Numbers 32

    ²They came to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and the princes of the multitude, and said:

    ³Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nemra, Hesebon, and Eleale, and Saban, and Nebo, and Beon,

    ⁴The land, which the Lord hath conquered in the sight of the children of Israel, is a very fertile soil for the feeding of beasts: and we thy servants have very much cattle:

    ⁵And we pray thee, if we have found favour in thy sight, that thou give it to us thy servants in possession, and make us not pass over the Jordan.

    ⁶And Moses answered them: What, shall your brethren go to fight, and will you sit here?

    ⁷Why do ye overturn the minds of the children of Israel, that they may not dare to pass into the place which the Lord hath given them?

    ⁸Was it not thus your fathers did, when I sent from Cadesbarne to view the land?

    ⁹And when they were come as far as the valley of the cluster, having viewed all the country, they overturned the hearts of the children of Israel, that they should not enter into the coasts, which the Lord gave them.

    ¹⁰And he swore in his anger, saying:.

    ¹¹If these men, that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land, which I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: because they would not follow me,

    ¹²Except Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, and Josue the son of Nun: these have fulfilled my will.

    ¹³And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.

    ¹⁴And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.

    ¹⁵For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, end you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.

    ¹⁶But they coming near, said: We will make sheepfolds, and stalls for our cattle, and strong cities for our children :

    ¹⁷And we ourselves will go armed and ready for battle before the children of Israel, until we bring them in unto their places. Our little ones, and all we have, shall be in walled cities, for fear of the ambushes of the inhabitants.

    ¹⁸We will not return into our houses until the children of Israel possess their inheritance:

    ¹⁹Neither will we seek any thing beyond the Jordan, because we have already our possession on the east side thereof,

    ²⁰And Moses said to them: If you do what you promise, go on well appointed for war before the Lord:

    ²¹And let every fighting man pass over the Jordan, until the Lord overthrow his enemies :

    ²²And all the land be brought under him, then shall you be blameless before the Lord and before Israel, and you shall obtain the countries that you desire, before the Lord.

    ²³But if you do not what you say, no man can doubt but you sin against God: and know ye, that your sin shall overtake you.

    ²⁴Build therefore cities for your children, and folds and stalls for your sheep and beasts, and accomplish what you have promised.

    ²⁵And the children of Gad and Ruben said to Moses: We are thy servants, we will do what my lord commandeth.

    ²⁶We will leave our children, and our wives and sheep and cattle, in the cities of Galaad:

    ²⁷And we thy servants all well appointed will march on to the war, as thou, my lord, speakest.

    ²⁸Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:

    ²⁹If the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben pass with you over the Jordan, all armed for war before the Lord, and the land be made subject to you: give them Galaad in possession.

    ³⁰But if they will not pass armed with you into the land of Chanaan, let them receive places to dwell in among you.

    ³¹And the children of Gad, and the children of Ruben answered: As the Lord hath spoken to his servants, so will we do:

    ³²We will go armed before the Lord into the land of Chanaan, and we confess that we have already received our possession beyond the Jordan.

    ³³Moses therefore gave to the children of Cad and of Ruben, and to the half tribe of Manasses the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and the kingdom of Og king of Basan, and their land and the cities thereof round about.

    ³⁴And the sons of Cad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

    ³⁵And Etroth, and Sophan, and Jazer, and Jegbaa,

    ³⁶And Bethnemra, and Betharan, fenced cities, and folds for their cattle.

    ³⁷But the children of Ruben built Hesebon, and Eleale, and Cariathaim,

    ³⁸And Nabo, and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Sabama: giving names to the cities which they had built.

    ³⁹Moreover the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, went into Galaad, and wasted it, cutting off the Amorrhites, the inhabitants thereof.

    ⁴⁰And Moses gave the land of Galaad to Machir the son of Manasses, and he dwelt in it.

    ⁴¹And Jair the son of Manasses went, and took the villages thereof, and he called them Havoth Jair, that is to say, the villages of Jair.

    ⁴²Nobe also went, and took Canath with the villages thereof: and he called it by his own name, Nobe.

    ⁵¹Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you shall have passed over the Jordan, entering into the land of Chanaan,

    ⁵²Destroy all the inhabitants of that land: beat down their pillars, and break in pieces their statues, and waste all their high places,

    ⁵³Cleansing the land, and dwelling in it. For I have given it you for a possession.

    ⁵⁴And you shall divide it among you by lot. To the more you shall give a larger part, and to the fewer a lesser. To every one as the lot shall fall, so shall the inheritance be given. The possession shall be divided by the tribes and the families.

    ⁵⁵But if you will not kill the inhabitants of the land: they that remain, shall be unto you as nails in your eyes, and spears in your sides, and they shall be your adversaries in the land of your habitation.

    ⁵⁶And whatsoever I had thought to do to them, I will do to you.

Numbers 34

    ²Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:

    ³The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:

    ⁴Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

    ⁵And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

    ⁶And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

    ⁷But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

    ⁸From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

    ⁹nod the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

    ¹⁰From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

    ¹¹And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,

    ¹²And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.

    ³¹But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.

    ³²And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?

    ³³But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.

    ³⁴And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.

    ³⁵And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

    ³⁶Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

    ³⁷John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

    ³⁸But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

    ³⁹For he that is not against you, is for you.

    ⁴⁰For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

    ⁴²And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:

    ⁴³Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

    ⁴⁴And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:

    ⁴⁵Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

    ⁴⁶And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:

    ⁴⁷Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

    ⁴⁸For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

    ⁴⁹Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavory; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
