And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
All these are the twelveH6240+H8147 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: and this is it that their fatherH1 spakeH1696 unto them, and blessedH1288 them; everyH834 oneH376 according to his blessingH1293 he blessedH1288 them.
And he chargedH6680 them, and saidH559 unto them, I am to be gatheredH622 unto my peopleH5971: buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850,
In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913.
There they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wifeH802; there they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802; and there I buriedH6912 LeahH3812.
The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.

And GodH430 rememberedH2142 RachelH7354, and GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to her, and openedH6605 her wombH7358.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and saidH559, GodH430 hath taken awayH622 my reproachH2781:
And she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JosephH3130; and saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall addH3254 to me anotherH312 sonH1121. {Joseph: that is, Adding}
And the nameH8034 of the secondH8145 calledH7121 he EphraimH669: For GodH430 hath caused me to be fruitfulH6509 in the landH776 of my afflictionH6040. {Ephraim: that is, Fruitful}
And the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130, which were bornH3205 him in EgyptH4714, were twoH8147 soulsH5315: all the soulsH5315 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, which cameH935 into EgyptH4714, were threescore and tenH7657.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that one toldH559 JosephH3130, Behold, thy fatherH1 is sickH2470: and he tookH3947 with him his twoH8147 sonsH1121, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669.
And now thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, which were bornH3205 unto thee in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 beforeH5704 I cameH935 unto thee into EgyptH4714, are mine; as ReubenH7205 and SimeonH8095, they shall be mine.
The AngelH4397 which redeemedH1350 me from all evilH7451, blessH1288 the ladsH5288; and let my nameH8034 be namedH7121 on them, and the nameH8034 of my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327; and let them growH1711 into a multitudeH7230 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. {grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessedH1288 them that dayH3117, sayingH559, In thee shall IsraelH3478 blessH1288, sayingH559, GodH430 makeH7760 thee as EphraimH669 and as ManassehH4519: and he setH7760 EphraimH669 beforeH6440 ManassehH4519.
Now the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 had a veryH3966 greatH6099 multitudeH7227 of cattleH4735: and when they sawH7200 the landH776 of JazerH3270, and the landH776 of GileadH1568, that, behold, the placeH4725 was a placeH4725 for cattleH4735;
The childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 cameH935 and spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, and to EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and unto the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712, sayingH559,
AtarothH5852, and DibonH1769, and JazerH3270, and NimrahH5247, and HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500, and ShebamH7643, and NeboH5015, and BeonH1194,
Even the countryH776 which the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, is a landH776 for cattleH4735, and thy servantsH5650 have cattleH4735:
Wherefore, saidH559 they, if we have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, let this landH776 be givenH5414 unto thy servantsH5650 for a possessionH272, and bring us not overH5674 JordanH3383.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and to the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, Shall your brethrenH251 goH935 to warH4421, and shall ye sitH3427 here?
And wherefore discourage yeH5106+H5106 the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from going overH5674 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 them? {discourage: Heb. break}
Thus didH6213 your fathersH1, when I sentH7971 them from KadeshbarneaH6947 to seeH7200 the landH776.
For when they went upH5927 unto the valleyH5158 of EshcolH812, and sawH7200 the landH776, they discouragedH5106 the heartH3820 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they should not goH935 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 had givenH5414 them.
And the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 was kindledH2734 the same timeH3117, and he swareH7650, sayingH559,
SurelyH518 none of the menH582 that came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, shall seeH7200 the landH127 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85, unto IsaacH3327, and unto JacobH3290; because they have not whollyH4390 followedH310 me: {wholly…: Heb. fulfilled after me}
Save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 the KeneziteH7074, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126: for they have whollyH4390 followedH310 the LORDH3068.
And the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478, and he made them wanderH5128 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until all the generationH1755, that had doneH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, was consumedH8552.
And, behold, ye are risen upH6965 in your fathers'H1 stead, an increaseH8635 of sinfulH2400 menH582, to augmentH5595 yet the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 toward IsraelH3478.
For if ye turn awayH7725 from afterH310 him, he will yet againH3254 leaveH3240 them in the wildernessH4057; and ye shall destroyH7843 all this peopleH5971.
And they came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, We will buildH1129 sheepfoldsH1448+H6629 here for our cattleH4735, and citiesH5892 for our little onesH2945:
But we ourselvesH587 will go readyH2363 armedH2502 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, until we have broughtH935 them unto their placeH4725: and our little onesH2945 shall dwellH3427 in the fencedH4013 citiesH5892 becauseH6440 of the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776.
We will not returnH7725 unto our housesH1004, until the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have inheritedH5157 every manH376 his inheritanceH5159.
For we will not inheritH5157 with them on yonder sideH5676 JordanH3383, or forwardH1973; because our inheritanceH5159 is fallenH935 to us on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If ye will doH6213 this thingH1697, if ye will go armedH2502 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to warH4421,
And will goH5674 all of you armedH2502 overH5674 JordanH3383 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, until he hath driven outH3423 his enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 him,
And the landH776 be subduedH3533 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: then afterwardH310 ye shall returnH7725, and be guiltlessH5355 before the LORDH3068, and before IsraelH3478; and this landH776 shall be your possessionH272 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
But if ye will not do soH6213, behold, ye have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068: and be sureH3045 your sinH2403 will find you outH4672.
BuildH1129 you citiesH5892 for your little onesH2945, and foldsH1448 for your sheepH6792; and doH6213 that which hath proceededH3318 out of your mouthH6310.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, Thy servantsH5650 will doH6213 as my lordH113 commandethH6680.
