18 1 The Tabernacle set in Shiloh. 4 Certain are sent to divide the land to the other seven tribes. 11 The lot of the children of Benjamin.
1 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh: for they set up the [a]Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was subject unto them.
2 Now there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, to whom [b]they had not divided their inheritance.
3 Therefore Joshua said unto the children of Israel, how long are you so slack to enter and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Give from among you for every tribe three men, that I may send them, and that they may rise and walk through the land, and distribute it according to [c]their inheritance, and return to me.
5 And that they may divide it unto them into seven parts, (Judah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Joseph shall [d]stand in their coasts at the North.)
6 Ye shall describe the land therefore into seven parts, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the [e]Lord our God.
7 But the Levites shall have no part among you: for the [f]Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond Jordan Eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
8 ¶ Then the men arose, and went their way, and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Depart, and go through the land, and [g]describe it, and return to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the Lord in Shiloh.
9 So the men departed, and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and returned to Joshua into the camp at Shiloh.
10 ¶ Then Joshua [h]cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel, according to their portions.
11 ¶ And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came forth according to their families, and the cost of their lot lay [i]between the children of Judah, and the children of Joseph.
12 And their coast on the North side was from Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the North part, and went up through the mountains Westward, and the ends thereof are in the wilderness of Beth Aven:
13 And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, even to the South side of Luz (the same is [j]Bethel) and this border descendeth to Ataroth Addar, near the mount that lieth on the South side of Beth Horon the nether.
14 So the border turneth, and compasseth the corner of the Sea Southward, from the mount that lieth before Beth Horon Southward: and the ends thereof are at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim) a city of the children of Judah: this is the West quarter.
15 And the South quarter is from the end of Kirjath Jearim, and this border goeth out [k]Westward, and cometh to the fountain of waters of Nephtoah.
16 And this border descendeth at the end of the mountain, that lieth before the valley of Ben Hinnom, which is in the valley of the [l]giants Northward, and descendeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of [m]Jebus Southward, and goeth down to En Rogel,
17 And compasseth from the North, and goeth forth to [n]En Shemesh, and stretcheth to Geliloth, which is toward the going up unto Adummim, and goeth down to the (A)stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 So it goeth along to the side over against the plain Northward, and goeth down into the plain.
19 After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth Hoglah Northward: and the ends thereof, that is, of the border, reach to the point of the salt Sea Northward, and to the [o]end of Jordan Southward: this is the South coast.
20 Also Jordan is the border of it on the East side: this is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, are Jericho, and Beth Hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 And Beth Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 And Chephar, Haammoni, and Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpah, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebus, (which is [p]Jerusalem) Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages: this is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to their families.
19 1 The portion of Simeon, 10 Of Zebulun, 17 Of Issachar, 24 Of Asher, 32 Of Naphtali, 40 Of Dan. 49 The possession of Joshua.
1 And the second lot came out to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon, according to their families: and their inheritance was in the [q]midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.
2 Now they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,
3 And Hazar Shual, and Balah, and Ezem,
4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 And Ziklag, and Beth Marcaboth, and Hazar Susah,
6 And Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities with their villages.
7 Ain, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan: four cities with their villages.
8 And all the villages that were round about these cities, unto Baalath Beer, and [r]Ramah, Southward: this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon, according to their families.
9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah came the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too [s]much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within their inheritance.
10 ¶ Also the third lot arose for the children of Zebulun, according to their families: and the coasts of their inheritance came to Sarid,
11 And their border goeth up [t]Westward, even to Maralah, and reacheth to Dabbasheth, and meeteth with the river that lieth before Jokneam,
12 And turneth from Sarid Eastward toward the Sun rising unto the border of Chisloth Tabor, and goeth out to Daberath, and ascendeth to Japhia,
13 And from thence goeth along Eastward toward the Sun rising to Gath Hepher, to Eth Kazin, and goeth forth to Rimmon, and turneth to Neah.
14 And this border compasseth it on the North side to Hannathon, and the ends thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah El,
15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and [u]Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun, according to their families, that is, these cities and their villages.
17 ¶ The fourth lot came out to Issachar, even for the children of Issachar, according to their families.
