Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
And RehoboamH7346 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927: for all IsraelH3478 were comeH935 to ShechemH7927 to make him kingH4427.
And it came to pass, when JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who was yet in EgyptH4714, heardH8085 of it, (for he was fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and JeroboamH3379 dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714;)
That they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him. And JeroboamH3379 and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and spakeH1696 unto RehoboamH7346, sayingH559,
Thy fatherH1 madeH7185 our yokeH5923 grievousH7185: now therefore make thou the grievousH7186 serviceH5656 of thy fatherH1, and his heavyH3515 yokeH5923 which he putH5414 upon us, lighterH7043, and we will serveH5647 thee.
And he saidH559 unto them, DepartH3212 yet for threeH7969 daysH3117, then come againH7725 to me. And the peopleH5971 departedH3212.
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 consultedH3289 with the old menH2205, that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, and saidH559, How do ye adviseH3289 that I mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971?
And they spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, If thou wilt be a servantH5650 unto this peopleH5971 this dayH3117, and wilt serveH5647 them, and answerH6030 them, and speakH1696 goodH2896 wordsH1697 to them, then they will be thy servantsH5650 for everH3117.
But he forsookH5800 the counselH6098 of the old menH2205, which they had givenH3289 him, and consultedH3289 with the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him, and which stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him:
And he saidH559 unto them, What counsel giveH3289 ye that we mayH7725 answerH1697 this peopleH5971, who have spokenH1696 to me, sayingH559, MakeH7043 the yokeH5923 which thy fatherH1 did putH5414 upon us lighterH7043?
And the young menH3206 that were grown upH1431 with him spakeH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus shalt thou speakH559 unto this peopleH5971 that spakeH1696 unto thee, sayingH559, Thy fatherH1 madeH3513 our yokeH5923 heavyH3513, but make thou it lighterH7043 unto us; thus shalt thou sayH1696 unto them, My littleH6995 finger shall be thickerH5666 than my father'sH1 loinsH4975.
And now whereas my fatherH1 did ladeH6006 you with a heavyH3515 yokeH5923, I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 hath chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
So JeroboamH3379 and all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to RehoboamH7346 the thirdH7992 dayH3117, as the kingH4428 had appointedH1696, sayingH559, Come to me againH7725 the thirdH7992 dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 roughlyH7186, and forsookH5800 the old men'sH2205 counselH6098 that they gaveH3289 him; {roughly: Heb. hardly}
And spakeH1696 to them after the counselH6098 of the young menH3206, sayingH559, My fatherH1 madeH3513 your yokeH5923 heavyH3513, and I will addH3254 to your yokeH5923: my fatherH1 also chastisedH3256 you with whipsH7752, but I will chastiseH3256 you with scorpionsH6137.
Wherefore the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto the peopleH5971; for the causeH5438 was from the LORDH3068, that he might performH6965 his sayingH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 byH3027 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 unto JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
But as for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 which dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, RehoboamH7346 reignedH4427 over them.
Then kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 sentH7971 AdoramH151, who was over the tributeH4522; and all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191. Therefore kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 made speedH553 to get him upH5927 to his chariotH4818, to fleeH5127 to JerusalemH3389. {made…: Heb. strengthened himself}
So IsraelH3478 rebelledH6586 against the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 unto this dayH3117. {rebelled: or, fell away}
And it came to pass, when all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 that JeroboamH3379 was come againH7725, that they sentH7971 and calledH7121 him unto the congregationH5712, and made him kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: there was none that followedH310 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, butH2108 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 only.
And when RehoboamH7346 was comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, he assembledH6950 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, with the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, an hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505 chosen menH977, which were warriorsH6213+H4421, to fightH3898 against the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to bringH7725 the kingdomH4410 againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010.
But the wordH1697 of GodH430 came unto ShemaiahH8098 the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto RehoboamH7346, the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and unto all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and to the remnantH3499 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Ye shall not go upH5927, nor fightH3898 against your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: returnH7725 every manH376 to his houseH1004; for this thingH1697 isH1961 from me. They hearkenedH8085 therefore to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and returnedH7725 to departH3212, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then JeroboamH3379 builtH1129 ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and dweltH3427 therein; and went outH3318 from thence, and builtH1129 PenuelH6439.
And JeroboamH3379 saidH559 in his heartH3820, Now shall the kingdomH4467 returnH7725 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732:
If this peopleH5971 go upH5927 to doH6213 sacrificeH2077 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, then shall the heartH3820 of this peopleH5971 turn againH7725 unto their lordH113, even unto RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and they shall killH2026 me, and go againH7725 to RehoboamH7346 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091, and saidH559 unto them, It is too muchH7227 for you to go upH5927 to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which brought thee upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And he setH7760 the oneH259 in BethelH1008, and the otherH259 putH5414 he in DanH1835.
And this thingH1697 became a sinH2403: for the peopleH5971 wentH3212 to worship beforeH6440 the oneH259, even unto DanH1835.
And he madeH6213 an houseH1004 of high placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971, which were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And JeroboamH3379 ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196. So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
So he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 which he had madeH6213 in BethelH1008 the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the eighthH8066 monthH2320, even in the monthH2320 which he had devisedH908 of his own heartH3820; and ordainedH6213 a feastH2282 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and he offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196, and burnt incenseH6999. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {and burnt…: Heb. to burn incense}
For if ye turn awayH7725 from afterH310 him, he will yet againH3254 leaveH3240 them in the wildernessH4057; and ye shall destroyH7843 all this peopleH5971.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
O IsraelH3478, thou hast destroyedH7843 thyself; but in me is thine helpH5828. {is…: Heb. in thy help}
I willH165 be thy kingH4428: whereH645 is any other that may saveH3467 thee in all thy citiesH5892? and thy judgesH8199 of whom thou saidstH559, GiveH5414 me a kingH4428 and princesH8269? {I will…: rather, Where is thy king?}
I gaveH5414 thee a kingH4428 in mine angerH639, and tookH3947 him away in my wrathH5678.
It is reportedG191 commonlyG3654 that there is fornicationG4202 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 suchG5108 fornicationG4202 asG3748 isG3687 not so muchG3761 as namedG3687 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, thatG5620 oneG5100 should haveG2192 his father'sG3962 wifeG1135.
AndG2532 yeG5210 areG2075 puffed upG5448, andG2532 haveG3996 notG3780 ratherG3123 mournedG3996, thatG2443 he that hath doneG4160 thisG5124 deedG2041 might be taken awayG1808 fromG1537 amongG3319 youG5216.
