⁴⁵ Akkaron, and the villages thereof, with their sheepcots; ⁴⁶ bordering on Akkaron, Gemna, and all that lay near Asedoth, with their villages; ⁴⁷ Asiedoth, and the sheepcots thereof, Gaza, and the villages thereof, and its sheepcots, to the brook of Egypt; and the great sea is the boundary.

And his horsemen and his army found them encamped by the sea with the sheep cot on one flank and Beelsepphon on the other. ¹⁰ And as Pharao approached; the children of Israel raising their eyes saw the Egyptians encamping in their rear and were greatly terrified. And the Israelites cried to the Lord, ¹¹ and said to Moses, Was it because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, that thou hast brought us out to die in the wilderness? Why hast thou dealt thus with us in bringing us out of Egypt? ¹² Is not this what we told thee in Egypt saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?

For in the manner you have seen the Egyptians this day, you shall never see them again any more. ¹⁴ The Lord will fight for you. Be ye therefore silent. ¹⁵ Now the Lord had said to Moses, Why criest thou to me? Speak to the children of Israel and let them prepare for marching. ¹⁶ And lift thou up thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and divide it, and let the children of Israel go into the midst of the sea as on dry ground. ¹⁷ And behold I will embolden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians and they will go in after them. And I shall be glorified by Pharao and by all his army and by his chariots and by his horses. ¹⁸ And all the Egyptians shall know, that I am the Lord when I make myself glorious by Pharao and by his chariots and his horses. ¹⁹ Now the Angel of the Lord who marched before the camp of the Israelites had removed and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud had removed from the front and taken its station in the rear. ²⁰ And when it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel and had taken its station; there came on a thick darkness and night intervened so that they did not intermix one with the other during that whole night. ²¹ And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord restrained the sea that whole night with a strong south easterly wind and made the sea dry ground; and the water was cleft asunder. ²² And the Israelites went into the midst of the sea as on dry ground. And the water thereof was a wall on the right and a wall on the left. ²³ And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them, even all Pharao's cavalry and his chariots and charioteers, into the midst of the sea. ²⁴ And in the morning watch, the Lord cast a look on the army of the Egyptians with the pillar of fire and cloud, and threw the Egyptian army into confusion, ²⁵ and entangled their chariot wheels and caused them to drag on heavily; whereupon the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. ²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea and bring back the water to its place; and let it overwhelm the Egyptians, their chariots and their horsemen. ²⁷ So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and about day break the water was brought back to its place. And when the Egyptians were fleeing below the water the Lord shook them off in the midst of the sea; ²⁸ and the water being brought back to its place overwhelmed the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharao who had marched after the Israelites into the sea, so that not one of them was left. ²⁹ But the Israelites marched on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the water was a wall to them on their right and on their left. ³⁰ Thus did the Lord on that day deliver Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore. ³¹ And when Israel saw that great hand; what the Lord had done to the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord, and they put confidence in God and in Moses his servant.

⁵ Not a man shall withstand you all the clays of thy life. As I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

⁹ Behold I have commanded thee; be strong and courageous: fear not, nor be dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.

¹² therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before the face of their enemies. They shall turn back before their enemies, because they are become devoted. I will no more be with you, unless you remove the Anathema from among you.

¹ Now when Jabis, king of Azor, heard this, he sent to Jobab king of Maram, and to the king of Symoon, and to the king of Aziph, ² and to the kings who bordered on great Sidon, to the hilly country, and to Araba over against Keneroth, and to the plain, and to Phenaeddor, ³ and to the Chananites, on the eastern shore of the sea, and to the Amorites, on the sea shore, and to the Chettites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites, on the mountain, and to the Evites, and to those at the foot of Aermon, to the land of Massuma; ⁴ and they, and their kings with them, came out like the sand of the sea for multitude, with horses and chariots in great abundance. ⁵ And when all these kings had assembled, and formed a junction, and encamped at the water of Maron to fight against Israel; ⁶ the Lord said to Joshua, Be not afraid of them, for to-morrow, about this time, I will deliver them up vanquished before Israel. Thou shalt hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. ⁷ So Joshua and all the warriors came upon them suddenly, at the water of Maron, and fell upon them in the hilly country: ⁸ and the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel, and they pursued them with slaughter, to great Sidon, and to Maseron, and to the plains of Massoch, eastward, and hewed them down till there was none of them left alive. ⁹ And Joshua did to them as the Lord commanded him. Their horses he hamstringed; and their chariots he burned with fire

¹² now therefore I ask of thee that mountain, as the Lord said on that day; for thou didst hear the word on that day. The' Enakims indeed are now there; the cities are fortified and large; if then the Lord be with me, I will exterminate them, as the Lord said to me.

