Now in the twentyH6242 and fourthH702 dayH3117 of this monthH2320 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were assembledH622 with fastingH6685, and with sackclothesH8242, and earthH127 upon them.
And the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 separatedH914 themselves from all strangersH1121+H5236, and stoodH5975 and confessedH3034 their sinsH2403, and the iniquitiesH5771 of their fathersH1. {strangers: Heb. strange children}
And they stood upH6965 in their placeH5977, and readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 their GodH430 one fourth partH7243 of the dayH3117; and another fourth partH7243 they confessedH3034, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 their GodH430.
Then stood upH6965 upon the stairsH4608, of the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, KadmielH6934, ShebaniahH7645, BunniH1138, SherebiahH8274, BaniH1137, and ChenaniH3662, and criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430. {stairs: or, scaffold}
Then the LevitesH3881, JeshuaH3442, and KadmielH6934, BaniH1137, HashabniahH2813, SherebiahH8274, HodijahH1941, ShebaniahH7645, and PethahiahH6611, saidH559, Stand upH6965 and blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH5769 and everH5769: and blessedH1288 be thy gloriousH3519 nameH8034, which is exaltedH7311 above all blessingH1293 and praiseH8416.
Thou, even thou, art LORDH3068 alone; thou hast madeH6213 heavenH8064, the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064, with all their hostH6635, the earthH776, and all things that are therein, the seasH3220, and all that is therein, and thou preservestH2421 them all; and the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 worshippethH7812 thee.
Thou art the LORDH3068 the GodH430, who didst chooseH977 AbramH87, and broughtest him forthH3318 out of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, and gavestH7760 him the nameH8034 of AbrahamH85;
And foundestH4672 his heartH3824 faithfulH539 beforeH6440 thee, and madestH3772 a covenantH1285 with him to giveH5414 the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, the HittitesH2850, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the JebusitesH2983, and the GirgashitesH1622, to giveH5414 it, I say, to his seedH2233, and hast performedH6965 thy wordsH1697; for thou art righteousH6662:
And didst seeH7200 the afflictionH6040 of our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714, and heardestH8085 their cryH2201 by the RedH5488 seaH3220;
And shewedstH5414 signsH226 and wondersH4159 upon PharaohH6547, and on all his servantsH5650, and on all the peopleH5971 of his landH776: for thou knewestH3045 that they dealt proudlyH2102 against them. So didst thou getH6213 thee a nameH8034, as it is this dayH3117.
And thou didst divideH1234 the seaH3220 beforeH6440 them, so that they went throughH5674 the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 on the dry landH3004; and their persecutorsH7291 thou threwestH7993 into the deepsH4688, as a stoneH68 into the mightyH5794 watersH4325.
Moreover thou leddestH5148 them in the dayH3119 by a cloudyH6051 pillarH5982; and in the nightH3915 by a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215 in the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou camest downH3381 also upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and spakestH1696 with them from heavenH8064, and gavestH5414 them rightH3477 judgmentsH4941, and trueH571 lawsH8451, goodH2896 statutesH2706 and commandmentsH4687: {true…: Heb. laws of truth}
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
And gavestH5414 them breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for their hungerH7458, and broughtest forthH3318 waterH4325 for them out of the rockH5553 for their thirstH6772, and promisedstH559 them that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776 which thou hadst swornH3027+H5375 to giveH5414 them. {which…: Heb. which thou hadst lift up thine hand to give them}
But they and our fathersH1 dealt proudlyH2102, and hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and hearkenedH8085 not to thy commandmentsH4687,
And refusedH3985 to obeyH8085, neither were mindfulH2142 of thy wondersH6381 that thou didstH6213 among them; but hardenedH7185 their necksH6203, and in their rebellionH4805 appointedH5414 a captainH7218 to returnH7725 to their bondageH5659: but thou art a GodH433 ready to pardonH5547, graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and forsookestH5800 them not. {a God…: Heb. a God of pardons}
Yea, when they had madeH6213 them a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and saidH559, This is thy GodH430 that brought thee upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, and had wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007;
Yet thou in thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 forsookestH5800 them not in the wildernessH4057: the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 departedH5493 not from them by dayH3119, to leadH5148 them in the wayH1870; neither the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, to shew them lightH215, and the wayH1870 wherein they should goH3212.
