²⁴ Thou shalt not worship their gods nor serve them. Thou shalt not do according to their works; but destroy utterly and break in pieces their pillars

³¹ And I will establish thy boundaries from the Red sea to the sea of Philisteim, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates, and deliver into your hands those who are settled in the land, or drive them out from before thee. ³² Thou shalt not make a treaty with them and their gods, ³³ nor shall they dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me. For if thou serve their gods, they will be to thee a stumbling block.

¹² Take thou heed to thyself that thou make not a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou art going, lest it become a stumbling block to you. ¹³ Their altars you shall demolish: their pillars you shall break to pieces; and their groves you shall cut down; and the graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire. ¹⁴ For you must not worship other gods; for the Lord God, a zealous name, is a zealous God. ¹⁵ Peradventure, shouldst thou make a covenant with those settled in that land, when they go a whoring after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and invite thee thou mayst eat with them; ¹⁶ and shouldst thou take their daughters for thy sons and give some of thy daughters to their sons, thy daughters may go a whoring after their gods and thy sons may go a whoring after their gods. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not make for thyself molten gods.

¹ I am the Lord your God; you shall not make for yourselves carved or graven images, nor set up a pillar for yourselves, nor place a watch stone in your land to worship it. I am the Lord your God,

² When the Lord thy God shall deliver them into thy hands, thou shalt smite them; thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make a covenant with them. You shall neither shew them mercy, ³ nor contract marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son. ⁴ For she will cause thy son to apostatise from me, and to serve other gods, and the Lord will be provoked to wrath against you, and speedily destroy thee. ⁵ But in this manner thou shalt deal with them" their altars you shall destroy; their pillars you shall break to pieces; their groves you shall cut down; and the graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire.

²⁵ The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire. Thou shalt not covet the silver nor the gold thereof. Thou shalt not take any of it for thyself, lest thou be ensnared by it. Because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God, ²⁶ therefore thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house; for thou wilt be an Anathema as well as it. Thou shalt utterly detest it, and hold it in utter abomination; for it is an Anathema, [a devoted thing.]

² You shall utterly destroy all those places, in which they whom you succeed, have worshipped their gods, on the lofty mountains, and on the hills, and under every shady tree. ³ You shall level their mounts, and break in pieces their pillars, and cut down their groves, and burn the graven images of their gods with fire, so that their name may be destroyed out of that place.

³⁰ take heed to thyself that thou seek not to follow them after they are driven out from before thee, saying, How did these nations sacrifice to their gods? I will sacrifice in like manner. ³¹ Thou shalt not do so to thy God; for they sacrificed to their gods the abominations of the Lord, which he hated; for they burned their sons, and their daughters, with fire, to their gods.

¹⁶ Of these you shall save none alive that breatheth: ¹⁷ but, with an Anathema, thou shalt devote to destruction the Chettite and the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Gergasite, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; ¹⁸ that they may not teach you all their abominations which they have performed to their gods; and that you may not sin before the Lord your God:

¹¹ [Now Asor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.] And they slew every living soul in it, with the sword, and utterly destroyed all, so that there was not one left in it alive. And they burned Asor with fire. ¹² Then Joshua took all the cities of those kingdoms, and the kings thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

⁷ That you may have no fellowship with those nations which are left, the names of their gods must not be mentioned among you; nor shall you perform religious service to them, nor worship them;

² therefore you shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land, nor worship their gods; but you shall break to pieces their graven images, and demolish their altars. But you have not hearkened to my voice. Because you have done these things,

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. ³⁶ And served their graven images which became to them a stumbling block.

³¹ When you have gone in, to possess the land which the Lord our God giveth you for a perpetual possession, and you shall dwell therein,

⁸ When the Most High divided nations; When he dispersed the children of Adam, He settled the boundaries of nations, According to the number of God's messengers;

⁴³ Thus the Lord gave Israel all the land which he solemnly promised to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it, and dwelt therein;

¹ A Psalm by David, on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof, the World and all its inhabitants. ² Upon the seas he laid its foundations; and established it upon the floods.

¹⁶ To the Lord belongeth the heaven of heavens: and he hath given the earth to the sons of men.

⁵ As I have made the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm, I can give it to whom it seemeth good in mine eyes. ⁶ I have given this land to Nabuchodonosar king of Babylon to serve him, and the beasts of the field to work for him.

¹⁷ The sentence is by the decree of an Eir; and the decree is a request of holy ones, that the living may know that there is a sovereign Lord of the kingdom of men and that he can give it to whom he will, and set over it that which is disesteemed by men."

²⁵ Thou wilt be driven from among men; and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and they will feed thee with grass like an ox; and thou shalt lodge in the dew of heaven; and seven seasons shall revolve over thee, till thou be made sensible that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men and can give it to whom he will.

³² and thou shalt be driven from among men and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and they shall feed thee with grass like an ox; and seven seasons shall revolve over thee, that thou mayst know that the Most High ruleth over the kingdom of men and can give it to whom he will.

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I please with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good?

