Lines of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh

The family of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son: he was actually the oldest, but when he dishonored his father’s bed his birthright[a] was given to the family of Joseph, Israel’s son, so Reuben isn’t listed as the oldest in the records. Although Judah became the strongest among his brothers and a leader came from him, the birthright belonged to Joseph.

The family of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

Joel’s family: his son Shemaiah, his son Gog, his son Shimei, his son Micah, his son Reaiah, his son Baal, and his son Beerah, whom Assyria’s King Tilgath-pilneser carried away into exile. He was a chief of the Reubenites. His relatives, by their[b] clans when their genealogy was listed in the records, were: Jeiel the first; Zechariah; and Bela, Azaz’s son, Shema’s grandson, and Joel’s great-grandson.

They lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River, because their livestock had increased in the land of Gilead. 10 In Saul’s days they waged war on the Hagrites, whom they defeated. So they lived in their tents throughout the entire region east of Gilead.

11 Gad’s family lived opposite them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 Joel was the first, Shapham the second, and Janai governed[c] Bashan.

13 Their relatives according to their households: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all.

14 This was the family of Abihail son of Huri son of Jaroah son of Gilead son of Michael son of Jeshishai son of Jahdo son of Buz. 15 Ahi, Abdiel’s son and Guni’s grandson, was the head of their household.

16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and as far as the boundaries of all the open lands of Sharon. 17 They were all listed in the records in the days of Judah’s King Jotham and Israel’s King Jeroboam. 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh were warriors who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war—44,760 ready for military service. 19 When they waged war on the Hagrites (the Jeturites, the Naphishites, and the Nodabites), 20 they received help against them. The Hagrites and all who were with them were handed over to them, because they cried out to God in battle. God granted their prayer because they trusted in him. 21 They seized their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep and goats, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 captives. 22 Many died, because God fought the battle. They lived there in place of the inhabitants until the exile.

23 The members of half the tribe of Manasseh lived in the land from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. They were very numerous.

24 These were the heads of their households:

Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel—mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their households.

25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and faithlessly followed the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 As a result, Israel’s God stirred up the spirit of Assyria’s King Pul, otherwise known as Assyria’s King Tilgath-pilneser, who led the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the Gozan River, where they remain 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.

The Family of Reuben(A)

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel—(B)he was indeed the firstborn, but because he (C)defiled his father’s bed, (D)his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright; yet (E)Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a (F)ruler, although [a]the birthright was Joseph’s— the sons of (G)Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, and Beerah his son, whom [b]Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria (H)carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites. And his brethren by their families, (I)when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in (J)Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. Eastward they settled as far as the [c]entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had [d]multiplied (K)in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul they made war (L)with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.

The Family of Gad

11 And the (M)children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of (N)Bashan as far as (O)Salcah: 12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan, 13 and their brethren of their father’s house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber—seven in all. 14 These were the children of Abihail the 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 the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their father’s house. 16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the [e]common-lands of (P)Sharon within their borders. 17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of (Q)Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of (R)Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war. 19 They made war with the Hagrites, (S)Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And (T)they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they (U)cried out to God in the battle. He [f]heeded their prayer, because they (V)put their trust in Him. 21 Then they took away their livestock—fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys—also one hundred thousand of their men; 22 for many fell dead, because the war (W)was God’s. And they dwelt in their place until (X)the captivity.

The Family of Manasseh (East)

23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to (Y)Senir, or Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers’ houses.

25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and (Z)played the harlot after 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 (AA)Pul king of Assyria, that is, (AB)Tiglath-Pileser[g] king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to (AC)Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.