ForG1063 IG1473 verilyG3303, asG5613 absentG548 in bodyG4983, butG1161 presentG3918 in spiritG4151, have judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, asG5613 though I were presentG3918, concerning him that hathG2716 soG3779 doneG2716 this deedG5124, {judged: or, determined}
InG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, when yeG5216 are gathered togetherG4863, andG2532 myG1699 spiritG4151, withG4862 the powerG1411 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
To deliverG3860 such an oneG5108 unto SatanG4567 forG1519 the destructionG3639 of the fleshG4561, thatG2443 the spiritG4151 may be savedG4982 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
YourG5216 gloryingG2745 is notG3756 goodG2570. Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 a littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445?
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 inG1722 an epistleG1992 notG3361 to companyG4874 with fornicatorsG4205:
YetG2532 notG3756 altogetherG3843 with the fornicatorsG4205 of thisG5127 worldG2889, orG2228 with the covetousG4123, orG2228 extortionersG727, orG2228 with idolatersG1496; forG1893 thenG686 must ye needsG3784 goG1831 out ofG1537 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 nowG3570 I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 notG3361 to keep companyG4874, ifG1437 any manG5100 that is calledG3687 a brotherG80 beG2228 a fornicatorG4205, orG2228 covetousG4123, orG2228 an idolaterG1496, orG2228 a railerG3060, orG2228 a drunkardG3183, orG2228 an extortionerG727; with such an oneG5108 no notG3366 to eatG4906.
ForG1063 whatG5101 have IG3427 to do to judgeG2919 them alsoG2532 that are withoutG1854? doG2919 notG3780 yeG5210 judgeG2919 them that are withinG2080?
ButG1161 them that are withoutG1854 GodG2316 judgethG2919. ThereforeG2532 put awayG1808 fromG1537 among yourselvesG5216 thatG846 wicked personG4190.
ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG5216 treasureG2344 isG2076, thereG1563 willG2071 yourG5216 heartG2588 beG2071 alsoG2532.
These are the familiesH4940 of the ReubenitesH7206: and they that were numberedH6485 of them were fortyH705 and threeH7969 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970.
These are the familiesH4940 of the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 according to those that were numberedH6485 of them, fortyH705 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967.
These are the familiesH4940 of ManassehH4519, and those that were numberedH6485 of them, fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967.
About fortyH705 thousandH505 preparedH2502 for warH6635 passed overH5674 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. {prepared: or, ready armed}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 GilgalH1537 unto this dayH3117. {Gilgal: that is Rolling}
Know ye notG50, that soG3754 many of usG3745 as were baptizedG907 intoG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 were baptizedG907 intoG1519 hisG846 deathG2288? {were: or, are} {were: or, are}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 ye are circumcisedG4059 with the circumcisionG4061 made without handsG886, inG1722 putting offG555 the bodyG4983 of the sinsG266 of the fleshG4561 byG1722 the circumcisionG4061 of ChristG5547:
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
What andG3767 ifG1437 ye shall seeG2334 the SonG5207 of manG444 ascend upG305 whereG3699 he wasG2258 beforeG4386?
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
Set your affectionG5426 on things aboveG507, notG3361 on things onG1909 the earthG1093. {affection: or, mind}
ForG1063 ye are deadG599, andG2532 yourG5216 lifeG2222 is hidG2928 withG4862 ChristG5547 inG1722 GodG2316.
Now gatherH1413 thyself in troopsH1416, O daughterH1323 of troopsH1416: he hath laidH7760 siegeH4692 against us: they shall smiteH5221 the judgeH8199 of IsraelH3478 with a rodH7626 upon the cheekH3895.
AfterG3326 these thingsG5023 JesusG2424 wentG565 overG4008 the seaG2281 of GalileeG1056, which is the sea of TiberiasG5085.
AndG2532 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 followedG190 himG846, becauseG3754 they sawG3708 hisG846 miraclesG4592 whichG3739 he didG4160 onG1909 them that were diseasedG770.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 went upG424 intoG1519 a mountainG3735, andG2532 thereG1563 he satG2521 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3101.
AndG1161 the passoverG3957, a feastG1859 of the JewsG2453, wasG2258 nighG1451.
When JesusG2424 thenG3767 lifted upG1869 his eyesG3788, andG2532 sawG2300+G3754 a greatG4183 companyG3793 comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, he saithG3004 untoG4314 PhilipG5376, WhenceG4159 shall we buyG59 breadG740, thatG2443 theseG3778 may eatG5315?
AndG1161 thisG5124 he saidG3004 to proveG3985 himG846: forG1063 he himselfG846 knewG1492 whatG5101 he wouldG3195 doG4160.
PhilipG5376 answeredG611 himG846, Two hundredG1250 pennyworthG1220 of breadG740 isG714 notG3756 sufficientG714 for themG846, thatG2443 every oneG1538 of themG846 may takeG2983 aG5100 littleG1024.
OneG1520 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101, AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter'sG4074 brotherG80, saithG3004 unto himG846,
There isG2076 aG1520 ladG3808 hereG5602, whichG3739 hathG2192 fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740, andG2532 twoG1417 small fishesG3795: butG235 whatG5101 areG2076 theyG5023 amongG1519 so manyG5118?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036, MakeG4160 the menG444 sit downG377. NowG1161 there wasG2258 muchG4183 grassG5528 inG1722 the placeG5117. SoG3767 the menG435 sat downG377, in numberG706 aboutG5616 five thousandG4000.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 tookG2983 the loavesG740; andG2532 when he had given thanksG2168, he distributedG1239 to the disciplesG3101, andG1161 the disciplesG3101 to them that were set downG345; andG2532 likewiseG3668 ofG1537 the fishesG3795 as much asG3745 they wouldG2309.
WhenG1161+G5613 they were filledG1705, he saidG3004 unto hisG846 disciplesG3101, Gather upG4863 the fragmentsG2801 that remainG4052, that nothingG3363+G5100 be lostG622.
ThereforeG3767 they gathered them togetherG4863, andG2532 filledG1072 twelveG1427 basketsG2894 with the fragmentsG2801 ofG1537 the fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740, whichG3739 remained over and aboveG4052 unto them that had eatenG977.
