¹ Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel,––none came out and none went in.

⁷ Now, therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance, unto the nine tribes,––and the half tribe of Manasseh. ⁸ With them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance,––which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them: ⁹ from Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the city, which is in the midst of the ravine, and all the table–land of Medeba, as far as Dibon; ¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon,––as far as the boundary of the sons of Ammon; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan, as far as Salecah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og, in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,––he, being left of the remnant of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them; ¹³ the sons of Israel, however, did not dispossess, the Geshurites or the Maacathites,––but Geshur and Maacath have remained in the midst of Israel until this day. ¹⁴ Howbeit, unto the tribe of Levi, gave he no inheritance,––the altar–flames of Yahweh God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spake unto him. ¹⁵ Thus then Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families; ¹⁶ and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table–land by Medeba; ¹⁷ Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table–land,––Dibon and Bamoth–baal, and Beth–baal–meon; ¹⁸ and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath; ¹⁹ and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth–shahar on the mount of the vale; ²⁰ and Beth–peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth–jeshimoth; ²¹ and all the cities of the table–land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon,––whom Moses smote––with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land; ²² Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain. ²³ And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof. ²⁴ And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families; ²⁵ and their boundary was––Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon,––as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah; ²⁶ and from Heshbon as far as Ramath–mizpeh, and Botonim,––and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir; ²⁷ and in the valley––Beth–haram and Beth–nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district,––as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward. ²⁸ This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families,––the cities and the villages thereof. ²⁹ And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh,––so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families; ³⁰ and their boundary was––from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three–score cities; ³¹ and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families.

³³ But, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance,––Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

¹ And, these, are the inheritances which the sons of Israel received in the land of Canaan,––which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the ancestral heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel gave them to inherit. ² By lot, was their inheritance divided,––as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, unto the nine tribes and unto the half tribe.

²⁸ and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath [and] Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages. This, is the inheritance of the song of Benjamin, by their families.

¹ And the second lot came out, for Simeon, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families,––and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah. ² And they had for their inheritance,––Beer–sheba or Sheba, and Moladah, ³ and Hazar–shual, and Balah, and Ezem, ⁴ and Eltolad and Bethul, and Hormah, ⁵ and Ziklag and Beth–marcaboth, and Hazar–susah, ⁶ and Beth–lebaoth, and Sharuhen,––thirteen cities, with their villages: ⁷ Ain, Rimmon, and Ether and Ashan,––four cities, with their villages, ⁸ and all the villages that were round about these cities, as far as Baalath–beer, Ramah of the South. This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families: ⁹ Out of the portion of the sons of Judah, is the inheritance of the sons of Simeon,––for it came to pass that what was allotted to the sons of Judah, was too much for them, therefore did the sons of Simeon receive an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

⁵¹ These, are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and the ancestral heads distributed for inheritance to the tribes of the sons of Israel, by lot, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting,––so they made an end of apportioning the land.

² and spake unto them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: Yahweh himself, commanded, by the hand of Moses, that there should be given unto us cities to dwell in,––with their pasture–lands for our cattle.

¹⁷ And, out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon, with her pasture land,––Geba, with her pasture land;

²² and Kibzaim, with her pasture land, and Beth–horon, with her pasture land,––four cities.

⁹ So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan,––to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

⁸ And the sons of Judah made war upon Jerusalem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,––and, the city, they set on fire.

²¹ But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out,––but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day. ²² Then went up the house of Joseph––they also,––unto Bethel,––and, Yahweh, was with them. ²³ And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel,––now, the name of the city, formerly, was, Luz. ²⁴ So the watchers saw a man, coming forth from the city,––and they said unto him––Shew us, we pray thee, the way to get into the city, and we will deal with thee, in lovingkindness. ²⁵ And he shewed them the way to get into the city, and they smote the city, with the edge of the sword,––but, the man and all his family, they let go. ²⁶ And the man went into the land of the Hittites,––and built a city, and called the name thereof, Luz, that, is the name thereof, unto this day.

