And it will be in the seventh time the priests clanged with the trumpets and Joshua will say to the people, Shout; for Jehovah gave to you the city.

186

And Joshua will say to Achan, My son, set now, honor to Jehovah the God of Israel, and give to him confession; and announce now to me what thou didst; thou shalt not hide from me.

187

And the men will say to her, We are free from this thine oath which thou caused us to swear.

188

And the word will be good in the eves of the sons of Israel; and the sons of Israel will bless God, and they said not to go up against them to war to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt in it

189

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest will say to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Manasseh, This day we knew that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because ye transgressed not this transgression against Jehovah: then ye delivered the sons of Israel from the hand of Jehovah.

190

And he will bring near his house according to the men, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, to the tribe of Judah, will be taken.

191

And the priests lifting up the ark standing in the midst of Jordan, till all was finished which Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all which Moses commanded Joshua: and the people will haste and will pass through.

192

The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

193

The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

194

And the bound of Og, king of Bashan, being left of the Rephaims dwelling in Aahtaroth and in Edrei,

195

And the bound of the sons of Reuben shall be Jordan and the boundary. This the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, their cities and their enclosures.

196

In the plain Eshtaol and Zoreah, and Ashnah,

197

The king of Dor of the heights of Dor, one; the king of the nations to Gilgal, one;

198

The king of Kadesh, one; the king of Jokneam to Carmel, one;

199

And their bound shall be to them, Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, even to Aroer, which is upon the face of Rabbah;

200

The king of Tirzah, one; all the kings, thirty and one.

201

Then Joshua will build an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel in mount Ebal.

202

And the five kings of the Amorites will be gathered together and will come up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, they and all their camps, and they will encamp against Gibeon, and they will war against her.

203

And Hazor-Shual and the Well of the Oath, and Bizjothjah,

204

And Joshua will pass by and all Israel with him from Makkedah to Libnah, and will fight with Libnah.

205

And it will be said to the king of Jericho, Behold, men came here this night from the sons of Israel to search out the land.

206

And I shall see in the plunder a wide cloak of Shinar, a good one, and two hundred shekels of silver and one tongue of gold of fifty shekels from its weight, and I shall desire them, and shall take them, and behold them hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

207

Behold, we come into the land, thou shalt bind the line of this scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by it: and thy father and thy mother and thy brethren, and all thy father's house thou shalt gather to thee to the house.

208

And the men of Gibeon will send to Joshua to the camp of Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hands from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites inhabiting the mountain gathered themselves together against us.

209

And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad will call to the altar: for it is a witness between us that Jehovah is their God.

210

And they will smite every soul which is in it with the mouth of the sword, exterminating: and no breath was left: and he burnt Hazor in fire.

211

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, Thou shalt not be afraid of their face: for to-morrow about this time I gave them all wounded before Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses and their chariots thou shalt burn in fire.

212

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, Thou shalt not be afraid of them, for into thy hands I gave them; a man of them shall not stand before thee.

213

And the men will take of their food, and they asked not the mouth of Jehovah.

214

And Hazor-Gaddah, and Heshmon and the House of Escape,

215

And these the kings of the land which Joshua smote, and the sons of Israel, on the other side Jordan to the sea, from lord Gad in the plain of Lebanon, and even to the smooth mountain going up to Seir; and Joshua will give it to the tribes of Israel an inheritance, according to their divisions;

216

The Canaanite from the sun-rising and from the sea, and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountain, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

217

And Joshua will take Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the wide cloak, and the tongue of gold, and his sons and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep and his tent, and all which is to him, and all Israel with him, and they will bring them up to the valley of Achor.

218

And if thou shalt announce this our word, and we were free from thine oath which thou didst cause us to swear.

219

And Joshua will make peace to them, and will cut out to them a covenant to preserve them alive: and the chiefs of the assembly sware to them.

220

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, Thou shalt not fear, and thou shalt not be terrified: take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I gave into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people and his city and his land:

221

And Achan will answer Joshua and will say, Truly, I sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and according to this, and according to this I did.

222

And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, (this is Jerusalem) Gibeah city; fourteen cities and their enclosures. This the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

223

Sihon, king of the Amorites, dwelling in Heshbon, he ruled from Aroer, which is upon the lip of the torrent Arnon, and between the torrent and half Gilead, and even to the torrent Jabbok, the boundary of the sons of Ammon;

224

About forty thousand drawn out for war, passed over before Jehovah to war, to the desert of Jericho.

