4	3	12	"And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;"
4	3	13	"Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the LORD."
4	3	14	"And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,"

4	3	24	And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael.
4	3	25	"And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,"
4	3	26	"And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof."
4	3	27	"And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of the Kohathites."

4	3	32	"And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be] chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary."
4	3	33	"Of Merari [was] the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these [are] the families of Merari."
4	3	34	"And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [were] six thousand and two hundred."
4	3	35	And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
4	3	36	"And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,"
4	3	37	"And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords."
4	3	38	"But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, [shall be] Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
4	3	39	"All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand."
4	3	40	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names."
4	3	41	And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
4	3	42	"And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel."
4	3	43	"And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen."
4	3	44	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	3	45	"Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD."
4	3	46	"And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;"
4	3	47	"Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs:)"
4	3	48	"And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons."
4	3	49	And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
4	3	50	"Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:"

4	4	4	"This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:"
4	4	5	"And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:"
4	4	6	"And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof."
4	4	7	"And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:"
4	4	8	"And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof."
4	4	9	"And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:"
4	4	10	"And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar."
4	4	11	"And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:"
4	4	12	"And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put [them] in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [them] on a bar:"
4	4	13	"And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:"
4	4	14	"And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, [even] the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it."
4	4	15	"And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it]: but they shall not touch [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	4	16	"And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein [is], in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof."
4	4	17	"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
4	4	18	Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
4	4	19	"But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:"
4	4	20	"But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die."
4	4	21	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	4	22	"Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;"
4	4	23	"From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	4	24	"This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:"
4	4	25	"And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,"
4	4	26	"And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve."
4	4	27	"At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens."
4	4	28	This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be] under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4	4	29	"As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;"
4	4	30	"From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	4	31	"And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,"
4	4	32	"And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden."
4	4	33	"This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
4	4	34	"And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,"
4	4	35	"From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:"
4	4	36	And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
4	4	37	"These [were] they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
4	4	38	"And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,"
4	4	39	"From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,"

4	4	47	"From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,"
4	4	48	"Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore."
4	4	49	"According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses."
4	5	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	5	2	"Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:"
4	5	3	"Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell."
4	5	4	"And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel."
4	5	5	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	5	6	"Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;"
4	5	7	"Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth [part] thereof, and give [it] unto [him] against whom he hath trespassed."
4	5	8	"But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him."
4	5	9	"And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his."
4	5	10	"And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his."
4	5	11	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	5	12	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,"
4	5	13	"And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and [there be] no witness against her, neither she be taken [with the manner];"
4	5	14	"And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:"
4	5	15	"Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance."
4	5	16	"And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:"
4	5	17	"And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put [it] into the water:"
4	5	18	"And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:"
4	5	19	"And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:"
4	5	20	"But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:"
4	5	21	"Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;"
4	5	22	"And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen."
4	5	23	"And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:"
4	5	24	"And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter."
4	5	25	"Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:"
4	5	26	"And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, [even] the memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water."
4	5	27	"And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, [that], if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people."
4	5	28	"And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed."
4	5	29	"This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;"
4	5	30	"Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law."
4	5	31	"Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity."
4	6	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	6	2	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:"
4	6	3	"He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried."
4	6	4	"All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk."
4	6	5	"All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow."
4	6	6	All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
4	6	7	"He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God [is] upon his head."
4	6	8	All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the LORD.
4	6	9	"And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it."
4	6	10	"And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:"
4	6	11	"And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day."
4	6	12	"And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled."
4	6	13	"And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:"
4	6	14	"And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,"
4	6	15	"And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings."
4	6	16	"And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:"
4	6	17	"And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering."
4	6	18	"And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings."
4	6	19	"And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:"
4	6	20	"And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine."
4	6	21	"This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside [that] that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation."
4	6	22	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	6	23	"Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,"
4	6	24	"The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:"
4	6	25	"The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:"
4	6	26	"The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
4	6	27	And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
4	7	1	"And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;"
4	7	2	"That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered:"
4	7	3	"And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle."
4	7	4	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	7	5	"Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service."
4	7	6	"And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites."
4	7	7	"Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:"
4	7	8	"And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
4	7	9	But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear upon their shoulders.
4	7	10	"And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar."
4	7	11	"And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar."
4	7	12	"And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:"
4	7	13	"And his offering [was] one silver charger, the weight thereof [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them [were] full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:"

4	8	9	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
4	8	10	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
4	8	11	"And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD."

4	8	23	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	8	24	This [is it] that [belongeth] unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
4	8	25	"And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service [thereof], and shall serve no more:"
4	8	26	"But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge."
4	9	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
4	9	2	Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
4	9	3	"In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it."
4	9	4	"And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover."
4	9	5	"And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel."
4	9	6	"And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:"
4	9	7	"And those men said unto him, We [are] defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?"
4	9	8	"And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you."
4	9	9	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	9	10	"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or [be] in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD."
4	9	11	"The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs]."
4	9	12	"They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it."
4	9	13	"But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin."
4	9	14	"And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land."
4	9	15	"And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning."
4	9	16	"So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by day], and the appearance of fire by night."
4	9	17	"And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents."
4	9	18	"At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents."
4	9	19	"And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not."
4	9	20	"And [so] it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed."
4	9	21	"And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed."
4	9	22	"Or [whether it were] two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed."
4	9	23	"At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
4	10	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	10	2	"Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps."
4	10	3	"And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	10	4	"And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the princes, [which are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee."
4	10	5	"When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward."
4	10	6	"When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys."
4	10	7	"But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm."
4	10	8	"And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations."
4	10	9	"And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies."
4	10	10	"Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your God."
4	10	11	"And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony."
4	10	12	And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
4	10	13	And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
4	10	14	In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
4	10	15	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
4	10	16	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun [was] Eliab the son of Helon.
4	10	17	"And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle."
4	10	18	And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of Shedeur.
4	10	19	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
4	10	20	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad [was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
4	10	21	"And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came."
4	10	22	And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the son of Ammihud.
4	10	23	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
4	10	24	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
4	10	25	"And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai."
4	10	26	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
4	10	27	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali [was] Ahira the son of Enan.
4	10	28	"Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward."
4	10	29	"And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel."
4	10	30	"And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred."
4	10	31	"And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes."
4	10	32	"And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee."
4	10	33	"And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them."
4	10	34	"And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when they went out of the camp."
4	10	35	"And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee."
4	10	36	"And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."
4	11	1	"And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts of the camp."
4	11	2	"And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched."
4	11	3	And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4	11	4	"And the mixt multitude that [was] among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?"
4	11	5	"We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:"
4	11	6	"But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes."
4	11	7	"And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium."
4	11	8	"[And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and ground [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil."
4	11	9	"And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it."
4	11	10	"Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased."
4	11	11	"And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?"
4	11	12	"Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?"
4	11	13	"Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat."
4	11	14	"I am not able to bear all this people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me."
4	11	15	"And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness."
4	11	16	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee."
4	11	17	"And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not thyself alone."
4	11	18	"And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat."
4	11	19	"Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;"
4	11	20	"[But] even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?"
4	11	21	"And Moses said, The people, among whom I [am], [are] six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month."
4	11	22	"Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?"
4	11	23	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."
4	11	24	"And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle."
4	11	25	"And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease."
4	11	26	"But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they [were] of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp."
4	11	27	"And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp."
4	11	28	"And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them."
4	11	29	"And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
4	11	30	"And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel."
4	11	31	"And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the earth."
4	11	32	"And the people stood up all that day, and all [that] night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves round about the camp."
4	11	33	"And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague."
4	11	34	And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
4	11	35	[And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
4	12	1	And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
4	12	2	"And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it]."
4	12	3	"(Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)"
4	12	4	"And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out."
4	12	5	"And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth."
4	12	6	"And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream."
4	12	7	"My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house."
4	12	8	"With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"
4	12	9	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
4	12	10	"And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous."
4	12	11	"And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned."
4	12	12	"Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb."
4	12	13	"And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee."
4	12	14	"And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again]."
4	12	15	And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].
4	12	16	"And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran."

4	13	2	"Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them."

4	13	4	"And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur."
4	13	5	"Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori."
4	13	6	"Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh."
4	13	7	"Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph."
4	13	8	"Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun."
4	13	9	"Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu."

4	13	14	"Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi."
4	13	15	"Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi."
4	13	16	These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
4	13	17	"And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the mountain:"
4	13	18	"And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;"
4	13	19	"And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be] good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;"
4	13	20	"And what the land [is], whether it [be] fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes."
4	13	21	"So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath."
4	13	22	"And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)"
4	13	23	"And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs."
4	13	24	"The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence."
4	13	25	And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
4	13	26	"And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land."
4	13	27	"And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it."
4	13	28	"Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there."
4	13	29	"The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan."
4	13	30	"And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."
4	13	31	"But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we."
4	13	32	"And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature."
4	13	33	"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
4	14	1	"And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night."
4	14	2	"And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!"
4	14	3	"And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"
4	14	4	"And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
4	14	5	Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
4	14	6	"And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:"
4	14	7	"And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an exceeding good land."
4	14	8	"If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey."
4	14	9	"Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not."
4	14	10	But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
4	14	11	"And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?"
4	14	12	"I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they."
4	14	13	"And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)"
4	14	14	"And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night."
4	14	15	"Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,"
4	14	16	"Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness."
4	14	17	"And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,"
4	14	18	"The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation]."
4	14	19	"Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
4	14	20	"And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:"
4	14	21	"But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."
4	14	22	"Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;"
4	14	23	"Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:"
4	14	24	"But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it."
4	14	25	"(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea."
4	14	26	"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
4	14	27	"How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me."
4	14	28	"Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:"
4	14	29	"Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,"
4	14	30	"Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning] which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."
4	14	31	"But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised."
4	14	32	"But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness."
4	14	33	"And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness."
4	14	34	"After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise."

4	14	35	"I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
4	14	36	"And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,"
4	14	37	"Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD."
4	14	38	"But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still]."
4	14	39	And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
4	14	40	"And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned."
4	14	41	"And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper."
4	14	42	"Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies."
4	14	43	"For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you."
4	14	44	"But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp."
4	14	45	"Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto Hormah."
4	15	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	15	2	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,"
4	15	3	"And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:"
4	15	4	Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of oil.
4	15	5	"And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb."
4	15	6	"Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an hin of oil."
4	15	7	"And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third [part] of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD."
4	15	8	"And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering, or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:"
4	15	9	Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
4	15	10	"And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
4	15	11	"Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid."
4	15	12	"According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number."
4	15	13	"All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
4	15	14	"And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be] among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do."
4	15	15	"One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD."
4	15	16	"One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you."
4	15	17	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	15	18	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,"
4	15	19	"Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD."
4	15	20	"Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough [for] an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it."
4	15	21	Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
4	15	22	"And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,"
4	15	23	"[Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward among your generations;"
4	15	24	"Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering."
4	15	25	"And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:"
4	15	26	"And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people [were] in ignorance."
4	15	27	"And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering."
4	15	28	"And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him."
4	15	29	"Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them."
4	15	30	"But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
4	15	31	"Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him."
4	15	32	"And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day."
4	15	33	"And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation."
4	15	34	"And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him."
4	15	35	"And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp."
4	15	36	"And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses."
4	15	37	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	15	38	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:"
4	15	39	"And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:"
4	15	40	"That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God."
4	15	41	"I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God."
4	16	1	"Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took [men]:"
4	16	2	"And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:"
4	16	3	"And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all the congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?"
4	16	4	"And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:"
4	16	5	"And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and will cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him."
4	16	6	"This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;"
4	16	7	"And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose, he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi."
4	16	8	"And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:"
4	16	9	"[Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?"
4	16	10	"And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?"
4	16	11	"For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are] gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur against him?"
4	16	12	"And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:"
4	16	13	"[Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?"
4	16	14	"Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up."
4	16	15	"And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
4	16	16	"And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:"
4	16	17	"And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer."
4	16	18	"And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron."
4	16	19	And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
4	16	20	"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
4	16	21	"Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
4	16	22	"And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?"
4	16	23	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	16	24	"Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
4	16	25	And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
4	16	26	"And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins."
4	16	27	"So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children."
4	16	28	"And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own mind."
4	16	29	"If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent me."
4	16	30	"But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD."
4	16	31	"And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them:"
4	16	32	"And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all [their] goods."
4	16	33	"They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation."
4	16	34	"And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also]."
4	16	35	"And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense."
4	16	36	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	16	37	"Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed."
4	16	38	"The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel."
4	16	39	"And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a covering of the altar:"
4	16	40	"[To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses."
4	16	41	"But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD."
4	16	42	"And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared."
4	16	43	And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
4	16	44	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	16	45	"Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces."
4	16	46	"And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun."
4	16	47	"And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people."
4	16	48	And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
4	16	49	"Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah."
4	16	50	And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
4	17	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	17	2	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod."
4	17	3	And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.
4	17	4	"And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you."
4	17	5	"And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you."
4	17	6	"And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was] among their rods."
4	17	7	And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
4	17	8	"And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."
4	17	9	"And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod."
4	17	10	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not."
4	17	11	"And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did he."
4	17	12	"And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish."
4	17	13	Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
4	18	1	"And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood."
4	18	2	"And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before the tabernacle of witness."
4	18	3	"And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die."
4	18	4	"And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you."
4	18	5	"And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel."
4	18	6	"And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	18	7	"Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office [unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
4	18	8	"And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever."
4	18	9	"This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved] from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons."
4	18	10	In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
4	18	11	"And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it."
4	18	12	"All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee."
4	18	13	"[And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat [of] it."
4	18	14	Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
4	18	15	"Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem."
4	18	16	"And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs."
4	18	17	"But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat [for] an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD."
4	18	18	"And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine."
4	18	19	"All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee."
4	18	20	"And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel."
4	18	21	"And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	18	22	"Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die."
4	18	23	"But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance."
4	18	24	"But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance."
4	18	25	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	18	26	"Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe."
4	18	27	"And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress."
4	18	28	"Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest."
4	18	29	"Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out of it."
4	18	30	"Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress."
4	18	31	"And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	18	32	"And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die."
4	19	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
4	19	2	"This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never came yoke:"
4	19	3	"And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:"
4	19	4	"And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:"
4	19	5	"And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:"
4	19	6	"And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer."
4	19	7	"Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even."
4	19	8	"And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even."
4	19	9	"And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it [is] a purification for sin."
4	19	10	"And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever."
4	19	11	He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
4	19	12	"He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean."
4	19	13	"Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him."
4	19	14	"This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven days."
4	19	15	"And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, [is] unclean."
4	19	16	"And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days."
4	19	17	"And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:"
4	19	18	"And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:"
4	19	19	"And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even."
4	19	20	"But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean."
4	19	21	"And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even."
4	19	22	And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.
4	20	1	"Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
4	20	2	And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
4	20	3	"And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!"
4	20	4	"And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?"
4	20	5	"And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink."
4	20	6	"And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them."
4	20	7	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	20	8	"Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink."
4	20	9	"And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him."
4	20	10	"And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?"
4	20	11	"And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also]."
4	20	12	"And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."
4	20	13	"This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them."		Some Answered Questions, Chapter 44, within pp. 167-171 link
4	20	14	"And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:"
4	20	15	"How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:"
4	20	16	"And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:"
4	20	17	"Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders."
4	20	18	"And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword."
4	20	19	"And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my feet."
4	20	20	"And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand."
4	20	21	Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

4	20	25	"Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:"
4	20	26	"And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die there."
4	20	27	And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
4	20	28	"And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount."

4	21	3	"And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah."
4	21	4	"And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way."
4	21	5	"And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread."
4	21	6	"And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died."
4	21	7	"Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people."
4	21	8	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."

4	21	11	"And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising."
4	21	12	"From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared."
4	21	13	"From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites."
4	21	14	"Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,"
4	21	15	"And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab."
4	21	16	"And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water."

