36 Then, the chief fathers of the family of the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came, and spoke before Moses, and before the Princes (the chief fathers of the children of Israel),
2 and said, “The LORD Commanded my lord to give the land to inherit by lot to the children of Israel. And my lord was Commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad, our brother, to his daughters.
3 “If they are married to any of the sons of the tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers and shall be put into the inheritance of the tribe into which they shall be married. So, it shall be taken away from the lot of our inheritance.
4 “Also, when the Jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance shall be put into the inheritance of the tribe into which they shall be married. So, their inheritance shall be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.”
5 Then Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the Word of the LORD, saying, “The tribe of the sons of Joseph have said well.
6 “This is the thing that the LORD has Commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, ‘They shall be wives to whom they think best. Only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.’
7 “So, the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not move from tribe to tribe. For every one of the children of Israel shall join himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
8 “And every daughter who possesses any inheritance of the tribes of the children of Israel shall be wife to one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that each of the children of Israel may enjoy the inheritance of their fathers.
9 “Nor shall the inheritance go about from tribe to tribe, but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall stick to his own inheritance.”
10 As the LORD Commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad.
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah (the daughters of Zelophehad) were married to their father’s brother’s sons.
12 They were wives of the families of the sons of Manasseh, the son of Joseph. So, their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
13 These are the Commandments and Laws which the LORD commanded, by the hand of Moses, to the children of Israel, on the plain of Moab, by Jordan, toward Jericho.
80 Hear, O You Shepherd of Israel, You Who leads Joseph like sheep. Show Your brightness, You Who sits between the Cherubims.
2 Stir up Your strength before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh and come to help us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause Your face to shine, so that we may be saved.
4 O LORD God of Hosts, how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink with great measure.
6 You have made us a point of contention to our neighbors; and our enemies laugh at us among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of Hosts. Cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt. You have cast out the heathen and planted it.
9 You made room for it, and caused it to take root, and it filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it; and the boughs thereof were like the pleasant cedars.
11 She stretched out her branches to the sea, and her boughs to the river.
12 Why have You broken down her hedges, so that all those who pass by the way have plucked her?
13 The wild boar, out of the wood, has destroyed it; and the wild beasts of the field have eaten it up.
14 Return, we beg You, O God of Hosts! Look down from Heaven and behold, and visit this vine
15 and the vineyard that Your right hand has planted, and the young vine which You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burnt with fire and cut down. They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, and upon the son of man whom You made strong for Your own self,
18 so we will not go back from You. Revive us, and we shall call upon Your Name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of Hosts! Cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved. To him who excels upon Gittith: A Psalm committed to Asaph
28 Woe to the crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim. For his glorious beauty shall be as a fading flower upon the head of the valley of fatness to those who are overcome with wine.
2 Behold, the LORD has a mighty and strong one, like a tempest of hail, a whirlwind that overthrows, like a tempest of mighty waters that overflow, which throw to the ground mightily.
3 They shall be trampled underfoot: the crown, the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim.
4 For his glorious beauty shall be as a fading flower upon the head of the valley of fatness, as the first fruits before Summer. When one has looked upon it, he sees it. And while it is in his hand, he eats it.
5 On that day, shall the LORD of Hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the residue of His people,
6 and for a spirit of judgment to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn away the battle at the gate.
7 But they have erred because of wine and are out of the way due to strong drink. The priest and the prophet have erred by strong drink. They are swallowed up with wine. They have gone astray through strong drink. They fail in vision. They stumble in judgment.
8 For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting. No place is clean.
9 To whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make understand the things that he hears? Those who are weaned from the milk drawn from the breasts.
10 For “precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.”
11 For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language he shall speak to this people,
12 to whom He said, “This is the rest: give rest to him who is weary.” And, “This is the refreshing.” But they would not hear.
13 Therefore shall the Word of the LORD be to them “precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line unto line, line unto line, here a little, there a little”, so that they may go and fall backward and be broken and be snared and be taken.
14 Therefore, hear the Word of the LORD, you scornful men who rule this people who are at Jerusalem,
15 because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, and with Hell are we in agreement. Though a scourge run over and pass through, it shall not come at us, for we have made falsehood our refuge, and under vanity are we hidden.”
16 Therefore, thus says the LORD God: “Behold, I will lay a stone in Zion, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. He who believes shall not hurry.
17 “I will also lay judgment to the rule, and righteousness to the balance. And the hail shall sweep away the vain confidence. And the waters shall overflow the secret place.
18 “And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand. When a scourge shall run over and pass through, then shall you be trampled down by it.
19 “When it passes over, it shall take you away. For it shall pass through every morning, in the day and in the night. And there shall be only fear to make you understand the hearing.”
20 For the bed is so short that it cannot suffice, and the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself.
21 For the LORD shall stand, as on Mount Perazim. He shall be angry, as in the Valley of Gibeon, so that He may do His work (His strange work) and bring to pass His act (His strange act).
22 Now, therefore, do not be mockers, lest your bonds increase. For I have heard the LORD of Hosts has determined a consumption upon the whole Earth.
23 Listen and hear my voice! Listen and hear my speech!
24 Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and break the clots of his ground?
25 When he has made it level, will he not then sow the black cumin, and sow cumin, and cast in wheat by measure, and the appointed barley and rye in their place?
26 For his God instructs him to have discretion, teaches him.
27 For black cumin shall not be threshed with a threshing instrument, nor shall a cartwheel be turned upon the cumin. But the black cumin is beaten out with a staff, and cumin with a rod.
28 Bread (when it is threshed) he does not always thresh, nor does the wheel of his cart make a noise, nor will he break it with its teeth.
29 This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel, excellent in works.
1 The elder, To the elect Lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not only me but also all who have known the truth
2 for the truth’s sake, which dwells in us and shall be with us forever:
3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, with truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found some of your children walking in truth, as per the Commandment we have received from the Father.
5 And now I encourage you, Lady, (not as writing a new Commandment to you, but the same which we had from the beginning) that we love one another.
6 And this is the love that we should walk in: His Commandments. This is the Commandment. As you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
7 For many deceivers have entered into this world, who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is a deceiver and an Antichrist.
8 Watch yourselves, so that we do not lose the things which we have done. But that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses, and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. The one who continues in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, neither greet him nor receive him into your house.
11 For the one who greets him shares in his evil deeds. Although I had many things to write to you, I would rather not write with paper and ink. But I trust to come to you and speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be full.
12 The sons of your elect Sister greet you. Amen.