Our little onesH2945, our wivesH802, our flocksH4735, and all our cattleH929, shall be there in the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568:
But thy servantsH5650 will pass overH5674, every man armedH2502 for warH6635, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to battleH4421, as my lordH113 saithH1696.
So concerning them MosesH4872 commandedH6680 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 will pass with you overH5674 JordanH3383, every man armedH2502 to battleH4421, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the landH776 shall be subduedH3533 beforeH6440 you; then ye shall giveH5414 them the landH776 of GileadH1568 for a possessionH272:
But if they will not pass overH5674 with you armedH2502, they shall have possessionsH270 amongH8432 you in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 answeredH6030, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 unto thy servantsH5650, so will we doH6213.
We willH5168 pass overH5674 armedH2502 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667, that the possessionH272 of our inheritanceH5159 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 may be ours.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 unto them, even to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and unto halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of JosephH3130, the kingdomH4467 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, the landH776, with the citiesH5892 thereof in the coastsH1367, even the citiesH5892 of the countryH776 round aboutH5439.
And the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 builtH1129 DibonH1769, and AtarothH5852, and AroerH6177,
And Atroth, ShophanH5855, and JaazerH3270, and JogbehahH3011,
And BethnimrahH1039, and BethharanH1028, fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and foldsH1448 for sheepH6629.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 builtH1129 HeshbonH2809, and ElealehH500, and KirjathaimH7156,
And NeboH5015, and BaalmeonH1186, (their namesH8034 being changedH4142,) and ShibmahH7643: and gaveH7121 other namesH8034+H8034 unto the citiesH5892 which they buildedH1129. {gave…: Heb. they called by names the names of the cities}
And the childrenH1121 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 wentH3212 to GileadH1568, and tookH3920 it, and dispossessedH3423 the AmoriteH567 which was in it.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 GileadH1568 unto MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519; and he dweltH3427 therein.
And JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 wentH1980 and tookH3920 the small townsH2333 thereof, and calledH7121 them HavothjairH2334.
And NobahH5025 wentH1980 and tookH3920 KenathH7079, and the villagesH1323 thereof, and calledH7121 it NobahH5025, after his own nameH8034.
His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn}
And the lotH1486 of the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 fellH3318 from JordanH3383 by JerichoH3405, unto the waterH4325 of JerichoH3405 on the eastH4217, to the wildernessH4057 that goeth upH5927 from JerichoH3405 throughout mountH2022 BethelH1008, {fell: Heb. went forth}
And goeth outH3318 from BethelH1008 to LuzH3870, and passeth alongH5674 unto the bordersH1366 of ArchiH757 to AtarothH5852,
And goeth downH3381 westwardH3220 to the coastH1366 of JaphletiH3311, unto the coastH1366 of BethhoronH1032 the netherH8481, and to GezerH1507: and the goings outH8444 thereof are at the seaH3220.
So the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669, took their inheritanceH5157.
And the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 according to their familiesH4940 was thus: even the borderH1366 of their inheritanceH5159 on the east sideH4217 was AtarothaddarH5853, unto BethhoronH1032 the upperH5945;
And the borderH1366 went outH3318 toward the seaH3220 to MichmethahH4366 on the north sideH6828; and the borderH1366 went aboutH5437 eastwardH4217 unto TaanathshilohH8387, and passedH5674 by it on the eastH4217 to JanohahH3239;
And it went downH3381 from JanohahH3239 to AtarothH5852, and to NaarathH5292, and cameH6293 to JerichoH3405, and went outH3318 at JordanH3383.
The borderH1366 went outH3212 from TappuahH8599 westwardH3220 unto the riverH5158 KanahH7071; and the goings outH8444 thereof were at the seaH3220. This is the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 by their familiesH4940.
And the separateH3995 citiesH5892 for the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 were amongH8432 the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, all the citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
And they drave not outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in GezerH1507: but the CanaanitesH3669 dwellH3427 amongH7130 the EphraimitesH669 unto this dayH3117, and serveH5647 under tributeH4522.
And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 spakeH1696 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, Why hast thou givenH5414 me but oneH259 lotH1486 and oneH259 portionH2256 to inheritH5159, seeing I am a greatH7227 peopleH5971, forasmuch asH5704 the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 me hithertoH3541?
And JoshuaH3091 answeredH559 them, If thou be a greatH7227 peopleH5971, then get thee upH5927 to the woodH3293 country, and cut downH1254 for thyself there in the landH776 of the PerizzitesH6522 and of the giantsH7497, if mountH2022 EphraimH669 be too narrowH213 for thee. {giants: or, Rephaims}
And the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130 saidH559, The hillH2022 is not enoughH4672 for us: and all the CanaanitesH3669 that dwellH3427 in the landH776 of the valleyH6010 have chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, both they who are of BethsheanH1052 and her townsH1323, and they who are of the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559 unto the houseH1004 of JosephH3130, even to EphraimH669 and to ManassehH4519, sayingH559, Thou art a greatH7227 peopleH5971, and hast greatH1419 powerH3581: thou shalt not have oneH259 lotH1486 only:
BlessedH835 is the manH376 that walkethH1980 not in the counselH6098 of the ungodlyH7563, nor standethH5975 in the wayH1870 of sinnersH2400, nor sittethH3427 in the seatH4186 of the scornfulH3887. {ungodly: or, wicked}
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. BlessedH835 is every one that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068; that walkethH1980 in his waysH1870.