4	21	18	"The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:"
4	21	19	And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
4	21	20	"And from Bamoth [in] the valley, that [is] in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon."
4	21	21	"And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,"
4	21	22	"Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high] way, until we be past thy borders."
4	21	23	"And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel."
4	21	24	"And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong."
4	21	25	"And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof."
4	21	26	"For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon."
4	21	27	"Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:"
4	21	28	"For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high places of Arnon."
4	21	29	"Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites."
4	21	30	"We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto Medeba."
4	21	31	Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
4	21	32	"And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there."
4	21	33	"And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei."
4	21	34	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon."
4	21	35	"So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land."
4	22	1	"And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho."
4	22	2	And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
4	22	3	"And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they [were] many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel."
4	22	4	"And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time."
4	22	5	"He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:"
4	22	6	"Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they [are] too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, [that] we may smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed."
4	22	7	"And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak."
4	22	8	"And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam."
4	22	9	"And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are] these with thee?"
4	22	10	"And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying],"
4	22	11	"Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out."
4	22	12	"And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed."
4	22	13	"And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you."
4	22	14	"And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us."
4	22	15	"And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they."
4	22	16	"And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:"
4	22	17	"For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people."
4	22	18	"And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more."
4	22	19	"Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more."
4	22	20	"And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do."
4	22	21	"And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab."
4	22	22	"And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him."
4	22	23	"And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way."
4	22	24	"But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side."
4	22	25	"And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again."
4	22	26	"And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left."
4	22	27	"And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff."
4	22	28	"And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"
4	22	29	"And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee."
4	22	30	"And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay."
4	22	31	"Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face."
4	22	32	"And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:"
4	22	33	"And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive."
4	22	34	"And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again."
4	22	35	"And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak."
4	22	36	"And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is] in the utmost coast."
4	22	37	"And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?"
4	22	38	"And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak."
4	22	39	"And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth."
4	22	40	"And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that [were] with him."
4	22	41	"And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost [part] of the people."
4	23	1	"And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams."
4	23	2	And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
4	23	3	"And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place."
4	23	4	"And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram."
4	23	5	"And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak."
4	23	6	"And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab."
4	23	7	"And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying], Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel."
4	23	8	"How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?"
4	23	9	"For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations."
4	23	10	"Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!"
4	23	11	"And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them] altogether."
4	23	12	"And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?"
4	23	13	"And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence."
4	23	14	"And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar."
4	23	15	"And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet [the LORD] yonder."
4	23	16	"And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus."
4	23	17	"And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?"
4	23	18	"And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:"
4	23	19	"God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
4	23	20	"Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it."
4	23	21	"He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the shout of a king [is] among them."
4	23	22	God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
4	23	23	"Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!"
4	23	24	"Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat [of] the prey, and drink the blood of the slain."
4	23	25	"And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."
4	23	26	"But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?"
4	23	27	"And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence."
4	23	28	"And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon."
4	23	29	"And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."
4	23	30	"And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every] altar."
4	24	1	"And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness."
4	24	2	"And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding [in his tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him."
4	24	3	"And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:"
4	24	4	"He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:"
4	24	5	"How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O Israel!"
4	24	6	"As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and] as cedar trees beside the waters."
4	24	7	"He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted."
4	24	8	"God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows."
4	24	9	"He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he that curseth thee."
4	24	10	"And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three times."
4	24	11	"Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour."
4	24	12	"And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,"
4	24	13	"If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad of mine own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?"
4	24	14	"And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore, and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days."
4	24	15	"And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:"
4	24	16	"He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, [which] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:"
4	24	17	"I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth."
4	24	18	"And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly."
4	24	19	"Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city."
4	24	20	"And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall be] that he perish for ever."
4	24	21	"And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock."
4	24	22	"Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive."
4	24	23	"And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!"
4	24	24	"And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever."
4	24	25	"And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way."
4	25	1	"And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab."
4	25	2	"And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods."
4	25	3	And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
4	25	4	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel."
4	25	5	"And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor."
4	25	6	"And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
4	25	7	"And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;"
4	25	8	"And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel."
4	25	9	And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
4	25	10	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	25	11	"Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy."
4	25	12	"Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:"
4	25	13	"And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel."
4	25	14	"Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites."
4	25	15	"And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain [was] Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief house in Midian."
4	25	16	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	25	17	"Vex the Midianites, and smite them:"
4	25	18	"For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake."
4	26	1	"And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,"
4	26	2	"Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel."
4	26	3	"And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,"
4	26	4	"[Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt."
4	26	5	"Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, [of whom cometh] the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:"
4	26	6	"Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites."
4	26	7	These [are] the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
4	26	8	And the sons of Pallu; Eliab.
4	26	9	"And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This [is that] Dathan and Abiram, [which were] famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD:"
4	26	10	"And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign."
4	26	11	Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.
4	26	12	"The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:"
4	26	13	"Of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites."
4	26	14	"These [are] the families of the Simeonites, twenty and two thousand and two hundred."
4	26	15	"The children of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites:"
4	26	16	"Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites:"
4	26	17	"Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites."
4	26	18	"These [are] the families of the children of Gad according to those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred."

4	27	19	"And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight."
4	27	20	"And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient."
4	27	21	"And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation."
4	27	22	"And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:"
4	27	23	"And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses."
4	28	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	28	2	"Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season."
4	28	3	"And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt offering."
4	28	4	"The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;"
4	28	5	"And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil."
4	28	6	"[It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD."
4	28	7	And the drink offering thereof [shall be] the fourth [part] of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD [for] a drink offering.
4	28	8	"And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
4	28	9	"And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:"
4	28	10	"[This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering."
4	28	11	"And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;"

4	29	7	And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work [therein]:

4	29	39	"These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings."
4	29	40	And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
4	30	1	"And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded."
4	30	2	"If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth."
4	30	3	"If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;"
4	30	4	"And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand."
4	30	5	"But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her."
4	30	6	"And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;"
4	30	7	"And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand."
4	30	8	"But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her."
4	30	9	"But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her."
4	30	10	"And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;"
4	30	11	"And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand."
4	30	12	"But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her."
4	30	13	"Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void."
4	30	14	"But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them]."
4	30	15	But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
4	30	16	"These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house."
4	31	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	31	2	Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
4	31	3	"And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian."
4	31	4	"Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war."
4	31	5	"So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war."
4	31	6	"And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand."
4	31	7	"And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males."
4	31	8	"And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword."
4	31	9	"And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods."
4	31	10	"And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire."
4	31	11	"And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts."
4	31	12	"And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho."
4	31	13	"And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp."
4	31	14	"And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle."
4	31	15	"And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?"
4	31	16	"Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD."
4	31	17	"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him."
4	31	18	"But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
4	31	19	"And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day."
4	31	20	"And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood."
4	31	21	"And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;"
4	31	22	"Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,"
4	31	23	"Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water."
4	31	24	"And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp."
4	31	25	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	31	26	"Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:"
4	31	27	"And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:"
4	31	28	"And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:"
4	31	29	"Take [it] of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an heave offering of the LORD."
4	31	30	"And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD."
4	31	31	And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
4	31	32	"And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,"
4	31	33	"And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,"
4	31	34	"And threescore and one thousand asses,"
4	31	35	"And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him."
4	31	36	"And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:"
4	31	37	And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
4	31	38	And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and twelve.
4	31	39	And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one.
4	31	40	And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons.
4	31	41	"And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses."
4	31	42	"And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,"
4	31	43	"(Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,"
4	31	44	"And thirty and six thousand beeves,"
4	31	45	"And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,"
4	31	46	And sixteen thousand persons;)
4	31	47	"Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses."
4	31	48	"And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:"
4	31	49	"And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us."
4	31	50	"We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD."
4	31	51	"And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels."
4	31	52	"And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels."
4	31	53	"([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)"
4	31	54	"And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD."
4	32	1	"Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;"
4	32	2	"The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,"
4	32	3	"Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,"
4	32	4	"[Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:"
4	32	5	"Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan."
4	32	6	"And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?"
4	32	7	And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
4	32	8	"Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land."
4	32	9	"For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them."
4	32	10	"And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,"
4	32	11	"Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:"
4	32	12	"Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD."
4	32	13	"And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed."
4	32	14	"And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel."
4	32	15	"For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people."
4	32	16	"And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:"
4	32	17	"But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land."
4	32	18	"We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance."
4	32	19	"For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward."
4	32	20	"And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,"
4	32	21	"And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,"
4	32	22	"And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD."
4	32	23	"But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out."
4	32	24	"Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth."
4	32	25	"And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth."
4	32	26	"Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:"
4	32	27	"But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith."
4	32	28	"So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:"
4	32	29	"And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:"
4	32	30	"But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
4	32	31	"And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do."
4	32	32	"We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours."
4	32	33	"And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the cities of the country round about."
4	32	34	"And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,"
4	32	35	"And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,"
4	32	36	"And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep."
4	32	37	"And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,"
4	32	38	"And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded."
4	32	39	"And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it."
4	32	40	And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
4	32	41	"And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair."
4	32	42	"And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name."
4	33	1	"These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron."
4	33	2	And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings out.
4	33	3	"And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians."
4	33	4	"For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments."
4	33	5	"And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth."
4	33	6	"And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which [is] in the edge of the wilderness."
4	33	7	"And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol."
4	33	8	"And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah."
4	33	9	"And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim [were] twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there."
4	33	10	"And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea."
4	33	11	"And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin."
4	33	12	"And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah."
4	33	13	"And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush."
4	33	14	"And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink."
4	33	15	"And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai."
4	33	16	"And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah."
4	33	17	"And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth."
4	33	18	"And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah."
4	33	19	"And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez."
4	33	20	"And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah."
4	33	21	"And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah."
4	33	22	"And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah."
4	33	23	"And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher."
4	33	24	"And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah."
4	33	25	"And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth."
4	33	26	"And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath."
4	33	27	"And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah."
4	33	28	"And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah."
4	33	29	"And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah."
4	33	30	"And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth."
4	33	31	"And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan."
4	33	32	"And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad."
4	33	33	"And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah."
4	33	34	"And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah."
4	33	35	"And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber."
4	33	36	"And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh."
4	33	37	"And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom."
4	33	38	"And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the fifth month."
4	33	39	And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
4	33	40	"And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel."
4	33	41	"And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah."
4	33	42	"And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon."
4	33	43	"And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth."
4	33	44	"And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab."
4	33	45	"And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad."
4	33	46	"And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim."
4	33	47	"And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo."
4	33	48	"And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho."
4	33	49	"And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth [even] unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab."
4	33	50	"And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,"
4	33	51	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;"
4	33	52	"Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:"
4	33	53	"And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants] of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it."
4	33	54	"And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: [and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit."
4	33	55	"But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell."
4	33	56	"Moreover it shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them."
4	34	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	34	2	"Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)"
4	34	3	"Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:"
4	34	4	"And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:"
4	34	5	"And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea."
4	34	6	"And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border."
4	34	7	And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
4	34	8	From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
4	34	9	"And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border."
4	34	10	And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
4	34	11	"And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:"
4	34	12	"And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about."
4	34	13	"And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:"
4	34	14	"For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:"
4	34	15	"The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising."
4	34	16	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	34	17	"These [are] the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun."
4	34	18	"And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance."
4	34	19	"And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh."
4	34	20	"And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud."
4	34	21	"Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon."
4	34	22	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli."
4	34	23	"The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod."
4	34	24	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan."
4	34	25	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach."
4	34	26	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan."
4	34	27	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi."
4	34	28	"And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud."
4	34	29	These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
4	35	1	"And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,"
4	35	2	"Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give [also] unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them."
4	35	3	"And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts."
4	35	4	"And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, [shall reach] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about."
4	35	5	"And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city [shall be] in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities."
4	35	6	"And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites [there shall be] six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities."
4	35	7	[So] all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites [shall be] forty and eight cities: them [shall ye give] with their suburbs.
4	35	8	And the cities which ye shall give [shall be] of the possession of the children of Israel: from [them that have] many ye shall give many; but from [them that have] few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
4	35	9	"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
4	35	10	"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;"
4	35	11	"Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares."
4	35	12	"And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment."
4	35	13	And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
4	35	14	"Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, [which] shall be cities of refuge."
4	35	15	"These six cities shall be a refuge, [both] for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither."
4	35	16	"And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
4	35	17	"And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
4	35	18	"Or [if] he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he [is] a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
4	35	19	"The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him."
4	35	20	"But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;"
4	35	21	"Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote [him] shall surely be put to death; [for] he [is] a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him."
4	35	22	"But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,"
4	35	23	"Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing [him] not, and cast [it] upon him, that he die, and [was] not his enemy, neither sought his harm:"
4	35	24	Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
4	35	25	"And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil."
4	35	26	"But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;"
4	35	27	"And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:"
4	35	28	Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
4	35	29	So these [things] shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
4	35	30	"Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person [to cause him] to die."
4	35	31	"Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which [is] guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death."
4	35	32	"And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest."
4	35	33	"So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye [are]: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it."
4	35	34	"Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel."
4	36	1	"And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:"
4	36	2	"And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters."
4	36	3	"And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other] tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance."
4	36	4	"And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."
4	36	5	"And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well."
4	36	6	"This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry."
4	36	7	So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
4	36	8	"And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers."
4	36	9	Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
4	36	10	"Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:"
4	36	11	"For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:"
4	36	12	"[And] they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father."
4	36	13	"These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho."

5	1	1	"These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red [sea], between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab."
5	1	2	([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
5	1	3	"And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;"
5	1	4	"After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:"
5	1	5	"On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,"
5	1	6	"The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:"
5	1	7	"Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates."
5	1	8	"Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them."
5	1	9	"And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:"
5	1	10	"The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude."
5	1	11	"(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)"
5	1	12	"How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?"
5	1	13	"Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you."
5	1	14	"And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken [is] good [for us] to do."
5	1	15	"So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes."
5	1	16	"And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between [every] man and his brother, and the stranger [that is] with him."
5	1	17	"Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring [it] unto me, and I will hear it."
5	1	18	And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
5	1	19	"And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea."
5	1	20	"And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us."
5	1	21	"Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up [and] possess [it], as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged."
5	1	22	"And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come."
5	1	23	"And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:"
5	1	24	"And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out."
5	1	25	"And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is] a good land which the LORD our God doth give us."
5	1	26	"Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:"
5	1	27	"And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us."
5	1	28	"Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there."
5	1	29	"Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them."
5	1	30	"The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;"
5	1	31	"And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place."
5	1	32	"Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,"
5	1	33	"Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day."
5	1	34	"And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,"
5	1	35	"Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,"
5	1	36	"Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD."
5	1	37	"Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither."
5	1	38	"[But] Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it."
5	1	39	"Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it."
5	1	40	"But [as for] you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea."
5	1	41	"Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill."
5	1	42	"And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies."
5	1	43	"So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill."
5	1	44	"And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, [even] unto Hormah."
5	1	45	"And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you."
5	1	46	"So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there]."
5	2	1	"Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days."
5	2	2	"And the LORD spake unto me, saying,"
5	2	3	Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
5	2	4	"And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:"
5	2	5	"Meddle not with them; 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 [for] a possession."
5	2	6	"Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink."
5	2	7	For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
5	2	8	"And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab."
5	2	9	"And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot [for] a possession."
5	2	10	"The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;"
5	2	11	"Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims."
5	2	12	"The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them."
5	2	13	"Now rise up, [said I], and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered."
5	2	14	"And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them."
5	2	15	"For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed."
5	2	16	"So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,"
5	2	17	"That the LORD spake unto me, saying,"
5	2	18	"Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:"
5	2	19	"And [when] thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot [for] a possession."
5	2	20	(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
5	2	21	"A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:"
5	2	22	"As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:"
5	2	23	"And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, [even] unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)"
5	2	24	"Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in battle."
5	2	25	"This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee."
5	2	26	"And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,"
5	2	27	"Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left."
5	2	28	"Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;"
5	2	29	"(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us."
5	2	30	"But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day."
5	2	31	"And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land."
5	2	32	"Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz."
5	2	33	"And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people."
5	2	34	"And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:"
5	2	35	"Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took."
5	2	36	"From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:"
5	2	37	"Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, [nor] unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us."
5	3	1	"Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei."
5	3	2	"And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon."
5	3	3	"So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining."
5	3	4	"And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
5	3	5	"All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many."
5	3	6	"And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city."
5	3	7	"But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves."
5	3	8	"And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;"
5	3	9	([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
5	3	10	"All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
5	3	11	"For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man."
5	3	12	"And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites."
5	3	13	"And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants."
5	3	14	"Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day."
5	3	15	And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
5	3	16	"And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;"
5	3	17	"The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast [thereof], from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward."
5	3	18	"And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war."
5	3	19	"But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ([for] I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;"
5	3	20	"Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you."
5	3	21	"And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest."
5	3	22	Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
5	3	23	"And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,"
5	3	24	"O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?"
5	3	25	"I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that [is] beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon."
5	3	26	"But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter."	LCB: "But the Lord was wroth with Me for your sakes, and would not hear Me: and the Lord said unto Me, Let it suffice Thee; speak no more unto Me of this matter."

