Healing on the Sabbath^(A)

3 And ^(B)He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand. ² So they ^(C)watched Him closely, whether He would ^(D)heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might ^[a]accuse Him. ³ And He said to the man who had the withered hand, ^[b]“Step forward.” ⁴ Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent. ⁵ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the ^(E)hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored ^[c]as whole as the other. ^6 (F)Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with ^(G)the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

A Great Multitude Follows Jesus^(H)

⁷ But Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, ^(I)and from Judea ⁸ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how ^(J)many things He was doing, came to Him. ⁹ So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the multitude, lest they should crush Him. ¹⁰ For He healed ^(K)many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to ^(L)touch Him. ^11 (M)And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, ^(N)“You are the Son of God.” ¹² But ^(O)He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.

The Twelve Apostles^(P)

^13 (Q)And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. ¹⁴ Then He appointed twelve, ^[d]that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, ¹⁵ and to have ^[e]power ^[f]to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: ^16 [g]Simon, ^(R)to whom He gave the name Peter; ¹⁷ James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”; ¹⁸ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite; ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.

Glorify God in Body and Spirit

^12 (A)All things are lawful for me, but all things are not ^[a]helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of ^[b]any. ^13 (B)Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for ^(C)sexual immorality but ^(D)for the Lord, ^(E)and the Lord for the body. ¹⁴ And ^(F)God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up ^(G)by His power.

¹⁵ Do you not know that ^(H)your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! ¹⁶ Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ^(I)“the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” ^17 (J)But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

^18 (K)Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins ^(L)against his own body. ¹⁹ Or ^(M)do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, ^(N)and you are not your own? ²⁰ For ^(O)you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body ^[c]and in your spirit, which are God’s.

The Remainder of the Land Divided

18 Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together ^(A)at Shiloh, and ^(B)set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them. ² But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.

³ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: ^(C)“How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? ⁴ Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me. ⁵ And they shall divide it into seven parts. ^(D)Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the ^(E)house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north. ⁶ You shall therefore ^[a]survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, ^(F)that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. ^7 (G)But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. ^(H)And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”

⁸ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to ^[b]survey the land, saying, “Go, walk ^(I)through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.” ⁹ So the men went, passed through the land, and ^[c]wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh. ¹⁰ Then Joshua cast ^(J)lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there ^(K)Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their ^[d]divisions.

The Land of Benjamin

^11 (L)Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. ^12 (M)Their border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven. ¹³ The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz ^(N)(which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side ^(O)of Lower Beth Horon.

¹⁴ Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ^[e]it ended at ^(P)Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

¹⁵ The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to ^(Q)the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. ¹⁶ Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before ^(R)the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the ^[f]Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to ^(S)En Rogel. ¹⁷ And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to ^(T)the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. ¹⁸ Then it passed along toward the north side of ^[g]Arabah, and went down to Arabah. ¹⁹ And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then ^[h]the border ended at the north bay at the ^(U)Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

²⁰ The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

²¹ Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, ²² Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, ²³ Avim, Parah, Ophrah, ²⁴ Chephar Haammoni, Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages; ^25 (V)Gibeon, ^(W)Ramah, Beeroth, ²⁶ Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah, ²⁷ Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, ²⁸ Zelah, Eleph, ^(X)Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

Simeon’s Inheritance with Judah

19 The ^(Y)second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. ^(Z)And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. ^2 (AA)They had in their inheritance Beersheba (Sheba), Moladah, ³ Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem, ⁴ Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah, ⁵ Ziklag, Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susah, ⁶ Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities and their villages; ⁷ Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities and their villages; ⁸ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, ^(AB)Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

⁹ The inheritance of the children of Simeon was included in the share of the children of Judah, for the share of the children of Judah was ^[i]too much for them. ^(AC)Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of ^[j]that people.

The Land of Zebulun

¹⁰ The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid. ^11 (AD)Their border went toward the west and to Maralah, went to Dabbasheth, and extended along the brook that is ^(AE)east of Jokneam. ¹² Then from Sarid it went eastward toward the sunrise along the border of Chisloth Tabor, and went out toward ^(AF)Daberath, bypassing Japhia. ¹³ And from there it passed along on the east of ^(AG)Gath Hepher, toward Eth Kazin, and extended to Rimmon, which borders on Neah. ¹⁴ Then the border went around it on the north side of Hannathon, and ^[k]it ended in the Valley of Jiphthah El. ¹⁵ Included were Kattath, Nahallal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. ¹⁶ This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

The Land of Issachar

¹⁷ The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. ¹⁸ And their territory went to Jezreel, and included Chesulloth, Shunem, ¹⁹ Haphraim, Shion, Anaharath, ²⁰ Rabbith, Kishion, Abez, ²¹ Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez. ²² And the border reached to Tabor, Shahazimah, and ^(AH)Beth Shemesh; their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. ²³ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

The Land of Asher

^24 (AI)The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. ²⁵ And their territory included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph, ²⁶ Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal; it reached to ^(AJ)Mount Carmel westward, along the Brook Shihor Libnath. ²⁷ It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, bypassing ^(AK)Cabul which was on the left, ²⁸ including ^[l]Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, ^(AL)as far as Greater Sidon. ²⁹ And the border turned to Ramah and to the fortified city of Tyre; then the border turned to Hosah, and ended at the sea by the region of ^(AM)Achzib. ³⁰ Also Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob were included: twenty-two cities with their villages. ³¹ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

The Land of Naphtali

^32 (AN)The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families. ³³ And their border began at Heleph, enclosing the territory from the terebinth tree in Zaanannim, Adami Nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; ^[m]it ended at the Jordan. ^34 (AO)From Heleph the border extended westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there toward Hukkok; it adjoined Zebulun on the south side and Asher on the west side, and ended at Judah by the Jordan toward the sunrise. ³⁵ And the fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth, ³⁶ Adamah, Ramah, Hazor, ^37 (AP)Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor, ³⁸ Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages. ³⁹ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

The Land of Dan

^40 (AQ)The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. ⁴¹ And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah, ^(AR)Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, ^42 (AS)Shaalabbin, ^(AT)Aijalon, Jethlah, ⁴³ Elon, Timnah, ^(AU)Ekron, ⁴⁴ Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, ⁴⁵ Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, ⁴⁶ Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the region ^[n]near ^[o]Joppa. ⁴⁷ And the ^(AV)border of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, ^(AW)Dan, after the name of Dan their father. ⁴⁸ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Joshua’s Inheritance

⁴⁹ When they had ^[p]made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun. ⁵⁰ According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked for, ^(AX)Timnath ^(AY)Serah in the mountains of Ephraim; and he built the city and dwelt in it.

^51 (AZ)These were the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided as an inheritance by lot ^(BA)in Shiloh before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the country.
