And they brake up from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.

And they brake up from Almon-diblathaim, - and encamped among the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

And they brake up from the mountains of Abarim, - and encamped in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan neat Jericho.

Thus did they encamp by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth unto Abel-Shittim that is, "The acacia - meadows"- in the waste plains of Moab.

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho saying:

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When ye do pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

then shall ye dispossess all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and shall destroy all their figured stones, - all their molten images, also shall ye destroy, and all their high places, shall ye lay waste.

So shall ye possess the land, and settle down therein, - for unto you, have given the land to possess it.

And ye shall take your inheritance in the land by lot by your families - for the large one, ye shall make large his inheritance, and for the small one, make small his inheritance, whithersoever the lot cometh out to him, his, shall, it be, by the tribes of your fathers, shall ye take your inheritance.

But if ye do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall it be. that they whom ye leave remaining of them will become pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and will harass you, concerning the land, wherein, ye are settling down.

And it shall be, that as I thought to do unto them, I will do unto you.

Command the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, When, ye, are coming into the land of Canaan, this is the land which shall fall unto you, as an inheritance, even the land of Canaan, by the boundaries thereof.

Ye shall therefore have a south corner, from the desert of Zin, on the side of Edom, - so shall ye have a south boundary, from the end of the salt sea, eastward:

and the boundary shall go round for you from the south towards the cliffs of Akrabbim, then cross over towards Zin, and the extension thereof shall be from the south to Kadesh-barnea, then shall it reach out to Hazar-addar, and cross over towards Azmon;

then shall the boundary turn round from Azmon towards the ravine of Egypt, - and the extension thereof shall be towards the sea.

And, for a west boundary, - ye shall have the great sea, even a boundary, this, shall serve you as west boundary.

And, this, shall serve you as a north boundary, - From the great sea, ye shall draw a line for you to Mount Hor:

From Mount Hor, ye shall draw a line to the entering in of Hamath, - and the extension of the boundary shall be towards Zedad:

then shall the boundary reach out towards Ziphron, and the extension thereof, be to Hazar-enan. This, shall serve you as a north, boundary.

and the boundary shall go down from Shepham towards Riblah, on the east of Ain - then shall the boundary go down and strike on the side of the Sea of Chinnereth, eastward:

then shall the boundary go down towards the Jordan, and the extension thereof be to the salt sea. This shall be your land by the boundaries thereof round about.

And Moses commanded the sons of Israel saying, - This, is the land, which ye shall inherit by lot, which Yahweh had commanded to be given to the nine tribes and the half tribe.

For the tribe of the sons of the Reubenites by their ancestral house, and the tribe of the sons of Gad, by their ancestral house, have received, and, the half tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:

the two tribes, and the half tribe, have received their inheritance - on this side Jordan near Jericho, eastwards, towards sunrise.

These, are the names of the men who shall receive for you the land, as an inheritance, Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, son of Nun.

And, for the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud:

And, for the tribe of the sons of Dan, a prince - Bukki, son of Jogli:

And, for the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a prince, - Kemuel, son of Shiphtan;

And, for the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a prince, - Elizaphan, son of Parnach;

And, for the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a prince, - Paltiel son of Azzan;

And, for the tribe of the sons of Asher, a prince, - Ahihud son of Shelomi:

And, for the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a prince, - Pedahel, son of Ammihud.

And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the waste plains of Moab, - by Jordan, near Jericho, saying:

Command the sons of Israel, that they give unto the Levites - out of the inheritance which they possess - cities to dwell in, - pasture land also unto the cities, round about them, shall ye give unto the Levites.

So shall the cities be theirs, to dwell in, - and their pasture lands, shall, ye for their cattle and for their goods and for all their beasts.

And, the pasture lands of the cities which ye shall give unto the Levite, shall be, - from the wail of the city, and outwards, a thousand cubits round about

So ye shall measure - on the outside of the city - the eastward quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter two thousand by the cubit and the north quarter two thousand by the cubit, with, the city, in the midst. This, shall be unto them the pasture lands of the cities,

And, among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give that the manslayer may flee thither, - and besides them, ye shall give, forty-two cities,

All the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be forty-eight cities, - them, and their pasture lands,

And as touching the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the sons of Israel from the many, shall ye take many, and from the few, shall ye take few, - each, according to his inheritance, which they shall inherit, shall We of his cities unto the Levites.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, - When ye are passing over the Jordan unto the land of Canaan,

then shall ye find for you, convenient cities, cities of refuge, shall they be unto you, - and the manslayer, who hath slain a person, by mistake, shall flee thither.