5	3	27	"Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold [it] with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
5	3	28	"But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see."
5	3	29	So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
5	4	1	"Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you."
5	4	2	"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
5	4	3	"Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you."
5	4	4	But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive every one of you this day.
5	4	5	"Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it."
5	4	6	"Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people."
5	4	7	"For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so] nigh unto them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?"
5	4	8	"And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?"
5	4	9	"Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;"
5	4	10	"[Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their children."
5	4	11	"And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness."
5	4	12	"And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice."
5	4	13	"And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone."
5	4	14	"And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it."
5	4	15	Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
5	4	16	"Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,"
5	4	17	"The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,"
5	4	18	"The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:"
5	4	19	"And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven."
5	4	20	"But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day."
5	4	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 in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance:"
5	4	22	"But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land."
5	4	23	"Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee."
5	4	24	"For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God."
5	4	25	"When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:"
5	4	26	"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed."
5	4	27	"And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you."
5	4	28	"And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell."
5	4	29	"But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."
5	4	30	"When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;"
5	4	31	"(For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them."
5	4	32	"For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?"
5	4	33	"Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?"
5	4	34	"Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?"
5	4	35	"Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him."
5	4	36	"Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire."
5	4	37	"And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;"
5	4	38	"To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day."
5	4	39	"Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else."
5	4	40	"Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, 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, for ever."
5	4	41	Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
5	4	42	"That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:"
5	4	43	"[Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites."
5	4	44	And this [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
5	4	45	"These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,"
5	4	46	"On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:"
5	4	47	"And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which [were] on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;"
5	4	48	"From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,"
5	4	49	"And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah."
5	5	1	"And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them."
5	5	2	The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
5	5	3	"The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day."
5	5	4	"The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,"
5	5	5	"(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,"
5	5	6	"I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."
5	5	7	Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
5	5	8	"Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:"
5	5	9	"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me,"	LCB: "Do not worship any picture or image.”	Some Answered Questions, Chapter 43, within pp. 164-167 link
5	5	10	And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
5	5	11	Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
5	5	12	"Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee."
5	5	13	"Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:"
5	5	14	"But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou."
5	5	15	"And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day."
5	5	16	"Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
5	5	17	Thou shalt not kill.
5	5	18	Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
5	5	19	Neither shalt thou steal.
5	5	20	Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
5	5	21	"Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbour's."
5	5	22	"These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me."
5	5	23	"And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;"
5	5	24	"And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth."
5	5	25	"Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die."
5	5	26	"For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?"
5	5	27	"Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it]."
5	5	28	"And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken."
5	5	29	"O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!"
5	5	30	"Go say to them, Get you into your tents again."
5	5	31	"But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I give them to possess it."
5	5	32	Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
5	5	33	"Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you, and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess."
5	6	1	"Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:"
5	6	2	"That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged."
5	6	3	"Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey."
5	6	4	"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:"
5	6	5	"And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."
5	6	6	"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:"
5	6	7	"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
5	6	8	"And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."
5	6	9	"And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates."
5	6	10	"And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,"
5	6	11	"And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;"
5	6	12	"[Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."
5	6	13	"Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name."
5	6	14	"Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] round about you;"
5	6	15	"(For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth."
5	6	16	"Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah."
5	6	17	"Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee."
5	6	18	"And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,"
5	6	19	"To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken."
5	6	20	"[And] when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?"
5	6	21	"Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:"
5	6	22	"And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:"
5	6	23	"And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers."
5	6	24	"And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] at this day."
5	6	25	"And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us."
5	7	1	"When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;"
5	7	2	"And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:"
5	7	3	"Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son."
5	7	4	"For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly."
5	7	5	"But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire."
5	7	6	"For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth."
5	7	7	"The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:"
5	7	8	"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."
5	7	9	"Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;"
5	7	10	"And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face."
5	7	11	"Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them."
5	7	12	"Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:"
5	7	13	"And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee."
5	7	14	"Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle."
5	7	15	"And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee."
5	7	16	And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
5	7	17	"If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations [are] more than I; how can I dispossess them?"
5	7	18	"Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;"
5	7	19	"The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid."
5	7	20	"Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed."
5	7	21	"Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible."
5	7	22	"And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee."
5	7	23	"But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed."
5	7	24	"And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them."
5	7	25	"The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God."
5	7	26	"Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing."
5	8	1	"All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers."
5	8	2	"And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no."
5	8	3	"And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live."
5	8	4	"Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years."
5	8	5	"Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee."
5	8	6	"Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him."
5	8	7	"For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;"
5	8	8	"A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;"
5	8	9	"A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass."
5	8	10	"When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee."
5	8	11	"Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:"
5	8	12	"Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];"
5	8	13	"And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;"
5	8	14	"Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;"
5	8	15	"Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;"
5	8	16	"Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;"
5	8	17	"And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth."
5	8	18	"But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day."
5	8	19	"And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish."
5	8	20	"As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God."
5	9	1	"Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,"
5	9	2	"A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Anak!"
5	9	3	"Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee."
5	9	4	"Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee."
5	9	5	"Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
5	9	6	"Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people."
5	9	7	"Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD."
5	9	8	"Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you."
5	9	9	"When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:"
5	9	10	"And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly."
5	9	11	"And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, [that] the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant."
5	9	12	"And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
5	9	13	"Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:"
5	9	14	"Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they."
5	9	15	"So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands."
5	9	16	"And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you."
5	9	17	"And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes."
5	9	18	"And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
5	9	19	"For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also."
5	9	20	And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
5	9	21	"And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount."
5	9	22	"And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath."
5	9	23	"Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice."
5	9	24	Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
5	9	25	"Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the first]; because the LORD had said he would destroy you."
5	9	26	"I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand."
5	9	27	"Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:"
5	9	28	"Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness."
5	9	29	"Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm."
5	10	1	"At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood."
5	10	2	"And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark."
5	10	3	"And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand."
5	10	4	"And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me."
5	10	5	"And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me."
5	10	6	"And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead."
5	10	7	"From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters."
5	10	8	"At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day."
5	10	9	"Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him."
5	10	10	"And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee."
5	10	11	"And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take [thy] journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them."
5	10	12	"And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,"
5	10	13	"To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?"
5	10	14	"Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is]."
5	10	15	"Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as [it is] this day."
5	10	16	"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked."
5	10	17	"For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:"
5	10	18	"He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment."
5	10	19	Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
5	10	20	"Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name."
5	10	21	"He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."
5	10	22	Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
5	11	1	"Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway."
5	11	2	"And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,"
5	11	3	"And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;"
5	11	4	"And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;"
5	11	5	"And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;"
5	11	6	"And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:"
5	11	7	But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
5	11	8	"Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;"
5	11	9	"And that ye may prolong [your] days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey."
5	11	10	"For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:"
5	11	11	"But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:"
5	11	12	"A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year."
5	11	13	"And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,"
5	11	14	"That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil."
5	11	15	"And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full."
5	11	16	"Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;"
5	11	17	"And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
5	11	18	"Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes."
5	11	19	"And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
5	11	20	"And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:"
5	11	21	"That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth."
5	11	22	"For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;"
5	11	23	"Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves."
5	11	24	"Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be."
5	11	25	"There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for] the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you."
5	11	26	"Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;"
5	11	27	"A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:"
5	11	28	"And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known."
5	11	29	"And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
5	11	30	"[Are] they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?"
5	11	31	"For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein."
5	11	32	And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
5	12	1	"These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth."
5	12	2	"Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:"
5	12	3	"And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place."
5	12	4	Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
5	12	5	"But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, [even] unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:"
5	12	6	"And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:"
5	12	7	"And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee."
5	12	8	"Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here this day, every man whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes."
5	12	9	"For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you."
5	12	10	"But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;"
5	12	11	"Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:"
5	12	12	"And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you."
5	12	13	Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
5	12	14	"But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee."
5	12	15	"Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart."
5	12	16	Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
5	12	17	"Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:"
5	12	18	"But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto."
5	12	19	Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
5	12	20	"When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after."
5	12	21	"If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after."
5	12	22	"Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them alike."
5	12	23	Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
5	12	24	Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
5	12	25	"Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD."
5	12	26	"Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:"
5	12	27	"And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh."
5	12	28	"Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest [that which is] good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God."
5	12	29	"When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;"
5	12	30	"Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise."
5	12	31	"Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods."
5	12	32	"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
5	13	1	"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,"
5	13	2	"And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;"
5	13	3	"Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul."
5	13	4	"Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him."
5	13	5	"And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee."
5	13	6	"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;"
5	13	7	"[Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth;"
5	13	8	"Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:"
5	13	9	"But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people."
5	13	10	"And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."
5	13	11	"And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you."
5	13	12	"If thou shalt hear [say] in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,"
5	13	13	"[Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;"
5	13	14	"Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;"
5	13	15	"Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword."
5	13	16	"And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again."
5	13	17	"And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;"
5	13	18	"When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD thy God."
5	14	1	"Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead."
5	14	2	"For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth."
5	14	3	Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
5	14	4	"These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,"
5	14	5	"The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois."
5	14	6	"And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat."
5	14	7	"Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they [are] unclean unto you."
5	14	8	"And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase."
5	14	9	These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
5	14	10	And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] unclean unto you.
5	14	11	[Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
5	14	12	"But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,"
5	14	13	"And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,"
5	14	14	"And every raven after his kind,"
5	14	15	"And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,"
5	14	16	"The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,"
5	14	17	"And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,"
5	14	18	"And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat."
5	14	19	And every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
5	14	20	[But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
5	14	21	"Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk."
5	14	22	"Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year."
5	14	23	"And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always."
5	14	24	"And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:"
5	14	25	"Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:"
5	14	26	"And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,"
5	14	27	And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
5	14	28	"At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy gates:"
5	14	29	"And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."
5	15	1	At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.
5	15	2	"And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it]; he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release."
5	15	3	Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that] which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
5	15	4	Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:
5	15	5	"Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day."
5	15	6	"For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee."
5	15	7	"If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:"
5	15	8	"But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth."
5	15	9	"Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee."
5	15	10	"Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto."
5	15	11	"For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land."
5	15	12	"[And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee."
5	15	13	"And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:"
5	15	14	"Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him."
5	15	15	"And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day."
5	15	16	"And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;"
5	15	17	"Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust [it] through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise."
5	15	18	"It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest."
5	15	19	"All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep."
5	15	20	"Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household."
5	15	21	"And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God."
5	15	22	"Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart."
5	15	23	Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
5	16	1	"Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night."
5	16	2	"Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there."
5	16	3	"Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life."
5	16	4	"And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning."
5	16	5	"Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:"
5	16	6	"But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt."
5	16	7	"And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents."
5	16	8	Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work [therein].
5	16	9	Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn.
5	16	10	"And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give [unto the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:"
5	16	11	"And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there."
5	16	12	And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
5	16	13	"Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:"
5	16	14	"And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates."
5	16	15	"Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice."
5	16	16	"Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:"
5	16	17	"Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee."
5	16	18	"Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment."
5	16	19	"Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous."
5	16	20	"That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
5	16	21	"Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee."
5	16	22	Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
5	17	1	"Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any] bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that [is] an abomination unto the LORD thy God."
5	17	2	"If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,"
5	17	3	"And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;"
5	17	4	"And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:"
5	17	5	"Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die."
5	17	6	"At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death."
5	17	7	"The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you."
5	17	8	"If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;"
5	17	9	"And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:"
5	17	10	"And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:"
5	17	11	"According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left."
5	17	12	"And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel."
5	17	13	"And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously."
5	17	14	"When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;"
5	17	15	"Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother."
5	17	16	"But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way."
5	17	17	"Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold."
5	17	18	"And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites:"
5	17	19	"And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:"
5	17	20	"That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel."
5	18	1	"The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance."
5	18	2	"Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said unto them."
5	18	3	"And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether [it be] ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw."
5	18	4	"The firstfruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him."
5	18	5	"For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever."
5	18	6	"And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;"
5	18	7	"Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], which stand there before the LORD."
5	18	8	"They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony."
5	18	9	"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations."
5	18	10	"There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,"
5	18	11	"Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer."
5	18	12	For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
5	18	13	Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
5	18	14	"For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do]."

