Deuteronomy 2 Cross References - MSTC

¹ Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness, even the way to the reed sea as the LORD commanded me. And we compassed the mountains of Seir a long time. ² Then the LORD spake unto me, saying, ³ 'Ye have compassed these mountains long enough; turn you northward. ⁴ And warn the people, saying: Ye shall go through the coasts of your brethren the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: But take good heed unto yourselves ⁵ that ye provoke them not, for I will not give you of their land, no not so much as a foot breadth: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau to possess. ⁶ Ye shall buy meat of them, for money, to eat; and ye shall buy water of them, for money, to drink. ⁷ For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thine hand, and knew thee as thou wentest through this great wilderness. Moreover, the LORD thy God hath been with thee this forty years, so that thou hast lacked nothing.' ⁸ And when we were departed from our brethren, the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir by the field way from Elath and Eziongeber, we turned and went the way to the wilderness of Moab. ⁹ Then the LORD said unto me, 'See that thou vex not the Moabites, neither provoke them to battle, for I will not give thee of their land to possess: because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot to possess.' ¹⁰ The Emims dwelt therein in times past; which were a great strong people, and high of stature as the Anakims. ¹¹ Which also were taken for Giants, like as the Anakims: And the Moabites called them Emims. ¹² In like manner the Horites dwelt in Seir, before time: which the children of Esau cast out, and destroyed them before them, and dwelt there in their stead: as Israel did in the land of his possession which the LORD gave them. ¹³ 'Now rise up,' said I, 'and get you over the river Zered.' And we went over the river Zered. ¹⁴ The space in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we were come over the river Zered was thirty eight years: until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out of the host, as the LORD sware unto them. ¹⁵ For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them out of the host, till they were consumed. ¹⁶ And as soon as all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, ¹⁷ then the LORD spake unto me, saying, ¹⁸ 'Thou shalt go through Ar, the coast of Moab this day, ¹⁹ and shalt come nigh unto the children of Ammon: see that thou vex them not, nor yet provoke them. For I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon to possess; because I have given it unto the children of Lot to possess.' ²⁰ That also was taken for a land of Giants — and Giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites called them Zamzummims: ²¹ a people that was great, many and tall, as the Anakims. But the LORD destroyed them before the Ammonites, and they cast them out and they dwelt there in their stead: ²² as he did for the children of Esau which dwell in Seir; even as he destroyed the Horites before them, and they cast them out and dwell in their stead unto this day. ²³ And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim even unto Gaza, the Caphthorims which came out of Caphthor destroyed them and dwelt in their rooms. ²⁴ 'Rise up, take your journey and go over the river Arnon.

I will go always along by the high way and will neither turn unto the right hand, nor to the left. ²⁸ Sell me meat, for money, for to eat; and give me drink, for money, for to drink: I will go through by foot only - ²⁹ as the children of Esau did unto me, which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar — until I be come over Jordan, into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.' ³⁰ But Sihon, the king of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him; for the LORD thy God had hardened his spirit and made his heart tough because he would deliver him into thy hands as it is come to pass this day. ³¹ And the LORD said unto me, 'Behold, I have begun to set Sihon and his land before thee: go to and conquer, that thou mayest possess his land.' ³² Then both Sihon and all his people came out against us unto battle at Jahaz. ³³ And the LORD set him before us, and we smote him and his sons and all his people. ³⁴ And we took all his cities the same season, and destroyed all the cities with men, women, and children and let nothing remain, ³⁵ save the cattle only we caught unto ourselves and the spoil of the cities which we took: ³⁶ from Aroer upon the brink of the river of Arnon, and the city in the river, unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. The LORD our God delivered all unto us: ³⁷ only, unto the land of the children of Ammon ye came not, nor unto all the coast of the river Jabbok nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbade us.

