegranates and of the figs. ²⁴ That place was called the valley of Eshcol, on account of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.

²⁰ And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

⁴ Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first; and Abram called there on the name of the Lord.

¹³ And there came one that had escaped, and told it to Abram the Hebrew; but he dwelt in the grove of Mamre the Emorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and these were confederates of Abram.

¹ And the Lord appeared unto him in the grove of Mamre; while he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.

² And Sarah died in Kiryath-arba, the same in Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.

²⁷ And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, the city of Arba’, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

¹⁴ And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

²² And they ascended on the south side, and came unto Hebron; and there were Achiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of ‘Anak; now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

¹³ And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh for an inheritance.

⁸ I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