5	19	1	"When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;"
5	19	2	"Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it."
5	19	3	"Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither."
5	19	4	"And this [is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;"
5	19	5	"As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:"
5	19	6	"Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past."
5	19	7	"Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee."
5	19	8	"And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;"
5	19	9	"If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:"
5	19	10	"That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee."
5	19	11	"But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:"
5	19	12	"Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die."
5	19	13	"Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee."
5	19	14	"Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it."
5	19	15	"One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established."
5	19	16	If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him [that which is] wrong;
5	19	17	"Then both the men, between whom the controversy [is], shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;"
5	19	18	"And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, [if] the witness [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely against his brother;"
5	19	19	"Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you."
5	19	20	"And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you."
5	19	21	"And thine eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go] for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
5	20	1	"When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
5	20	2	"And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,"
5	20	3	"And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;"
5	20	4	"For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
5	20	5	"And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man [is there] that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it."
5	20	6	"And what man [is he] that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not [yet] eaten of it? let him [also] go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it."
5	20	7	"And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her."
5	20	8	"And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart."
5	20	9	"And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people."
5	20	10	"When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it."
5	20	11	"And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that is] found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee."
5	20	12	"And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:"
5	20	13	"And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:"
5	20	14	"But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, [even] all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee."
5	20	15	"Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities [which are] very far off from thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations."
5	20	16	"But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee [for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:"
5	20	17	"But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely], the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:"
5	20	18	"That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God."
5	20	19	"When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life]) to employ [them] in the siege:"
5	20	20	"Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued."
5	21	1	"If [one] be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath slain him:"
5	21	2	"Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which [are] round about him that is slain:"
5	21	3	"And it shall be, [that] the city [which is] next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;"
5	21	4	"And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:"
5	21	5	"And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be [tried]:"
5	21	6	"And all the elders of that city, [that are] next unto the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:"
5	21	7	"And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it]."
5	21	8	"Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them."
5	21	9	"So shalt thou put away the [guilt of] innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of the LORD."
5	21	10	"When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,"
5	21	11	"And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;"
5	21	12	"Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;"
5	21	13	"And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife."
5	21	14	"And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her."
5	21	15	"If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated; and [if] the firstborn son be hers that was hated:"
5	21	16	"Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit [that] which he hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn:"
5	21	17	"But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for] the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn [is] his."
5	21	18	"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:"
5	21	19	"Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;"
5	21	20	"And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard."
5	21	21	"And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
5	21	22	"And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:"
5	21	23	"His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance."
5	22	1	"Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother."
5	22	2	"And if thy brother [be] not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again."
5	22	3	"In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself."
5	22	4	"Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift [them] up again."
5	22	5	"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God."
5	22	6	"If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:"
5	22	7	"[But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolong [thy] days."
5	22	8	"When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence."
5	22	9	"Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled."
5	22	10	Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
5	22	11	"Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of woollen and linen together."
5	22	12	"Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest [thyself]."
5	22	13	"If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,"
5	22	14	"And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:"
5	22	15	"Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:"
5	22	16	"And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;"
5	22	17	"And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city."
5	22	18	And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
5	22	19	"And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days."
5	22	20	"But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of] virginity be not found for the damsel:"
5	22	21	"Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you."
5	22	22	"If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel."
5	22	23	"If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;"
5	22	24	"Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you."
5	22	25	"But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:"
5	22	26	"But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:"
5	22	27	"For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her."
5	22	28	"If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;"
5	22	29	"Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days."
5	22	30	"A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt."
5	23	1	"He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD."
5	23	2	A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
5	23	3	An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
5	23	4	"Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee."
5	23	5	"Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee."
5	23	6	Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
5	23	7	Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he [is] thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
5	23	8	The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
5	23	9	"When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing."
5	23	10	"If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:"
5	23	11	"But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp [again]."
5	23	12	"Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:"
5	23	13	"And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:"
5	23	14	"For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
5	23	15	Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
5	23	16	"He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him."
5	23	17	"There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel."
5	23	18	"Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God."
5	23	19	"Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:"
5	23	20	Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
5	23	21	"When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee."
5	23	22	"But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee."
5	23	23	"That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth."
5	23	24	"When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put [any] in thy vessel."
5	23	25	"When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn."
5	24	1	"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house."
5	24	2	"And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's [wife]."
5	24	3	"And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;"
5	24	4	"Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is] abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance."
5	24	5	"When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: [but] he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken."
5	24	6	No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh [a man's] life to pledge.
5	24	7	"If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you."
5	24	8	"Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, [so] ye shall observe to do."
5	24	9	"Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt."
5	24	10	"When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge."
5	24	11	"Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee."
5	24	12	"And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:"
5	24	13	"In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God."
5	24	14	"Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are] in thy land within thy gates:"
5	24	15	"At his day thou shalt give [him] his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee."
5	24	16	"The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
5	24	17	"Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, [nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:"
5	24	18	"But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing."
5	24	19	"When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands."
5	24	20	"When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
5	24	21	"When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean [it] afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
5	24	22	And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
5	25	1	"If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that [the judges] may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked."
5	25	2	"And it shall be, if the wicked man [be] worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number."
5	25	3	"Forty stripes he may give him, [and] not exceed: lest, [if] he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee."
5	25	4	Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out [the corn].
5	25	5	"If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her."
5	25	6	"And it shall be, [that] the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother [which is] dead, that his name be not put out of Israel."
5	25	7	"And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother."
5	25	8	"Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and [if] he stand [to it], and say, I like not to take her;"
5	25	9	"Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house."
5	25	10	"And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed."
5	25	11	"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:"
5	25	12	"Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity [her]."
5	25	13	"Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small."
5	25	14	"Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small."
5	25	15	"[But] thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
5	25	16	"For all that do such things, [and] all that do unrighteously, [are] an abomination unto the LORD thy God."
5	25	17	"Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;"
5	25	18	"How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, [even] all [that were] feeble behind thee, when thou [wast] faint and weary; and he feared not God."
5	25	19	"Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget [it]."
5	26	1	"And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;"
5	26	2	"That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there."
5	26	3	"And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us."
5	26	4	"And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God."
5	26	5	"And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:"
5	26	6	"And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:"
5	26	7	"And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:"
5	26	8	"And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:"
5	26	9	"And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, [even] a land that floweth with milk and honey."
5	26	10	"And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:"
5	26	11	"And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you."
5	26	12	"When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;"
5	26	13	"Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:"
5	26	14	"I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought] thereof for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me."
5	26	15	"Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey."
5	26	16	"This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul."
5	26	17	"Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:"
5	26	18	"And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep all his commandments;"
5	26	19	"And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken."
5	27	1	"And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day."
5	27	2	"And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:"
5	27	3	"And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee."
5	27	4	"Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, [that] ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister."
5	27	5	"And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them."
5	27	6	Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:
5	27	7	"And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God."
5	27	8	And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
5	27	9	"And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God."
5	27	10	"Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day."
5	27	11	"And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,"
5	27	12	"These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:"
5	27	13	"And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali."
5	27	14	"And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,"
5	27	15	"Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth [it] in [a] secret [place]. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen."
5	27	16	"Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	17	"Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	18	"Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	19	"Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	20	"Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	21	"Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	22	"Cursed [be] he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	23	"Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	24	"Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	25	"Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	27	26	"Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen."
5	28	1	"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:"
5	28	2	"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God."
5	28	3	"Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the field."
5	28	4	"Blessed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep."
5	28	5	Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
5	28	6	"Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out."
5	28	7	"The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."
5	28	8	"The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
5	28	9	"The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways."
5	28	10	And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
5	28	11	"And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee."
5	28	12	"The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow."
5	28	13	"And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]:"
5	28	14	"And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left, to go after other gods to serve them."
5	28	15	"But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:"
5	28	16	"Cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and cursed [shalt] thou [be] in the field."
5	28	17	Cursed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
5	28	18	"Cursed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep."
5	28	19	"Cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and cursed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out."
5	28	20	"The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me."
5	28	21	"The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it."
5	28	22	"The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."
5	28	23	"And thy heaven that [is] over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee [shall be] iron."
5	28	24	"The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
5	28	25	"The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth."
5	28	26	"And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray [them] away."
5	28	27	"The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
5	28	28	"The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:"
5	28	29	"And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save [thee]."
5	28	30	"Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof."
5	28	31	"Thine ox [shall be] slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass [shall be] violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep [shall be] given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue [them]."
5	28	32	"Thy sons and thy daughters [shall be] given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail [with longing] for them all the day long: and [there shall be] no might in thine hand."
5	28	33	"The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:"
5	28	34	So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
5	28	35	"The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head."
5	28	36	"The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone."
5	28	37	"And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee."
5	28	38	"Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather [but] little in; for the locust shall consume it."
5	28	39	"Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress [them], but shalt neither drink [of] the wine, nor gather [the grapes]; for the worms shall eat them."
5	28	40	"Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint [thyself] with the oil; for thine olive shall cast [his fruit]."
5	28	41	"Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity."
5	28	42	All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
5	28	43	The stranger that [is] within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
5	28	44	"He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail."
5	28	45	"Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:"
5	28	46	"And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever."
5	28	47	"Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all [things];"
5	28	48	"Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all [things]: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee."
5	28	49	"The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, [as swift] as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;"
5	28	50	"A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:"
5	28	51	"And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which [also] shall not leave thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee."
5	28	52	"And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee."
5	28	53	"And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:"
5	28	54	"[So that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:"
5	28	55	"So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates."
5	28	56	"The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,"
5	28	57	"And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates."
5	28	58	"If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;"
5	28	59	"Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance."
5	28	60	"Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee."
5	28	61	"Also every sickness, and every plague, which [is] not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
5	28	62	"And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God."
5	28	63	"And it shall come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it."
5	28	64	"And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and stone."
5	28	65	"And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:"
5	28	66	"And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:"
5	28	67	"In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."
5	28	68	"And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy [you]."
5	29	1	"These [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb."
5	29	2	"And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;"
5	29	3	"The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:"
5	29	4	"Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day."
5	29	5	"And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot."
5	29	6	"Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God."
5	29	7	"And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:"
5	29	8	"And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh."
5	29	9	"Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do."
5	29	10	"Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,"
5	29	11	"Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that [is] in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:"
5	29	12	"That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:"
5	29	13	"That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
5	29	14	Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
5	29	15	"But with [him] that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:"
5	29	16	(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
5	29	17	"And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)"
5	29	18	"Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;"
5	29	19	"And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:"
5	29	20	"The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven."
5	29	21	"And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:"
5	29	22	"So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;"
5	29	23	"[And that] the whole land thereof [is] brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:"
5	29	24	"Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?"
5	29	25	"Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:"
5	29	26	"For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given unto them:"
5	29	27	"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:"
5	29	28	"And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it is] this day."
5	29	29	"The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law."
5	30	1	"And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,"
5	30	2	"And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;"
5	30	3	"That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee."
5	30	4	"If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:"
5	30	5	"And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers."
5	30	6	"And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."
5	30	7	"And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee."
5	30	8	"And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day."
5	30	9	"And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:"
5	30	10	"If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul."
5	30	11	"For this commandment which I command thee this day, it [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off."
5	30	12	"It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?"
5	30	13	"Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?"
5	30	14	"But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it."
5	30	15	"See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;"
5	30	16	"In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it."
5	30	17	"But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;"
5	30	18	"I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it."
5	30	19	"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"
5	30	20	"That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
5	31	1	And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
5	31	2	"And he said unto them, I [am] an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
5	31	3	"The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: [and] Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said."
5	31	4	"And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed."
5	31	5	"And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you."
5	31	6	"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
5	31	7	"And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it."
5	31	8	"And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
5	31	9	"And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel."
5	31	10	"And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,"
5	31	11	"When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
5	31	12	"Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:"
5	31	13	"And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."
5	31	14	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation."
5	31	15	And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
5	31	16	"And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them."
5	31	17	"Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God [is] not among us?"
5	31	18	"And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods."
5	31	19	"Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel."
5	31	20	"For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant."
5	31	21	"And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware."
5	31	22	"Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel."
5	31	23	"And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee."
5	31	24	"And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,"
5	31	25	"That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,"
5	31	26	"Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."
5	31	27	"For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?"
5	31	28	"Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them."
5	31	29	"For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands."
5	31	30	"And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended."
5	32	1	"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth."
5	32	2	"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:"
5	32	3	Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
5	32	4	"[He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he."
5	32	5	"They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation."
5	32	6	"Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?"
5	32	7	"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee."
5	32	8	"When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."
5	32	9	For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance.
5	32	10	"He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye."
5	32	11	"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:"
5	32	12	"[So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange god with him."
5	32	13	"He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;"
5	32	14	"Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape."
5	32	15	"But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation."
5	32	16	"They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger."
5	32	17	"They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not."
5	32	18	"Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee."
5	32	19	"And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."
5	32	20	"And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end [shall be]: for they [are] a very froward generation, children in whom [is] no faith."
5	32	21	They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is] not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
5	32	22	"For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
5	32	23	I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
5	32	24	"[They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust."
5	32	25	"The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray hairs."
5	32	26	"I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:"
5	32	27	"Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this."
5	32	28	"For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them."
5	32	29	"O that they were wise, [that] they understood this, [that] they would consider their latter end!"
5	32	30	"How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?"
5	32	31	"For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves [being] judges."
5	32	32	"For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter:"
5	32	33	"Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps."
5	32	34	"[Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up among my treasures?"
5	32	35	"To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste."
5	32	36	"For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and [there is] none shut up, or left."
5	32	37	"And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they trusted,"
5	32	38	"Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be your protection."
5	32	39	"See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand."
5	32	40	"For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever."
5	32	41	"If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me."
5	32	42	"I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy."
5	32	43	"Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people."
5	32	44	"And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun."
5	32	45	And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
5	32	46	"And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law."
5	32	47	"For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is] your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."
5	32	48	"And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,"
5	32	49	"Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:"
5	32	50	"And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:"
5	32	51	"Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel."
5	32	52	Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
5	33	1	"And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death."
5	33	2	"And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them."	O?: "And he said: The Lord came from Sinai and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from Mount Párán and He came with ten thousand of saints; from His right hand went a fiery law for them."

5	33	4	"Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob."
5	33	5	"And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together."
5	33	6	"Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few."
5	33	7	"And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies."
5	33	8	"And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;"
5	33	9	"Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant."
5	33	10	"They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar."
5	33	11	"Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again."
5	33	12	"[And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; [and the LORD] shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders."
5	33	13	"And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD [be] his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,"
5	33	14	"And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,"
5	33	15	"And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,"
5	33	16	"And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him [that was] separated from his brethren."
5	33	17	"His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh."
5	33	18	"And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents."
5	33	19	"They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the abundance of the seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand."
5	33	20	"And of Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head."
5	33	21	"And he provided the first part for himself, because there, [in] a portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel."
5	33	22	"And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan."
5	33	23	"And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south."

5	33	25	"Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so shall] thy strength [be]."
5	33	26	"[There is] none like unto the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky."
5	33	27	"The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them]."
5	33	28	Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
5	33	29	"Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places."
5	34	1	"And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,"
5	34	2	"And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,"
5	34	3	"And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar."
5	34	4	"And the LORD said unto him, This [is] the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither."
5	34	5	"So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD."
5	34	6	"And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day."
5	34	7	"And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated."
5	34	8	And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses were ended.
5	34	9	"And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses."

5	34	11	"In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,"
5	34	12	"And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel."