¹⁶ Whereupon they said we are not satisfied with mount Ephraim, and the Chananites, who dwell there in Baithsan, and its villages, and in the valley of Jezrael, have choice horses, and iron. ¹⁷ But Joshua said to the children of Joseph, If thou art a numerous people, and hast great power, thou wilt not have one lot only, ¹⁸ for the forest will be thine. Though it is a forest thou canst clear it, and it shall be thine when thou hast rooted out the Chananites. For though they have choice horses, thou shalt excel them in strength.

² And the Lord said, Juda shall go up. Behold I have delivered the land into his hand.

²⁷ But Manasses did not take Baithsan, [which is now called Scythopolis] nor its towns; nor the lands about it; nor Thenak, nor any of its towns; nor the inhabitants of Dor, nor any of its towns; nor the inhabitants of Balak, nor any of the habitations about it, nor its towns; nor the inhabitants of Magedo, nor any of the habitations around it, nor its towns; nor the inhabitants of Jeblaam, nor any of its surrounding habitations, nor its towns; So the Chananites took the opportunity to settle in that land; ²⁸ but when Israel grew strong, they subjected the Chananites to tribute, but did not utterly root them out. ²⁹ Neither did Ephraim drive out the Chananites who dwelt in Gazer. So the Chananites dwelt among them in Gazer, and became tributaries. ³⁰ Neither did Zabulon drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana; so the Chananites continued to dwell among them and became tributary to them. ³¹ Neither did Aser drive out the inhabitants of Akcho; but it became tributary to them; nor the inhabitants of Dor; nor the inhabitants of Sidon; nor the inhabitants of Dalaph; nor the Aschazites; nor the Chebdaites; nor the Naites; nor the Ereoites. ³² So Aser dwelt in the midst of the Chananites who inhabited that land, because he could not drive them out.

¹² press, with an intent to flee from before Madiam. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, The Lord ¹³ is with thee" the Mighty Lord of Hosts. Whereupon Gideon said to him, With me, my lord! But if the Lord is with us, why have these evils befallen us? And where are all his wondrous works, of which our fathers have told us, saying, Hath not the Lord brought us up out of Egypt? But he hath now cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Madiam.

¹⁰ And David advanced in prosperity, and grandeur, and the Lord Almighty was with him.

⁷ And the Lord was with him and assisted him in all that he did. And he revolted from the king of Assyria and would not serve him.

⁷ The Lord of armies is with us; our helper is the God of Jacob.

⁹ he is making wars to cease to the ends of the earth. He will break the bow and shiver the lance, and shields he will utterly consume with fire.

¹¹ The Lord of armies is with us, our helper is the God of Jacob.

¹² Through God we can exert power, he can bring to nothing them who afflict us.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and he shall be called Emmanuel.

¹⁰ and what counsel soever you may take, the Lord will defeat it; and what word soever you may speak shall not take effect among you; because God is with us:

¹⁰ Fear not, for I am with thee; be not led astray, for I am thy God. I have strengthened thee and helped thee, and secured thee with my just right hand.

¹⁴ Fear not, Jacob, diminutive Israel! I have helped thee, saith thy God, who redeemeth thee, Israel. ¹⁵ Behold I have made thee like the wheels of a wain bruising to pieces a brood of pigeons: thou indeed shalt grind mountains and reduce hills to small pieces, and make them like dust:

²³ "The virgin shall conceive and bear a son and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel," the meaning of which is, God with us:

³⁰ But perceiving the wind strong, he was afraid, and, beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Master, save me. ³¹ And Jesus immediately stretched forth his hand and took hold of him, saying, Distrustful man, why didst thou doubt?

¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁰ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to that mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it would remove; and nothing would be impossible to you:

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

¹³ I can undergo all things through Christ who strengthened me.

²⁴ But with regard to my servant Chaleb, because there was a different spirit in him, and he followed me, him I will bring into the land to which he went, and his seed shall inherit it.

³⁶ save Chaleb son of Jephonne. He shall see it. And to him I will give the land to which he went up, and to his children, because he vindicateth the cause of the Lord.

