32 ¶ Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock, and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, it seemed unto them that the place was a place for livestock.
2 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses and to Eleazar, the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth and Dibon and Jazer and Nimrah and Heshbon and Elealeh and Shebam and Nebo and Beon,
4 the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and thy slaves have livestock.
5 Therefore, they said, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy slaves for a possession and do not make us pass the Jordan.
6 And Moses said unto the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
7 Why do ye discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 And the LORD’s anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they were not perfect in following me,
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun, for they were perfect in following the LORD.
13 And the LORD’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in the place of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave you in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
16 ¶ Then they came near unto him and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock and cities for our little ones,
17 but we ourselves will go arm ourselves and go with diligence before the sons of Israel until we have brought them unto their place, and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our houses until the sons of Israel have inherited each man his inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan or forward because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
20 Then Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will prepare yourselves to go before the LORD to the war
21 and will all pass the Jordan armed before the LORD until he has driven out his enemies from before him
22 and the land is subdued before the LORD, then afterward ye shall return and be guiltless before the LORD and before Israel, and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye shall have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will catch up with you.
24 Build cities for your little ones and folds for your sheep and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth.
25 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying, Thy slaves will do as my lord commands.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our beasts, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 but thy slaves, each one armed for war, will pass before the LORD to battle, as our lord saith.
28 ¶ So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the princes of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
29 And Moses said unto them, If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben will pass the Jordan with you, each one armed to battle, before the LORD, after the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
30 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
31 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD has said unto thy slaves, so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan shall be ours.
33 Thus Moses gave unto the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben and unto half the tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities and borders, even the cities of the country round about.
34 And the sons of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer
35 and Atroth-shophan and Jaazer and Jogbehah
36 and Bethnimrah and Bethharan, fenced cities, and also folds for sheep.
37 And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon and Elealeh and Kirjathaim
38 and Nebo and Baalmeon (their names being changed) and Shibmah and gave other names unto the cities which they built.
39 And the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it and dispossessed the Amorite who was in it.
40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
41 Jair, the son of Manasseh also went and took the small towns thereof and called them Havothjair.
42 Likewise Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages and called it Nobah, after his own name.
To the Overcomer, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 ¶ I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my sore bled in the night and ceased not; my soul refused to be comforted.
3 I remembered God and cried out; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 Thou didst hold my eyelids open; I am broken and did not speak.
5 I have considered the days from the beginning, the years of the ages.
6 I call to remembrance my songs of the night; I commune with my own heart, and my spirit made diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
8 Is his mercy gone for ever? does his word fail from generation to generation?
9 Has God forgotten to have mercy? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity, but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 ¶ I remembered the works of JAH; therefore I shall remember thy wonders of old.
12 I meditated also on all thy works and spoke of thy doings.
13 Thy way, O God, is in holiness; who is so great a God as our God?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid; the depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out floods of waters; the heavens thundered; thy bolts of lightning also went forth.
18 The voice of thy thunder was all around; the lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Thy way was in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps were not known.
20 Thou didst lead thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
24 ¶ Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it naked and turns it upside down and scatters abroad its inhabitants.
2 And it shall be, as with the people so with the priest; as with the slave so with his master; as with the maid so with her mistress; as with the buyer so with the seller; as with the lender so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury so with the giver of usury to him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word.
4 The earth has destroyed itself and fallen; the world has become sick and fallen; the haughty peoples of the earth are become sick.
5 The earth is also become bankrupt under its inhabitants because they have transgressed the laws, falsified the order, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore the curse has consumed the earth, and those that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men left.
7 The new wine is lost; the vine is sick; all those who were merryhearted sigh.
8 The mirth of tambourines ceases; the noise of those that rejoice ends; the joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; the drink shall be bitter to them that would drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened; the mirth of the land is gone.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13 ¶ For thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the peoples as the shaking of an olive tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 These shall lift up their voice; they shall sing joyfully in the majesty of the LORD; they shall lift up their voice from the sea.
15 Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the valleys; let the LORD God of Israel be called upon by name in the isles of the sea.
16 ¶ From the uttermost part of the earth we have heard psalms, Glory to the righteous one. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 And it shall come to pass that he who shall flee from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that shall come up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: because from on high, windows have been opened, and the foundations of the earth shall shake.
19 The earth shall be utterly broken down; the earth is clean dissolved; the earth is moved exceedingly.
20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard and shall be removed like a cottage; and its transgression shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall and never rise again.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall visit punishment upon the host of the high ones that are on high and upon the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 And they shall be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in the pit and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be visited.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of the hosts shall reign in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and in the presence of his ancients he shall be glorious.
2 ¶ My little children, I write these things unto you, that ye sin not; and if anyone has sinned, we have an Advocate before the Father, Jesus, the righteous Christ;
2 and he is the reconciliation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 ¶ And in this we do know that we have known him if we keep his commandments.
4 He that says, I have known him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whosoever keeps his word, in him verily is the charity of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 ¶ Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which is the truth in him and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
9 He that says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.
10 He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness and does not know where he goes, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 ¶ I write unto you, little children, that your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, that ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, that ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, that ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, that ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, that ye are strong and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away and the lust thereof, but he that does the will of God abides for ever.
18 ¶ Little children, it is the last hour, and as ye have heard that the antichrist comes, likewise there are also beginning to be many antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but this happened that it might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20 ¶ But ye have the anointing of the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you as if ye ignore the truth, but as unto those that know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This same is antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. Whosoever confesses the Son, has the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. For if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also shall continue to abide in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
26 These things I have written unto you concerning those that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abides in you, and ye do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you of all things and is truth, and is no lie; and even as it has taught you, abide ye in him.
28 ¶ And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, also know that any one that does righteousness is born of him.