These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. ²² And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman. And Lotan's sister was called Timna. ²³ The children of Shobal were these: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam. ²⁴ These were the children of Zibeon: Aia and Anah; this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed his father Zibeon's asses. ²⁵ The children of Anah were these: Dishon and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. ²⁶ These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. ²⁷ The children of Ezer were these: Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan. ²⁸ The children of Dishan were: Uz and Aran. ²⁹ These are the dukes that came of Hori: duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, ³⁰ duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan. These be the dukes that came of Hori in their dukedoms in the land of Seir. ³¹ These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king among the children of Israel. ³² Bela the son of Beor reigned in Idumaea, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. ³³ And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah out of Bozrah, reigned in his stead. ³⁴ When Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. ³⁵ And after the death of Husham, Hadad the son of Bedad, which slew the Midianites in the field of the Moabites, reigned in his stead, and the name of his city was Avith. ³⁶ When Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. ³⁷ When Samlah was dead, Saul of the river Rehoboth reigned in his stead. ³⁸ When Saul was dead, Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. ³⁹ And after the death of Baalhanan the son of Achbor, Hadad reigned in his stead, and the name of his city was Pau.

These be the dukes of Idumaea in their habitations, in the land of their possessions. This Esau is the father of the Edomites.

²¹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, ²² "Let us go through thy land; We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go along by the common way, until we be past thy country." ²³ And Sihon would give Israel no license to pass through his country, but gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel. ²⁴ And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and conquered his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok: even unto the children of Ammon. For the borders of the children of Ammon are strong. ²⁵ And Israel took all these cities and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites: in Heshbon and in all the towns that long thereto. ²⁶ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites which Sihon had fought before with the king of the Moabites, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon. ²⁷ Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say: "Go to Heshbon and let the city of Sihon be built and made ready! ²⁸ For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites and the men of the hills of Arnon! ²⁹ Woe be to thee, Moab! O people of Chemosh, ye are forlorn! His sons are put to flight and his daughters brought captive unto Sihon, king of the Amorites! ³⁰ Their light is out, from Heshbon unto Dibon! And we made a wilderness even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba!" ³¹ And thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. ³² And Moses sent to search out Jazer, and they took the towns belonging thereto and conquered the Amorites that were there. ³³ And then they turned and went up toward Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, came out against them, both he and all his people, to war at Edrei. ³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him into thy hands with all his people and his land. And thou shalt do with him as thou didst with Sihon, the king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon." ³⁵ And they smote him and his sons and all his people, until there was nothing left him. And they conquered his land.

²² as he did for the children of Esau which dwell in Seir; even as he destroyed the Horites before them, and they cast them out and dwell in their stead unto this day.

³² Then both Sihon and all his people came out against us unto battle at Jahaz.

³⁸ The sons of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. ³⁹ The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam; and Timna was Lotan's sister. ⁴⁰ The sons of Shobal: Alian, Manahath, Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. ⁴¹ The sons of Anah: Dishon. The sons of Dishon: Hamran, Eshbon, Ithran and Cheran. ⁴² The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and Jaakan. The sons of Dishan: Uz, and Aran. ⁴³ These are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned among the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. ⁴⁴ And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zereh of Bozrah reigned in his stead. ⁴⁵ And after the death of Jobab, Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his room, ⁴⁶ and after the death of Husham, Hadad the son of Bedad, which beat the Midianites in the fields of Moab, reigned in his room, and the name of his city was Avith. ⁴⁷ And after the death of Hadad, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. ⁴⁸ And after the death of Samlah, Shaul of Rehoboth upon Euphrates reigned in his place. ⁴⁹ And after the death of Shaul, Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his room. ⁵⁰ And after the death of Baalhanan, Hadad reigned in his place, and the name of his city was Pai, and his wife's name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred the daughter of Mezahab. ⁵¹ But after the death of Hadad, there were dukes in Edom: ⁵² Duke Timna, duke Aliah, duke Jetheth: duke Oholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, ⁵³ duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, ⁵⁴ duke Magdiel and duke Iram. These were the dukes of Edom.

²³ And they came unto the river of Eshcol and they cut down there a branch with one cluster of grapes and bare it upon a staff between twain, and also of the pomegranates and of the figs of the place.