⁹ so Moses solemnly promised that day, saying, The land to which thou hast gone up shall be thy lot, and thy children's forever, for a possession, because thou hast determined to follow the Lord our God. ¹⁰ Now the Lord hath kept me alive as he said. This is the forty fifth year since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, and Israel commenced their wanderings in the wilderness. And behold I am now eighty five years of age; ¹¹ yet I am now as strong as when Moses sent me; as able now as then to go out and come in to battle; ¹² now therefore I ask of thee that mountain, as the Lord said on that day; for thou didst hear the word on that day. The' Enakims indeed are now there; the cities are fortified and large; if then the Lord be with me, I will exterminate them, as the Lord said to me. ¹³ Thereupon Joshua blessed him, and gave to Chaleb son of Jephonne, the Kenezite, Chebron for a possession. ¹⁴ For this cause Chebron had become the possession of Chaleb son of Jephonne, the Kenezite, at this day, because he followed the command of the Lord God of Israel.

¹³ Now to Chaleb son of Jephonne he had given a portion in the midst of the children of Juda. By the command of God, Joshua had given him the city Arbok, the metropolis of Enak, the same is Chebron; ¹⁴ and Chaleb son of Jephonne had driven out thence the three sons of Enak, Sousi, and Tholami, and Achima.

¹¹ they gave them Kariatharbok, the capital of the Enakims, which is Chebron, on the mountain of Juda. Now the suburbs around it, ¹² and the fields belonging to the city, and the villages thereof, Joshua had given to the children of Chaleb, son of Jephonne, for a possession;

¹⁰ And when Juda went against the Chananites who dwelt in Chebron, [the name of which city formerly was Kariath-arbok-sepher,] Chebron came out against them; and they smote Sessi, and Achiman, and Tholmi, descendants of Enak,

¹¹ and the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came out first, according to their communities, and the bounds of their lot came out between the children of Juda, ¹² and the children of Joseph; and these were their borders. On the north their boundary was to go up from the Jordan, back of Jericho, on the north side, and to run westward to the mountain, and come out at Mabdaritis-Baithon; ¹³ thence the boundary was to run to the border of Louza, back of Louza on the south side of it, this is Baithel; thence the boundary was to run down to Maatarob-Orech, by the high land which is south of the lower Baithoron; ¹⁴ thence the boundary was to wind, and proceed to that part on the south which overlooketh the sea, from the mountain before Baithoron southward, and to terminate at Kariathbaal, that is Kariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This was the western part. ¹⁵ And with regard to the southern part; from a part of Kariathbaal, the boundary was to run to Gasin, by the fountain of water ¹⁶ Naphtho; thence the boundary was to run down part of the way, that is, in front of the forest Sonnam, which is the northern part of Emek-raphain; thence down to Gehenna, back of Jebusi, south of it, down to the fountain Rogel; ¹⁷ then to turn off to the fountain Baithsamys, and pass on to Galiloth, which is over against the steep of Aithamin; then down to the stone of Baion, one of the sons of Reuben; ¹⁸ then to run back of Baithabara, north of it, down to the border at the north end of the sea; ¹⁹ and the termination of this boundary was to be at the north bay of the salt sea, and at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary. ²⁰ And the Jordan was to be the eastern boundary. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, and these their borders round about, according to their communities. ²¹ And the cities of the Benjaminites according to their communities were Jericho, and Bethegaio, and Amekasis, ²² and Baithabara, and Sara, and Besana, ²³ and Aiein, and Phara, and Ephratha, ²⁴ and Karapha, and Kephira, and Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities with their villages: ²⁵ Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha, ²⁶ and Massema, and Miron, and Amoke, ²⁷ and Phira, and Kaphan, and Nakan, and Selekan, and Thareela, ²⁸ and Jebus, this is Jerusalem, and Gabaoth-Jarim, thirteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to their communities.

⁸ [Now the children of Juda had fought against Jerusalem, and taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire;

¹⁰ But the man would not consent to stay all night, but arose and departed, and came over against Jebus that is Jerusalem. Now he had with him a couple of asses, saddled, for himself and his concubine. ¹¹ And when they came to Jebus the day was far spent, so the servant said to his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in to this city of the Jebusites, and lodge there; ¹² But his master said, We will not turn aside to a strange city, in which there is none of the children of Israel, but go on to Gabaa.