6	1	1	"Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,"
6	1	2	"Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel."
6	1	3	"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."
6	1	4	"From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast."
6	1	5	"There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
6	1	6	"Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them."
6	1	7	"Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest."
6	1	8	"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
6	1	9	"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest."
6	1	10	"Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,"
6	1	11	"Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it."
6	1	12	"And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,"
6	1	13	"Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land."
6	1	14	"Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;"
6	1	15	"Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising."
6	1	16	"And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go."
6	1	17	"According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses."
6	1	18	"Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage."
6	2	1	"And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there."
6	2	2	"And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country."
6	2	3	"And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country."
6	2	4	"And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they [were]:"
6	2	5	"And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them."
6	2	6	"But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
6	2	7	"And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate."
6	2	8	"And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;"
6	2	9	"And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you."
6	2	10	"For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed."
6	2	11	"And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath."
6	2	12	"Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:"
6	2	13	"And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."
6	2	14	"And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee."
6	2	15	"Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall."
6	2	16	"And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way."
6	2	17	"And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear."
6	2	18	"Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee."
6	2	19	"And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him."
6	2	20	"And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear."
6	2	21	"And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window."
6	2	22	"And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not."
6	2	23	"So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell them:"
6	2	24	"And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us."
6	3	1	"And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over."
6	3	2	"And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;"
6	3	3	"And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it."
6	3	4	"Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore."
6	3	5	"And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you."
6	3	6	"And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people."
6	3	7	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee."
6	3	8	"And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan."
6	3	9	"And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God."
6	3	10	"And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites."
6	3	11	"Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan."
6	3	12	"Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man."
6	3	13	"And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap."
6	3	14	"And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;"
6	3	15	"And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)"
6	3	16	"That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
6	3	17	"And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan."
6	4	1	"And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,"
6	4	2	"Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,"
6	4	3	"And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night."
6	4	4	"Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:"
6	4	5	"And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:"
6	4	6	"That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?"
6	4	7	"Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever."
6	4	8	"And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there."
6	4	9	"And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day."
6	4	10	"For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over."
6	4	11	"And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people."
6	4	12	"And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:"
6	4	13	"About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho."
6	4	14	"On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life."
6	4	15	"And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,"
6	4	16	"Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan."
6	4	17	"Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan."
6	4	18	"And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as [they did] before."
6	4	19	"And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho."
6	4	20	"And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal."
6	4	21	"And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?"
6	4	22	"Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land."
6	4	23	"For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:"
6	4	24	"That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever."
6	5	1	"And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel."
6	5	2	"At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
6	5	3	"And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins."
6	5	4	"And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt."
6	5	5	"Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised."
6	5	6	"For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."
6	5	7	"And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way."
6	5	8	"And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole."
6	5	9	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day."
6	5	10	"And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho."
6	5	11	"And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the selfsame day."
6	5	12	And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
6	5	13	"And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?"
6	5	14	"And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?"
6	5	15	"And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so."
6	6	1	"Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in."
6	6	2	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour."
6	6	3	"And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days."
6	6	4	"And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets."
6	6	5	"And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him."
6	6	6	"And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."
6	6	7	"And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD."
6	6	8	"And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them."
6	6	9	"And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets."
6	6	10	"And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout."
6	6	11	"So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp."
6	6	12	"And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD."
6	6	13	"And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets."
6	6	14	"And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days."
6	6	15	"And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times."
6	6	16	"And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city."
6	6	17	"And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all that [are] therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent."
6	6	18	"And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it."
6	6	19	"But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, [are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD."
6	6	20	"So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city."
6	6	21	"And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."
6	6	22	"But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her."
6	6	23	"And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel."
6	6	24	"And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD."
6	6	25	"And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho."
6	6	26	"And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be] the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest [son] shall he set up the gates of it."
6	6	27	So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country.
6	7	1	"But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel."
6	7	2	"And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai."
6	7	3	"And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but] few."
6	7	4	So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
6	7	5	"And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water."
6	7	6	"And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads."
6	7	7	"And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!"
6	7	8	"O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!"
6	7	9	"For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?"
6	7	10	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?"
6	7	11	"Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own stuff."
6	7	12	"Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you."
6	7	13	"Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you."
6	7	14	"In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families [thereof]; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man."
6	7	15	"And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel."
6	7	16	"So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:"
6	7	17	And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
6	7	18	"And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken."
6	7	19	"And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me."
6	7	20	"And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:"
6	7	21	"When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it."
6	7	22	"So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it."
6	7	23	"And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD."
6	7	24	"And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor."
6	7	25	"And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones."
6	7	26	"And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day."
6	8	1	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:"
6	8	2	"And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it."
6	8	3	"So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night."
6	8	4	"And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:"
6	8	5	"And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,"
6	8	6	"(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them."
6	8	7	"Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand."
6	8	8	"And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you."
6	8	9	"Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people."
6	8	10	"And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai."
6	8	11	"And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai."
6	8	12	"And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city."
6	8	13	"And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley."
6	8	14	"And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city."
6	8	15	"And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness."
6	8	16	"And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city."
6	8	17	"And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel."
6	8	18	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city."
6	8	19	"And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire."
6	8	20	"And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers."
6	8	21	"And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai."
6	8	22	"And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape."
6	8	23	"And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua."
6	8	24	"And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword."
6	8	25	"And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai."
6	8	26	"For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai."
6	8	27	"Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua."
6	8	28	"And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, [even] a desolation unto this day."
6	8	29	"And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] unto this day."
6	8	30	"Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,"
6	8	31	"As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up [any] iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings."
6	8	32	"And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel."
6	8	33	"And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel."
6	8	34	"And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law."
6	8	35	"There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them."
6	9	1	"And it came to pass, when all the kings which [were] on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [thereof];"
6	9	2	"That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord."
6	9	3	"And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,"
6	9	4	"They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;"
6	9	5	"And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy."
6	9	6	"And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us."
6	9	7	"And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?"
6	9	8	"And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence come ye?"
6	9	9	"And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,"
6	9	10	"And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which [was] at Ashtaroth."
6	9	11	"Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us."
6	9	12	"This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:"
6	9	13	"And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey."
6	9	14	"And the men took of their victuals, and asked not [counsel] at the mouth of the LORD."
6	9	15	"And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them."
6	9	16	"And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbours, and [that] they dwelt among them."
6	9	17	"And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim."
6	9	18	"And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes."
6	9	19	"But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them."
6	9	20	"This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them."
6	9	21	"And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them."
6	9	22	"And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye dwell among us?"
6	9	23	"Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."
6	9	24	"And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing."
6	9	25	"And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do."
6	9	26	"And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not."
6	9	27	"And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose."
6	10	1	"Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;"
6	10	2	"That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all the men thereof [were] mighty."
6	10	3	"Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,"
6	10	4	"Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."
6	10	5	"Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it."
6	10	6	"And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us."
6	10	7	"So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour."
6	10	8	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
6	10	9	"Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal all night."
6	10	10	"And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah."
6	10	11	"And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
6	10	12	"Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
6	10	13	"And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
6	10	14	"And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
6	10	15	"And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
6	10	16	"But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah."
6	10	17	"And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah."
6	10	18	"And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:"
6	10	19	"And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand."
6	10	20	"And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [which] remained of them entered into fenced cities."
6	10	21	And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
6	10	22	"Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave."
6	10	23	"And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon."
6	10	24	"And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them."
6	10	25	"And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight."
6	10	26	"And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening."
6	10	27	"And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, [which remain] until this very day."
6	10	28	"And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho."
6	10	29	"Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:"
6	10	30	"And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho."
6	10	31	"And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:"
6	10	32	"And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah."
6	10	33	"Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining."
6	10	34	"And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:"
6	10	35	"And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish."
6	10	36	"And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:"
6	10	37	"And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein."
6	10	38	"And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:"
6	10	39	"And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king."
6	10	40	"So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded."
6	10	41	"And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon."
6	10	42	"And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel."
6	10	43	"And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
6	11	1	"And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
6	11	2	"And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,"
6	11	3	"[And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh."
6	11	4	"And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many."
6	11	5	"And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel."
6	11	6	"And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
6	11	7	"So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them."
6	11	8	"And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining."
6	11	9	"And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire."
6	11	10	"And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms."
6	11	11	"And they smote all the souls that [were] therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire."
6	11	12	"And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded."
6	11	13	"But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn."
6	11	14	"And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe."
6	11	15	"As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses."
6	11	16	"So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;"
6	11	17	"[Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them."
6	11	18	Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
6	11	19	"There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took in battle."
6	11	20	"For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses."
6	11	21	"And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities."
6	11	22	"There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained."
6	11	23	"So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war."
6	12	1	"Now these [are] the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:"
6	12	2	"Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;"
6	12	3	"And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:"
6	12	4	"And the coast of Og king of Bashan, [which was] of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,"
6	12	5	"And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon."
6	12	6	"Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it [for] a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh."
6	12	7	"And these [are] the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to their divisions;"
6	12	8	"In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:"
6	12	9	"The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which [is] beside Bethel, one;"
6	12	10	"The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;"
6	12	11	"The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;"
6	12	12	"The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;"
6	12	13	"The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;"
6	12	14	"The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;"
6	12	15	"The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;"
6	12	16	"The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;"
6	12	17	"The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;"
6	12	18	"The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;"
6	12	19	"The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;"
6	12	20	"The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;"
6	12	21	"The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;"
6	12	22	"The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;"
6	12	23	"The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;"
6	12	24	"The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one."
6	13	1	"Now Joshua was old [and] stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed."
6	13	2	"This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,"
6	13	3	"From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:"
6	13	4	"From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:"
6	13	5	"And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath."
6	13	6	"All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee."
6	13	7	"Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,"
6	13	8	"With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;"
6	13	9	"From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;"
6	13	10	"And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;"
6	13	11	"And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;"
6	13	12	"All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out."
6	13	13	"Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day."
6	13	14	"Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as he said unto them."
6	13	15	And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben [inheritance] according to their families.
6	13	16	"And their coast was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;"
6	13	17	"Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,"
6	13	18	"And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,"
6	13	19	"And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,"
6	13	20	"And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,"
6	13	21	"And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, [which were] dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country."
6	13	22	"Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them."
6	13	23	"And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border [thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof."
6	13	24	"And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, [even] unto the children of Gad according to their families."
6	13	25	"And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;"
6	13	26	"And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;"
6	13	27	"And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and [his] border, [even] unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward."
6	13	28	"This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages."
6	13	29	And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
6	13	30	"And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, threescore cities:"
6	13	31	"And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their families."
6	13	32	"These [are the countries] which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward."
6	13	33	"But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said unto them."
6	14	1	"And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them."
6	14	2	"By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe."
6	14	3	For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
6	14	4	"For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance."
6	14	5	"As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land."
6	14	6	"Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea."
6	14	7	Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as [it was] in mine heart.
6	14	8	Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
6	14	9	"And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God."
6	14	10	"And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while [the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day fourscore and five years old."
6	14	11	"As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in."
6	14	12	"Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said."
6	14	13	"And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance."
6	14	14	"Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel."
6	14	15	And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
6	15	1	[This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south coast.
6	15	2	"And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:"
6	15	3	"And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:"
6	15	4	"[From thence] it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast."
6	15	5	"And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:"
6	15	6	"And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:"
6	15	7	"And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:"
6	15	8	"And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:"
6	15	9	"And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim:"
6	15	10	"And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:"
6	15	11	"And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea."
6	15	12	"And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families."
6	15	13	"And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron."
6	15	14	"And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak."
6	15	15	And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher.
6	15	16	"And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
6	15	17	"And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
6	15	18	"And it came to pass, as she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?"
6	15	19	"Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs."
6	15	20	This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
6	15	21	"And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,"
6	15	22	"And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,"
6	15	23	"And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,"
6	15	24	"Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,"
6	15	25	"And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, [and] Hezron, which [is] Hazor,"
6	15	26	"Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,"
6	15	27	"And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,"
6	15	28	"And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,"
6	15	29	"Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,"
6	15	30	"And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,"
6	15	31	"And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,"
6	15	32	"And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities [are] twenty and nine, with their villages:"
6	15	33	"[And] in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,"
6	15	34	"And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,"
6	15	35	"Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,"
6	15	36	"And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:"
6	15	37	"Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,"
6	15	38	"And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,"
6	15	39	"Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,"
6	15	40	"And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,"
6	15	41	"And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages:"
6	15	42	"Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,"
6	15	43	"And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,"
6	15	44	"And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:"
6	15	45	"Ekron, with her towns and her villages:"
6	15	46	"From Ekron even unto the sea, all that [lay] near Ashdod, with their villages:"
6	15	47	"Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border [thereof]:"
6	15	48	"And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,"
6	15	49	"And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir,"
6	15	50	"And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,"
6	15	51	"And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages:"
6	15	52	"Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,"
6	15	53	"And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,"
6	15	54	"And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages:"
6	15	55	"Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,"
6	15	56	"And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,"
6	15	57	"Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:"
6	15	58	"Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,"
6	15	59	"And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages:"
6	15	60	"Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages:"
6	15	61	"In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,"
6	15	62	"And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages."
6	15	63	"As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day."
6	16	1	"And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,"
6	16	2	"And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,"
6	16	3	"And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea."
6	16	4	"So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance."
6	16	5	"And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;"
6	16	6	"And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;"
6	16	7	"And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan."
6	16	8	The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
6	16	9	"And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages."
6	16	10	"And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute."
6	17	1	"There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan."
6	17	2	"There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families."
6	17	3	"But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah."
6	17	4	"And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father."
6	17	5	"And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;"
6	17	6	Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
6	17	7	"And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah."
6	17	8	[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
6	17	9	"And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:"
6	17	10	"Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east."
6	17	11	"And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries."
6	17	12	Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
6	17	13	"Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out."
6	17	14	"And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?"
6	17	15	"And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee."
6	17	16	"And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel."
6	17	17	"And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:"
6	17	18	"But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong."
6	18	1	"And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them."
6	18	2	"And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance."
6	18	3	"And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?"
6	18	4	"Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come [again] to me."
6	18	5	"And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north."
6	18	6	"Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God."
6	18	7	"But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."
6	18	8	"And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh."
6	18	9	"And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh."
6	18	10	And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
6	18	11	And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
6	18	12	"And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven."
6	18	13	"And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron."
6	18	14	"And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this [was] the west quarter."
6	18	15	"And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:"
6	18	16	"And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,"
6	18	17	"And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,"
6	18	18	"And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:"
6	18	19	And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this [was] the south coast.
6	18	20	"And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families."
6	18	21	"Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,"
6	18	22	"And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,"
6	18	23	"And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,"
6	18	24	"And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:"
6	18	25	"Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,"
6	18	26	"And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,"
6	18	27	"And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,"
6	18	28	"And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem, Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families."
6	19	1	"And the second lot came forth to Simeon, [even] for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah."
6	19	2	"And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,"
6	19	3	"And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,"
6	19	4	"And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,"
6	19	5	"And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,"
6	19	6	"And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:"
6	19	7	"Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:"
6	19	8	"And all the villages that [were] round about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families."
6	19	9	Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
6	19	10	And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
6	19	11	"And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam;"
6	19	12	"And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,"
6	19	13	"And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;"
6	19	14	And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:
6	19	15	"And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages."
6	19	16	"This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages."
6	19	17	"[And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families."
6	19	18	"And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,"
6	19	19	"And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,"
6	19	20	"And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,"
6	19	21	"And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;"
6	19	22	"And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages."
6	19	23	"This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages."
6	19	24	And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
6	19	25	"And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,"
6	19	26	"And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;"
6	19	27	"And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,"
6	19	28	"And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, [even] unto great Zidon;"
6	19	29	"And [then] the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:"
6	19	30	"Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages."
6	19	31	"This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages."
6	19	32	"The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, [even] for the children of Naphtali according to their families."
6	19	33	"And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:"
6	19	34	"And [then] the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising."
6	19	35	"And the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,"
6	19	36	"And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,"
6	19	37	"And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,"
6	19	38	"And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages."
6	19	39	"This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages."
6	19	40	[And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
6	19	41	"And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,"
6	19	42	"And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,"
6	19	43	"And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,"
6	19	44	"And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,"
6	19	45	"And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,"
6	19	46	"And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho."
6	19	47	"And the coast of the children of Dan went out [too little] for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father."
6	19	48	"This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages."
6	19	49	"When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:"
6	19	50	"According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein."
6	19	51	"These [are] the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country."
6	20	1	"The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,"
6	20	2	"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:"
6	20	3	That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and] unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
6	20	4	"And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them."
6	20	5	"And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime."
6	20	6	"And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled."
6	20	7	"And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, in the mountain of Judah."
6	20	8	"And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh."
6	20	9	"These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth [any] person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation."
6	21	1	"Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;"
6	21	2	"And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle."
6	21	3	"And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs."
6	21	4	"And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [which were] of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities."
6	21	5	"And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities."
6	21	6	"And the children of Gershon [had] by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities."
6	21	7	"The children of Merari by their families [had] out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities."
6	21	8	"And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses."
6	21	9	"And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here] mentioned by name,"
6	21	10	"Which the children of Aaron, [being] of the families of the Kohathites, [who were] of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot."
6	21	11	"And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron, in the hill [country] of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it."
6	21	12	"But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession."
6	21	13	"Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,"
6	21	14	"And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,"
6	21	15	"And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,"
6	21	16	"And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, [and] Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes."
6	21	17	"And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,"
6	21	18	"Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	19	"All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs."
6	21	20	"And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim."
6	21	21	"For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,"
6	21	22	"And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	23	"And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,"
6	21	24	"Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	25	"And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities."
6	21	26	All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
6	21	27	"And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities."
6	21	28	"And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,"
6	21	29	"Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	30	"And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,"
6	21	31	"Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	32	"And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities."
6	21	33	All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.
6	21	34	"And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,"
6	21	35	"Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	36	"And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,"
6	21	37	"Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities."
6	21	38	"And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,"
6	21	39	"Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all."
6	21	40	"So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot twelve cities."
6	21	41	All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
6	21	42	These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus [were] all these cities.
6	21	43	"And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein."
6	21	44	"And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand."
6	21	45	There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
6	22	1	"Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,"
6	22	2	"And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:"
6	22	3	"Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God."
6	22	4	"And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan."
6	22	5	"But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
6	22	6	"So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents."
6	22	7	"Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,"
6	22	8	"And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."
6	22	9	"And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
6	22	10	"And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that [are] in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to."
6	22	11	"And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel."
6	22	12	"And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them."
6	22	13	"And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,"
6	22	14	"And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel."
6	22	15	"And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,"
6	22	16	"Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?"
6	22	17	"[Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,"
6	22	18	"But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel."
6	22	19	"Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be] unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God."
6	22	20	"Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity."
6	22	21	"Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,"
6	22	22	"The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)"
6	22	23	"That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require [it];"
6	22	24	"And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?"
6	22	25	"For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD."
6	22	26	"Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:"
6	22	27	"But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD."
6	22	28	"Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again], Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you."
6	22	29	"God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that [is] before his tabernacle."
6	22	30	"And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them."
6	22	31	"And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD [is] among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."
6	22	32	"And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again."
6	22	33	"And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt."
6	22	34	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is] God.
6	23	1	"And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old [and] stricken in age."
6	23	2	"And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old [and] stricken in age:"
6	23	3	And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God [is] he that hath fought for you.
6	23	4	"Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward."
6	23	5	"And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you."
6	23	6	"Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left;"
6	23	7	"That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:"
6	23	8	"But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day."
6	23	9	"For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day."
6	23	10	"One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you."
6	23	11	"Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God."
6	23	12	"Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:"
6	23	13	"Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you."
6	23	14	"And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing hath failed thereof."
6	23	15	"Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you."
6	23	16	"When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you."
6	24	1	"And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God."
6	24	2	"And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods."
6	24	3	"And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac."
6	24	4	"And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt."
6	24	5	"I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out."
6	24	6	And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
6	24	7	"And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season."
6	24	8	"And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you."
6	24	9	"Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:"
6	24	10	But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
6	24	11	"And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand."
6	24	12	"And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword, nor with thy bow."
6	24	13	"And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat."
6	24	14	"Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD."
6	24	15	"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
6	24	16	"And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;"
6	24	17	"For the LORD our God, he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:"
6	24	18	"And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve the LORD; for he [is] our God."
6	24	19	"And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins."
6	24	20	"If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good."
6	24	21	"And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD."
6	24	22	"And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses."
6	24	23	"Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel."
6	24	24	"And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey."
6	24	25	"So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem."
6	24	26	"And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of the LORD."
6	24	27	"And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God."
6	24	28	"So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance."
6	24	29	"And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an hundred and ten years old."
6	24	30	"And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash."
6	24	31	"And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel."
6	24	32	"And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph."
6	24	33	"And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim."