225

And she will say, According to your words so be it. And she will send them away and they will go: and she will bind the scarlet cord in the window.

226

And it was all which went forth out of the doors of thy house without, his blood upon his head and we are free, and all which shall be with thee in the house, his blood upon our head if a hand shall be upon him.

227

Amam and Shema and Moladah,

228

And to the kings that were from the north upon the mountain, and in the desert south of Cinneroth, and in the valley, and in the height of Dor from the sea,

229

And the desert even to the sea of Cinneroth from the sunrising, and even to the sea of the desert, the salt sea, from the sunrising, the way of the house of Jeshimoth; and from the south under the ravines of Pisgah:

230

This the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families their cities and their enclosures.

231

And all these kings will meet by appointment, and they will come and will encamp together at the water of Merom, to war with Israel.

232

And they will go, and will come to the mountain, and will dwell there three days till they pursuing turned back: and they pursuing will seek in all the way, and they found not

233

And it will be as all the people finished passing over, and the ark of Jehovah will pass through, and the priests before the people.

234

The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

235

And they will command the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites lifting it up, and ye shall remove from your place and go after it.

236

And the sons of Israel will remove and will come to their cities in the third day. And their cities, Gibe-on and Chephirah and Barith, and Kirjath-Jearim.

237

And Jehovah will give them into the hand of Israel, and they will smite them, and they will pursue them, even to great Zidon, and even to Misrephoth-Maim, and even to the valley of Mizpeh from the sunrising; and he will smite them till none was left to them escaping.

238

And Joshua will come to them suddenly, all night he went up from Gilgal.

239

Come up to me and help me, and we will smite Gibeon, because she made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.

240

In the mountain and in the plain and in the desert, and in the ravines and in the desert, and in the south, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite:

241

And it will be when all the kings hear which are on the other side Jordan, in the mountain and in the plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and in front of Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite;

242

And the people came up out of Jordan in the tenth to the first month, and they will encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity of the sunrising of Jericho.

243

And Joshua will come, and all the people of war with him, upon them by the water of Merom suddenly, and they will fall upon them.

244

And he ruled in mount Hermon and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, even to the bound of Geshurite and the Maachathite and half Gilead, the bound of Sihon, king of Heshbon.

245

And the sons of Reuben will pass through, and the sons of Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh, brave in battle, before the sons of Israel, as Moses spake to them.

246

Ailon and her area, and the Press of the Pomegranate and her area: four cities.

247

So that all the people of the earth knew the hand of Jehovah that it is strong: so that ye shall fear Jehovah your God all the days.

248

And Baalah and Iim and Azem,

249

Moses the servant of Jehovah, and the sons of Israel, smote them: and Moses the servant of Jehovah will give it a possession to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh.

250

And Joshua will do to them as Jehovah said to him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots in fire.

251

And it will be from the end of three days and the scribes will pass through in the midst of the camp.

252

And the two men will turn back and come down from the mountain, and will pass over, and will come to Joshua the son of Nun, and will recount to him all things having found them.

253

And they will come forth, they, and their camps with them, many people, as the sand upon the lip of the sea for multitude, and horse and chariot exceeding many.

254

And the bones of Joseph which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in a portion of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem, for a hundred weight; and they will be to the sons of Joseph for an inheritance.

255

Jarmuth and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,

256

The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

257

And she will say, Thou wilt give to me a blessing; for a south land thou gavest me, and give to me springs of water: and he will give to her the springs above and the springs beneath.

258

And Joshua will come up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty of strength.

259

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, saying,

260

And they will say to Joshua that Jehovah gave into our hand all the land; and also all the inhabitants of the land melted from before us.

261

And a man was not left in Ai and the house of God, who will not go forth after Israel: and they will leave the city opened and will pursue after Israel.

262

And they burnt the city in fire and all which is in it: only the silver and the gold and the vessels of brass and iron they gave to the treasury of the house of Jehovah.

263

And Joshua son of Nun will send out of Shittim two men spying silently, saying, Go see the land and Jericho. And they will go, and will come to the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name Rahab; and they will lie there.

264

And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

265

And to the two men spying the land Joshua said, Go in to the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring forth from thence the woman and all which is to her, as ye sware to her.

266

And these twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, Joshua set in Gilgal.

267

And the sun will be silent, and the moon stood, till the people will be avenged upon its enemies. Is it not written upon the book of the upright? and the sun will stand in the half of the heavens, and it hasted not to go down for a whole day.