¹² And they removed thence, and pitched upon the river of Zered.

²⁶ And they went and came to Moses and Aaron and unto all the multitude of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran: even unto Kadesh, and brought them word and also unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

²⁸ Tell them that the LORD sayeth, 'As truly as I live, I will do unto you even as ye have spoken in mine ears. ²⁹ Your carcasses shall lie in this wilderness, neither shall any of these numbers which were numbered from twenty years and above of you which have murmured against me ³⁰ come in to the land over which I lifted mine hand to make you dwell therein — save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. ³¹ And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused, ³² and your carcases shall lie in this wilderness. ³³ And your children shall wander in this wilderness forty years and suffer for your whoredom until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness, ³⁴ after the number of the days in which ye searched out the land forty days, and every day a year: so that they shall bear your unrighteousness forty years, and ye shall feel my vengeance. ³⁵ I, the LORD, have said that I will do it unto all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me: even in this wilderness ye shall be consumed, and here ye shall die."

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹¹ 'None of the men that came out of Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, because they have not continually followed me:

¹⁹ And then we departed from Horeb and walked through all that great and terrible wilderness, as ye have seen along by the way that leadeth unto the hills of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us, and came to Kadesh Barnea.

³⁴ And the LORD heard the voice of your words and was wroth and swore saying, ³⁵ 'There shall not one of these men of this froward generation see that good land which I sware to give unto your fathers,

⁴⁶ And so ye abode in Kadesh a long season, according unto the time that ye there dwelt.

³ Thou turnest man to destruction; Again, thou sayest, "Come again, ye children of men."

⁹ For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

¹¹ Therefore I said unto them in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

²⁶ Then lift he up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,

¹⁵ But I swore unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land, which I gave them: a land that floweth with milk and honey, and is a pleasure of all lands.

⁵ But in many of them had God no delight. For they were overthrown in the wilderness.

⁸ harden not your hearts, after the rebellion in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years long. ¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieved with that generation and said, 'They ever err in their hearts: they verily have not known my ways,' ¹¹ so that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest." ¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be in none of you an evil heart, in unbelief, that he should depart from the living God: ¹³ but exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest any of you wax hard hearted through the deceitfulness of sin. ¹⁴ We are partakers of Christ, if we keep sure unto the end the beginning of the first substance, ¹⁵ so long as it is said, "Today if ye hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as when ye provoked." ¹⁶ For some, when they heard, rebelled: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt under Moses. ¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased forty years? Was he not displeased with them that sinned: whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? ¹⁸ To whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but unto them that believed not? ¹⁹ And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.

⁵ My mind is therefore to put you in remembrance, forasmuch as ye once know this, how that the Lord — after that he had delivered the people out of Egypt — destroyed them which afterward believed not:

¹⁵ But unto whatsoever thing they went, the hand of the LORD was upon them with evil luck, even as the LORD promised them, and as he sware unto them. And they were sore vexed.

⁶ But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with hemorrhoids; both Ashdod and all the coasts thereof.

⁹ And when they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was in the city with a mighty great plague, and he smote the men of the city both small and great: and they were smitten in their secret places with the hemorrhoids.

¹¹ Then they sent and fetched all the lords of the Philistines unto them and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go home again unto his own place, that it slay us not with our people." For there was a plague of death throughout all the city, and the hand of God was exceeding sore there,

¹³ And so the Philistines were brought under, that they came no more into the coasts of Israel: for the hand of the LORD was upon the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

⁴ For thy hand is heavy upon me both day and night, and my moisture is like the drought in Summer. Selah.

³³ Therefore their days were consumed in vanity, and suddenly their years were gone.

⁷ For we consume away in thy displeasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. ⁸ Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. ⁹ For when thou art angry, all our days are gone; we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale that is told.

¹⁴ And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like a herb. Thus shall the hand of the LORD be known among his servants, and his indignation among his enemies.

²³ And Sihon would give Israel no license to pass through his country, but gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel.

¹ This is the heavy burden upon Moab: Ar of Moab was destroyed and overthrown in the night season: Kir also, in Moab, perished in the night and vanished away.