7	1	1	"Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?"
7	1	2	"And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand."
7	1	3	"And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him."
7	1	4	And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
7	1	5	"And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites."
7	1	6	"But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes."
7	1	7	"And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died."
7	1	8	"Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire."
7	1	9	"And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley."
7	1	10	"And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai."
7	1	11	And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher:
7	1	12	"And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
7	1	13	"And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
7	1	14	"And it came to pass, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off [her] ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?"
7	1	15	"And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs."
7	1	16	"And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which [lieth] in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people."
7	1	17	"And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah."
7	1	18	"Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof."
7	1	19	"And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
7	1	20	"And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak."
7	1	21	And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
7	1	22	"And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD [was] with them."
7	1	23	And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before [was] Luz.)
7	1	24	"And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy."
7	1	25	"And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family."
7	1	26	"And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which [is] the name thereof unto this day."
7	1	27	"Neither did Manasseh drive out [the inhabitants of] Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land."
7	1	28	"And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out."
7	1	29	Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
7	1	30	"Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries."
7	1	31	"Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:"
7	1	32	"But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out."
7	1	33	"Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them."
7	1	34	And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
7	1	35	"But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries."
7	1	36	"And the coast of the Amorites [was] from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward."
7	2	1	"And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you."
7	2	2	And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
7	2	3	"Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you."
7	2	4	"And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept."
7	2	5	And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
7	2	6	"And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land."
7	2	7	"And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel."
7	2	8	"And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an hundred and ten years old."
7	2	9	"And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash."
7	2	10	"And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel."
7	2	11	"And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:"
7	2	12	"And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that [were] round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger."
7	2	13	"And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth."
7	2	14	"And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies."
7	2	15	"Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed."
7	2	16	"Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them."
7	2	17	"And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so."
7	2	18	"And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them."
7	2	19	"And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, [that] they returned, and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way."
7	2	20	"And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;"
7	2	21	I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
7	2	22	"That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep [it], or not."
7	2	23	"Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua."
7	3	1	"Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;"
7	3	2	"Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;"
7	3	3	"[Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath."
7	3	4	"And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses."
7	3	5	"And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:"
7	3	6	"And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods."
7	3	7	"And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves."
7	3	8	"Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years."
7	3	9	"And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother."
7	3	10	"And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim."
7	3	11	And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
7	3	12	"And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD."
7	3	13	"And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees."
7	3	14	So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
7	3	15	"But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab."
7	3	16	"But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh."
7	3	17	And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
7	3	18	"And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present."
7	3	19	"But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him."
7	3	20	"And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat."
7	3	21	"And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:"
7	3	22	"And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out."
7	3	23	"Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them."
7	3	24	"When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber."
7	3	25	"And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened [them]: and, behold, their lord [was] fallen down dead on the earth."
7	3	26	"And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath."
7	3	27	"And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them."
7	3	28	"And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over."
7	3	29	"And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man."
7	3	30	So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
7	3	31	"And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel."
7	4	1	"And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead."
7	4	2	"And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host [was] Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles."
7	4	3	And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
7	4	4	"And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time."
7	4	5	And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
7	4	6	"And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, [saying], Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?"
7	4	7	"And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand."
7	4	8	"And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, [then] I will not go."
7	4	9	"And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."
7	4	10	And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
7	4	11	"Now Heber the Kenite, [which was] of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh."
7	4	12	And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
7	4	13	"And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, [even] nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that [were] with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon."
7	4	14	"And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this [is] the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."
7	4	15	"And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all [his] chariots, and all [his] host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off [his] chariot, and fled away on his feet."
7	4	16	"But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; [and] there was not a man left."
7	4	17	Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for [there was] peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
7	4	18	"And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle."
7	4	19	"And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him."
7	4	20	"Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No."
7	4	21	"Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died."
7	4	22	"And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her [tent], behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples."
7	4	23	So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
7	4	24	"And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan."
7	5	1	"Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,"
7	5	2	"Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves."
7	5	3	"Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD God of Israel."
7	5	4	"LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water."
7	5	5	"The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel."
7	5	6	"In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways."
7	5	7	"[The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel."
7	5	8	They chose new gods; then [was] war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
7	5	9	"My heart [is] toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD."
7	5	10	"Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way."
7	5	11	"[They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, [even] the righteous acts [toward the inhabitants] of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates."
7	5	12	"Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam."
7	5	13	Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
7	5	14	"Out of Ephraim [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer."
7	5	15	"And the princes of Issachar [were] with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of heart."
7	5	16	"Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of heart."
7	5	17	"Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches."
7	5	18	Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
7	5	19	"The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money."
7	5	20	They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
7	5	21	"The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength."
7	5	22	"Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones."
7	5	23	"Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty."
7	5	24	"Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent."
7	5	25	"He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish."
7	5	26	"She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples."
7	5	27	"At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead."
7	5	28	"The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot [so] long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?"
7	5	29	"Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,"
7	5	30	"Have they not sped? have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?"
7	5	31	"So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years."
7	6	1	And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
7	6	2	"And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and] because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds."
7	6	3	"And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;"
7	6	4	"And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass."
7	6	5	"For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it."
7	6	6	And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
7	6	7	"And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,"
7	6	8	"That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;"
7	6	9	"And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;"
7	6	10	"And I said unto you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice."
7	6	11	"And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the Midianites."
7	6	12	"And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD [is] with thee, thou mighty man of valour."
7	6	13	"And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where [be] all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites."
7	6	14	"And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?"
7	6	15	"And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family [is] poor in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my father's house."
7	6	16	"And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man."
7	6	17	"And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me."
7	6	18	"Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set [it] before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again."
7	6	19	"And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought [it] out unto him under the oak, and presented [it]."
7	6	20	"And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay [them] upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so."
7	6	21	"Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that [was] in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight."
7	6	22	"And when Gideon perceived that he [was] an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face."
7	6	23	"And the LORD said unto him, Peace [be] unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die."
7	6	24	"Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
7	6	25	"And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that [is] by it:"
7	6	26	"And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down."
7	6	27	"Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that he did [it] by night."
7	6	28	"And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that [was] by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar [that was] built."
7	6	29	"And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing."
7	6	30	"Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that [was] by it."
7	6	31	"And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he [be] a god, let him plead for himself, because [one] hath cast down his altar."
7	6	32	"Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar."
7	6	33	"Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel."
7	6	34	"But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him."
7	6	35	"And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them."
7	6	36	"And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,"
7	6	37	"Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; [and] if the dew be on the fleece only, and [it be] dry upon all the earth [beside], then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said."
7	6	38	"And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water."
7	6	39	"And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew."
7	6	40	"And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground."
7	7	1	"Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley."
7	7	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 vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me."
7	7	3	"Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand."
7	7	4	"And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too] many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go."
7	7	5	"So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink."
7	7	6	"And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water."
7	7	7	"And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the [other] people go every man unto his place."
7	7	8	"So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley."
7	7	9	"And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand."
7	7	10	"But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:"
7	7	11	And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that [were] in the host.
7	7	12	"And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude."
7	7	13	"And when Gideon was come, behold, [there was] a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along."
7	7	14	"And his fellow answered and said, This [is] nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host."
7	7	15	"And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian."
7	7	16	"And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers."
7	7	17	"And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that], as I do, so shall ye do."
7	7	18	"When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon."
7	7	19	"So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that [were] in their hands."
7	7	20	"And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon."
7	7	21	"And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled."
7	7	22	"And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath."
7	7	23	"And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites."
7	7	24	"And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan."
7	7	25	"And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan."
7	8	1	"And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply."
7	8	2	"And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?"
7	8	3	"God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that."
7	8	4	"And Gideon came to Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the three hundred men that [were] with him, faint, yet pursuing [them]."
7	8	5	"And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they [be] faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."
7	8	6	"And the princes of Succoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?"
7	8	7	"And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
7	8	8	"And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered [him]."
7	8	9	"And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
7	8	10	"Now Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand [men], all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword."
7	8	11	"And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure."
7	8	12	"And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host."
7	8	13	"And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun [was up],"
7	8	14	"And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen men."
7	8	15	"And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men [that are] weary?"
7	8	16	"And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth."
7	8	17	"And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city."
7	8	18	"Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men [were they] whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou [art], so [were] they; each one resembled the children of a king."
7	8	19	"And he said, They [were] my brethren, [even] the sons of my mother: [as] the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you."
7	8	20	"And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, [and] slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he [was] yet a youth."
7	8	21	"Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man [is, so is] his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that [were] on their camels' necks."
7	8	22	"Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian."
7	8	23	"And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you."
7	8	24	"And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)"
7	8	25	"And they answered, We will willingly give [them]. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey."
7	8	26	"And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that [was] on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that [were] about their camels' necks."
7	8	27	"And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, [even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house."
7	8	28	"Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
7	8	29	And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
7	8	30	And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
7	8	31	"And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech."
7	8	32	"And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
7	8	33	"And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god."
7	8	34	"And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:"
7	8	35	"Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, [namely], Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel."
7	9	1	"And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,"
7	9	2	"Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether [is] better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which are] threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh."
7	9	3	"And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He [is] our brother."
7	9	4	"And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him."
7	9	5	"And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, [being] threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself."
7	9	6	"And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that [was] in Shechem."
7	9	7	"And when they told [it] to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you."
7	9	8	"The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us."
7	9	9	"But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
7	9	10	"And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, [and] reign over us."
7	9	11	"But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
7	9	12	"Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, [and] reign over us."
7	9	13	"And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
7	9	14	"Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, [and] reign over us."
7	9	15	"And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon."
7	9	16	"Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;"
7	9	17	"(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:"
7	9	18	"And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he [is] your brother;)"
7	9	19	"If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, [then] rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:"
7	9	20	"But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech."
7	9	21	"And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother."
7	9	22	"When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,"
7	9	23	Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
7	9	24	"That the cruelty [done] to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren."
7	9	25	"And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech."
7	9	26	"And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him."
7	9	27	"And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech."
7	9	28	"And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? [is] not [he] the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?"
7	9	29	"And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out."
7	9	30	"And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled."
7	9	31	"And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee."
7	9	32	"Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that [is] with thee, and lie in wait in the field:"
7	9	33	"And it shall be, [that] in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, [when] he and the people that [is] with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion."
7	9	34	"And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that [were] with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies."
7	9	35	"And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that [were] with him, from lying in wait."
7	9	36	"And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as [if they were] men."
7	9	37	"And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim."
7	9	38	"Then said Zebul unto him, Where [is] now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve him? [is] not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them."
7	9	39	"And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech."
7	9	40	"And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown [and] wounded, [even] unto the entering of the gate."
7	9	41	"And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem."
7	9	42	"And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech."
7	9	43	"And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people [were] come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them."
7	9	44	"And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people] that [were] in the fields, and slew them."
7	9	45	"And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that [was] therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt."
7	9	46	"And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard [that], they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith."
7	9	47	"And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together."
7	9	48	"And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid [it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people that [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and] do as I [have done]."
7	9	49	"And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women."
7	9	50	"Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it."
7	9	51	"But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut [it] to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower."
7	9	52	"And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire."
7	9	53	"And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull."
7	9	54	"Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died."
7	9	55	"And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place."
7	9	56	"Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:"
7	9	57	And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
7	10	1	"And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim."
7	10	2	"And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir."
7	10	3	"And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years."
7	10	4	"And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which [are] in the land of Gilead."
7	10	5	"And Jair died, and was buried in Camon."
7	10	6	"And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him."
7	10	7	"And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon."
7	10	8	"And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that [were] on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in Gilead."
7	10	9	"Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed."
7	10	10	"And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim."
7	10	11	"And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?"
7	10	12	"The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand."
7	10	13	"Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more."
7	10	14	Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
7	10	15	"And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day."
7	10	16	"And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel."
7	10	17	"Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh."
7	10	18	"And the people [and] princes of Gilead said one to another, What man [is he] that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
7	11	1	"Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah."
7	11	2	"And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou [art] the son of a strange woman."
7	11	3	"Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him."
7	11	4	"And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel."
7	11	5	"And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:"
7	11	6	"And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon."
7	11	7	"And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?"
7	11	8	"And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
7	11	9	"And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?"
7	11	10	"And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words."
7	11	11	"Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh."
7	11	12	"And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?"
7	11	13	"And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably."
7	11	14	And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
7	11	15	"And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:"
7	11	16	"But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;"
7	11	17	"Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken [thereto]. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not [consent]: and Israel abode in Kadesh."
7	11	18	"Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon [was] the border of Moab."
7	11	19	"And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place."
7	11	20	"But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel."
7	11	21	"And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country."
7	11	22	"And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan."
7	11	23	"So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?"
7	11	24	"Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess."
7	11	25	"And now [art] thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,"
7	11	26	"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 hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover [them] within that time?"
7	11	27	"Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon."
7	11	28	Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
7	11	29	"Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the children of Ammon."
7	11	30	"And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,"
7	11	31	"Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
7	11	32	So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
7	11	33	"And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel."
7	11	34	"And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter."
7	11	35	"And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back."
7	11	36	"And she said unto him, My father, [if] thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon."
7	11	37	"And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows."
7	11	38	"And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains."
7	11	39	"And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her [according] to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,"
7	11	40	[That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
7	12	1	"And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire."
7	12	2	"And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands."
7	12	3	"And when I saw that ye delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?"
7	12	4	"Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites."
7	12	5	"And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;"
7	12	6	"Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."
7	12	7	"And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead."
7	12	8	And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
7	12	9	"And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years."
7	12	10	"Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem."
7	12	11	"And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years."
7	12	12	"And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun."
7	12	13	"And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel."
7	12	14	"And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years."
7	12	15	"And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites."
7	13	1	And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
7	13	2	"And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bare not."
7	13	3	"And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son."
7	13	4	"Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing]:"
7	13	5	"For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
7	13	6	"Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither told he me his name:"
7	13	7	"But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean [thing]: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death."
7	13	8	"Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born."
7	13	9	And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband [was] not with her.
7	13	10	"And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day."
7	13	11	"And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, [Art] thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I [am]."
7	13	12	"And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?"
7	13	13	"And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware."
7	13	14	"She may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean [thing]: all that I commanded her let her observe."
7	13	15	"And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee."
7	13	16	"And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD."
7	13	17	"And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?"
7	13	18	"And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?"
7	13	19	"So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered [it] upon a rock unto the LORD: and [the angel] did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on."
7	13	20	"For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to the ground."
7	13	21	But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
7	13	22	"And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God."
7	13	23	"But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these [things], nor would as at this time have told us [such things] as these."
7	13	24	"And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him."
7	13	25	And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
7	14	1	"And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines."
7	14	2	"And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife."
7	14	3	"Then his father and his mother said unto him, [Is there] never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well."
7	14	4	"But his father and his mother knew not that it [was] of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel."
7	14	5	"Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him."
7	14	6	"And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and [he had] nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."
7	14	7	"And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well."
7	14	8	"And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, [there was] a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion."
7	14	9	"And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion."
7	14	10	So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
7	14	11	"And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him."
7	14	12	"And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:"
7	14	13	"But if ye cannot declare [it] me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it."
7	14	14	"And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle."
7	14	15	"And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? [is it] not [so]?"
7	14	16	"And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told [it] me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told [it] my father nor my mother, and shall I tell [it] thee?"
7	14	17	"And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people."
7	14	18	"And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle."
7	14	19	"And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house."
7	14	20	"But Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend."
7	15	1	"But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in."
7	15	2	"And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her."
7	15	3	"And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure."
7	15	4	"And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails."
7	15	5	"And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives."
7	15	6	"Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire."
7	15	7	"And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease."
7	15	8	And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
7	15	9	"Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi."
7	15	10	"And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us."
7	15	11	"Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them."
7	15	12	"And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves."
7	15	13	"And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock."
7	15	14	"[And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands."
7	15	15	"And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith."
7	15	16	"And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men."
7	15	17	"And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi."
7	15	18	"And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
7	15	19	"But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day."
7	15	20	And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
7	16	1	"Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her."
7	16	2	"[And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed [him] in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him."
7	16	3	"And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that [is] before Hebron."
7	16	4	"And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah."
7	16	5	"And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver."
7	16	6	"And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee."
7	16	7	"And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
7	16	8	"Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them."
7	16	9	"Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known."
7	16	10	"And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound."
7	16	11	"And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
7	16	12	"Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread."
7	16	13	"And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web."
7	16	14	"And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web."
7	16	15	"And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength [lieth]."
7	16	16	"And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death;"
7	16	17	"That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man."
7	16	18	"And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand."
7	16	19	"And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him."
7	16	20	"And she said, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him."
7	16	21	"But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house."
7	16	22	Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
7	16	23	"Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
7	16	24	"And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us."
7	16	25	"And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars."
7	16	26	"And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them."
7	16	27	"Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport."
7	16	28	"And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
7	16	29	"And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left."
7	16	30	"And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life."
7	16	31	"Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years."
7	17	1	"And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah."
7	17	2	"And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be thou] of the LORD, my son."
7	17	3	"And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee."
7	17	4	"Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah."
7	17	5	"And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest."
7	17	6	"In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes."
7	17	7	"And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there."
7	17	8	"And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed."
7	17	9	"And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I [am] a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place]."
7	17	10	"And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in."
7	17	11	And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
7	17	12	"And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah."
7	17	13	"Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest."
7	18	1	In those days [there was] no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day [all their] inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
7	18	2	"And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there."
7	18	3	"When they [were] by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this [place]? and what hast thou here?"
7	18	4	"And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest."
7	18	5	"And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
7	18	6	"And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD [is] your way wherein ye go."
7	18	7	"Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that [were] therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and [there was] no magistrate in the land, that might put [them] to shame in [any] thing; and they [were] far from the Zidonians, and had no business with [any] man."
7	18	8	"And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What [say] ye?"
7	18	9	"And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it [is] very good: and [are] ye still? be not slothful to go, [and] to enter to possess the land."
7	18	10	"When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where [there is] no want of any thing that [is] in the earth."
7	18	11	"And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war."
7	18	12	"And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, [it is] behind Kirjathjearim."
7	18	13	"And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah."
7	18	14	"Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do."
7	18	15	"And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, [even] unto the house of Micah, and saluted him."
7	18	16	"And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which [were] of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate."
7	18	17	"And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, [and] came in thither, [and] took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men [that were] appointed with weapons of war."
7	18	18	"And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?"
7	18	19	"And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is it] better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?"
7	18	20	"And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people."
7	18	21	"So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them."
7	18	22	"[And] when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that [were] in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan."
7	18	23	"And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?"
7	18	24	"And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what [is] this [that] ye say unto me, What aileth thee?"
7	18	25	"And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household."
7	18	26	"And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they [were] too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house."
7	18	27	"And they took [the things] which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people [that were] at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire."
7	18	28	"And [there was] no deliverer, because it [was] far from Zidon, and they had no business with [any] man; and it was in the valley that [lieth] by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein."
7	18	29	"And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city [was] Laish at the first."
7	18	30	"And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land."
7	18	31	"And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh."
7	19	1	"And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah."
7	19	2	"And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months."
7	19	3	"And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, [and] to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him."
7	19	4	"And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there."
7	19	5	"And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way."
7	19	6	"And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry."
7	19	7	"And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again."
7	19	8	"And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them."
7	19	9	"And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home."
7	19	10	"But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which [is] Jerusalem; and [there were] with him two asses saddled, his concubine also [was] with him."
7	19	11	"[And] when they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it."
7	19	12	"And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that [is] not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah."
7	19	13	"And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah."
7	19	14	"And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which [belongeth] to Benjamin."
7	19	15	"And they turned aside thither, to go in [and] to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for [there was] no man that took them into his house to lodging."
7	19	16	"And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which [was] also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place [were] Benjamites."
7	19	17	"And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?"
7	19	18	"And he said unto him, We [are] passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence [am] I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I [am now] going to the house of the LORD; and there [is] no man that receiveth me to house."
7	19	19	"Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man [which is] with thy servants: [there is] no want of any thing."
7	19	20	"And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; howsoever [let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street."
7	19	21	"So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink."
7	19	22	"[Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, [and] beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him."
7	19	23	"And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, [nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly."
7	19	24	"Behold, [here is] my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing."
7	19	25	"But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go."
7	19	26	"Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord [was], till it was light."
7	19	27	"And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down [at] the door of the house, and her hands [were] upon the threshold."
7	19	28	"And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her [up] upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place."
7	19	29	"And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, [together] with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel."
7	19	30	"And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak [your minds]."
7	20	1	"Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh."
7	20	2	"And the chief of all the people, [even] of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword."
7	20	3	"(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?"
7	20	4	"And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongeth] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge."
7	20	5	"And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead."
7	20	6	"And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel."
7	20	7	"Behold, ye [are] all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel."
7	20	8	"And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any [of us] go to his tent, neither will we any [of us] turn into his house."
7	20	9	But now this [shall be] the thing which we will do to Gibeah; [we will go up] by lot against it;
7	20	10	"And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel."
7	20	11	"So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man."
7	20	12	"And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness [is] this that is done among you?"
7	20	13	"Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial, which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:"
7	20	14	"But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel."
7	20	15	"And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men."
7	20	16	"Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair [breadth], and not miss."
7	20	17	"And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these [were] men of war."
7	20	18	"And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first."
7	20	19	"And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah."
7	20	20	And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
7	20	21	"And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men."
7	20	22	"And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day."
7	20	23	"(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)"
7	20	24	And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
7	20	25	"And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword."
7	20	26	"Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD."
7	20	27	"And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those days,"
7	20	28	"And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand."
7	20	29	And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
7	20	30	"And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times."
7	20	31	"And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, [and] kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel."
7	20	32	"And the children of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways."
7	20	33	"And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, [even] out of the meadows of Gibeah."
7	20	34	"And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil [was] near them."
7	20	35	And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
7	20	36	"So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah."
7	20	37	"And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew [themselves] along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword."
7	20	38	"Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city."
7	20	39	"And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as [in] the first battle."
7	20	40	"But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven."
7	20	41	"And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them."
7	20	42	Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which [came] out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
7	20	43	"[Thus] they inclosed the Benjamites round about, [and] chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising."
7	20	44	And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these [were] men of valour.
7	20	45	"And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them."
7	20	46	So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men of valour.
7	20	47	"But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months."
7	20	48	"And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to."
7	21	1	"Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife."
7	21	2	"And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;"
7	21	3	"And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?"
7	21	4	"And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings."
7	21	5	"And the children of Israel said, Who [is there] among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death."
7	21	6	"And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day."
7	21	7	"How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?"
7	21	8	"And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly."
7	21	9	"For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were] none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there."
7	21	10	"And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children."
7	21	11	"And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man."
7	21	12	"And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan."
7	21	13	"And the whole congregation sent [some] to speak to the children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them."
7	21	14	And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
7	21	15	"And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel."
7	21	16	"Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"
7	21	17	"And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel."
7	21	18	"Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he that giveth a wife to Benjamin."
7	21	19	"Then they said, Behold, [there is] a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly [in a place] which [is] on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah."
7	21	20	"Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;"
7	21	21	"And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin."
7	21	22	"And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, [that] ye should be guilty."
7	21	23	"And the children of Benjamin did so, and took [them] wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them."
7	21	24	"And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance."
7	21	25	In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.