⁶ When David and his men went to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites who inhabited that land, it was said to David, Thou shalt not come here; for the blind and the lame are opposed to it, saying, David shall not come here. ⁷ So when David took the fortress, Zion, the same is the city of David, ⁸ on that day David said, Whoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him also dispatch with a dagger those lame and those blind, even them who hate the soul of David: for this cause they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house of the Lord. ⁹ And David made his abode in the fort, so it was called the city of David. And David built the city, around the citadel and his own house.

²⁴ Thence he who hath strengthened Israel Is from the God of thy father;

¹⁰ of the children of Joseph; of the Ephraimites, Elisama, son of Emiud; of the Manassites, Gamaliel, son of Phadassur;

³² And of the children of Joseph; Of the Ephraimites, according to their pedigrees, according to their communities, according to the houses of their families, according to the number of their names by their poll, all the males from twenty years old and upwards, every one who went out in the army,

⁴ Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasses and Ephraim; there was therefore no portion of land given to the Levites, but only cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle; for they had cattle.

¹ And the borders of the children of Joseph were from the Jordan, in front of Jericho eastward, and to go up from Jericho to the hilly country; the wilderness to Baithel-louza, and having come out to Baithel, ² the boundary is to run along the borders of Achatarothi, ³ and proceed westward, along the borders of Aptalim, till it reacheth the borders of lower Baithoron; and the termination thereof is to be at the sea. ⁴ And when the children of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasses, got their possessions,

¹⁹ yet the Lord was with him, and he took possession of the mountain, for they were not enabled to drive out the inhabitants of the vale, because Rechab dissuaded them.

²⁹ and the villages thereof, and in the borders of the children of Manasses, Bethsan and its villages, Thanach and its villages, Mageddo and its villages, Dor and its villages. In this dwelt the children of Joseph son of Israel.

⁸ of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand; of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

¹⁹ and called the name of that place House of God. But the first name of this city was Oulamluz.

⁶ And when Jacob came to Louza which is in the land of Chanaan, the same is Baithel, he and all the people who were with him,

³ And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me at Louza in the land of Chanaan and blessed me

¹ Now Joshua son of Nave had sent from Sat tin two young men to spy, saying, Go up, and take a view of the land, and particularly of Jericho. And the two young men, having set out, entered Jericho, and went to the house of a harlot, whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

² so that when Joshua sent men to Gai, which is over against Baithel, saying, Take a view of Gai; and the men had gone up, and viewed Gai,

² So the children of Dan sent from their communities five men of valour, from Saraa, and from Esthaol, to view the land and examine it thoroughly, and said to them, Go and examine the land thoroughly. And they went to Mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

¹² swear now to me by the Lord your God, because I shew mercy to you, that you will shew mercy to my father's house; ¹³ and that you will save alive my father's household, my mother, and my brothers, and all my family, and all that belong to them, and that you will deliver my soul from death. ¹⁴ And the men said to her, Our life for yours even to death. Then she said to them. When the Lord delivereth up to you this city, you will deal mercifully and truly with me.

¹⁵ Then David said to him, Wilt thou conduct me to this horde? And he said, Swear to me now by God, that thou wilt not put me to death nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will conduct thee to the horde.

²² he said to the two young men who had been sent as spies, Go to the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, with all that she hath. ²³ And when the two young men, who had spied the city had gone to the house of the woman, and had brought out Rahab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and her kindred, and all that were with her, and placed them without the camp of Israel, ²⁴ the city was burned with fire, with all that were in it, save the silver, and gold, and the brass, and iron, which they gave to be carried to the treasury of the Lord. ²⁵ So Joshua saved Rahab the harlot, and all her father's household alive. And at this day they dwell among Israel, because she concealed the spies whom Joshua had sent to spy Jericho.

⁶ For the Lord had caused the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, and the sound of a great army to be heard in the Syrian camp: whereupon they said one to another, Now hath the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites and the kings of Egypt to come upon us.

¹⁷ They purchased, and came up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And at that rate they were brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and by their means for the kings of Syria.

³² Thou shalt not make a treaty with them and their gods,

¹¹ And Manasses was to have in Issachar, and in Aser, Baithsan, with their villages, and the inhabitants of Dor, and its villages, and the inhabitants of Mageddo, and its villages; and the third part of Mapheta, and its villages; ¹² but the Manassites were not able to exterminate the inhabitants of these cities. The Chananites had begun to settle in that land, ¹³ and when the Israelites became strong, they brought the Chananites into subjection, and did not utterly extirpate them.

²⁵ and from the half of the tribe of Manasses, Tanach with its suburbs, and Jebatha with its suburbs, two cities.