18 And their coast was Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
19 And Haphraim, and Shion, and Anaharath,
20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
21 And Remeth, and [v]En Gannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez.
22 And this coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Beth Shemesh, and the ends of their coast reach to Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.
23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families: that is, the cities and their villages.
24 ¶ Also the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
25 And their coast was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Mishal, and came to Carmel Westward, and to Shihor Libnath,
27 And turneth toward the Sun rising to Beth Dagon, and cometh to [w]Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthah El, toward the North side of Beth Emek, and Neiel, and goeth out on the left side of Cabul,
28 And to Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, unto great Sidon.
29 Then the coast turneth to Ramah and to the strong city of [x]Zor, and this border turneth to Hosah, and the ends thereof are at the Sea from Hebel to Achzib,
30 Ummah also and Aphek, and Rehob: two and twenty cities with their villages.
31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher, according to their families: that is, these cities and their villages.
32 ¶ The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even to the children of Naphtali according to their families.
33 And their coast was from [y]Heleph, and from Allon in Zaanannim, and Adami Nekeb, and Jabneel, even to Lakkum, and the ends thereof are at Jordan.
34 So this coast turneth Westward to Aznoth Tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the South side, and goeth to Asher on the West side, and to Judah [z]by Jordan toward the sun rising.
35 And the strong cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and [aa]Chinnereth,
36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En Hazor,
38 And Iron, and Migdal El, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages.
39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families: that is, the cities and their villages.
40 ¶ The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families.
41 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir Shemesh,
42 And Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Jethlah,
43 And Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,
44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
45 And Jehud, and Bene Berak, and Gath Rimmon,
46 And Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border that lieth before [ab]Japho.
47 But the coast of the children of Dan fell out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to [ac]fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, (B)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: that is, these cities and their villages.
49 ¶ When they had made an end of dividing the land by the coasts thereof, then the children of Israel gave an inheritance unto Joshua the son of Nun among them.
50 According to the word of the Lord they gave him the city which he asked, even (C)Timnath Serah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city and dwelt therein.
51 (D)These are the heritages which Eleazar the Priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: so they made an end of dividing the country.
149 1 An exhortation to the Church to praise the Lord for his victory and conquest, that he giveth his Saints against all man’s power.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Sing ye unto the Lord [a]a new song: let his praise be heard in the Congregation of Saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that [b]made him, and let the children of Zion rejoice in their [c]King.
3 Let them praise his Name with the flute: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord hath pleasure in his people: he will make the meek glorious by deliverance.
5 Let the Saints be joyful with glory: let them sing loud upon their [d]beds.
6 Let the high Acts of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hands,
7 [e]To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and corrections among the people:
8 To bind [f]their kings in chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron,
9 That they may execute upon them the judgment that is [g]written: this honor shall be to all his Saints. Praise ye the Lord.
150 1 An exhortation to praise the Lord without cease by all manner of ways for all his mighty and wonderful works.
Praise ye the Lord.
1 Praise ye God in his [h]Sanctuary: praise ye him in the [i]firmament of his power.
2 Praise ye him in his mighty Acts: praise ye him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise ye him in the sound of the [j]trumpet: praise ye him upon the viol and the harp.
4 Praise ye him with timbrel and flute: praise ye him with virginals and organs.
5 Praise ye him with sounding cymbals: praise ye him with high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that hath [k]breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
9 1 The complaint of the Prophet for the malice of the people. 24 In the knowledge of God ought we only to rejoice. 26 The uncircumcision of the heart.
1 Oh, that mine head were full of [a]water, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness a [b]cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them: for they be all [c]adulterers, and an assembly of rebels.
3 And they bend their tongues like their bows for [d]lies: but they have no courage for the truth upon the earth, for they proceed from evil to worse, and they have not known me, saith the Lord.
4 Let everyone take heed of his neighbor, and trust you not in any [e]brother: for every brother will use deceit, and every friend will deal deceitfully,
5 And everyone will deceive his friend, and will not speak the truth: for they [f]have taught their tongue to speak lies, and take great pains to do wickedly.
6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceivers: [g]because of their deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will [h]melt them, and try them: for what should I else do for the daughter of my people?
