Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh

16 The allotment for Joseph began at the Jordan, east of the springs of Jericho, and went up from there through the desert^(A) into the hill country of Bethel.^(B) ²It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz^(C)),^[a] crossed over to the territory of the Arkites^(D) in Ataroth,^(E) ³descended westward to the territory of the Japhletites as far as the region of Lower Beth Horon^(F) and on to Gezer,^(G) ending at the Mediterranean Sea.

⁴So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.^(H)

⁵This was the territory of Ephraim, according to its clans:

The boundary of their inheritance went from Ataroth Addar^(I) in the east to Upper Beth Horon^(J) ⁶and continued to the Mediterranean Sea. From Mikmethath^(K) on the north it curved eastward to Taanath Shiloh, passing by it to Janoah^(L) on the east. ⁷Then it went down from Janoah^(M) to Ataroth^(N) and Naarah, touched Jericho and came out at the Jordan. ⁸From Tappuah^(O) the border went west to the Kanah Ravine^(P) and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites, according to its clans. ⁹It also included all the towns and their villages that were set aside for the Ephraimites within the inheritance of the Manassites.^(Q)

¹⁰They did not dislodge the Canaanites living in Gezer; to this day the Canaanites live among the people of Ephraim but are required to do forced labor.^(R)

Allotment for Judah^(A)

15 The allotment for the tribe of Judah, according to its clans, extended down to the territory of Edom,^(B) to the Desert of Zin^(C) in the extreme south.^(D)

²Their southern boundary started from the bay at the southern end of the Dead Sea,^(E) ³crossed south of Scorpion Pass,^(F) continued on to Zin and went over to the south of Kadesh Barnea.^(G) Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka. ⁴It then passed along to Azmon^(H) and joined the Wadi of Egypt,^(I) ending at the Mediterranean Sea. This is their^[a] southern boundary.

⁵The eastern boundary^(J) is the Dead Sea^(K) as far as the mouth of the Jordan.

The northern boundary^(L) started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan, ⁶went up to Beth Hoglah^(M) and continued north of Beth Arabah^(N) to the Stone of Bohan^(O) son of Reuben. ⁷The boundary then went up to Debir^(P) from the Valley of Achor^(Q) and turned north to Gilgal,^(R) which faces the Pass of Adummim south of the gorge. It continued along to the waters of En Shemesh^(S) and came out at En Rogel.^(T) ⁸Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom^(U) along the southern slope of the Jebusite^(V) city (that is, Jerusalem^(W)). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley^(X) at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.^(Y)

Tablets Like the First Ones

10 At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets^(A) like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.^[a] ²I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”^(B)

³So I made the ark out of acacia wood^(C) and chiseled^(D) out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. ⁴The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments^(E) he had proclaimed^(F) to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly.^(G) And the Lord gave them to me. ⁵Then I came back down the mountain^(H) and put the tablets in the ark^(I) I had made,^(J) as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.^(K)

⁶(The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah.^(L) There Aaron died^(M) and was buried, and Eleazar^(N) his son succeeded him as priest.^(O) ⁷From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.^(P) ⁸At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi^(Q) to carry the ark of the covenant^(R) of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister^(S) and to pronounce blessings^(T) in his name, as they still do today.^(U) ⁹That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,^(V) as the Lord your God told them.)

¹⁰Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the Lord listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.^(W) ¹¹“Go,” the Lord said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Fear the Lord

¹²And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you^(X) but to fear^(Y) the Lord your God, to walk^(Z) in obedience to him, to love him,^(AA) to serve the Lord^(AB) your God with all your heart^(AC) and with all your soul,^(AD) ¹³and to observe the Lord’s commands^(AE) and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?^(AF)

¹⁴To the Lord your God belong the heavens,^(AG) even the highest heavens,^(AH) the earth and everything in it.^(AI) ¹⁵Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved^(AJ) them, and he chose you,^(AK) their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.^(AL) ¹⁶Circumcise^(AM) your hearts,^(AN) therefore, and do not be stiff-necked^(AO) any longer. ¹⁷For the Lord your God is God of gods^(AP) and Lord of lords,^(AQ) the great God, mighty and awesome,^(AR) who shows no partiality^(AS) and accepts no bribes.^(AT) ¹⁸He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow,^(AU) and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.^(AV) ¹⁹And you are to love^(AW) those who are foreigners,^(AX) for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.^(AY) ²⁰Fear the Lord your God and serve him.^(AZ) Hold fast^(BA) to him and take your oaths in his name.^(BB) ²¹He is the one you praise;^(BC) he is your God, who performed for you those great^(BD) and awesome wonders^(BE) you saw with your own eyes. ²²Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all,^(BF) and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.^(BG)