¹⁷ Now the sons of Ammon were called out, and they encamped in Gilead,––and the sons of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.

⁹ And they said––Arise! and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and lo! it is very good,––are, ye, then, minded to do nothing? do not be too slothful to go, and enter, and take possession of the land.

³¹ So they set up for themselves the graven image of Micah, which he had made,––[and let it remain] all the days that the house of God was in Shiloh.

¹⁰ But the man would not tarry the night, but rose up and went his way, and came as far as over against Jebus, the same, is Jerusalem,––and, with him, were a couple of asses, saddled, his concubine also, was with him.

¹² And his lord said unto him, We will not turn aside into a city of aliens, who are, not of the sons of Israel,––but will pass on as far as Gibeah. ¹³ And he said to his young man, Come and let us draw near unto one of the places,––and tarry the night in Gibeah, or in Ramah. ¹⁴ So they passed on, and went their way,––and the sun went in upon them beside Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. ¹⁵ Then turned they aside there, to go in and tarry the night in Gibeah,––so he went in and abode in the broadway of the city; and there was no one minded to take them into a house, to tarry the night.

⁴ And the Levite, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said,––Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry the night. ⁵ And the owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night,––me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that she died.

¹⁹ Then said they––Lo! the festival of Yahweh in Shiloh, from year to year, Which [Shiloh] is on the north of Bethel, towards sunrise, by the highway that goeth up from Bethel, towards Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

¹ And there was a certain man, of Ramathaim–zuphi, of the hill country of Ephraim,––whose name, was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite;

³ So then that man went up, out of his city, from time to time, to worship and to sacrifice unto Yahweh of hosts, in Shiloh,––and, there, were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Yahweh.

²⁴ Then took she him up with her, when she had weaned him, with a bullock of three years old, and one ephah of meal, and a skin of wine, and took him to the house of Yahweh, at Shiloh,––the boy yet being young.

³ And, when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Yahweh smitten us today, before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us, out of Shiloh, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that, when it cometh into our midst, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies. ⁴ So the people sent to Shiloh, and bare from thence the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim,––and, there, were the two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, namely, Hophni and Phinehas.

¹ Then came the men of Kiriath–jearim and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab, in the hill,––and, Eleazar his son, hallowed they, to guard the ark of Yahweh. ² And so it was, that, from the day the ark came to dwell in Kiriath–jearim, the days multiplied, and became twenty years,––and all the house of Israel went mourning after Yahweh.

²⁶ Yea, even Saul, went to his own house, at Gibeah,––and the valiant men whose heart God had moved went with him.

¹⁵ And Samuel arose, and ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were found with him, about six hundred men. ¹⁶ Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin,––but, the Philistines, had encamped in Michmash. ¹⁷ And the spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;

⁴¹ And Saul said unto Yahweh––O God of Israel! now set forth the truth. Then were, Jonathan and Saul, taken, and, the people, escaped.

⁸ And David said, on that day––Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul,––for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.

² Then David, and all the people that were with him, arose and went beyond Baale Judah,––to bring up from thence, the ark of God, the name whereof is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim thereupon.

¹⁷ Now, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, were staying by En–rogel, and a maidservant was to go and tell them, and, they, were to go and tell King David,––for they might not be seen to enter the city.

¹⁴ so they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the grave of Kish his father, thus did they all that the king commanded,––and God suffered himself to be entreated for the land, after this.

⁹ And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and heifers, near the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En–rogel,––and invited all his brethren, sons of the king, and all the men of Judah, servants of the king;

²⁷ So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Yahweh,––to fulfill the word of Yahweh which he spake concerning the household of Eli, in Shiloh.

⁴ So then the king went to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for, that, was the great high place,––a thousand ascending–sacrifices, did Solomon offer up on that altar.
⁵ In Gibeon, Yahweh appeared unto Solomon, in a dream by night,––and God said, Ask, what I shall give thee.

² then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time,––as he appeared unto him, in Gibeon.