Thou gavestH5414 also thy goodH2896 spiritH7307 to instructH7919 them, and withheldestH4513 not thy mannaH4478 from their mouthH6310, and gavestH5414 them waterH4325 for their thirstH6772.
Yea, fortyH705 yearsH8141 didst thou sustainH3557 them in the wildernessH4057, so that they lackedH2637 nothing; their clothesH8008 waxed not oldH1086, and their feetH7272 swelledH1216 not.
Moreover thou gavestH5414 them kingdomsH4467 and nationsH5971, and didst divideH2505 them into cornersH6285: so they possessedH3423 the landH776 of SihonH5511, and the landH776 of the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and the landH776 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316.
Their childrenH1121 also multipliedstH7235 thou as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and broughtestH935 them into the landH776, concerning which thou hadst promisedH559 to their fathersH1, that they should go inH935 to possessH3423 it.
So the childrenH1121 went inH935 and possessedH3423 the landH776, and thou subduedstH3665 beforeH6440 them the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, the CanaanitesH3669, and gavestH5414 them into their handsH3027, with their kingsH4428, and the peopleH5971 of the landH776, that they might doH6213 with them as they wouldH7522. {as they…: Heb. according to their will}
And they tookH3920 strongH1219 citiesH5892, and a fatH8082 landH127, and possessedH3423 housesH1004 fullH4392 of all goodsH2898, wellsH953 diggedH2672, vineyardsH3754, and oliveyardsH2132, and fruitH3978 treesH6086 in abundanceH7230: so they did eatH398, and were filledH7646, and became fatH8080, and delightedH5727 themselves in thy greatH1419 goodnessH2898. {wells: or, cisterns} {fruit…: Heb. tree of food}
Nevertheless they were disobedientH4784, and rebelledH4775 against thee, and castH7993 thy lawH8451 behindH310 their backsH1458, and slewH2026 thy prophetsH5030 which testifiedH5749 against them to turnH7725 them to thee, and they wroughtH6213 greatH1419 provocationsH5007.
Therefore thou deliveredstH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862, who vexedH6887 them: and in the timeH6256 of their troubleH6869, when they criedH6817 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and according to thy manifoldH7227 merciesH7356 thou gavestH5414 them savioursH3467, who savedH3467 them out of the handH3027 of their enemiesH6862.
But after they had restH5117, they didH6213 evilH7451 againH7725 beforeH6440 thee: therefore leftestH5800 thou them in the handH3027 of their enemiesH341, so that they had the dominionH7287 over them: yet when they returnedH7725, and criedH2199 unto thee, thou heardestH8085 them from heavenH8064; and manyH7227 timesH6256 didst thou deliverH5337 them according to thy merciesH7356; {they did…: Heb. they returned to do evil}
And testifiedstH5749 against them, that thou mightest bring them againH7725 unto thy lawH8451: yet they dealt proudlyH2102, and hearkenedH8085 not unto thy commandmentsH4687, but sinnedH2398 against thy judgmentsH4941, (which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall liveH2421 in them;) and withdrewH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and hardenedH7185 their neckH6203, and would not hearH8085. {withdrew…: Heb. they gave a withdrawing shoulder}
Yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 didst thou forbearH4900 them, and testifiedstH5749 against them by thy spiritH7307 inH3027 thy prophetsH5030: yet would they not give earH238: therefore gavestH5414 thou them into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776. {forbear…: Heb. protract over them} {in thy…: Heb. in the hand of thy prophets}
Nevertheless for thy greatH7227 mercies'H7356 sake thou didstH6213 not utterly consumeH3617 them, nor forsakeH5800 them; for thou art a graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349 GodH410.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}
Howbeit thou art justH6662 in all that is broughtH935 upon us; for thou hast doneH6213 rightH571, but we have done wickedlyH7561:
Neither have our kingsH4428, our princesH8269, our priestsH3548, nor our fathersH1, keptH6213 thy lawH8451, nor hearkenedH7181 unto thy commandmentsH4687 and thy testimoniesH5715, wherewith thou didst testifyH5749 against them.