8	1	1	"Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons."
8	1	2	"And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there."
8	1	3	"And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons."
8	1	4	"And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one [was] Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years."
8	1	5	And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
8	1	6	"Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread."
8	1	7	"Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah."
8	1	8	"And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me."
8	1	9	"The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each [of you] in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept."
8	1	10	"And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people."
8	1	11	"And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?"
8	1	12	"Turn again, my daughters, go [your way]; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;"
8	1	13	"Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me."
8	1	14	"And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her."
8	1	15	"And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law."
8	1	16	"And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God:"
8	1	17	"Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part thee and me."
8	1	18	"When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her."
8	1	19	"So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi?"
8	1	20	"And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me."
8	1	21	"I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why [then] call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?"
8	1	22	"So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest."
8	2	1	"And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz."
8	2	2	"And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter."
8	2	3	"And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field [belonging] unto Boaz, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech."
8	2	4	"And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee."
8	2	5	"Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel [is] this?"
8	2	6	"And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It [is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:"
8	2	7	"And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house."
8	2	8	"Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:"
8	2	9	"[Let] thine eyes [be] on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of [that] which the young men have drawn."
8	2	10	"Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?"
8	2	11	"And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore."
8	2	12	"The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust."
8	2	13	"Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens."
8	2	14	"And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched [corn], and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left."
8	2	15	"And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:"
8	2	16	"And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave [them], that she may glean [them], and rebuke her not."
8	2	17	"So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley."
8	2	18	"And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed."
8	2	19	"And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day [is] Boaz."
8	2	20	"And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed [be] he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man [is] near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen."
8	2	21	"And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest."
8	2	22	"And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, [It is] good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field."
8	2	23	So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
8	3	1	"Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?"
8	3	2	"And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor."
8	3	3	"Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: [but] make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking."
8	3	4	"And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do."
8	3	5	"And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do."
8	3	6	"And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her."
8	3	7	"And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down."
8	3	8	"And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet."
8	3	9	"And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou [art] a near kinsman."
8	3	10	"And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter: [for] thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich."
8	3	11	"And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou [art] a virtuous woman."
8	3	12	And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
8	3	13	"Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that] if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, [as] the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning."
8	3	14	"And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor."
8	3	15	"Also he said, Bring the vail that [thou hast] upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of barley, and laid [it] on her: and she went into the city."
8	3	16	"And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who [art] thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her."
8	3	17	"And she said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law."
8	3	18	"Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day."
8	4	1	"Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down."
8	4	2	"And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down."
8	4	3	"And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which [was] our brother Elimelech's:"
8	4	4	"And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it], redeem [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem [it, then] tell me, that I may know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] beside thee; and I [am] after thee. And he said, I will redeem [it]."
8	4	5	"Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance."
8	4	6	"And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem [it]."
8	4	7	"Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbour: and this [was] a testimony in Israel."
8	4	8	"Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] for thee. So he drew off his shoe."
8	4	9	"And Boaz said unto the elders, and [unto] all the people, Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi."
8	4	10	"Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye [are] witnesses this day."
8	4	11	"And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:"
8	4	12	"And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman."
8	4	13	"So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son."
8	4	14	"And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel."
8	4	15	"And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him."
8	4	16	"And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it."
8	4	17	"And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David."
8	4	18	"Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,"
8	4	19	"And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,"
8	4	20	"And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,"
8	4	21	"And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,"
8	4	22	"And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David."