¹ Now, after the decease of Joshua, the children of Israel inquired of the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us as our leader against the Chananites, to conduct the war against them?

¹⁹ Kings had drawn themselves up in array. Then fought the kings of Chanaan at Thanach; At the waters of Mageddo; They had not received the gift of silver.

⁹ Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and spared the best of the flocks, and the herds, and provisions, and vineyards, and all that was good; and would not destroy them, but destroyed only what was of no estimation or of little value.

³⁴ They did not root out the nations which the Lord had mentioned to him: ³⁵ but mingled with those nations; and learned their works.

¹⁰ He is cursed who doth the work of the Lord negligently, withholding his sword from blood.

¹⁰ But Ephraim did not destroy the Chananites who dwelt in Gazer. So the Chananites have dwelt among the Ephraimites to this day.

¹⁶ [Omitted]

¹⁵ Including Katanath, and Nabaal, and Symoon, and Jericho, and Baithman,

²⁴ And the fifth lot came out for Aser, according to their communities; ²⁵ And their borders were Exaleketh, and Aleph, and Baithok, and Neaph, ²⁶ and Elimelech, and Amiel, and Maasa, and to join on Karmelo, westward, and on Sion and Labanath, ²⁷ and to turn from the rising of the sun, and Baithegeneth, and to join Zabulon, and Ekgai, and Phthaiel, on the north; then the boundary is to come to Saphthaibaithme, and Inael, and turn off to Chobamasomel, ²⁸ and Elbon, and Raab, and Ememaon, and Kanthan, till it reached great Sidon; ²⁹ Then the boundary is to turn up to Rama, and to the fountain Masphasset, and the Tyrians; Then the boundary is to turn up to Jasiph; and the termination of it is to be the sea, including Apoleb, and Echozob, ³⁰ and Archob, and Aphek, and Raau;

³² And the sixth lot came out for Nephthaleim, ³³ and their borders were Moolam, and Mola, and Besemin, and Arme, and Naboch, and Jephthamai, even to Dodam, and the terminations were the Jordan; ³⁴ then their boundary was to turn westward, by Aththabor, and then turn off to Jakana, and join Zabulon on the south, and Aser on the west, and Jordan on the east. ³⁵ Now the fenced cities of the Tyrians, were Tyre and Omathadaketh, and Kenereth, ³⁶ and Armaith, and Arael, and Asor, ³⁷ and Kades, and Assari, and Bathaser, ³⁸ and Keroe, and Megalaarim, and Baiththame, and Thessamus.

³⁰ Neither did Zabulon drive out the inhabitants of Kedron, nor the inhabitants of Domana; so the Chananites continued to dwell among them and became tributary to them.

³⁵ And the Amorites began to settle on the shelly mountains, on that frequented by bears, and on that frequented by foxes, namely on Myrsinoni, and on Thalabin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy on the Amorites, and they became tributary to them.

²⁴ and the Lord will reward me according to my righteousness, and according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

⁴⁷ Whereupon the children of Dan went and made war on Lachis, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and dwelt there, and called its name Lasen Dan. The Amorites continued also to dwell in Elom, and Salamin, but the hand of Ephraim was heavy upon them, and they were made tributaries to them.

¹ In those days there was no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of Dan was seeking to take possession of a lot of inheritance for themselves; for even till that day they had not got possession of the inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.

¹² Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day God delivered up the Amorite into the hand of Israel. When he had discomfited them at Gabaon, and they were routed before the children of Israel, Joshua said, Let the sun stand over against Gabaon, and the moon over against the valley of Ailon.

⁴² and Salamin, and Ammon, and Silatha,

¹² And Ailom the Zabulonite died, and was buried in Ailom, in the land of Zabulon.

⁹ Son Dakar, at Makis, and at Salabin, and at Baithsamys, and Elon even to Bethanon, another.

⁴ And your boundaries on the south shall be, from a part of the salt sea on the east, and that boundary shall encompass you on the south, to the ascent of Acrabin, and shall pass on to Ennak, and run along south of Kades-barne and come to the sheepcot of Arad, and pass along by Asemona:

² and thence their southern boundary was to a part of the salt sea. From that extreme point which stretcheth to the south, ³ the boundary beginneth its course over against the steep of Akrabin, and runneth round Sena, then goeth up south of Kades-barne, and runneth by Asoron, and goeth up to Sarada; and quitting this directly west of Kades,