For they have not servedH5647 thee in their kingdomH4438, and in thy greatH7227 goodnessH2898 that thou gavestH5414 them, and in the largeH7342 and fatH8082 landH776 which thou gavestH5414 beforeH6440 them, neither turnedH7725 they from their wickedH7451 worksH4611.
Behold, we are servantsH5650 this dayH3117, and for the landH776 that thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1 to eatH398 the fruitH6529 thereof and the goodH2898 thereof, behold, we are servantsH5650 in it:
And it yieldeth muchH7235 increaseH8393 unto the kingsH4428 whom thou hast setH5414 over us because of our sinsH2403: also they have dominionH4910 over our bodiesH1472, and over our cattleH929, at their pleasureH7522, and we are in greatH1419 distressH6869.
And because of all this we makeH3772 a sureH548 covenant, and writeH3789 it; and our princesH8269, LevitesH3881, and priestsH3548, sealH2856 unto it. {seal: Heb. are at the sealing, or, sealed}

And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and were in the going downH4174 to BethhoronH1032, that the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH7227 which diedH4191 with hailstonesH1259+H68 than they whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
I saidH559, I would scatter them into cornersH6284, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582:
And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559,
Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of the wellH875: but we will go alongH3212 by the king'sH4428 high wayH1870, until we be pastH5674 thy bordersH1366.
And SihonH5511 would not sufferH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057: and he cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 unto JabbokH2999, even unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794.
And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all the villagesH1323 thereof. {villages: Heb. daughters}
For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto ArnonH769.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbsH4911 sayH559, ComeH935 into HeshbonH2809, let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and preparedH3559:
For there is a fireH784 gone outH3318 of HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the cityH7151 of SihonH5511: it hath consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, and the lords of the high placesH1181 of ArnonH769.
WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undoneH6, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: he hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 that escapedH6412, and his daughtersH1323, into captivityH7622 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.
We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769, and we have laid them wasteH8074 even unto NophahH5302, which reacheth unto MedebaH4311.
Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JaazerH3270, and they tookH3920 the villagesH1323 thereof, and drove outH3423+H3423 the AmoritesH567 that were there.
And they turnedH6437 and went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 went outH3318 againstH7125 them, he, and all his peopleH5971, to the battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, FearH3372 him not: for I have deliveredH5414 him into thy handH3027, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776; and thou shalt doH6213 to him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So they smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971, until there was noneH1115 leftH7604 him aliveH8300: and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 the whole landH776, according to all that the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872; and JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 it for an inheritanceH5159 unto IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribesH7626. And the landH776 restedH8252 from warH4421.
And I sentH7971 messengersH4397 out of the wildernessH4057 of KedemothH6932 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 with wordsH1697 of peaceH7965, sayingH559,
Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: I will goH3212 along by the high wayH1870+H1870, I will neither turnH5493 unto the right handH3225 nor to the leftH8040.
Thou shalt sellH7666 me meatH400 for moneyH3701, that I may eatH398; and giveH5414 me waterH4325 for moneyH3701, that I may drinkH8354: only I will pass throughH5674 on my feetH7272;
(As the childrenH1121 of EsauH6215 which dwellH3427 in SeirH8165, and the MoabitesH4125 which dwellH3427 in ArH6144, didH6213 unto me;) until I shall pass overH5674 JordanH3383 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 our GodH430 givethH5414 us.
But SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 wouldH14 not let us passH5674 by him: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hardenedH7185 his spiritH7307, and made his heartH3824 obstinateH553, that he might deliverH5414 him into thy handH3027, as appeareth this dayH3117.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, BeholdH7200, I have begunH2490 to giveH5414 SihonH5511 and his landH776 beforeH6440 thee: beginH2490 to possessH3423, that thou mayest inheritH3423 his landH776.
Then SihonH5511 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to fightH4421 at JahazH3096.