³⁶ Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. ³⁷ And the elder bare a son and called him Moab, which is the father of the Moabites unto this day. ³⁸ And the younger bare a son and called him Benammi, which is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

⁹ Then the LORD said unto me, 'See that thou vex not the Moabites, neither provoke them to battle, for I will not give thee of their land to possess: because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot to possess.'

¹³ And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land, when they came out of Egypt, even from Arnon unto Jabbok and from thence unto Jordan, now therefore restore those lands again with fair means." ¹⁴ And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the children of Ammon, ¹⁵ and said unto him, "Thus sayeth Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon. ¹⁶ But when Israel came out of Egypt, they walked through the wilderness, even unto the reed sea, and came to Kadesh, ¹⁷ and sent messengers unto the king of Edom saying, 'Let us, we pray thee, go through thy land.' But the king of Edom would not agree thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab, but he would not consent. And so Israel abode still in Kadesh. ¹⁸ And then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came along by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of the river of Arnon, and came not within the coasts of the Moabites: for Arnon was their utmost border. ¹⁹ And then Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, and king of Heshbon, and said unto him, 'Let us pass through thy land unto our own country.' ²⁰ But Sihon trusted not Israel, to go through his coasts: but gathered all his people together and pitched in Jahaz, and fought with Israel. ²¹ But the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his folk into the hands of Israel. And so Israel smote them and conquered all the land of the Amorites, the inhabiters of the said country. ²² And they conquered all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness unto Jordan. ²³ So now seeing the LORD God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people, shouldest thou possess the land? ²⁴ Nay, but what people Chemosh thy god driveth out, that land possess thou. But whatsoever nations the LORD our God expelleth, that land ought we to enjoy. ²⁵ And thereto art thou better than Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab? Did he strive with Israel or fight against thee, ²⁶ all the while Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundredth years? Why didst thou not recover them in all that space? ²⁷ Wherefore I have not sinned against thee. But thou doest me wrong, to war against me. The LORD therefore be judge this day, between the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon."

¹⁰ The Emims dwelt therein in times past; which were a great strong people, and high of stature as the Anakims. ¹¹ Which also were taken for Giants, like as the Anakims: And the Moabites called them Emims.

¹¹ For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Giants: behold, his iron bed is yet at Rabbah, among the children of Ammon: nine cubits long and four cubits broad, of the cubits of a man.

²⁴ Nay, but what people Chemosh thy god driveth out, that land possess thou. But whatsoever nations the LORD our God expelleth, that land ought we to enjoy.

⁷ And all people shall serve him, and his son, and his child's children, until the time of the same land be come also: Yea, many people and great kings shall serve him. ⁸ Moreover, that people and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, and that will not put their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, the same people will I visit with the sword, with hunger, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them in his hands, sayeth the LORD.

¹⁰ They shall mock the kings, and laugh the princes to scorn. They shall not set by any strong hold, for they shall lay ordinance against it, and take it. ¹¹ Then shall they take a fresh courage unto them, to go forth and do more evil, and so ascribe that power unto their God.

²⁰ These are the children of Seir the Horite, the inhabiter of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, ²¹ Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. ²² And the children of Lotan were Hori and Heman. And Lotan's sister was called Timna. ²³ The children of Shobal were these: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam. ²⁴ These were the children of Zibeon: Aia and Anah; this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed his father Zibeon's asses. ²⁵ The children of Anah were these: Dishon and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. ²⁶ These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. ²⁷ The children of Ezer were these: Bilhan, Zaavan and Akan. ²⁸ The children of Dishan were: Uz and Aran. ²⁹ These are the dukes that came of Hori: duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, ³⁰ duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan. These be the dukes that came of Hori in their dukedoms in the land of Seir.

¹² In like manner the Horites dwelt in Seir, before time: which the children of Esau cast out, and destroyed them before them, and dwelt there in their stead: as Israel did in the land of his possession which the LORD gave them.