ThenG3767 those menG444, when they had seenG1492 the miracleG4592 thatG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160, saidG3004, ThisG3754+G3778 isG2076 of a truthG230 that prophetG4396 that should comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
When JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 perceivedG1097 thatG3754 they wouldG3195 comeG2064 andG2532 takeG726 himG846 by forceG726, toG2443 makeG4160 himG846 a kingG935, he departedG402 againG3825 intoG1519 a mountainG3735 himselfG846 aloneG3441.
AndG1161 whenG5613 evenG3798 was now comeG1096, hisG846 disciplesG3101 went downG2597 untoG1909 the seaG2281,
AndG2532 enteredG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143, and wentG2064 overG4008 the seaG2281 towardG1519 CapernaumG2584. AndG2532 it wasG1096 nowG2235 darkG4653, andG2532 JesusG2424 wasG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 toG4314 themG846.
AndG5037 the seaG2281 aroseG1326 by reason of a greatG3173 windG417 that blewG4154.
SoG3767 when they had rowedG1643 aboutG5613 fiveG4002 and twentyG1501 orG2228 thirtyG5144 furlongsG4712, they seeG2334 JesusG2424 walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 drawingG1096 nighG1451 unto the shipG4143: andG2532 they were afraidG5399.
ButG1161 he saithG3004 unto themG846, It isG1510 IG1473; beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399.
ThenG3767 they willinglyG2309 receivedG2983 himG846 intoG1519 the shipG4143: andG2532 immediatelyG2112 the shipG4143 wasG1096 atG1909 the landG1093 whitherG1519+G3739 they wentG5217.
The day followingG1887, when the peopleG3793 whichG3588 stoodG2476 on the other sideG4008 of the seaG2281 sawG1492 thatG3754 there wasG2258 noneG3756 otherG243 boatG4142 thereG1563, saveG1508 thatG1565 oneG1520 whereintoG1519+G3739 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were enteredG1684, andG2532 thatG3754 JesusG2424 wentG4897 notG3756 withG4897 hisG846 disciplesG3101 intoG1519 the boatG4142, butG235 that hisG846 disciplesG3101 were gone awayG565 aloneG3441;
(HowbeitG235+G1161 there cameG2064 otherG243 boatsG4142 fromG1537 TiberiasG5085 nighG1451 unto the placeG5117 whereG3699 they did eatG5315 breadG740, after that the LordG2962 had given thanksG2168:)
WhenG3753 the peopleG3793 thereforeG3767 sawG1492 thatG3754 JesusG2424 wasG2076 notG3756 thereG1563, neitherG3761 hisG846 disciplesG3101, theyG846 alsoG2532 tookG1684+G1519 shippingG4143, andG2532 cameG2064 toG1519 CapernaumG2584, seeking forG2212 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 when they had foundG2147 himG846 on the other sideG4008 of the seaG2281, they saidG2036 unto himG846, RabbiG4461, whenG4219 camest thouG1096 hitherG5602?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846 andG2532 saidG2036, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, Ye seekG2212 meG3165, notG3756 becauseG3754 ye sawG1492 the miraclesG4592, butG235 becauseG3754 ye did eatG5315 ofG1537 the loavesG740, andG2532 were filledG5526.
LabourG2038 notG3361 for the meatG1035 whichG3588 perishethG622, butG235 for that meatG1035 whichG3588 endurethG3306 untoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall giveG1325 unto youG5213: forG1063 himG5126 hathG4972 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 sealedG4972. {Labour not: or, Work not}
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 untoG4314 himG846, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160, thatG2443 we might workG2038 the worksG2041 of GodG2316?
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, ThisG5124 isG2076 the workG2041 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye believeG4100 onG1519 himG3739 whomG1565 he hath sentG649.
They saidG2036 thereforeG3767 unto himG846, WhatG5101 signG4592 shewestG4160 thouG4771 thenG3767, thatG2443 we may seeG1492, andG2532 believeG4100 theeG4671? whatG5101 dost thou workG2038?
OurG2257 fathersG3962 did eatG5315 mannaG3131 inG1722 the desertG2048; asG2531 it isG2076 writtenG1125, He gaveG1325 themG846 breadG740 fromG1537 heavenG3772 to eatG5315.
ThenG3767 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, MosesG3475 gaveG1325 youG5213 notG3756 that breadG740 fromG1537 heavenG3772; butG235 myG3450 FatherG3962 givethG1325 youG5213 the trueG228 breadG740 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
ForG1063 the breadG740 of GodG2316 is heG2076 whichG3588 cometh downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, andG2532 givethG1325 lifeG2222 unto the worldG2889.
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 untoG4314 himG846, LordG2962, evermoreG3842 giveG1325 usG2254 thisG5126 breadG740.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, IG1473 amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222: he that comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165 shall neverG3364 hungerG3983; andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 shallG1372 neverG3364+G4455 thirstG1372.
ButG235 I saidG2036 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG3708 alsoG2532 have seenG3708 meG3165, andG2532 believeG4100 notG3756.
AllG3956 thatG3739 the FatherG3962 givethG1325 meG3427 shall comeG2240 toG4314 meG1691; andG2532 him that comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165 I willG1544 in no wiseG3364 castG1544 outG1854.
ForG3754 I came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, notG3756 toG2443 doG4160 mine ownG1699 willG2307, butG235 the willG2307 of him that sentG3992 meG3165.
AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the Father'sG3962 willG2307 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 meG3165, thatG2443 of allG3956 whichG3739 he hath givenG1325 meG3427 I should loseG622 nothingG3361+G1537+G846, butG235 should raiseG450 itG846 up againG450 atG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250.
AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of him that sentG3992 meG3165, thatG2443 every oneG3956 whichG3588 seethG2334 the SonG5207, andG2532 believethG4100 onG1519 himG846, may haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
The JewsG2453 thenG3767 murmuredG1111 atG4012 himG846, becauseG3754 he saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 the breadG740 whichG3588 came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 they saidG3004, IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384 weG2249 knowG1492? how is itG4459 thenG3767 that heG3778 saithG3004+G3754, I came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772?
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, MurmurG1111 notG3361 amongG3326 yourselvesG240.
No manG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165, exceptG3362 the FatherG3962 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 meG3165 drawG1670 himG846: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
It isG2076 writtenG1125 inG1722 the prophetsG4396, AndG2532 they shall beG2071 allG3956 taughtG1318 of GodG2316. Every manG3956 thereforeG3767 that hath heardG191, andG2532 hath learnedG3129 ofG3844 the FatherG3962, comethG2064 untoG4314 meG3165.