And the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 him beforeH6440 us; and we smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, and utterly destroyedH2763 the menH4962, and the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, of every cityH5892, we leftH7604 none to remainH8300: {the men…: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones}
Only the cattleH929 we took for a preyH962 unto ourselves, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892 which we tookH3920.
From AroerH6177, which is by the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158 of ArnonH769, and from the cityH5892 that is by the riverH5158, even unto GileadH1568, there was not one cityH7151 too strongH7682 for us: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 all unto usH6440:
And gaveH5414 them the landsH776 of the heathenH1471: and they inheritedH3423 the labourH5999 of the peopleH3816;
Then we turnedH6437, and went upH5927 the wayH1870 to BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, FearH3372 him not: for I will deliverH5414 him, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776, into thy handH3027; and thou shalt doH6213 unto him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 OgH5747 also, the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all his peopleH5971: and we smoteH5221 him until none was leftH7604 to him remainingH8300.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, there was not a cityH7151 which we tookH3947 not from them, threescoreH8346 citiesH5892, all the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316.
All these citiesH5892 were fencedH1219 with highH1364 wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280; beside unwalledH6521 townsH5892 a greatH3966 manyH7235.
And we utterly destroyedH2763 them, as we didH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, utterly destroyingH2763 the menH4962, womenH802, and childrenH2945, of every cityH5892.
But all the cattleH929, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892, we took for a preyH962 to ourselves.
And we tookH3947 at that timeH6256 outH3947 of the handH3027 of the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 the landH776 that was on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, from the riverH5158 of ArnonH769 unto mountH2022 HermonH2768;
(Which HermonH2768 the SidoniansH6722 callH7121 SirionH8303; and the AmoritesH567 callH7121 it ShenirH8149;)
All the citiesH5892 of the plainH4334, and all GileadH1568, and all BashanH1316, unto SalchahH5548 and EdreiH154, citiesH5892 of the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316.
For only OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316 remainedH7604 of the remnantH3499 of giantsH7497; behold, his bedsteadH6210 was a bedsteadH6210 of ironH1270; is it notH3808 in RabbathH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983? nineH8672 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 thereof, and fourH702 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 of it, after the cubitH520 of a manH376.
And this landH776, which we possessedH3423 at that timeH6256, from AroerH6177, which is by the riverH5158 ArnonH769, and halfH2677 mountH2022 GileadH1568, and the citiesH5892 thereof, gaveH5414 I unto the ReubenitesH7206 and to the GaditesH1425.
And the restH3499 of GileadH1568, and all BashanH1316, being the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747, gaveH5414 I unto the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519; all the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, with all BashanH1316, whichH1931 was calledH7121 the landH776 of giantsH7497.
JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 tookH3947 all the countryH2256 of ArgobH709 unto the coastsH1366 of GeshuriH1651 and MaachathiH4602; and calledH7121 them after his own nameH8034, BashanhavothjairH1316+H2334, unto this dayH3117.
And I gaveH5414 GileadH1568 unto MachirH4353.
And unto the ReubenitesH7206 and unto the GaditesH1425 I gaveH5414 from GileadH1568 even unto the riverH5158 ArnonH769 halfH8432 the valleyH5158, and the borderH1366 even unto the riverH5158 JabbokH2999, which is the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983;
The plainH6160 also, and JordanH3383, and the coastH1366 thereof, from ChinnerethH3672 even unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220, under AshdothpisgahH798+H794 eastwardH4217. {Ashdothpisgah; or, the springs of Pisgah, or, the hill}
Who smoteH5221 greatH7227 nationsH1471, and slewH2026 mightyH6099 kingsH4428;
SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all the kingdomsH4467 of CanaanH3667:
And gaveH5414 their landH776 for an heritageH5159, an heritageH5159 unto IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
To him which smoteH5221 greatH1419 kingsH4428: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
And slewH2026 famousH117 kingsH4428: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
And OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
And gaveH5414 their landH776 for an heritageH5159: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769:
Even an heritageH5159 unto IsraelH3478 his servantH5650: for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