9	1	1	"Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:"
9	1	2	"And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children."
9	1	3	"And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there."
9	1	4	"And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:"
9	1	5	But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
9	1	6	"And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb."
9	1	7	"And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat."
9	1	8	"Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I better to thee than ten sons?"
9	1	9	"So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD."
9	1	10	"And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore."
9	1	11	"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."
9	1	12	"And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth."
9	1	13	"Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken."
9	1	14	"And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee."
9	1	15	"And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD."
9	1	16	Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
9	1	17	"Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him."
9	1	18	"And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad]."
9	1	19	"And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her."
9	1	20	"Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD."
9	1	21	"And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow."
9	1	22	"But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever."
9	1	23	"And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him."
9	1	24	"And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was] young."
9	1	25	"And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli."
9	1	26	"And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD."
9	1	27	For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
9	1	28	Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
9	2	1	"And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation."
9	2	2	[There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.
9	2	3	"Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."
9	2	4	"The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength."
9	2	5	[They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
9	2	6	"The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up."
9	2	7	"The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up."
9	2	8	"He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them."
9	2	9	"He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail."
9	2	10	"The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
9	2	11	And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
9	2	12	Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
9	2	13	"And the priests' custom with the people [was, that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;"
9	2	14	"And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither."
9	2	15	"Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw."
9	2	16	"And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force."
9	2	17	Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
9	2	18	"But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod."
9	2	19	"Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice."
9	2	20	"And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home."
9	2	21	"And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD."
9	2	22	"Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
9	2	23	"And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people."
9	2	24	"Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD'S people to transgress."
9	2	25	"If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them."
9	2	26	"And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men."
9	2	27	"And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?"
9	2	28	"And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?"
9	2	29	"Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?"
9	2	30	"Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."
9	2	31	"Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house."
9	2	32	"And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever."
9	2	33	"And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age."
9	2	34	"And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them."
9	2	35	"And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever."
9	2	36	"And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread."
9	3	1	And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there was] no open vision.
9	3	2	"And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he could not see;"
9	3	3	"And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God [was], and Samuel was laid down [to sleep];"
9	3	4	"That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here [am] I."
9	3	5	"And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down."
9	3	6	"And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again."
9	3	7	"Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him."
9	3	8	"And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child."
9	3	9	"Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place."
9	3	10	"And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth."
9	3	11	"And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle."
9	3	12	"In that day I will perform against Eli all [things] which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end."
9	3	13	"For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not."
9	3	14	"And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever."
9	3	15	"And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision."
9	3	16	"Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here [am] I."
9	3	17	"And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee."
9	3	18	"And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good."
9	3	19	"And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground."
9	3	20	And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.
9	3	21	And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
9	4	1	"And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek."
9	4	2	"And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men."
9	4	3	"And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies."
9	4	4	"So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth [between] the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God."
9	4	5	"And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again."
9	4	6	"And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp."
9	4	7	"And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore."
9	4	8	Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9	4	9	"Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight."
9	4	10	"And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen."
9	4	11	"And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain."
9	4	12	"And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head."
9	4	13	"And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told [it], all the city cried out."
9	4	14	"And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli."
9	4	15	"Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see."
9	4	16	"And the man said unto Eli, I [am] he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?"
9	4	17	"And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken."
9	4	18	"And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
9	4	19	"And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, [near] to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her."
9	4	20	"And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard [it]."
9	4	21	"And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband."
9	4	22	"And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken."
9	5	1	"And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod."
9	5	2	"When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon."
9	5	3	"And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again."
9	5	4	"And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him."
9	5	5	"Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day."
9	5	6	"But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and the coasts thereof."
9	5	7	"And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god."
9	5	8	"They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither]."
9	5	9	"And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts."
9	5	10	"Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people."
9	5	11	"So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there."
9	5	12	And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
9	6	1	And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
9	6	2	"And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place."
9	6	3	"And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you."
9	6	4	"Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords."
9	6	5	"Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land."
9	6	6	"Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?"
9	6	7	"Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:"
9	6	8	"And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go."
9	6	9	"And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us: it [was] a chance [that] happened to us."
9	6	10	"And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:"
9	6	11	"And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods."
9	6	12	"And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh."
9	6	13	"And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it]."
9	6	14	"And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD."
9	6	15	"And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD."
9	6	16	"And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day."
9	6	17	"And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;"
9	6	18	"And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite."
9	6	19	"And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter."
9	6	20	"And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?"
9	6	21	"And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you."
9	7	1	"And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD."
9	7	2	"And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."
9	7	3	"And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."
9	7	4	"Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only."
9	7	5	"And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD."
9	7	6	"And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh."
9	7	7	"And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines."
9	7	8	"And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."
9	7	9	"And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him."
9	7	10	"And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel."
9	7	11	"And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar."
9	7	12	"Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."
9	7	13	"So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel."
9	7	14	"And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites."
9	7	15	And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
9	7	16	"And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places."
9	7	17	And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
9	8	1	"And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel."
9	8	2	"Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba."
9	8	3	"And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment."
9	8	4	"Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,"
9	8	5	"And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
9	8	6	"But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD."
9	8	7	"And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them."
9	8	8	"According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee."
9	8	9	"Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them."
9	8	10	And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
9	8	11	"And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots."
9	8	12	"And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots."
9	8	13	"And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers."
9	8	14	"And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants."
9	8	15	"And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants."
9	8	16	"And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work."
9	8	17	He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
9	8	18	And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
9	8	19	"Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;"
9	8	20	"That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."
9	8	21	"And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD."
9	8	22	"And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city."
9	9	1	"Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power."
9	9	2	"And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than any of the people."
9	9	3	"And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses."
9	9	4	"And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and [there they were] not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found [them] not."
9	9	5	"[And] when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave [caring] for the asses, and take thought for us."
9	9	6	"And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go."
9	9	7	"Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, [if] we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and [there is] not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?"
9	9	8	"And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: [that] will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way."
9	9	9	"(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for [he that is] now [called] a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"
9	9	10	"Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God [was]."
9	9	11	"[And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?"
9	9	12	"And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he is] before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for [there is] a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:"
9	9	13	"As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him."
9	9	14	"And they went up into the city: [and] when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place."
9	9	15	"Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,"
9	9	16	"To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me."
9	9	17	"And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people."
9	9	18	"Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is]."
9	9	19	"And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I [am] the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that [is] in thine heart."
9	9	20	"And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is] all the desire of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on all thy father's house?"
9	9	21	"And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?"
9	9	22	"And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons."
9	9	23	"And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee."
9	9	24	"And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which [was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said, Behold that which is left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day."
9	9	25	"And when they were come down from the high place into the city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house."
9	9	26	"And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad."
9	9	27	"[And] as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God."
9	10	1	"Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?"
9	10	2	"When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?"
9	10	3	"Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:"
9	10	4	"And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves] of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands."
9	10	5	"After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is] the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:"
9	10	6	"And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man."
9	10	7	"And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee."
9	10	8	"And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do."
9	10	9	"And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day."
9	10	10	"And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them."
9	10	11	"And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets?"
9	10	12	"And one of the same place answered and said, But who [is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?"
9	10	13	"And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place."
9	10	14	"And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that [they were] no where, we came to Samuel."
9	10	15	"And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you."
9	10	16	"And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not."
9	10	17	And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
9	10	18	"And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you:"
9	10	19	"And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
9	10	20	"And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken."
9	10	21	"When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found."
9	10	22	"Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff."
9	10	23	"And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward."
9	10	24	"And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king."
9	10	25	"Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house."
9	10	26	"And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched."
9	10	27	"But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace."
9	11	1	"Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee."
9	11	2	"And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel."
9	11	3	"And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if [there be] no man to save us, we will come out to thee."
9	11	4	"Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept."
9	11	5	"And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh."
9	11	6	"And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly."
9	11	7	"And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent."
9	11	8	"And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand."
9	11	9	"And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time] the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed [it] to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad."
9	11	10	"Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you."
9	11	11	"And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together."
9	11	12	"And the people said unto Samuel, Who [is] he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death."
9	11	13	"And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel."
9	11	14	"Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
9	11	15	And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
9	12	1	"And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you."
9	12	2	"And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day."
9	12	3	"Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you."
9	12	4	"And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand."
9	12	5	"And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness."
9	12	6	"And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt."
9	12	7	"Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers."
9	12	8	"When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place."
9	12	9	"And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them."
9	12	10	"And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee."
9	12	11	"And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe."
9	12	12	"And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God [was] your king."
9	12	13	"Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, [and] whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you."
9	12	14	"If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:"
9	12	15	"But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as [it was] against your fathers."
9	12	16	"Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes."
9	12	17	"[Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king."
9	12	18	So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
9	12	19	"And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king."
9	12	20	"And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;"
9	12	21	"And turn ye not aside: for [then should ye go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain."
9	12	22	For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
9	12	23	"Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:"
9	12	24	"Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great [things] he hath done for you."
9	12	25	"But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king."
9	13	1	"Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,"
9	13	2	"Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [whereof] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent."
9	13	3	"And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear."
9	13	4	"And all Israel heard say [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal."
9	13	5	"And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven."
9	13	6	"When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits."
9	13	7	"And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling."
9	13	8	"And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him."
9	13	9	"And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering."
9	13	10	"And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him."
9	13	11	"And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;"
9	13	12	"Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering."
9	13	13	"And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever."
9	13	14	"But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee."
9	13	15	"And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men."
9	13	16	"And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash."
9	13	17	"And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way [that leadeth to] Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:"
9	13	18	And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron: and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
9	13	19	"Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears:"
9	13	20	"But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock."
9	13	21	"Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads."
9	13	22	"So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found."
9	13	23	And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
9	14	1	"Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that [is] on the other side. But he told not his father."
9	14	2	And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men;
9	14	3	"And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone."
9	14	4	"And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh."
9	14	5	"The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah."
9	14	6	"And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few."
9	14	7	"And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart."
9	14	8	"Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto [these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them."
9	14	9	"If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them."
9	14	10	"But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this [shall be] a sign unto us."
9	14	11	"And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves."
9	14	12	"And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel."
9	14	13	"And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him."
9	14	14	"And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow]."
9	14	15	"And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling."
9	14	16	"And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another]."
9	14	17	"Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not [there]."
9	14	18	"And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel."
9	14	19	"And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand."
9	14	20	"And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture."
9	14	21	"Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan."
9	14	22	"Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle."
9	14	23	So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.
9	14	24	"And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food."
9	14	25	And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
9	14	26	"And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath."
9	14	27	"But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened."
9	14	28	"Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint."
9	14	29	"Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey."
9	14	30	"How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?"
9	14	31	And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
9	14	32	"And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did eat [them] with the blood."
9	14	33	"Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day."
9	14	34	"And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there."
9	14	35	And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
9	14	36	"And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God."
9	14	37	"And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day."
9	14	38	"And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day."
9	14	39	"For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him."
9	14	40	"Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee."
9	14	41	"Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped."
9	14	42	"And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken."
9	14	43	"Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and], lo, I must die."
9	14	44	"And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan."
9	14	45	"And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: [as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."
9	14	46	Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
9	14	47	"So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them]."
9	14	48	"And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them."
9	14	49	"Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:"
9	14	50	"And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle."
9	14	51	And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.
9	14	52	"And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him."
9	15	1	"Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD."
9	15	2	"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt."
9	15	3	"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
9	15	4	"And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah."
9	15	5	"And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley."
9	15	6	"And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites."
9	15	7	"And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt."
9	15	8	"And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword."
9	15	9	"But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly."
9	15	10	"Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,"
9	15	11	"It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night."
9	15	12	"And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal."
9	15	13	"And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD."
9	15	14	"And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"
9	15	15	"And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."
9	15	16	"Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on."
9	15	17	"And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?"
9	15	18	"And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed."
9	15	19	"Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?"
9	15	20	"And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites."
9	15	21	"But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal."
9	15	22	"And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams."
9	15	23	"For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king."
9	15	24	"And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice."
9	15	25	"Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD."
9	15	26	"And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel."
9	15	27	"And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent."
9	15	28	"And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou."
9	15	29	"And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent."
9	15	30	"Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God."
9	15	31	So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
9	15	32	"Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past."
9	15	33	"And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal."
9	15	34	Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
9	15	35	And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
9	16	1	"And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons."
9	16	2	"And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear [it], he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD."
9	16	3	"And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me [him] whom I name unto thee."
9	16	4	"And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?"
9	16	5	"And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice."
9	16	6	"And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed [is] before him."
9	16	7	"But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
9	16	8	"Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this."
9	16	9	"Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this."
9	16	10	"Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these."
9	16	11	"And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither."
9	16	12	"And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy, [and] withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he."
9	16	13	"Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."
9	16	14	"But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him."
9	16	15	"And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee."
9	16	16	"Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are] before thee, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well."
9	16	17	"And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring [him] to me."
9	16	18	"Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, [that is] cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD [is] with him."
9	16	19	"Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which [is] with the sheep."
9	16	20	"And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son unto Saul."
9	16	21	"And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer."
9	16	22	"And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight."
9	16	23	"And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him."
9	17	1	"Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which [belongeth] to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim."
9	17	2	"And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines."
9	17	3	"And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and [there was] a valley between them."
9	17	4	"And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] six cubits and a span."
9	17	5	"And [he had] an helmet of brass upon his head, and he [was] armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat [was] five thousand shekels of brass."
9	17	6	"And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders."
9	17	7	And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
9	17	8	"And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me."
9	17	9	"If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us."
9	17	10	"And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."
9	17	11	"When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid."
9	17	12	"Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul."
9	17	13	"And the three eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle [were] Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah."
9	17	14	And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
9	17	15	But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
9	17	16	"And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days."
9	17	17	"And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;"
9	17	18	"And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge."
9	17	19	"Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."
9	17	20	"And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle."
9	17	21	"For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army."
9	17	22	"And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren."
9	17	23	"And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard [them]."
9	17	24	"And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid."
9	17	25	"And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, [that] the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel."
9	17	26	"And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
9	17	27	"And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him."
9	17	28	"And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle."
9	17	29	"And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?"
9	17	30	"And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner."
9	17	31	"And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him."
9	17	32	"And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
9	17	33	"And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
9	17	34	"And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:"
9	17	35	"And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him."
9	17	36	"Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God."
9	17	37	"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee."
9	17	38	"And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail."
9	17	39	"And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off him."
9	17	40	"And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."
9	17	41	And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield [went] before him.
9	17	42	"And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance."
9	17	43	"And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods."
9	17	44	"And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field."
9	17	45	"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."
9	17	46	"This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel."
9	17	47	"And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands."
9	17	48	"And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."
9	17	49	"And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth."
9	17	50	"So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [there was] no sword in the hand of David."
9	17	51	"Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled."
9	17	52	"And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron."
9	17	53	"And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents."
9	17	54	"And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent."
9	17	55	"And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son [is] this youth? And Abner said, [As] thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."
9	17	56	"And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling [is]."
9	17	57	"And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand."
9	17	58	"And Saul said to him, Whose son [art] thou, [thou] young man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
9	18	1	"And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul."
9	18	2	"And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house."
9	18	3	"Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."
9	18	4	"And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle."
9	18	5	"And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants."
9	18	6	"And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick."
9	18	7	"And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."
9	18	8	"And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed [but] thousands: and [what] can he have more but the kingdom?"
9	18	9	And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
9	18	10	"And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and [there was] a javelin in Saul's hand."
9	18	11	"And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall [with it]. And David avoided out of his presence twice."
9	18	12	"And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul."
9	18	13	"Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people."
9	18	14	And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD [was] with him.
9	18	15	"Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him."
9	18	16	"But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them."
9	18	17	"And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him."
9	18	18	"And David said unto Saul, Who [am] I? and what [is] my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?"
9	18	19	"But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife."
9	18	20	"And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him."
9	18	21	"And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in [the one of] the twain."
9	18	22	"And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law."
9	18	23	"And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you [a] light [thing] to be a king's son in law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?"
9	18	24	"And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David."
9	18	25	"And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines."
9	18	26	"And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired."
9	18	27	"Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife."
9	18	28	"And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David, and [that] Michal Saul's daughter loved him."
9	18	29	And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
9	18	30	"Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, [that] David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by."
9	19	1	"And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David."
9	19	2	"But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:"
9	19	3	"And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee."
9	19	4	"And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good:"
9	19	5	"For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?"
9	19	6	"And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain."
9	19	7	"And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past."
9	19	8	"And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him."
9	19	9	"And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his] hand."
9	19	10	"And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night."
9	19	11	"Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain."
9	19	12	"So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped."
9	19	13	"And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth."
9	19	14	"And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick."
9	19	15	"And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him."
9	19	16	"And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster."
9	19	17	"And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?"
9	19	18	"So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth."
9	19	19	"And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah."
9	19	20	"And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied."
9	19	21	"And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also."
9	19	22	"Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah."
9	19	23	"And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah."
9	19	24	"And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?"
9	20	1	"And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?"
9	20	2	"And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not [so]."
9	20	3	"And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death."
9	20	4	"Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do [it] for thee."
9	20	5	"And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third [day] at even."
9	20	6	"If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked [leave] of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for [there is] a yearly sacrifice there for all the family."
9	20	7	"If he say thus, [It is] well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is determined by him."
9	20	8	"Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?"
9	20	9	"And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?"
9	20	10	"Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what [if] thy father answer thee roughly?"
9	20	11	"And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field."
9	20	12	"And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, [or] the third [day], and, behold, [if there be] good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;"
9	20	13	"The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father."
9	20	14	"And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:"
9	20	15	"But [also] thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth."
9	20	16	"So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies."
9	20	17	"And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul."
9	20	18	"Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow [is] the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty."
9	20	19	"And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was [in hand], and shalt remain by the stone Ezel."
9	20	20	"And I will shoot three arrows on the side [thereof], as though I shot at a mark."
9	20	21	"And, behold, I will send a lad, [saying], Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for [there is] peace to thee, and no hurt; [as] the LORD liveth."
9	20	22	"But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away."
9	20	23	"And [as touching] the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me for ever."
9	20	24	"So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat."
9	20	25	"And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, [even] upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty."
9	20	26	"Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely he [is] not clean."
9	20	27	"And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?"
9	20	28	"And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Bethlehem:"
9	20	29	"And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there]: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table."
9	20	30	"Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?"
9	20	31	"For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die."
9	20	32	"And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?"
9	20	33	And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
9	20	34	"So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame."
9	20	35	"And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him."
9	20	36	"And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. [And] as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him."
9	20	37	"And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, [Is] not the arrow beyond thee?"
9	20	38	"And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master."
9	20	39	But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
9	20	40	"And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry [them] to the city."
9	20	41	"[And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded."
9	20	42	"And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city."
9	21	1	"Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man with thee?"
9	21	2	"And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed [my] servants to such and such a place."
9	21	3	"Now therefore what is under thine hand? give [me] five [loaves of] bread in mine hand, or what there is present."
9	21	4	"And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women."
9	21	5	"And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel."
9	21	6	"So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away."
9	21	7	"Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul."
9	21	8	"And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
9	21	9	"And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take [it]: for [there is] no other save that here. And David said, [There is] none like that; give it me."
9	21	10	"And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath."
9	21	11	"And the servants of Achish said unto him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?"
9	21	12	"And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath."
9	21	13	"And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard."
9	21	14	"Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore [then] have ye brought him to me?"
9	21	15	"Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this [fellow] to play the mad man in my presence? shall this [fellow] come into my house?"
9	22	1	"David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], they went down thither to him."
9	22	2	"And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men."
9	22	3	"And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me."
9	22	4	And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
9	22	5	"And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth."
9	22	6	"When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were] standing about him;)"
9	22	7	"Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, [and] make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;"
9	22	8	"That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is] none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
9	22	9	"Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub."
9	22	10	"And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
9	22	11	"Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that [were] in Nob: and they came all of them to the king."
9	22	12	"And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I [am], my lord."
9	22	13	"And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
9	22	14	"Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who [is so] faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?"
9	22	15	"Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute [any] thing unto his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more."
9	22	16	"And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house."
9	22	17	"And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD."
9	22	18	"And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod."
9	22	19	"And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword."
9	22	20	"And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David."
9	22	21	And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.
9	22	22	"And David said unto Abiathar, I knew [it] that day, when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father's house."
9	22	23	"Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard."
9	23	1	"Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors."
9	23	2	"Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah."
9	23	3	"And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
9	23	4	"Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand."
9	23	5	"So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah."
9	23	6	"And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, [that] he came down [with] an ephod in his hand."
9	23	7	"And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars."
9	23	8	"And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men."
9	23	9	"And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod."
9	23	10	"Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake."
9	23	11	"Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down."
9	23	12	"Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver [thee] up."
9	23	13	"Then David and his men, [which were] about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth."
9	23	14	"And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand."
9	23	15	And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David [was] in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
9	23	16	"And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God."
9	23	17	"And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth."
9	23	18	"And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house."
9	23	19	"Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?"
9	23	20	"Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part [shall be] to deliver him into the king's hand."
9	23	21	"And Saul said, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me."
9	23	22	"Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there: for it is told me [that] he dealeth very subtilly."
9	23	23	"See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah."
9	23	24	"And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon."
9	23	25	"Saul also and his men went to seek [him]. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon."
9	23	26	"And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them."
9	23	27	"But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land."
9	23	28	"Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth."
9	23	29	"And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi."
9	24	1	"And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David [is] in the wilderness of Engedi."
9	24	2	"Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats."
9	24	3	"And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where [was] a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave."
9	24	4	"And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily."
9	24	5	"And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt."
9	24	6	"And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the LORD."
9	24	7	"So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on [his] way."
9	24	8	"David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself."
9	24	9	"And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?"
9	24	10	"Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and [some] bade [me] kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he [is] the LORD'S anointed."
9	24	11	"Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that [there is] neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it."
9	24	12	"The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee."
9	24	13	"As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee."
9	24	14	"After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea."
9	24	15	"The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand."
9	24	16	"And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept."
9	24	17	"And he said to David, Thou [art] more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil."
9	24	18	"And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not."
9	24	19	"For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day."
9	24	20	"And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand."
9	24	21	"Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house."
9	24	22	And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
9	25	1	"And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran."
9	25	2	"And [there was] a man in Maon, whose possessions [were] in Carmel; and the man [was] very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel."
9	25	3	"Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and [she was] a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man [was] churlish and evil in his doings; and he [was] of the house of Caleb."
9	25	4	And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
9	25	5	"And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:"
9	25	6	"And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine house, and peace [be] unto all that thou hast."
9	25	7	"And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel."
9	25	8	"Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David."
9	25	9	"And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased."
9	25	10	"And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master."
9	25	11	"Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] unto men, whom I know not whence they [be]?"
9	25	12	"So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings."
9	25	13	"And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff."
9	25	14	"But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them."
9	25	15	"But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:"
9	25	16	"They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep."
9	25	17	"Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to him."
9	25	18	"Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses."
9	25	19	"And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal."
9	25	20	"And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them."
9	25	21	"Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good."
9	25	22	"So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall."
9	25	23	"And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,"
9	25	24	"And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid."
9	25	25	"Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, [even] Nabal: for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send."
9	25	26	"Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal."
9	25	27	"And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord."
9	25	28	"I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee [all] thy days."
9	25	29	"Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, [as out] of the middle of a sling."
9	25	30	"And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;"
9	25	31	"That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid."
9	25	32	"And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:"
9	25	33	"And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand."
9	25	34	"For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall."
9	25	35	"So David received of her hand [that] which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person."
9	25	36	"And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart [was] merry within him, for he [was] very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light."
9	25	37	"But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone."
9	25	38	"And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died."
9	25	39	"And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife."
9	25	40	"And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife."
9	25	41	"And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the earth, and said, Behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
9	25	42	"And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife."
9	25	43	David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
9	25	44	"But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which [was] of Gallim."
9	26	1	"And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?"
9	26	2	"Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph."
9	26	3	"And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness."
9	26	4	"David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed."
9	26	5	"And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him."
9	26	6	"Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee."
9	26	7	"So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him."
9	26	8	"Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second time."
9	26	9	"And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?"
9	26	10	"David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish."
9	26	11	"The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that [is] at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go."
9	26	12	"So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them."
9	26	13	"Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:"
9	26	14	"And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who [art] thou [that] criest to the king?"
9	26	15	"And David said to Abner, [Art] not thou a [valiant] man? and who [is] like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord."
9	26	16	"This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster."
9	26	17	"And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king."
9	26	18	"And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?"
9	26	19	"Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods."
9	26	20	"Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains."
9	26	21	"Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
9	26	22	"And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it."
9	26	23	"The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed."
9	26	24	"And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation."
9	26	25	"Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place."
9	27	1	"And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand."
9	27	2	"And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that [were] with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath."
9	27	3	"And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, [even] David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife."
9	27	4	And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
9	27	5	"And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?"
9	27	6	Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
9	27	7	And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
9	27	8	"And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations were] of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt."
9	27	9	"And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish."
9	27	10	"And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites."
9	27	11	"And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring [tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so [will be] his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines."
9	27	12	"And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever."
9	28	1	"And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men."
9	28	2	"And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever."
9	28	3	"Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land."
9	28	4	"And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa."
9	28	5	"And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled."
9	28	6	"And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets."
9	28	7	"Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor."
9	28	8	"And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee."
9	28	9	"And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"
9	28	10	"And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, [As] the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing."
9	28	11	"Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel."
9	28	12	"And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou [art] Saul."
9	28	13	"And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth."
9	28	14	"And he said unto her, What form [is] he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he [is] covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it [was] Samuel, and he stooped with [his] face to the ground, and bowed himself."
9	28	15	"And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do."
9	28	16	"Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?"
9	28	17	"And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, [even] to David:"
9	28	18	"Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day."
9	28	19	Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow [shalt] thou and thy sons [be] with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
9	28	20	"Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night."
9	28	21	"And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me."
9	28	22	"Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way."
9	28	23	"But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed."
9	28	24	"And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded [it], and did bake unleavened bread thereof:"
9	28	25	"And she brought [it] before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night."
9	29	1	Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which [is] in Jezreel.
9	29	2	"And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish."
9	29	3	"Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell [unto me] unto this day?"
9	29	4	"And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? [should it] not [be] with the heads of these men?"
9	29	5	"[Is] not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?"
9	29	6	"Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, [as] the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not."
9	29	7	"Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines."
9	29	8	"And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
9	29	9	"And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou [art] good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle."
9	29	10	"Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart."
9	29	11	"So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel."
9	30	1	"And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;"
9	30	2	"And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way."
9	30	3	"So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives."
9	30	4	"Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep."
9	30	5	"And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite."
9	30	6	"And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God."
9	30	7	"And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David."
9	30	8	"And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all]."
9	30	9	"So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed."
9	30	10	"But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor."
9	30	11	"And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;"
9	30	12	"And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three days and three nights."
9	30	13	"And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick."
9	30	14	"We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
9	30	15	"And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company."
9	30	16	"And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah."
9	30	17	"And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled."
9	30	18	And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
9	30	19	"And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all."
9	30	20	"And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil."
9	30	21	"And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them."
9	30	22	"Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart."
9	30	23	"Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand."
9	30	24	"For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike."
9	30	25	"And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day."
9	30	26	"And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;"
9	30	27	"To [them] which [were] in Bethel, and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,"
9	30	28	"And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa,"
9	30	29	"And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Kenites,"
9	30	30	"And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them] which [were] in Chorashan, and to [them] which [were] in Athach,"
9	30	31	"And to [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt."
9	31	1	"Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa."
9	31	2	"And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons."
9	31	3	"And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers."
9	31	4	"Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it."
9	31	5	"And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him."
9	31	6	"So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together."
9	31	7	"And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them."
9	31	8	"And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa."
9	31	9	"And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among the people."
9	31	10	And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
9	31	11	And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
9	31	12	"All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there."
9	31	13	"And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