NotG3756 thatG3754 any manG5100 hath seenG3708 the FatherG3962, saveG1508 he whichG3588 isG3844+G5607 of GodG2316, heG3778 hath seenG3708 the FatherG3962.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
IG1473 amG1510 that breadG740 of lifeG2222.
YourG5216 fathersG3962 did eatG5315 mannaG3131 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 are deadG599.
ThisG3778 isG2076 the breadG740 whichG3588 cometh downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, thatG3363 a manG5100 may eatG5315 thereofG1537+G846, andG2532 notG3363 dieG599.
IG1473 amG1510 the livingG2198 breadG740 whichG3588 came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772: ifG1437 any manG5100 eatG5315 ofG1537 thisG5127 breadG740, he shall liveG2198 forG1519 everG165: andG1161+G2532 the breadG740 thatG3739 IG1473 will giveG1325 isG2076 myG3450 fleshG4561, whichG3739 IG1473 will giveG1325 forG5228 the lifeG2222 of the worldG2889.
The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 stroveG3164 amongG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004, HowG4459 canG1410 this manG3778 giveG1325 usG2254 his fleshG4561 to eatG5315?
ThenG3767 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ExceptG3362 ye eatG5315 the fleshG4561 of the SonG5207 of manG444, andG2532 drinkG4095 hisG846 bloodG129, ye haveG2192 noG3756 lifeG2222 inG1722 youG1438.
Whoso eatethG5176 myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 drinkethG4095 myG3450 bloodG129, hathG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222; andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
ForG1063 myG3450 fleshG4561 isG2076 meatG1035 indeedG230, andG2532 myG3450 bloodG129 isG2076 drinkG4213 indeedG230.
He that eatethG5176 myG3450 fleshG4561, andG2532 drinkethG4095 myG3450 bloodG129, dwellethG3306 inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846.
AsG2531 the livingG2198 FatherG3962 hath sentG649 meG3165, and IG2504 liveG2198 byG1223 the FatherG3962: soG2532 he that eatethG5176 meG3165, even heG2548 shall liveG2198 byG1223 meG1691.
ThisG3778 isG2076 that breadG740 whichG3588 came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772: notG3756 asG2531 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did eatG5315 mannaG3131, andG2532 are deadG599: he that eatethG5176 of thisG5126 breadG740 shall liveG2198 forG1519 everG165.
These thingsG5023 said heG2036 inG1722 the synagogueG4864, as he taughtG1321 inG1722 CapernaumG2584.
ManyG4183 thereforeG3767 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101, when they had heardG191 this, saidG2036, ThisG3778 isG2076 an hardG4642 sayingG3056; whoG5101 canG1410 hearG191 itG846?
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 knewG1492 inG1722 himselfG1438 thatG3754 hisG846 disciplesG3101 murmuredG1111 atG4012 itG5127, he saidG2036 unto themG846, Doth thisG5124 offendG4624 youG5209? {offend: or, scandalize, or, cause you to stumble}
What andG3767 ifG1437 ye shall seeG2334 the SonG5207 of manG444 ascend upG305 whereG3699 he wasG2258 beforeG4386?
It isG2076 the spiritG4151 that quickenethG2227; the fleshG4561+G3756 profitethG5623 nothingG3762: the wordsG4487 thatG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 unto youG5213, they areG2076 spiritG4151, andG2532 they areG2076 lifeG2222.
ButG235 there areG1526 someG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 thatG3739 believeG4100 notG3756. ForG1063 JesusG2424 knewG1492 fromG1537 the beginningG746 whoG5101 they wereG1526 that believedG4100 notG3361, andG2532 whoG5101 shouldG2076 betrayG3860 himG846.
AndG2532 he saidG3004, ThereforeG1223+G5124 said IG2046 unto youG5213, thatG3754 no manG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165, exceptG3362 it wereG5600 givenG1325 unto himG846 ofG1537 myG3450 FatherG3962.
FromG1537 thatG5127 time manyG4183 of hisG846 disciplesG3101 wentG565 backG1519+G3694, andG2532 walkedG4043 no moreG3765 withG3326 himG846.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto the twelveG1427+G3361, WillG2309 yeG5210 alsoG2532 go awayG5217?
ThenG3767 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 himG846, LordG2962, toG4314 whomG5101 shall we goG565? thou hastG2192 the wordsG4487 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 weG2249 believeG4100 andG2532 are sureG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 that ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
JesusG2424 answeredG611 themG846, HaveG1586 notG3756 IG1473 chosenG1586 youG5209 twelveG1427, andG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 youG5216 isG2076 a devilG1228?
He spakeG3004 of JudasG2455 IscariotG2469 the son of SimonG4613: forG1063 heG3778 it was that shouldG3195 betrayG3860 himG846, beingG5607 oneG1520 ofG1537 the twelveG1427.
ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 yourG5216 parentsG1118 inG1722 the LordG2962: forG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 rightG1342.
HonourG5091 thyG4675 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384; (whichG3748 isG2076 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 withG1722 promiseG1860;)
ThatG2443 it may beG1096 wellG2095 with theeG4671, andG2532 thou mayestG2071 live longG3118 onG1909 the earthG1093.
AndG2532, ye fathersG3962, provokeG3949 notG3361 yourG5216 childrenG5043 to wrathG3949: butG235 bringG1625 themG846 upG1625 inG1722 the nurtureG3809 andG2532 admonitionG3559 of the LordG2962.
ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 to them that are your mastersG2962 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156, inG1722 singlenessG572 of yourG5216 heartG2588, asG5613 unto ChristG5547;
NotG3361 withG2596 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 asG5613 the servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doingG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 fromG1537 the heartG5590;
WithG3326 good willG2133 doing serviceG1398, as to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 to menG444:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 whatsoeverG3739+G1437+G5100 good thingG18 any manG1538 doethG4160, the sameG5124 shall he receiveG2865 ofG3844 the LordG2962, whetherG1535 he be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658.
AndG2532, ye mastersG2962, doG4160 the same thingsG846 untoG4314 themG846, forbearingG447 threateningG547: knowingG1492 thatG3754 yourG5216+G846 MasterG2962 alsoG2532 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772; neitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 respect of personsG4382 withG3844 himG846. {forbearing: or, moderating} {your…: some read, both your and their Master}
FinallyG3063, myG3450 brethrenG80, be strongG1743 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 inG1722 the powerG2904 of hisG846 mightG2479.