268

And from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh and her area, and Gibbethon and her area,

269

The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai which is beside the house of God, one;

270

And they will raise up upon him a great heap of stones even till this day. And Jehovah will turn back from the wrath of his anger: for this, the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, even to this day.

271

That Jehovah your God dried up the water of Jordan from before you till your passing through as Jehovah your God did to the sea of sedge which he dried up from before us till our passing through:

272

And Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father and all which is to her, Joshua preserved alive; and she will dwell in the midst of Israel till this day, because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent out to spy Jericho.

273

And the sons of Israel smote them not, for the chiefs of the assembly sware to them by Jehovah the God of Israel. And all the assembly will murmur against the chiefs.

274

And Joshua son of Nun will call to the priests and say to them, Lift up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall lift up seven trumpets of signals before the ark of Jehovah.

275

In that day Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel, and they will fear him as they feared Moses all the days of his life.

276

And he will say to the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask their fathers to-morrow, saying, What these stones?

277

And the men of Ai will turn back behind them and will see, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to the heavens, and there was not with them hands to flee hither and thither: and the people having fled, turned back to the pursuers.

278

The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

279

As Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the sons of Israel, as it was written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of stones complete; which iron was not lifted up upon them: and they will bring up upon it burnt-offerings to Jehovah, and will sacrifice peace.

280

And the ambush rose quickly from its place, and they will run when he stretched out his hand: and they will come into the city and take it, and they will hasten and set the city on fire.

281

And Joshua will send men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the house of Ain, from the east, to the house of God, and he will say to them, saying, Go up and spy the land. And the men will go up and will spy Ai

282

And Joshua will make to him swords of stone and will circumcise the sons of Israel at the hill of uncircumcisions:

283

And Jehovah will be with Joshua; and his fame will be in all the land.

284

And it will be in the priests lifting up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah coming up from the midst of Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests were plucked up to the dry land, and the waters of Jordan will turn back to their place and will go as yesterday the third day, over all its banks.

285

And seven priests shall lift up seven trumpets of alarms before the ark: and in the seventh day ye shall encompass the city seven times, and the priests shall clang the trumpets.

286

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, See, I gave into thy hand Jericho and her king, and the mighty ones of strength.

287

And they will take them from the midst of the tent and will bring them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they will pour them out before Jehovah.

288

And Joshua will command the priests, saying, Come up out of Jordan.

289

Take to you from the people twelve men, one man, one man from a tribe;

290

For all the people coming out were circumcised; and all the people born in the desert in the way, in their coming out of Egypt, were not circumcised.

291

Command the priests lifting up the ark of the testimony, and they shall come up out of Jordan.

292

Only be strong and be greatly active, to watch to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee: thou shalt not turn aside from it to the right and to the left, so that thou shalt be wise in all things where thou shalt go.

293

And it will be from the end of three days after they cut out a covenant to them, and they will hear that they are near to him, and they dwell in the midst of him.

294

And this the reason that Joshua circumcised: all the people came forth out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the desert in the way, in their coming out of Egypt

295

And command ye them, saying, Take up to you from hence out of the midst of Jordan from the firm standing of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and pass them over with you, and deposit them in the lodging place where ye shall remain in it the night.

296

And the king of Ai he hung upon the tree till the time of evening: and when the sun went down Joshua commanded and they will take down his carcass from the tree and cast it at the opening of the gate of the city, and they will set upon it a great heap of stones till this day.

297

And Joshua will send messengers, and they will run to the tent, and behold, the hiding in his tent, and the silver under it

298

And the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua did to Jericho and to Ai.

299

And it was in prolonging upon the horn of the jubilee in your hearing, the voice of the trumpet, and all the people shall shout a great shout: and the walls of the city shall fall under it, and the people went up each before him.

300

And the king of Ai they seized, living, and they will bring him to Joshua.

301

And the young men spying will go in and bring forth Rehab, and her father and her mother and her brethren, and all which is to her; and all her families they will bring forth, and they will leave them without the camp of Israel

302

And Joshua will burn Ai and set it a heap forever, a waste even to this day.

303

And Joshua will call to the twelve men whom he prepared from the sons of Israel, one man, one man from a tribe:

304

And Joshua will say, Why didst thou trouble us? Jehovah will trouble thee in this day, and all Israel will stone him with stone, and they will burn them in fire, and they will stone them with stones.