⁵³ Among these let the land be divided, that they may inherit it, by the number of names. ⁵⁴ To those who are many, thou shalt enlarge the inheritance; and to them who are few, thou shalt give the less inheritance. To every one, as they have been reviewed, their inheritance shall be given. ⁵⁵ Among these names the land shall be parcelled out, by lot. They shall inherit according to the tribes of their patriarchal families. ⁵⁶ By lot thou shalt parcel out their inheritance, to the many and the few.

¹ the borders of the tribe of Juda, according to their communities, were southward along the borders of Idumea, from the wilderness of Sin to Kades-barne; 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, ⁴ it proceeded on to Selmona, and thence to the torrent of Egypt, and the termination of this their boundary was to be at the sea. This is their southern boundary. ⁵ And their boundary on the east is the whole extent of the salt sea to the Jordan. And their boundary on the north, beginning at the head of the sea, and a part ⁶ of the Jordan, runneth up to Baithaglaam, and passeth along on the north side of Baitharaba; thence the boundary goeth up to the stone of Baion, son of Reuben; ⁷ thence the boundary advanceth on to the fourth part of the valley of Achor, then goeth down to Galgal, which is over against the steep of Adammin, which is on the south side of the valley; thence it striketh off to the water of the fountain of the sun, and its termination there is to be the fountain Rogel; ⁸ thence the boundary goeth up to the valley of Ennom, on the south side of Jebus, which is Jerusalem; then the boundary turneth off to the top of the mountain which is to the west, in front of the valley of Ennom, which is the northern part of the land of Raphain; ⁹ and from the top of the mountain the boundary turneth off to the fountain of water, Naphtho; and thence to the mountain Ephron; thence the boundary is to stretch on to Baal, which is the city of Jarim, ¹⁰ then the boundary is to come round west of Baal, and pass on to mount Assar, on the back and north side of the city Jarim, which is Chaslon, and go down to the city of the sun, passing it on the south side; ¹¹ then the boundary goeth out back of Akkaron northward; thence the boundary is to pass on to Sokchoth, and thence turning southward, to pass on to Lebna. And the termination of this boundary is to be at the sea. ¹² And with regard to the western boundary, the great sea is to be that boundary. These were the boundaries of the children of Juda, according to their communities round about.

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,

¹ And the borders of the tribe of the children of Manasses were these; Because he was the first born of Joseph, Machir the first born of Manasses, the father of Galaad, being a man of war, had a possession in Galaaditis, and in Basanitis; ² and the rest of the sons of Manasses had possessions according to their communities, namely, the sons of Jezi, and the sons of Kelez, and the sons of Jeziel, and the sons of Sychem, and the sons of Symarim, and the sons of Opher. These were the males according to their communities. ³ Now Salpaad, son of Opher, had no sons, but only daughters; and these were the names of the daughters of Salpaad, Maala, and Noua, and Egla, and Melcha, and Thersa; ⁴ and they stood before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, and before the chiefs and said, God hath, by the ministry of Moses, commanded to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Accordingly there was a possession given them, by the command of the Lord, among their father's brothers, ⁵ and their lot happened to be on the borders of Anassa, the plain of Labek, a part of the land of Galaad, on the bank of the Jordan, ⁶ because the daughters of the children of Manasses had a possession in the midst of their brethren; and Galaad belonged to the rest of the children of Manasses. ⁷ Now these were the borders of the children of Manasses; Delanath, which is in front of the children of Anath, and extendeth to the borders, to Jamin, and Jassib, to the fountain Thaphoth, is to belong to Manasses; ⁸ but Thapheth, which is within the bounds of the Manassites, is to belong to the children of Ephraim. ⁹ Thence the boundary is to go down to the vale of Karana, on the south side, over against the vale Jariel; but Tereminthus, which is within the bounds of a city of Manasses, ¹⁰ is to belong to Ephraim; then the border of Manasses runneth northward, to the brook, and his boundary is to be the sea. The south side belonged to Ephraim, and the north side to Manasses, and the sea was to be their boundary. And on the north they were to join upon Aser, and on the east upon Issachar. 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.

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.

¹¹ Esedekgola, the sea and Magalda, were to be their boundaries, and their boundary was to join upon Baitharaba, at the valley which is in front of Jekman: ¹² then it turned up from Sedduck, from the east of Baithsamys, along the borders of Chaselothaith, and was to turn off to Dabiroth, and go up to Phaggai; ¹³ thence to come round on the other side, eastward, to Gebere, by the city Katesem, and pass on by Remmonaa Matharoza; ¹⁴ then the boundary was to go round, northward, by Amoth, and the termination of it was to be at Gaphael. ¹⁵ Including Katanath, and Nabaal, and Symoon, and Jericho, and Baithman, ¹⁶ this was the inheritance of the children of Zabulon, according to their communities, their cities and their villages. ¹⁷ And the fourth lot came out for Issachar, ¹⁸ and their borders were Jazel, and Chassaloth, and Sunam, ¹⁹ and Agin, and Siona, ²⁰ and Reeroth, and Anachereth, and Dabiron, and Kison, and Rebes, ²¹ and Remmas, and Jeon, and Tomman, and Aimerek, and Bersaphes, ²² and their borders were to join on Gaithbor, and on Salim westward, and on Baithsamys, and the termination of their boundary was to be the Jordan. ²³ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar, according to their communities, their cities and their villages. 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; ³¹ this was the inheritance of the children of Aser, according to their communities, including their cities and their villages. 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. ³⁹ This was the inheritance of the children of Nephthaleim. ⁴⁰ And the seventh lot came out for Dan; ⁴¹ and their borders were Sarath, and Asa, and the cities Sammaus, ⁴² and Salamin, and Ammon, and Silatha, ⁴³ and Elon, and Thamnatha, and Akkaron, ⁴⁴ and Alkatha, and Begethon, and Gebeelan, ⁴⁵ and Azor, and Banaibakat, and Gethrimmon, ⁴⁶ and on the west of Jerakon, the border near Joppa. 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. ⁴⁸ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Danites, according to their communities, including their cities and their villages. [But the children of Dan did not root out the Amorites who distressed them on the mountains, and the Amorites did not suffer them to come down into the valley. Nay they took from them the border of their portion.