Put onG1746 the whole armourG3833 of GodG2316, thatG4314 yeG5209 may be ableG1410 to standG2476 againstG4314 the wilesG3180 of the devilG1228.
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
WhereforeG1223+G5124 take unto youG353 the whole armourG3833 of GodG2316, thatG2443 ye may be ableG1410 to withstandG436 inG1722 the evilG4190 dayG2250, andG2532 having doneG2716 allG537, to standG2476. {having…: or, having overcome all}
StandG2476 thereforeG3767, havingG4024 yourG5216 loinsG3751 girt aboutG4024 withG1722 truthG225, andG2532 having onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of righteousnessG1343;
AndG2532 your feetG4228 shodG5265 withG1722 the preparationG2091 of the gospelG2098 of peaceG1515;
AboveG1909 allG3956, takingG353 the shieldG2375 of faithG4102, wherewithG1722+G3739 ye shall be ableG1410 to quenchG4570 allG3956 the fieryG4448 dartsG956 of the wickedG4190.
AndG2532 takeG1209 the helmetG4030 of salvationG4992, andG2532 the swordG3162 of the SpiritG4151, which isG3603 the wordG4487 of GodG2316:
PrayingG4336 alwaysG1722+G2540+G3956 withG1223 allG3956 prayerG4335 andG2532 supplicationG1162 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 watchingG69 thereuntoG1519+G5124+G846 withG1722 allG3956 perseveranceG4343 andG2532 supplicationG1162 forG4012 allG3956 saintsG40;
AndG2532 forG5228 meG1700, thatG2443 utteranceG3056 may be givenG1325 unto meG3427, that I may openG1722+G457 myG3450 mouthG4750 boldlyG1722+G3954, to make knownG1107 the mysteryG3466 of the gospelG2098,
ForG5228 whichG3739 I am an ambassadorG4243 inG1722 bondsG254: thatG2443 thereinG1722+G846 I may speak boldlyG3955, asG5613 IG3165 oughtG1163 to speakG2980. {in bonds: or, in a chain} {therein: or, thereof}
ButG1161 thatG2443 yeG5210 alsoG2532 may knowG1492 myG1691 affairsG2596, and howG5101 I doG4238, TychicusG5190, a belovedG27 brotherG80 andG2532 faithfulG4103 ministerG1249 inG1722 the LordG2962, shall make knownG1107 to youG5213 all thingsG3956:
WhomG3739 I have sentG3992 untoG4314 youG5209 forG1519 the sameG846 purposeG5124, thatG2443 ye might knowG1097 ourG2257 affairsG4012, andG2532 that he might comfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588.
PeaceG1515 be to the brethrenG80, andG2532 loveG26 withG3326 faithG4102, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
GraceG5485 be withG3326 allG3956 them that loveG25 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 inG1722 sincerityG861. AmenG281. {in sincerity: or, with incorruption} {To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.}
NowG1161 noG3956+G3756 chasteningG3809 forG4314+G3303 the presentG3918 seemethG1380 to beG1511 joyousG5479, butG235 grievousG3077: neverthelessG1161 afterwardG5305 it yieldethG591 the peaceableG1516 fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 unto them which are exercisedG1128 therebyG1223+G846.
LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG2889, neitherG3366 the things that are inG1722 the worldG2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG846.
Making requestG1189, if by any meansG1513 nowG2235 at lengthG4218 I might have a prosperous journeyG2137 byG1722 the willG2307 of GodG2316 to comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209.
ForG1063 I longG1971 to seeG1492 youG5209, thatG2443 I may impartG3330 unto youG5213 someG5100 spiritualG4152 giftG5486, to the endG1519 yeG5209 may be establishedG4741;
ThatG1161+G5124 isG2076, that I may be comforted togetherG4837 withG1722 youG5213 byG1223+G1722 the mutualG240 faithG4102 bothG5037 of youG5216 andG2532 meG1700. {with: or, in}
NotG3361 forsakingG1459 the assemblingG1997 of ourselvesG1438 togetherG1997, asG2531 the mannerG1485 of someG5100 is; butG235 exhortingG3870 one another: andG2532 so muchG5118 the moreG3123, asG3745 ye seeG991 the dayG2250 approachingG1448.
LetG3306 brotherly loveG5360 continueG3306.
BeG1950 notG3361 forgetfulG1950 to entertain strangersG5381: forG1063 therebyG1223+G5026 someG5100 have entertainedG3579 angelsG32 unawaresG2990.
RememberG3403 them that are in bondsG1198, asG5613 bound with themG4887; and them which suffer adversityG2558, asG5613 beingG5607 yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 inG1722 the bodyG4983.
MarriageG1062 is honourableG5093 inG1722 allG3956, andG2532 the bedG2845 undefiledG283: butG1161 whoremongersG4205 andG2532 adulterersG3432 GodG2316 will judgeG2919.
Let your conversationG5158 be without covetousnessG866; and be contentG714 with such things as ye haveG3918: forG1063 heG846 hath saidG2046, I will neverG3364 leaveG447 theeG4571, norG3761+G3364 forsakeG1459 theeG4571.
So thatG5620 weG2248 may boldlyG2292 sayG3004, The LordG2962 is myG1698 helperG998, andG2532 I willG5399 notG3756 fearG5399 whatG5101 manG444 shall doG4160 unto meG3427.
RememberG3421 them which have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, whoG3748 have spokenG2980 unto youG5213 the wordG3056 of GodG2316: whoseG3739 faithG4102 followG3401, consideringG333 the endG1545 of their conversationG391. {have the rule: or, are the guides}
JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the sameG846 yesterdayG5504, andG2532 to dayG4594, andG2532 forG1519 everG165.
BeG4064 notG3361 carried aboutG4064 with diversG4164 andG2532 strangeG3581 doctrinesG1322. ForG1063 it is a good thingG2570 that the heartG2588 be establishedG950 with graceG5485; notG3756 with meatsG1033, which haveG5623 notG3756 profitedG5623 them that have been occupiedG4043 thereinG1722+G3739.
We haveG2192 an altarG2379, whereofG1537+G3739 they haveG2192 noG3756 rightG1849 to eatG5315 which serveG3000 the tabernacleG4633.
ForG1063 the bodiesG4983 of thoseG5130 beastsG2226, whoseG3739 bloodG129 is broughtG1533 intoG1519 the sanctuaryG39 byG1223 the high priestG749 forG4012 sinG266, are burnedG2618 withoutG1854 the campG3925.
