34 3 The coasts and borders of the land of Canaan. 17 Certain men are assigned to divide the land.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan, this is the [a]land that shall fall unto your inheritance: that is, the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof.
3 (A)And your South quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin to the borders of Edom: so that your South quarter shall be from the salt Sea coast Eastward
4 And the border shall compass you from the South to [b]Maaleh Akrabbim, and reach to Zin, and go out from the South to Kadesh Barnea: thence it shall stretch to Hazar Addar, and go along to Azmon.
5 And the border shall compass from Azmon unto the [c]river of Egypt, and shall go out to the sea.
6 And your West quarter shall be [d]the great sea: even that border shall be your West coast.
7 And this shall be your North quarter, ye shall mark out your border from the great sea unto mount [e]Hor.
8 From mount Hor ye shall point out till it come unto Hamath, and the end of the coast shall be at Zedad.
9 And the coast shall reach out to Ziphron, and go out at Hazar Enan, this shall be your North quarter.
10 And ye shall mark out your East quarter from Hazar Enan to Shepham.
11 And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, and from the East side of Ain: and the same border shall descend and go out at the side of the sea of [f]Chinnereth Eastward.
12 Also that border shall go down to Jordan, and leave at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
13 ¶ Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto nine tribes, and half the tribe.
14 (B)For the tribe of the children of Reuben, according to the households of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad, according to their fathers’ households, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.
15 Two tribes and an half tribe have received their inheritance on this side of Jordan toward Jericho full East.
16 ¶ Again the Lord spake to Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: (C)Eleazar the Priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take also a [g]prince of every tribe to divide the land.
19 The names also of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 Also of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki, the son of Jogli.
23 Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the prince Hanniel the son of Ephod.
24 And of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel, the son of Shiphtan.
25 Of the tribe also of the sons of Zebulun, the prince Elizaphan, the son of Parnach.
26 So of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince Paltiel, the son of Azzan.
27 Of the tribe also of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud, the son of Shelomi.
28 And of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.
29 These are they, whom the Lord commanded to [h]divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel, in the land of Canaan.
38 Yet he being merciful, [a]forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not, but oft times called back his anger, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a wind that passeth and cometh not again.
40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness? and grieve him in the desert?
41 Yea, they [b]returned and tempted God, and [c]limited the Holy one of Israel.
42 They [d]remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy,
43 Nor him that set his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44 And turned their rivers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drink.
45 He sent [e]a swarm of flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 He [f]gave also their fruits unto the caterpillar, and their labor unto the grasshopper.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their wild fig trees with the hailstone.
48 He gave their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to the thunderbolts.
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of [g]evil angels.
50 He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life to the pestilence,
51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt, even the [h]beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of [i]Ham.
52 But he made his people to go out like sheep, and led them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Yea, he carried them out safely, and they [j]feared not, and the Sea covered their enemies.
54 And he brought them unto the borders of his [k]Sanctuary: even to this Mountain which his right hand purchased.
55 (A)He cast out the heathen also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
57 But turned back, and dealt [l]falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.
58 And they [m]provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to wrath with their graven images.
59 God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
60 So that he [n]forsook the habitation of Shiloh, even the Tabernacle where he dwelt among men,
61 And delivered his [o]power into captivity, and his beauty into the enemy’s hand.
62 And he gave up his people to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
63 The fire [p]devoured their chosen men, and their maids were not [q]praised.
64 Their Priests fell by the sword, and their [r]widows lamented not.
65 But the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and as a strong man that after his [s]wine crieth out,
66 And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetual shame.
67 Yet he refused the tabernacle of [t]Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, and mount Zion which he loved.
69 And he [u]built his Sanctuary as an high palace, like the earth, which he established forever.
70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.
71 Even from behind the ewes with young, brought he him to feed his people in Jacob, and his inheritance in Israel.
72 So [v]he fed them according to the simplicity of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
26 A song of the faithful, wherein is declared, in what consisteth the salvation of the Church, and wherein they ought to trust.
1 In that day shall [a]this song be sung in the land of Judah, We have a strong city: [b]salvation shall God set for walls and bulwarks.
2 [c]Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the truth, may enter in.
3 By an assured [d]purpose wilt thou preserve perfect peace, because they trusted in thee.
4 Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord God is strength forevermore.
5 For he will bring down them that dwell on high: [e]the high city he will abase: even unto the ground will he cast it down, and bring it unto dust.
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the [f]poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the just is righteousness: thou wilt make equal the righteous path of the just.
8 Also we, O Lord, have waited for thee in the way of thy [g]judgments: the desire of our soul is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within me will I seek thee in the morning: for seeing thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn [h]righteousness.
10 Let mercy [i]be showed to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he do wickedly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11 O Lord, they will not behold thine high hand: but they shall see it, and be confounded with [j]the zeal of the people, and the fire of thine [k]enemies shall devour them.
12 Lord unto us thou wilt ordain peace: for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
13 O Lord our God, other [l]lords beside thee, have ruled us, but we will remember thee only, and thy Name.
14 The [m]dead shall not live, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memory.
15 Thou hast increased [n]the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious, thou hast enlarged all the coasts of the earth.
16 Lord, in trouble have they [o]visited thee: they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near to the travail, is in sorrow, and crieth in her pains, so have we been in thy [p]sight, O Lord.
18 We have conceived, we have born in pain, as though we should have brought forth [q]wind: there was no help in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of [r]the world fall.
19 ¶ [s]Thy dead men shall live: even with my body shall they rise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy [t]dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 Come, my people: [u]enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors after thee: hide thyself for a very little while, until the indignation pass over.
21 For lo, the Lord cometh out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them: and the earth shall disclose her [v]blood, and shall no more hide her slain.
4 1 Having spoken somewhat touching the trying of spirits: 4 For some speak after the world, 5 and some after God. 7 He returneth to charity, 11, 19 and by the example of God he exhorteth to brotherly love.
1 Dearly [a]beloved, believe not every [b]spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: for many false Prophets are gone out into the world.
2 [c]Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, [d]Every spirit which confesseth that [e]Jesus Christ is come in the [f]flesh is of God.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whom ye have heard, how that he should come, and now already he is in this world.
4 [g]Little children, ye are of God, and have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in this world.
5 [h]They are of this world, therefore spake they of this world, and this world heareth them.
6 [i]We are of God, (A)he that knoweth God, heareth us: he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the [j]Spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 [k]Beloved, let us love one another: [l]for love cometh of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God, [m]for God is [n]love.
9 (B)Herein was that love of God made manifest amongst us, because God sent that his only begotten Son into this world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is that love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a reconciliation for our sins.
11 [o]Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 (C)[p]No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is [q]perfect in us.
13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 [r]And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Whosoever [s]confesseth that Jesus is the Son of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God.
16 And we have known, and believed the love that God hath in us, [t]God is love, and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 [u]Herein is that love perfect in us, that we should have boldness in the day of judgment: for [v]as he is, even so are we in this world.
18 There is no [w]fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath painfulness: and he that feareth, is not perfect in love.
19 [x]We love him, because he loved us first.
20 [y]If any man say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: [z]for how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen?
21 (D)[aa]And this commandment have we of him, that he that loveth God, should love his brother also.