³³ nor shall they dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin against me. For if thou serve their gods, they will be to thee a stumbling block.

⁴ For she will cause thy son to apostatise from me, and to serve other gods, and the Lord will be provoked to wrath against you, and speedily destroy thee.

¹⁶ And thou shalt consume all the spoils of the nations, which the Lord thy God giveth thee: Thine eye shall not have pity on them. And thou shalt not perform religious service to their gods; for this is a snare for thee.

¹² For if you turn away, and join yourselves with those nations which are left with you, and intermarry with them, and be mixed with them, and they with you; ¹³ be assured that the Lord will no more drive out those nations from before you; but they shall be to you snares and stumbling blocks, and nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes, until you be destroyed from this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.

²¹ Neither did the children of Benjamin dispossess the Jebusites, who dwelt at Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have continued to dwell at Jerusalem, with the children of Benjamin, to this day. ²² With regard to the children of Joseph, they went up to Baithel, and the Lord was with them; ²³ and they encamped near, and kept a watch upon Baithel. [Now the name of that city formerly was Louza.] ²⁴ And they who kept watch, looked, and behold a man came out of the city; and they took him, and said to him, Shew us the way into the city, and we will shew thee mercy. ²⁵ So he shewed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they suffered the man and his family to depart. ²⁶ And the man went to the land of Chettin, and built there a city, and called its name Louza, and this continueth to be its name to this day. 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. ³³ Neither did Nephthaleim drive out the inhabitants of Baithsamys, nor the inhabitants of Baithanach. So Nephthaleim dwelt in the midst of the Chananites who inhabited the land. And the inhabitants of Baithsamys and Baitheneth became tributary to them. ³⁴ As for the children of Dan, the Amorites harassed them on the mountains, for they did not suffer them to go down into the vale. 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. ³⁶ Now the border of the Amorites reached from the steep of Akrabin, from that rock and upwards.

³ therefore I have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be curbs for you; and their gods shall be to you a stumbling block.

²⁴ And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a pricking briar nor a grieving thorn, by reason of those around them, who despised them: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

²⁸ that the land may not become a mortal enemy to you when you pollute it; as it hath been to those nations which were before you.

²³ You must not walk in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you. Because they did all these things, therefore I held them in abhorrence,

⁶³ therefore it shall come to pass, that as the Lord delighted in you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you, in rooting you out; and you shall be removed speedily from the land to which thou art going to take possession of it.

²⁸ and the Lord rooted them out from their land, with wrath, and anger, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land, as at this day.

¹⁵ Now as all the good things, which the Lord hath spoken respecting you, have come to you, so the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil things, until he destroy you from this good land, which the Lord hath given you, ¹⁶ when you transgress the covenant of the Lord our God, which he hath commanded us, and go and serve other gods and worship them.

¹⁷ Therefore he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and had no compassion on Sedekias, nor pity for their virgins. And they carried away their elders. He delivered all into their hands; ¹⁸ all the utensils of the house of God, great and small, and all the treasures of the house of the Lord and all the treasures of the king and of the nobles. All these he carried to Babylon. ¹⁹ And he burned the house of the Lord, and demolished the wall of Jerusalem, and burned with fire the palaces thereof, and utterly destroyed every thing that was beautiful, ²⁰ and removed to Babylon the few who were left; and they continued to be servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the Medes;

²⁴ Son of man, they who dwell in the waste places in the land of Israel, say, Abraham was a single person, yet he had this land, now we are many; to us this land is given for a possession. ²⁵ [Omitted] ²⁶ [Omitted] ²⁷ Therefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord, Lord, As I live, they who dwell in the wastes shall fall by the sword; and they in the open country shall be delivered to the wild beasts of the field for food: and those in walled towns and those in caves I will destroy with pestilence ²⁸ and I will make the land a desert. And the pride of its strength shall be destroyed, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate by reason of none passing through it. ²⁹ And they shall know that I am the Lord. For I will make their land a desert and it shall be wasted, because of all their abominations which they have committed.

²³ alas therefore for the women with child and for them who give suck in those days; for there will be great distress in this land and wrath on this people. ²⁴ They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captives to all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by nations until the times of nations shall be fulfilled.