WhereforeG1352 JesusG2424 alsoG2532, thatG2443 he might sanctifyG37 the peopleG2992 withG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129, sufferedG3958 withoutG1854 the gateG4439.
Let us go forthG1831 thereforeG5106 untoG4314 himG846 withoutG1854 the campG3925, bearingG5342 hisG846 reproachG3680.
ForG1063 hereG5602 have weG2192 noG3756 continuingG3306 cityG4172, butG235 we seek oneG1934 to comeG3195.
ByG1223 himG846 thereforeG3767 let us offerG399 the sacrificeG2378 of praiseG133 to GodG2316 continuallyG1275, that isG5123, the fruitG2590 of our lipsG5491 giving thanksG3670 to hisG846 nameG3686. {giving…: Gr. confessing to}
ButG1161 to do goodG2140 andG2532 to communicateG2842 forgetG1950 notG3361: forG1063 with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is well pleasedG2100.
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
PrayG4336 forG4012 usG2257: forG1063+G3754 we trustG3982 we haveG2192 a goodG2570 conscienceG4893, inG1722 all thingsG3956 willingG2309 to liveG390 honestlyG2573.
ButG1161 I beseechG3870 you the ratherG4056 to doG4160 thisG5124, thatG2443 I may be restoredG600 to youG5213 the soonerG5032.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of peaceG1515, that brought againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424, that greatG3173 shepherdG4166 of the sheepG4263, throughG1722 the bloodG129 of the everlastingG166 covenantG1242, {covenant: or, testament}
MakeG2675 youG5209 perfectG2675 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 toG1519 doG4160 hisG846 willG2307, workingG4160 inG1722 youG5213 that which is wellpleasingG2101 in hisG846 sightG1799, throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; to whomG3739 be gloryG1391 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281. {working: or, doing}
AndG1161 I beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, sufferG430 the wordG3056 of exhortationG3874: forG1063+G2532 I have written a letterG1989 unto youG5213 inG1223 few wordsG1024.
Know yeG1097 that our brotherG80 TimothyG5095 is set at libertyG630; withG3326 whomG3739, ifG1437 he comeG2064 shortlyG5032, I will seeG3700 youG5209.
SaluteG782 allG3956 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 allG3956 the saintsG40. They ofG575 ItalyG2482 saluteG782 youG5209.
GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {Written to the Hebrews from Italy, by Timothy.}
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and the congregationH5712 was gathered togetherH6950 as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
And the chiefH6438 of all the peopleH5971, even of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320 themselves in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971 of GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH376+H7273 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
(Now the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gone upH5927 to MizpehH4709.) Then saidH559 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, TellH1696 us, how wasH1961 this wickednessH7451?
And the LeviteH3881+H376, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was slainH7523, answeredH6030 and saidH559, I cameH935 into GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodgeH3885. {the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite}
And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437 upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026 me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031, that she is deadH4191. {forced: Heb. humbled}
And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051 hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098.
And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not anyH376 of us goH3212 to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493 into his houseH1004.
But now this shall be the thingH1697 which we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up by lotH1486 against it;
And we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of an hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of ten thousandH7233, to fetchH3947 victualH6720 for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213, when they comeH935 to GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144, according to all the follyH5039 that they have wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478.
So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376. {knit…: Heb. fellows}
And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH582 through all the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, What wickednessH7451 is this that is doneH1961 among you?
Now therefore deliverH5414 us the menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, which are in GibeahH1390, that we may put them to deathH4191, and put awayH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of their brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH622 out of the citiesH5892 unto GibeahH1390, to go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 were numberedH6485 at that timeH3117 out of the citiesH5892 twentyH6242 and sixH8337 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719, beside the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeahH1390, which were numberedH6485 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376.
Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376 lefthandedH334+H3027+H3225; every one could slingH7049 stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, beside BenjaminH1144, were numberedH6485 fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, and saidH559, WhichH4310 of us shall go upH5927 firstH8462 to the battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go up firstH8462.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and encampedH2583 against GibeahH1390.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 to battleH4421 against BenjaminH1144; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 put themselves in arrayH6186 to fightH4421 against them at GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 came forthH3318 out of GibeahH1390, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the IsraelitesH3478 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 menH376.
And the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 encouragedH2388 themselves, and set their battleH4421 againH3254 in arrayH6186 in the placeH4725 where they put themselves in arrayH6186 the firstH7223 dayH3117.
(And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 until evenH6153, and askedH7592 counsel of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5066 againH3254 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927 against him.)
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came nearH7126 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 the secondH8145 dayH3117.
And BenjaminH1144 went forthH3318 againstH7125 them out of GibeahH1390 the secondH8145 dayH3117, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 again eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all the peopleH5971, went upH5927, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and weptH1058, and satH3427 there beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 that dayH3117 until evenH6153, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, (for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430 was there in those daysH3117,
And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975 beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559, Shall I yet againH3254 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927; for to morrowH4279 I will deliverH5414 them into thine handH3027.
And IsraelH3478 setH7760 liers in waitH693 round aboutH5439 GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186 against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318 againstH7125 the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490 to smiteH5221 of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. {to smite…: Heb. to smite of the people wounded as at, etc} {the house…: or, Bethel}
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, They are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223. But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127, and drawH5423 them from the cityH5892 unto the highwaysH4546.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 out of their placeH4725, and put themselves in arrayH6186 at BaaltamarH1193: and the liers in waitH693 of IsraelH3478 came forthH1518 out of their placesH4725, even out of the meadowsH4629 of GibeahH1387.
And there cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390 tenH6235 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and the battleH4421 was soreH3513: but they knewH3045 not that evilH7451 was nearH5060 them.
And the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 of the BenjamitesH1145 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 menH376: all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
So the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062: for the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 placeH4725 to the BenjamitesH1145, because they trustedH982 unto the liers in waitH693 which they had setH7760 beside GibeahH1390.