305

And Kirjathaim and Libnah, and Zarath-Shahar in the mountain of the valley,

306

And it will be, all falling in that day from men, even to women, twelve thousand; all the men of Ai.

307

And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush took the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, and they will turn back and smite the men of Ai.

308

And make ye known to your sons, saying, Upon dry land Israel passed through this Jordan.

309

And the men of Ai will smite of them about thirty and six men; and they will pursue them before the gate, even to Shebarim; and they will smite them in going down, and the heart of the people will melt and will be as water.

310

And it will be in her going forth she will stimulate him to ask from her father a field: and she will descend from the ass, and Caleb will say to her, What to thee?

311

And do to Ai and to her king as thou didst to Jericho and to her king: only its plunder and her cattle ye shall plunder to yourselves: set to thee an ambush to the city from behind it.

312

Only the cattle and spoil of that city Israel plundered to themseves, according to the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.

313

And Joshua will say to all the people, So said Jehovah the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt beyond the river from everlasting time, Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor and they will serve other gods.

314

And Joshua will rise, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua will choose thirty thousand men mighty of strength, and he will send them by night

315

And their bound shall be from the two camps, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities.

316

And encompass the city all ye men of war, and surround the city one time: so shalt thou do six days.

317

And they will turn back to Joshua, and will say to him, All the people shall not go up; about two thousand men or about three thousand men shall go up and smite Ai: thou shalt not weary there all the people for they few.

318

And they will go up there from the people about three thousand men: and they will flee from the face of the men of Ai.

319

And Joshua will say, Ah! Lord Jehovah, wherefore, passing over, didst thou cause this people to pass over Jordan, to give us into the hand of the Amorite, to destroy us? and would we were contented and dwelt on the other side of Jordan

320

And it was when ye seize the city, ye shall set the city on fire: according to the word of Jehovah ye shall do: See, I commanded you.

321

Jehovah gave the bound of our sons and your sons, ye sons of Reuben and sons of Gad; Jordan not to you a part in Jehovah. And your sons caused our sons to cease from fearing Jehovah.

322

This we will do to them, and preserve them alive; and anger shall not be upon us for the oath that we sware to them.

323

And Joshua turned not back his hand which he stretched out with the spear till he exterminated all the inhabitants of Ai.

324

And they will come out after us, and we drew them away from the city, for they will say, They flee before us as at the first: and we fled before their face.

325

And all the chiefs will say to all the assembly, We sware to them by Jehovah the God of Israel: and now we shall not be able to touch upon them.

326

And he will command them, saying. See, ye lie in wait against the city, behind the city: ye shall not be far off from the city greatly, and be ye all of you prepared:

327

And they will answer Joshua, and will say, Because being announced, it was announced to thy servants that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses his servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all inhabiting the land from before you, and we shall be greatly afraid for our souls from your face; and we shall do this word.

328

And ye shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city: and Jehovah your God gave it into your hand.

329

And I and all the people that are with me will draw near to the city: and it was when they shall come forth to our meeting as at the first, and we fled before them.

330

And the chiefs will say to them, They shall live; and shall be cutting wood and drawing water to all the assembly as the chiefs spake to them.

331

And now ye are cursed, and there shall not be cut off from you to serve, and hewing wood and drawing water for the house of my God.

332

And Joshua will call to them and will speak to them, saying, For what did ye deceive us, saying, We are very far from you?. and ye dwell in the midst of us.

333

And now, behold us in thy hand: as is good and as is right in your eyes to do to us, do.

334

Be strong and be active; for thou shalt cause Israel to inherit the land which I sware to their fathers to give to them.

335

And they will do in guile, and will go and will lay snares, and will take sacking worn out, for their asses, and leather sacks of wine worn out, and being rent and bound up;

336

And the bound struck upon Tabor, and Shahazimah, and the House of the Sun; and the outgoings of their bounds were Jordan: sixteen cities and their enclosures.

337

And Joshua will give them in that day hewing wood and drawing water for the assembly and for the altar of Jehovah till this day, to the place which he shall choose.

338

And the men of Israel will say to the Hivite, Perhaps thou shalt dwell in the midst of me, and I shall not make a covenant to thee.

339

Moses my servant died; and now arise, pass through this Jordan, thou and all this people, to the land which I gave to them to the sons of Israel.

340

And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they will bury him in Gibeah of Phinehas his son, which he gave to him in mount Ephraim.