³⁸ The sons of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. ³⁹ The sons of Lotan: Hori and Homam; and Timna was Lotan's sister. ⁴⁰ The sons of Shobal: Alian, Manahath, Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. ⁴¹ The sons of Anah: Dishon. The sons of Dishon: Hamran, Eshbon, Ithran and Cheran. ⁴² The sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan and Jaakan. The sons of Dishan: Uz, and Aran.

¹⁴ Pathrusim and Casluhim: from whence came the Philistines, and the Caphthorines.

³ from Shihor in Egypt unto the borders of Ekron northward, which land was counted to pertain unto the Cananites, even to the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazathites, Ashdothites, Eshkalonites, Gittites, Ekronites, with the Avites,

²⁴ For he ruled in all the regions on the other side Euphrates from Tiphsah to Gaza and also over all the kings on the other side the said Euphrates. And he had peace with all his servants on every side.

²⁰ and all kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistine's land - Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the remnant of Ashdod -

⁴ at the same time when he shall be there to destroy the whole land of the Philistines. He shall make waste both Tyre and Sidon and all others that are sworn unto them. For the LORD will destroy all Philistia, and the other Isles that be divided from the country.

⁷ O ye children of Israel, are ye not unto me, even as the Ethiopian?" sayeth the LORD, "Have not I brought Israel out of the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphthor, and the Syrians from Kir?

⁴ For Gaza shall be destroyed, and Ashkelon shall be laid waste. They shall cast out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be plucked up by the roots.

⁵ This shall Ashkelon see, and be afraid. Gaza shall be very sorry, so shall Ekron also, because her hope is come of confusion. For the king of Gaza shall perish; and at Ashkelon shall no man dwell.

¹³ And they departed thence and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which river is in the wilderness, and cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. ¹⁴ Wherefore it is spoken in the book of the war of the LORD, "Go with a violence, both on the river of Arnon ¹⁵ and on the river's head, which shooteth down to dwell at Ar, and leaneth upon the coasts of Moab."

³⁶ from Aroer upon the brink of the river of Arnon, and the city in the river, unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us. The LORD our God delivered all unto us:

¹⁶ And at the seventh time, the priests blew with the horns, and Joshua said unto the people, "Shout! For the LORD hath given you the city.

¹⁸ And then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came along by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of the river of Arnon, and came not within the coasts of the Moabites: for Arnon was their utmost border. ¹⁹ And then Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, and king of Heshbon, and said unto him, 'Let us pass through thy land unto our own country.' ²⁰ But Sihon trusted not Israel, to go through his coasts: but gathered all his people together and pitched in Jahaz, and fought with Israel. ²¹ But the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his folk into the hands of Israel. And so Israel smote them and conquered all the land of the Amorites, the inhabiters of the said country.

²³ "Thus sayeth Cyrus king of Persia: 'All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me, which hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem that is in the land of Judah. Wherefore, whosoever is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.'"

² "Thus sayeth Cyrus the king of Persia: 'The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the land and hath commanded me to build him a house at Jerusalem in Judah.

²⁰ For the work which he wrought about it, I have given him the land of Egypt, because they wrought for me, sayeth the LORD God.

³⁸ And hath delivered thee all things that are among the children of men: the beasts of the field, and the fowls under the heaven, and given thee dominion over them all. Thou art that golden head.

¹⁷ This errand of the watcher, is a commandment grounded and sought out, in the counsel of him that is most holy: to learn men for to understand, that the highest hath power over the kingdoms of men; and giveth them to whom it liketh him, and bringeth the very outcasts of men over them.'

¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines. ¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted. ¹⁶ Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten.

²⁷ I will send my fear before thee and will kill all the people whither thou shalt go. And I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee,

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall cast the fear and dread of you upon all lands whither ye shall come, as he hath said unto you,

¹⁰ And all nations of the earth shall see that thou art called after the name of the LORD, and they shall be afeared of thee.

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the reed sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan; Sihon, and Og, which ye utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint. And there remained no more courage in any man for fear of your coming. For the LORD your God; he is the God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath. ¹² Now, therefore, swear unto me by the LORD because I have showed you mercy, that ye shall also show mercy unto my father's house and give me a true token.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you.