And the liers in waitH693 hastedH2363, and rushedH6584 upon GibeahH1390; and the liers in waitH693 drew themselves alongH4900, and smoteH5221 all the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {drew…: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}
Now there was an appointed signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 andH5973 the liers in waitH693, that they should make a greatH7235 flameH4864 with smokeH6227 rise upH5927 out of the cityH5892. {sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 retiredH2015 in the battleH4421, BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to smiteH5221 and killH2491 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 about thirtyH7970 personsH376: for they saidH559, SurelyH5062 they are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421. {to smite…: Heb. to smite the wounded}
But when the flameH4864 beganH2490 to arise upH5927 out of the cityH5892 with a pillarH5982 of smokeH6227, the BenjamitesH1145 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, and, behold, the flameH3632 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064. {the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH2015, the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were amazedH926: for they sawH7200 that evilH7451 was comeH5060 upon them. {was come…: Heb. touched them}
Therefore they turnedH6437 their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 unto the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057; but the battleH4421 overtookH1692 them; and them which came out of the citiesH5892 they destroyedH7843 in the midstH8432 of them.
Thus they inclosedH3803 the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803, and chasedH7291 them, and trode them downH1869 with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121. {with ease…: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over…: Heb. unto over against}
And there fellH5307 of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
And they turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953 of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692 hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221 two thousandH505 menH376 of them.
So that all which fellH5307 that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437 and fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427 in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725 upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672: also they setH7971 on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672. {came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came…: Heb. were found}
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 saidH559 unto him, Why hast thouH4100 servedH6213 us thusH1697, that thou calledstH7121 us not, when thou wentestH1980 to fightH3898 with the MidianitesH4080? And they did chideH7378 with him sharplyH2394. {Why…: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}
And he saidH559 unto them, What have I doneH6213 now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 than the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44?
GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 into your handsH3027 the princesH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062: and what was I ableH3201 to doH6213 in comparison of you? Then their angerH7307 was abatedH7503 toward him, when he had saidH1697 thatH1696. {anger: Heb. spirit}
And GideonH1439 cameH935 to JordanH3383, and passed overH5674, he, and the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, faintH5889, yet pursuingH7291 them.
And he saidH559 unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414, I pray you, loavesH3603 of breadH3899 unto the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me; for they be faintH5889, and I am pursuingH7291 afterH310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.
And the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559, Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thine armyH6635?
And GideonH1439 saidH559, Therefore when the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into mine handH3027, then I will tearH1758 your fleshH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303. {tear: Heb. thresh}
And he went upH5927 thence to PenuelH6439, and spakeH1696 unto them likewiseH2063: and the menH582 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him as the menH582 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030 him.
And he spakeH559 also unto the menH582 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, When I come againH7725 in peaceH7965, I will break downH5422 this towerH4026.
Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their hostsH4264 with them, about fifteenH2568+H6240 thousandH505 men, all that were leftH3498 of all the hostsH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719. {men that…: or, every one drawing a sword}
And GideonH1439 went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of them that dweltH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smoteH5221 the hostH4264: for the hostH4264 was secureH983.
And when ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127, he pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and tookH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfitedH2729 all the hostH4264. {discomfited: Heb. terrified}
And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725 from battleH4421 beforeH4608 the sunH2775 was up,
And caughtH3920 a young manH5288 of the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and enquiredH7592 of him: and he describedH3789 unto him the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, even threescore and seventeenH7657+H7651 menH376. {described: Heb. writ}
And he cameH935 unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559, Behold ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, with whom ye did upbraidH2778 me, sayingH559, Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thy menH582 that are wearyH3287?
And he tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briersH1303, and with them he taughtH3045 the menH582 of SuccothH5523. {taught: Heb. made to know}
And he beat downH5422 the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026 the menH582 of the cityH5892.
Then saidH559 he unto ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, WhatH375 manner of menH582 were they whom ye slewH2026 at TaborH8396? And they answeredH559, As thouH3644 art, so were they; each oneH259 resembledH8389 the childrenH1121 of a kingH4428. {resembled…: Heb. according to the form, etc}
And he saidH559, They were my brethrenH251, even the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2421, I would not slayH2026 you.
And he saidH559 unto JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, UpH6965, and slayH2026 them. But the youthH5288 drewH8025 not his swordH2719: for he fearedH3372, because he was yet a youthH5288.
Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, RiseH6965 thou, and fallH6293 upon us: for as the manH376 is, so is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965, and slewH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and took awayH3947 the ornamentsH7720 that were on their camels'H1581 necksH6677. {ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}
Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910 thou over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast deliveredH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I will not ruleH4910 over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you: the LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I would desireH7592 a requestH7596 of you, that ye would giveH5414 me every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. (For they had goldenH2091 earringsH5141, because they were IshmaelitesH3459.)
And they answeredH559, We will willinglyH5414 giveH5414 them. And they spreadH6566 a garmentH8071, and did castH7993 therein every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998.
And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091; beside ornamentsH7720, and collarsH5188, and purpleH713 raimentH899 that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and beside the chainsH6060 that were about their camels'H1581 necksH6677. {collars: or, sweet jewels}
And GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646 thereof, and putH3322 it in his cityH5892, even in OphrahH6084: and all IsraelH3478 went thither a whoringH2181 afterH310 it: which thing became a snareH4170 unto GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004.
Thus was MidianH4080 subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that they lifted upH5375 their headsH7218 no moreH3254. And the countryH776 was in quietnessH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439.
And JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in his own houseH1004.
And GideonH1439 had threescore and tenH7657 sonsH1121 of his bodyH3409 begottenH3318: for he had manyH7227 wivesH802. {of his…: Heb. going out of his thigh}
And his concubineH6370 that was in ShechemH7927, she also bareH3205 him a sonH1121, whose nameH8034 he calledH7760 AbimelechH40. {called: Heb. set}
And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchreH6913 of JoashH3101 his fatherH1, in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33.
And it came to pass, as soon as GideonH1439 was deadH4191, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725, and went a whoringH2181 afterH310 BaalimH1168, and madeH7760 BaalberithH1170 their godH430.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rememberedH2142 not the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who had deliveredH5337 them out of the handsH3027 of all their enemiesH341 on every sideH5439:
Neither shewedH6213 they kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of JerubbaalH3378, namely, GideonH1439, according to all the goodnessH2896 which he had shewedH6213 unto IsraelH3478.
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318, and the congregationH5712 was gathered togetherH6950 as oneH259 manH376, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, with the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
And the chiefH6438 of all the peopleH5971, even of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, presentedH3320 themselves in the assemblyH6951 of the peopleH5971 of GodH430, fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH376+H7273 that drewH8025 swordH2719.
(Now the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were gone upH5927 to MizpehH4709.) Then saidH559 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, TellH1696 us, how wasH1961 this wickednessH7451?
