Reuben

The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed, his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel; so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright, and though Judah was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler came from him, the rights of the firstborn belonged to Joseph) – the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel:

Hanok, Pallu, Hezron and Karmi.

The descendants of Joel:

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son, Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser[a] king of Assyria took into exile. Beerah was a leader of the Reubenites.

Their relatives by clans, listed according to their genealogical records:

Jeiel the chief, Zechariah, and Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel. They settled in the area from Aroer to Nebo and Baal Meon. To the east they occupied the land up to the edge of the desert that extends to the River Euphrates, because their livestock had increased in Gilead.

10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands; they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the entire region east of Gilead.

Gad

11 The Gadites lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah:

12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.

13 Their relatives, by families, were:

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber – seven in all.

14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.

15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasture-lands of Sharon as far as they extended.

17 All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service – able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him. 21 They seized the livestock of the Hagrites – fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, 22 and many others fell slain, because the battle was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.

The half-tribe of Manasseh

23 The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).

24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and prostituted themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.

Потомки Рувима

Сыновья Рувима, первенца Исраила. (Он был первенцем, но когда он осквернил брачное ложе своего отца,[a] права его первородства были отданы сыновьям Юсуфа, сына Исраила, поэтому он и не упоминается в родословии по своему первородству; и хотя Иуда был сильнейшим среди своих братьев, и от него произошёл правитель, права первородства отошли к Юсуфу.) Сыновья Рувима, первенца Якуба:

Ханох, Фаллу, Хецрон и Харми.

Сыновья Иоиля:

его сын Шемая, сыном которого был Гог, сыном которого был Шимей, сыном которого был Миха, сыном которого был Реая, сыном которого был Баал, сыном которого был Беэра, которого увёл в плен Тиглатпаласар, царь Ассирии. Беэра был вождём рувимитов.

Его родичи по кланам, исчисленные по их родословиям:

Иеил был главным, затем Закария и Бела, сын Азаза, внук Шема, правнук Иоиля. Они населяли земли от Ароера до Нево и Баал-Меона. К востоку же они занимали земли до самого края пустыни, которая тянется к реке Евфрату, потому что их стада умножились в Галааде.

10 Во время царствования Шаула рувимиты вели войну с агритянами, которые пали от их рук. Они поселились в жилищах агритян по всем восточным землям Галаада.

Потомки Гада

11 Гадиты жили рядом с ними в Башане до самой Салхи:

12 Иоиль был главным, Шафам – вторым после него, потом Ианай и Шафат в Башане.

13 Их родичей по семьям было семеро:

Микаил, Мешуллам, Шева, Иорай, Иакан, Зия и Евер.

14 Это сыновья Авихаила, сына Хури, сына Иароаха, сына Галаада, сына Микаила, сына Иешишая, сына Иахдо, сына Буза.

15 Ахи, сын Авдиила, внук Гуни, был главой своего семейства.

16 Гадиты жили в Галааде, в Башане и в его городах, и на всех пастбищах Шарона, до самых их пределов.

17 Все они были внесены в родословные записи во время царствования Иотама, царя Иуды, и Иеровоама, царя Исраила.

18 У родов Рувима, Гада и половины рода Манассы было сорок четыре тысячи семьсот шестьдесят мужчин, пригодных к военной службе, – крепких мужчин, которые умели обращаться с щитом и мечом, натягивать лук и сражаться. 19 Они вели войну с агритянами, Иетуром, Нафишем и Нодавом. 20 Всевышний помог им в их сражении и отдал агритян и всех их союзников в их руки, потому что они взывали к Нему во время битвы. Он ответил на их молитвы, потому что они верили Ему. 21 Они захватили скот агритян – пятьдесят тысяч верблюдов, двести пятьдесят тысяч овец и две тысячи ослов. В плен они взяли сто тысяч человек, 22 и ещё множество пало убитыми, потому что та война была по воле Всевышнего. Гадиты жили в их землях до плена.

Восточная половина рода Манассы

23 Народ половины рода Манассы был многочислен. Они населяли страну от Башана до Баал-Хермона, Сенира и горы Хермон.

24 Вот главы их семейств:

Ефер, Иши, Элиил, Азриил, Иеремия, Годавия и Иахдиил – доблестные воины, прославленные мужи, главы своих семейств. 25 Но они нарушили верность Богу их предков и распутничали с богами народов страны, которых Всевышний истребил перед ними. 26 И Бог Исраила побудил Пула (он же Тиглатпаласар)[b], царя Ассирии, и тот взял роды Рувима, Гада и половину рода Манассы в плен. Он увёл их в Халах, Хавор, Ару и на реку Гозан, где они находятся и по сегодняшний день.

Reuben

The sons of Reuben(A) the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s marriage bed,(B) his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph(C) son of Israel;(D) so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright,(E) and though Judah(F) was the strongest of his brothers and a ruler(G) came from him, the rights of the firstborn(H) belonged to Joseph)— the sons of Reuben(I) the firstborn of Israel:

The descendants of Joel:

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Gad

11 The Gadites(T) lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah:(U)

12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan.

13 Their relatives, by families, were:

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber—seven in all.

14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz.

15 Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family.

16 The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as they extended.

17 All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham(V) king of Judah and Jeroboam(W) king of Israel.

18 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service(X)—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur,(Y) Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped(Z) in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried(AA) out to him during the battle.

They also took one hundred thousand people captive, 22 and many others fell slain, because the battle(AC) was God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.(AD)

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh

23 The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh(AE) were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon).(AF)

24 These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. 25 But they were unfaithful(AG) to the God of their ancestors and prostituted(AH) themselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit(AI) of Pul(AJ) king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser(AK) king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah,(AL) Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.