⁶ For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, and the noise of a great Host. Insomuch that they said one to another, "See, the king of Israel hath hired against us, the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt, to come upon us." ⁷ And upon that they arose and fled in the dark, and left their tents, their horses, their asses and the field they had pitched even as it was, and fled for their lives.

³⁸ Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were afraid of them.

⁹ And this shall get me a name, and praise and honour, among all people of the earth, which shall hear all the good, that I will show unto them: Yea, they shall be afraid and astonished at all the good deeds and benefits that I will do for them.

⁹ Behold, I make them of the congregation of Satan — which call themselves Jews and are not, but do lie -Behold, I will make them that they shall come and worship before thy feet: and shall know that I love thee.

¹⁰ When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, offer them peace. ¹¹ And if they answer thee again peaceably, and open unto thee, then let all the people that is found therein be tributaries unto thee and serve thee.

¹⁸ Jahaz, Kedemoth and Mephaath;

³⁷ Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs: Four cities.

³⁰ and sent the letters unto all the Jews, in the hundred and seven and twenty lands of the empire of Ahasuerus, with friendly and faithful words,

¹² And when ye come into a house, salute the same. ¹³ And if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it: but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you again. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor will hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodom, and Gomorra, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

⁵ Into whatsoever house ye enter in, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him, if not, it shall return to you again.

¹⁰ "But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, if they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, ¹¹ Even the very dust, which cleaveth on us of your city, we wipe off against you: Notwithstanding, mark this, that the kingdom of God was come nigh upon you. ¹² Yea and I say unto you: that it shall be easier in that day, for Sodom than for that city.

²¹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying, ²² "Let us go through thy land; We will not turn into thy fields nor into thy vineyards, neither drink of the water of the wells: but we will go along by the common way, until we be past thy country." ²³ And Sihon would give Israel no license to pass through his country, but gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel.

⁶ Ye shall buy meat of them, for money, to eat; and ye shall buy water of them, for money, to drink.

¹⁹ And then Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, and king of Heshbon, and said unto him, 'Let us pass through thy land unto our own country.'

¹² "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

¹⁸ And Edom answered him, "See thou come not by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword."

¹ And now hearken, Israel, unto the ordinances and laws which I teach you, for to do them: that ye may live and go and conquer the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

²¹ Furthermore, the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan and that I should not go unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inheritance.

⁴⁰ Keep therefore his ordinances, and his commandments which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth which the LORD thy God giveth thee forever."

¹⁶ 'Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: that thou mayest prolong thy days, and that it may go well with thee on the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

⁶ Understand therefore that it is not for thy righteousness' sake, that the LORD thy God doth give thee this good land to possess it, for thou art a stiff-necked people.

³ The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not come into the congregation of the LORD; no, not in the tenth generation, no they shall never come in to the congregation of the LORD, ⁴ because they met you not with bread and water in the way when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor, the interpreter of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

¹⁵ But thou shalt have a perfect and a just measure: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

¹¹ "Go through the midst of the host, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare you victuals: for after three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go and enjoy the land which the LORD your God giveth you, to possess it.'" ¹² And unto the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh spake Joshua, saying, ¹³ "Remember that which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land. ¹⁴ Let your wives, your children and your cattle remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan: But go ye before your brethren armed, all that be men of war, and help them ¹⁵ until the LORD hath given your brethren rest, as he hath you, and until they also have obtained the land which the LORD your God giveth them. And then return unto the land of your possession and enjoy it, which land Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rising."

¹⁷ and sent messengers unto the king of Edom saying, 'Let us, we pray thee, go through thy land.' But the king of Edom would not agree thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab, but he would not consent. And so Israel abode still in Kadesh. ¹⁸ And then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came along by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of the river of Arnon, and came not within the coasts of the Moabites: for Arnon was their utmost border.

²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "When thou art come into Egypt again, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart, so that he shall not let the people go.