And the LeviteH3881+H376, the husbandH376 of the womanH802 that was slainH7523, answeredH6030 and saidH559, I cameH935 into GibeahH1390 that belongeth to BenjaminH1144, I and my concubineH6370, to lodgeH3885. {the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite}
And the menH1167 of GibeahH1390 roseH6965 against me, and besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437 upon me by nightH3915, and thoughtH1819 to have slainH2026 me: and my concubineH6370 have they forcedH6031, that she is deadH4191. {forced: Heb. humbled}
And I tookH270 my concubineH6370, and cut her in piecesH5408, and sentH7971 her throughout all the countryH7704 of the inheritanceH5159 of IsraelH3478: for they have committedH6213 lewdnessH2154 and follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.
Behold, ye are all childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; giveH3051 hereH1988 your adviceH1697 and counselH6098.
And all the peopleH5971 aroseH6965 as oneH259 manH376, sayingH559, We will not anyH376 of us goH3212 to his tentH168, neither will we anyH376 of us turnH5493 into his houseH1004.
But now this shall be the thingH1697 which we will doH6213 to GibeahH1390; we will go up by lotH1486 against it;
And we will takeH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of an hundredH3967 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and an hundredH3967 of a thousandH505, and a thousandH505 out of ten thousandH7233, to fetchH3947 victualH6720 for the peopleH5971, that they may doH6213, when they comeH935 to GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144, according to all the follyH5039 that they have wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478.
So all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 against the cityH5892, knit togetherH2270 as oneH259 manH376. {knit…: Heb. fellows}
And the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 menH582 through all the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144, sayingH559, What wickednessH7451 is this that is doneH1961 among you?
Now therefore deliverH5414 us the menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, which are in GibeahH1390, that we may put them to deathH4191, and put awayH1197 evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of their brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
But the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH622 out of the citiesH5892 unto GibeahH1390, to go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 were numberedH6485 at that timeH3117 out of the citiesH5892 twentyH6242 and sixH8337 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719, beside the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeahH1390, which were numberedH6485 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376.
Among all this peopleH5971 there were sevenH7651 hundredH3967 chosenH977 menH376 lefthandedH334+H3027+H3225; every one could slingH7049 stonesH68 at an hairH8185 breadth, and not missH2398.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478, beside BenjaminH1144, were numberedH6485 fourH702 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: all these were menH376 of warH4421.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, and saidH559, WhichH4310 of us shall go upH5927 firstH8462 to the battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go up firstH8462.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and encampedH2583 against GibeahH1390.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 to battleH4421 against BenjaminH1144; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 put themselves in arrayH6186 to fightH4421 against them at GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 came forthH3318 out of GibeahH1390, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the IsraelitesH3478 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 menH376.
And the peopleH5971 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 encouragedH2388 themselves, and set their battleH4421 againH3254 in arrayH6186 in the placeH4725 where they put themselves in arrayH6186 the firstH7223 dayH3117.
(And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 and weptH1058 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 until evenH6153, and askedH7592 counsel of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Shall I go upH5066 againH3254 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927 against him.)
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came nearH7126 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 the secondH8145 dayH3117.
And BenjaminH1144 went forthH3318 againstH7125 them out of GibeahH1390 the secondH8145 dayH3117, and destroyed downH7843 to the groundH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 again eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all the peopleH5971, went upH5927, and cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and weptH1058, and satH3427 there beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and fastedH6684 that dayH3117 until evenH6153, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, (for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430 was there in those daysH3117,
And PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175, stoodH5975 beforeH6440 it in those daysH3117,) sayingH559, Shall I yet againH3254 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 my brotherH251, or shall I ceaseH2308? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, Go upH5927; for to morrowH4279 I will deliverH5414 them into thine handH3027.
And IsraelH3478 setH7760 liers in waitH693 round aboutH5439 GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186 against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318 againstH7125 the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490 to smiteH5221 of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. {to smite…: Heb. to smite of the people wounded as at, etc} {the house…: or, Bethel}
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, They are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223. But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127, and drawH5423 them from the cityH5892 unto the highwaysH4546.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 out of their placeH4725, and put themselves in arrayH6186 at BaaltamarH1193: and the liers in waitH693 of IsraelH3478 came forthH1518 out of their placesH4725, even out of the meadowsH4629 of GibeahH1387.
And there cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390 tenH6235 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and the battleH4421 was soreH3513: but they knewH3045 not that evilH7451 was nearH5060 them.
And the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 of the BenjamitesH1145 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 menH376: all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
So the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062: for the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 placeH4725 to the BenjamitesH1145, because they trustedH982 unto the liers in waitH693 which they had setH7760 beside GibeahH1390.
And the liers in waitH693 hastedH2363, and rushedH6584 upon GibeahH1390; and the liers in waitH693 drew themselves alongH4900, and smoteH5221 all the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {drew…: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}
Now there was an appointed signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 andH5973 the liers in waitH693, that they should make a greatH7235 flameH4864 with smokeH6227 rise upH5927 out of the cityH5892. {sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 retiredH2015 in the battleH4421, BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to smiteH5221 and killH2491 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 about thirtyH7970 personsH376: for they saidH559, SurelyH5062 they are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421. {to smite…: Heb. to smite the wounded}
But when the flameH4864 beganH2490 to arise upH5927 out of the cityH5892 with a pillarH5982 of smokeH6227, the BenjamitesH1145 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, and, behold, the flameH3632 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064. {the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH2015, the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were amazedH926: for they sawH7200 that evilH7451 was comeH5060 upon them. {was come…: Heb. touched them}
Therefore they turnedH6437 their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 unto the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057; but the battleH4421 overtookH1692 them; and them which came out of the citiesH5892 they destroyedH7843 in the midstH8432 of them.
Thus they inclosedH3803 the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803, and chasedH7291 them, and trode them downH1869 with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121. {with ease…: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over…: Heb. unto over against}
And there fellH5307 of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
And they turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953 of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692 hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221 two thousandH505 menH376 of them.
So that all which fellH5307 that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437 and fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427 in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725 upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672: also they setH7971 on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672. {came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came…: Heb. were found}
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
BeG1096 yeG3402 thereforeG3767 followersG3402 of GodG2316, asG5613 dearG27 childrenG5043;
If any manG1536 loveG5368 notG3756 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, let him beG2277 AnathemaG331 MaranathaG3134.
And the nameH8034 of HebronH2275 beforeH6440 was KirjatharbaH7153; which Arba was a greatH1419 manH120 among the AnakimsH6062. And the landH776 had restH8252 from warH4421.