341

And they will come to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and will say to him and to the men of Israel, From a land far off we came: and now cut out to us a covenant.

342

And they will gather together to fight with Joshua and with Israel with one mouth.

343

And he will do so to them, and he will deliver them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they slew them not

344

And shoes worn out and mended, upon their feet, and garments worn out upon them; and all the bread of their food dry; it was crumbs.

345

This the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.

346

And the sons of Israel will transgress a transgression in the devoted thing: and Achan, son of Carmi son of Zabdi, son of Zerah to the tribe; of Judah, will take from the devoted thing: and the anger of Jehovah will kindle against the sons of Israel

347

And Joshua an old man going in days; and Jehovah will say to him, Thou wert old, going in days, and the land being left very great to possess it

348

And they will say to him, From a land very far off thy servants came, for the name of Jehovah thy God; for we heard his fame and all that he did in Egypt

349

And the House of the Desert, and Zemaraim, and the House of God,

350

And they will cry to Jehovah, and he will put darkness between you and between Egypt, and he will bring the sea upon him, and will cover him; and your eyes will see what I did in Egypt; and ye shall dwell in the desert many days.

351

And they will say to Joshua, We thy servants. And Joshua will say to them, Who are ye? and from whence will ye come?

352

And the sons of Judah will come near to Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb, son of Jephunneh will say to him, Thou knewest the word which Jehovah spake to Moses the man of God on account of me and on account of thee in Kadesh-Barnea.

353

And Jehovah will give to Israel all the land which he sware to give to their fathers: and they will inherit it and dwell in it

354

And Jericho was shut up; and being shut up from before the sons of Israel, none will come out and none came in.

355

Every place which the sole of your foot shall tread upon it, to you I gave it as I spake to Moses.

356

And Kinah and Dinonah and Adadah,

357

And Joshua will gather together all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and he will call for the old men of Israel, and for the heads, and for the judges, and for the scribes; and they will stand before God.

358

And Jehovah will say to Joshua, This day I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he will call the name of that place Gilgal till this day.

359

And they will devote all which in the city, from man and even to woman, and from the youth even to the old man, and ox and sheep and ass, to the mouth of the sword.

360

But this a witness between us and between you, and between our generations after us, to serve the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace-offerings; and your sons shall not say, To-morrow, to our sons, not to you, a part in Jehovah.

361

And from half the tribe of Manasseh, Tanach and her area, and the Press of the Pomegranate and her area: two cities.

362

And the fifth lot came out to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

363

And after this he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all the writing in the book of the law.

364

And Joshua will say to the people, Ye will not be able to serve Jehovah, for a holy God is he: a jealous God is he; he will not take away your transgressions and your sins.

365

And all the assembly of the sons of Israel will be called together to Shiloh, and they will pitch there the tent of appointment, and the land was subdued before them.

366

And to Caleb son of Jephunneh he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the mouth of Jehovah to Joshua, the city of Arba the father of Anak, this is Hebron.

367

And Alammelech and Amad and Mishael; and it struck upon Carmel of the sea, and upon Shihor-Libnah;

368

And the lot to the sons of Joseph went forth from Jordan of Jericho to the water of Jericho, from the sumising to the desert it went up from Jericho into the mount of the House of God;

369

And the second lot came forth to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon, according to their families: and their inheritance will be in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

370

And their bound will be from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb and Jabneel and Lakum; and its outgoings Jordan.

371

558

And Joshua will say to the sons of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers gave to you?

559

And Gederoth, the House of Dagon, and Naamath and Makedah; sixteen cities and their enclosures:

560

And the bound will be to them to the north side from Jordan; and the bound went up to the side of Jericho from the north, and went up into the mountain to the sea; and its goings-out were from the desert of the House of Vanity.

569

And the south side from the extremity of the City of Forests, and the bound went out to the sea, and went out to the fountain of water of Neptitoah:

599

And ye shall write the land seven portions and bring to me hither, and I will cast the lot for you here before Jehovah our God.

600

601

And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for yourselves to the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the dwelling of Jehovah dwelt there, and take possession in the midst of us: and ye shall not rebel against Jehovah, and ye shall not rebel against us in your building to yourselves an altar beside the altar of Jehovah our God.

605

And the bound went down to the torrent Kanah, south to the torrent. These cities to Ephraim in the midst of the cities of Manasseh: and the bound of Manasseh from the north to the torrent, and its outgoings shall be the sea.