¹⁰ And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

¹⁹ for there was no city that made peace with the children of Israel, save those Hittites that inhabited Gibeon. All other they took with battle, ²⁰ for it came of the LORD to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle: even to destroy them utterly, that they should have no mercy, but to bring them to naught. As the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁰ But Sihon trusted not Israel, to go through his coasts: but gathered all his people together and pitched in Jahaz, and fought with Israel.

⁴ Howbeit, I knew that thou art obstinate, and that thy neck hath an iron vein, and thy brow is of brass.

¹⁷ For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose have I stirred thee up, to show my power on thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the world." ¹⁸ So hath he mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he maketh hard hearted. ¹⁹ Thou wilt say then unto me, "Why then blameth he us yet? For who can resist his will?" ²⁰ But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?" ²¹ Hath not the potter power over the clay, even of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? ²² Even so, God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation, ²³ that he might declare the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared unto glory:

⁸ Behold, I have set the land before you: go in therefore and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.'

²⁴ 'Rise up, take your journey and go over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon, and his land. Go to, and conquer and provoke him to battle.

²³ And Sihon would give Israel no license to pass through his country, but gathered all his people together and went out against Israel into the wilderness. And he came to Jahaz and fought with Israel. ²⁴ And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and conquered his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok: even unto the children of Ammon. For the borders of the children of Ammon are strong. ²⁵ And Israel took all these cities and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites: in Heshbon and in all the towns that long thereto. ²⁶ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites which Sihon had fought before with the king of the Moabites, and had taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon. ²⁷ Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say: "Go to Heshbon and let the city of Sihon be built and made ready! ²⁸ For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and hath consumed Ar of the Moabites and the men of the hills of Arnon! ²⁹ Woe be to thee, Moab! O people of Chemosh, ye are forlorn! His sons are put to flight and his daughters brought captive unto Sihon, king of the Amorites! ³⁰ Their light is out, from Heshbon unto Dibon! And we made a wilderness even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba!"

²⁰ But Sihon trusted not Israel, to go through his coasts: but gathered all his people together and pitched in Jahaz, and fought with Israel. ²¹ But the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his folk into the hands of Israel. And so Israel smote them and conquered all the land of the Amorites, the inhabiters of the said country. ²² And they conquered all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness unto Jordan. ²³ So now seeing the LORD God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people, shouldest thou possess the land?

²² And thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and partest them according to their portions, so that they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og the king of Bashan.

⁷ I labour for peace; but when I speak unto them thereof, they make them ready to battle.

¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan -

¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites! For his mercy endureth forever.

²⁰ And blessed be God the most highest, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hands." And Abram gave him tithes of all.

²⁴ And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword and conquered his land, from Arnon unto Jabbok: even unto the children of Ammon. For the borders of the children of Ammon are strong.

² And the LORD said unto me, "Fear him not, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into thy hand and thou shalt deal with him as thou dealtest with Sihon king of the Amorites which dwelt at Heshbon.' ³ And so the LORD our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Bashan and all his folk. And we smote him until nought was left him.

² and when the LORD thy God hath set them before thee that thou shouldest smite them: see that thou utterly destroy them and make no covenant with them nor have compassion on them.

¹⁶ But in the cities of these nations which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.

⁷ And at the last ye came unto this place, and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against you unto battle, and we smote them ⁸ and took their land and gave it a heritance unto the Reubenites and Gadites and to the half tribe of Manasseh.

