The Kingdom of Yahweh
19 Then those of the [a]Negev will (A)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the [b]Shephelah, the (B)Philistine plain;
And they will (C)possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this [c]military force of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as (D)Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad,
Will possess the (E)cities of the Negev.
21 And the (F)saviors will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the (G)kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