²⁹ And he set the one in Bethel,––and, the other, put he in Dan. ³⁰ And this thing became a sin,––and the people went before the one, as far as Dan. ³¹ And he made a house of high–places,––and made priests from the whole compass of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. ³² And Jeroboam made a festival in the eight month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival which [was held] in Judah, and offered up on the altar, likewise, did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves which he had made,––and he kept in attendance in Bethel, the priests of the high–places which he had made.

² Then said Jeroboam to his wife––Arise, I pray thee, and feign thyself another, that it be not known, that, thou, art the wife of Jeroboam,––and thou shalt go thy way to Shiloh, lo! there, is Ahijah the prophet, who promised I should be king over this people;

⁴ And the wife of Jeroboam, did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah,––now, Ahijah, could not see, for his eyes were fixed, by reason of his old age.

¹⁰ and he defiled Topheth, which was in the valley of the son of Hinnom,––so that no man might cause his son or his daughter to pass through the fire unto Molech;

⁵ So David convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of Hamath,––to bring the ark of God from Kiriath–jearim. ⁶ And David went up and all Israel to Baalah, unto Kiriath–jearim, which pertaineth to Judah,––to bring up from thence, the ark of God––Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.

⁹ Now, the Philistines, had come and spread themselves out, in the vale of Rephaim.

⁴ And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim,––and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!

³ and, he, burned incense, in the valley of the son of Hinnom,–and burnt his sons, in the fire, according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.

⁶ And, he, caused his sons to pass through the fire, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practised hidden arts and used divination, and practised sorcery, and appointed a necromancer, and a wizard,––he exceeded in doing the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger;

²⁵ The sons of Kiriath–arim, Chephirah and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty–three; ²⁶ The sons of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and twenty–one;

³⁰ The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred, and twenty–one;

⁵ Yahweh, is mine allotted portion and my cup, Thou, art maintaining my lot. ⁶ The lines, have fallen unto me, in pleasant places, Verily an inheritance that delighteth me.

⁴ He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. [Selah.]

⁵ For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

⁶⁶ So he smote his adversaries in the rear, Reproach age–abiding, laid he upon them.

¹¹ Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;

² So that thou direct, unto wisdom, thine ear, bend thy heart, unto understanding; ³ Yea if, for understanding, thou cry aloud, for knowledge, utter thy voice; ⁴ If thou seek her as silver, and, like hid treasure, thou search for her, ⁵ Then, shalt thou understand the reverence of Yahweh, and, the knowledge of God, shalt thou find. ⁶ For, Yahweh, giveth wisdom, out of his mouth, knowledge and understanding;

⁴ He becometh poor, who dealeth with a slack hand, but, the hand of the diligent, maketh rich.

⁴ The sluggard, desireth, but his soul hath, nothing. But, the soul of the diligent, shall be enriched.

¹⁹ The way of the sluggard, is like a thorn hedge, but, the path of the upright, is a raised road.

³³ Into the lap, is cast the lot, but, from Yahweh, is its every decision.

¹⁸ The lot causeth, contentions, to cease, and, the mighty, it parteth.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, with thy might, do,––for there is no work nor calculation nor knowledge nor wisdom, in hades, whither, thou, art going.

²⁹ They have passed over the pass, Geba is his halting–place,––Terror–stricken, is Ramah, Gibeah of Saul, hath fled!

¹⁵ And Yahweh, will devote to destruction, the gulf of the Egyptian sea, And will brandish his hand against the River[=Euphrates], in the full force of his spirit,––And will smite it in the seven streams, And cause a marching through in sandals;

²¹ For, as in Mount Perazim, will Yahweh arise, As in the vale of Gibeon, will he be stirred,––To do his work–foreign, is his work, And to perform his task–strange, is his task.

³³ For there hath been set in order, beforehand, a Topheth, Yea, the same, for the king, hath been prepared, He hath made it deep––made it large,––The circumference thereof is for fire and wood in abundance, The breath of Yahweh, like a torrent of brimstone, is ready to kindle it.