³⁰ And the LORD delivered it also into their hands, with the king also, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain in it, and did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. ³¹ After that, Joshua departed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and besieged it, and assaulted it. ³² And the LORD delivered, into the hands of Israel, Lachish; that they took it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he did to Libnah. ³³ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish: But Joshua smote him and his people, until he left him nought remaining. ³⁴ And from Lachish, Joshua departed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and there besieged it, and assaulted it, ³⁵ and took it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein: and utterly destroyed them the same day, according to all that he did to Lachish. ³⁶ Then Joshua departed up from Eglon and all Israel with him, unto Hebron. And they fought against it, ³⁷ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the towns that pertained to it, and all the souls that were therein, so that they left nought remaining: but in all things as they did to Eglon, so they destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein. ³⁸ Then Joshua returned and all Israel with him to Debir, and they fought against it, ³⁹ and took it, and the king thereof and all the towns that pertained thereto. And smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein, and let nought remain. And as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and the king thereof, and as he did to Libnah and her king. ⁴⁰ And Joshua smote all the hill countries and the south countries, and the valleys, and the springs of water, with all their kings and let nought remain, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. ⁴¹ And Joshua smote them from Kadesh Barnea, unto Gaza, and all the coasts of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. ⁴² And all those kings and their land, Joshua took at one time: because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

⁴⁴ And the LORD gave the rest round about according to all that he sware unto their fathers. So that there stood not a man of all their enemies before them. But the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hands.

⁴ And Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Cananites and Perezites into their hands. And they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

² And the LORD said unto Gideon, "The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make her vaunt to my dishonour and say, 'Our own hand hath saved us.'

²⁸ Notwithstanding, no dedicated thing that a man dedicateth unto the LORD, of all his goods — whether it be man or beast or land of his inheritance — shall be sold or redeemed: for all dedicated things are most holy unto the LORD. ²⁹ No dedicated thing therefore that is dedicated of man, may be redeemed, but must needs die.

² Then Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD and said, "If thou wilt give this people into our hands, we will destroy their cities." ³ And the LORD heard the voice of Israel, and delivered them the Canaanites. And they destroyed both them and their cities, and called the place Hormah.

⁶ And we utterly destroyed them, as we played with Sihon king of Heshbon: bringing to nought all the cities with men, women and children.

²⁶ Bring not therefore the Abomination to thine house, lest thou be a damned thing as it is: but utterly defy it and abhor it, for it is a thing that must be destroyed.

¹⁶ But in the cities of these nations which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth. ¹⁷ But shalt destroy them without redemption, both the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perezites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee, ¹⁸ that they teach you not to do after all their abominations which they do unto their gods, and so should sin against the LORD your God.

¹¹ Israel hath sinned and also transgressed my covenant, which I commanded them, and have taken of the excommunicate things, and have stolen and hid them, and also put them unto their own stuff:

²⁵ And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. ²⁶ For Joshua plucked not his hand back again which he stretched out with the spear, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabiters of Ai.

¹⁴ but all the spoil of the said cities and the cattle, the children of Israel caught unto themselves. But the men only they smote with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them,

³ Now therefore go and smite the Amalekites, and only destroy ye all that pertaineth unto them, and see thou have no compassion on them. But slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, and ox, sheep, camel and ass.'"

⁸ and took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. ⁹ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and they left of the sheep and of the oxen and fat things and the lambs and all that was good, and would not destroy them. But all that was nought worth and flaggy, that they destroyed utterly.

⁹ And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian prisoners, and their children; and spoiled all their cattle, their substance and their goods. ¹⁰ And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles, with fire. ¹¹ And they took all the spoil and all they could catch, both of men and beasts.

¹⁴ save the women and the children and the cattle and all that is in the city and all the spoil thereof take unto thyself and eat the spoil of thine enemies which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

²⁷ Only the cattle and the spoil of the said city, Israel took unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD, which he commanded Joshua.

¹² And when we had conquered this land the same time, I gave from Aroer, which is upon the river of Arnon, and half mount Gilead and the cities thereof unto the Reubenites, and Gadites.

⁴⁸ from Aroer upon the bank of the river Arnon, unto mount Sirion which is called Hermon,

⁵ There shall not a man be able to withstand thee all the days of thy life. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee and will neither leave thee, nor forsake thee.

² Sihon king of the Amorites that dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which lieth on the brim of the river of Arnon, and to the middle of the river, and half Gilead unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;

⁹ from Aroer that lieth on the brim of the river Arnon, with the city in the midst of the river. And all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

¹⁶ And their coasts were from Aroer that lieth on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that lieth in the river, and all the plain about Medeba,