8 Their tongue (A)is as an arrow shot out, and speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Upon the [i]mountains will I take up a weeping and a lamentation, and upon the fair places of the wilderness a mourning, because they are burnt up, so that none can pass through them, neither can men hear the voice of the flock: both the fowl of the air, and the beast are fled away and gone.
11 And I will make Jerusalem an heap, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Judah waste without an inhabitant.
12 Who is [j]wise to understand this? and to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, even he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
13 And the Lord saith, because they have forsaken my Law, which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
14 But have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after Baal, which [k]their fathers taught them.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them waters of gall [l]to drink:
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Take heed, and call for [m]the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skillful women, that they may come,
18 And let them make haste, and let them take up a lamentation for us, that our eyes may cast out tears, and our eyelids gush out of water.
19 For a lamentable noise is heard out of Zion, How are we destroyed, and utterly confounded, for we have forsaken the land, and our dwellings [n]have cast us out.
20 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ears regard the words of his mouth, and [o]teach your daughters to mourn, and everyone her neighbor to lament.
21 For death is come up into our [p]windows, and is entered into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the young men in the streets.
22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, The carcasses of men shall lie, even as the dung upon the field, and as the handful after the mower, and none shall gather them.
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the [q]wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the strong man glory in his strength, neither the rich man glory in his riches.
24 But let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which [r]show mercy, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
25 Behold, the days come saith the Lord, that I will visit all them which are [s]circumcised with the uncircumcised:
26 Egypt and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the utmost corners of them that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
23 2 How the Scribes teaching the people the Law of Moses, behave themselves. 5 Their Phylacteries, and Fringes. 7 Greetings. 8 We are brethren. 9 The Father. 10 The servant. 13 To shut the kingdom of heaven. 14 To devour widow’s houses. 15 A Proselyte. 16 To swear by the Temple. 23 To tithe mint. 25 To cleanse the outside of the cup. 27 Painted sepulchers. 33 Serpents, vipers. 37 The Hen.
1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 [a]Saying, The (A)Scribes and the Pharisees [b]sit in Moses’ seat.
3 [c]All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but after their works do not: for they say, and do not.
4 (B)[d]For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 [e]All their works they do for to be seen of men: for they make their [f]phylacteries broad, and make long [g]the (C)fringes of their garments,
6 (D)And love the chief place at feasts, and to have the chief seats in the [h]assemblies,
7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, [i]Rabbi.
8 (E)[j]But be not ye [k]called, Rabbi: for [l]one is your doctor, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9 And (F)call no man your [m]father upon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heaven.
10 Be not called [n]doctors: for one is your doctor, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your servant.
12 (G)For whosoever [o]will exalt himself, shall be brought low: and whosoever will humble himself, shall be exalted.
13 ¶ [p]Woe therefore be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, [q]hypocrites, because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: for ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that would [r]enter, to come in.
14 (H)[s]Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour widows’ houses, even [t]under a color of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and [u]land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell, than you yourselves.
16 Woe be unto you blind guides, which say, Whosoever sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the gold of the Temple, he [v]offendeth.
17 Ye fools and blind, Whether is greater, the gold, or the Temple that [w]sanctifieth the gold?
18 And whosoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the offering that is upon it, offendeth.
19 Ye fools and blind, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
20 Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 (I)And whosoever sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 (J)And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the [x]throne of God, and by him that sitteth theron.
23 ¶ (K)[y]Woe be to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and leave the weightier matters of the law, as judgment, and mercy and [z]fidelity. These ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 ¶ [aa]Woe be to you, (L)Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye make clean the utter side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are full of bribery and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe be to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are like unto whited tombs, which appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and all filthiness.
28 So are ye also: for outward ye appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 (M)[ab]Woe be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye build the tombs of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the Prophets.
31 So then ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them that murdered the Prophets.
32 [ac]Fulfill ye also the measure of your fathers.
33 O serpents, the generation of vipers, how should ye escape the damnation of [ad]hell!
34 [ae]Wherefore behold, I send unto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucify: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from city to city,
35 [af]That upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth, (N)from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zechariah the son of [ag]Berechiah, (O)whom ye slew between the Temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
37 (P)[ah]Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I have [ai]gathered thy children together, as the hen gathered her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your habitation shall be left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth till that ye say, Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord.