¹² For go, I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first,––And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel! ¹³ Now, therefore––Because ye have done all these deeds, Declareth Yahweh,––And though, I, spake unto you, betimes, speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you, Yet ye answered not, ¹⁴ Therefore will I do to the house, Whereon my Name hath been called, Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers,––Just as I did unto Shiloh;

³¹ And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters, in the fire,––Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on my heart. ³² Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more––The Topheth, nor, The valley of Ben–hinnom, but, The valley of Slaughter,––And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;

² Then shalt thou go forth into the valley of Ben–hinnom, which is at the opening of the gate of potsherds; and proclaim there, the words which I shall speak unto thee;

⁶ Therefore, lo! days coming, Declareth Yahweh, When this place shall be called no longer, The Topheth, or, The Valley of Ben–hinnom,––but––The Valley of Slaughter;

¹¹ and shalt say unto them––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts––Thus and thus, will I break this people, and this city, As one breaketh the vessel of a potter, which cannot be made whole any more,––And, in Topheth, shall they bury, for want of place to bury.

⁶ Then I will make this house like Shiloh,––And, this city, will I make a contempt, to all the nations of the earth.

¹⁵ Thus, saith Yahweh––A voice, in Ramah, is heard, Wailing, bitter weeping, Rachel, weeping for her children,––She refuseth to be comforted for her children, For they are, not!

³⁵ And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben–hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not, Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing,––Causing, Judah, to sin!

²² And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot as an inheritance, to yourselves and to the sojourners who are sojourning in your midst, who have begotten children in your midst,––so shall they be to you as a native among the sons of Israel, with you, shall they cast lots for an inheritance, in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

²⁹ This, is the land which ye shall divide by lot for inheritance, to the tribes of Israel,––and, these, shall be their portions, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh,

¹⁵ Though unchaste art thou, O Israel, let not Judah, become guilty, neither let them enter Gilgal, nor go up to Beth–aven, and [then] swear, By the life of Yahweh!

⁸ Blow ye a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah,––sound an alarm at Beth–aven, behind thee, O Benjamin!

⁵ About the calves of Beth–aven, will the inhabitant of Samaria be concerned,––for the people thereof, have mourned over it, and, the ascetics thereof, who, over it, used to exult, [shall mourn] for the glory thereof, because it hath departed therefrom.

⁹ Beyond the days of Gibeah, hast thou sinned, O Israel: there, came they to a stand, the battle against the sons of perversity, touched them not in Gibeah.

¹⁶ In that day, shall it be said––to Jerusalem, Do not fear,––O Zion, Let not thy hands hang down:

⁶ And, about the eleventh, going forth, he found others, standing, and saith unto them––Why, here, stand ye, all the day, unemployed?

³⁵ And, having crucified him, they parted among themselves his garments, casting a cloth;

⁵⁷ And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus.

³⁰ And taking up [the question], Jesus said––A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in,––who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.

¹ And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;

²⁷ Be working, not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that endureth unto life age–abiding,––which, the Son of Man, unto you, will give; for upon, the same, hath the Father, even God, set his seal.

² Even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that, as touching whatsoever thou hast given him, he might give unto them, life age–abiding.

²⁴ And, praying, they said––Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen,––of these two, one; –– ²⁵ To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place. ²⁶ And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

¹⁹ And, overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, gave them their land as an inheritance––about four hundred and fifty years.

¹⁸ To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.

¹⁹ Hence, then, the things pertaining to peace, let us pursue, and the things which belong to the upbuilding one of another:

¹³ Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however,––the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out, ¹⁴ With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Giving thanks unto the Father that hath made you sufficient for your share in the inheritance of the saints in the light,

¹⁰ Wherefore, all the more, brethren, give diligence to be making, firm, your calling and election; for, these things, doing, in nowise shall ye stumble at any time, ¹¹ For, thus, shall richly be further supplied unto you––the entrance into the age–abiding kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