And as touching the cities which ye shall give six cities of refuge, shall there be unto you.

Three of the cities, shall ye give, on this side the Jordan, and three of the cities, shall ye give in the land of Canaan, - cities of refuge, shall they be.

For the sons of Israel and for the sojourner. and for the settler in your midst, shall these six cities serve, as places of refuge, - that any one may flee thither who hath slain a person, by mistake.

If, then, with an instrument of iron, he smote him, and he died, a manslayer, he is, - a manslayer, shall surely die.

Or if with a stone thrown by hand, where-by one might die, he smote him and he died, a manslayer, he is, - the man-slayer, shall surely die,

Or, if with hand-weapon of wood, wherewith one might die, he smote him and he died a manslayer, he is, - the manslayer shall surely die.

Or if with hate, he shall thrust at him, or hurl at him designedly, and he have died,

or if with enmity, he hath smitten him with his band and he is dead, then shall he that dealt the blow, be surely put to death. a manslayer, he is - the blood-redeemer shall put to death the man-slayer, when he lighteth upon him.

Or with any stone whereby one might die without seeing him, and it fall upon him, and he dieth; he, not being at enmity with him, nor seeking to harm him,

then shall the assembly judge, between him that smote and the blood-redeemer, - according to these regulations;

and the assembly shall rescue the manslayer out of the hand of the blood-redeemer, and the assembly shall restore him unto his city of refuge whither he had fled, - and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who hath been anointed with the hallowing oil.

and the blood-redeemer, find him, outside the bounds of his city of refuge, then may the blood-redeemer slay the slayer, without being guilty of blood;

for in his city of refuge, should he have remained, until the death of the high priest, - and, after the death of the high priest, might he have returned into the land which he doth possess.

So shall these serve you as a regulative statute unto your generations, - wheresoever ye may dwell.

And ye shall accept no ransom for the life of him that slayeth, if he have unlawfully caused death, - but he, must surely be put to death.

And ye shall accept no ransom for him that hath fled to his city of refuge, if he should return to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.

So shall ye not pollute the land wherein ye are, for blood, doth pollute the land, and for the land, no propitiatory-covering can be made, as touching blood, that is shed therein, save with the blood of him that shed it;

Then came near the heads of fathers, belonging to the family of the sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, out of the families of the sons of Joseph, - and spake before Moses, and before the princes, heads of fathers belonging to the sons of Israel;

and they said - Unto my lord, did Yahweh give command, to bestow the land as an inheritance, by lot, unto the sons of Israel, - my lord, therefore, was commanded by Yahweh, to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughter.

When, therefore, unto any one from among the sons of the other tribes of the sons of Israel, they become wives their inheritance shall disappear out of the inheritance of our fathers, and be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received, - and so out of the lot of our inheritance, shall it disappear,

And when the jubilee shall come to the sons of Israel, then shall their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe to which they shall be received - and, out of the, inheritance of the tribe of our fathers, shall their inheritance disappear.

This, is the thing which Yahweh hath commanded, as to the daughters of Zelophehad saying: Unto whomsoever it may be good in their eyes, let them become wives, - save only unto the family of the tribe of their father, let them become wives.

So shall no inheritance belonging to the sons of Israel go round from tribe to tribe, - for the sons of Israel shall, each one, cleave, unto the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers,

And, every daughter possessing all inheritance from among the tribes of the sons of Israel, unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, shall become wife, - to the intent that the sons of Israel may possess each one the inheritance of his fathers;

and no inheritance go round from one tribe to another tribe, - for the tribes of the sons of Israel shall cleave, each one unto his own inheritance.

Thus then did Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milchah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, become wives, unto the sons of their father's brethren.

Unto men from among the families of the son of Manasseh son of Joseph, became they wives, - and so their inheritance remained with the tribe of the family of their father.

These are the commandments and the regulations which Yahweh gave in charge, by the hand of Moses, unto the sons of Israel, - in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan near Jericho.

These, are the words, which Moses spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, - in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge for them;

after he had smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt in this mountain:

Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, - the land of Canaan and the Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

See! I have set before you the land, - enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto their seed, after them.

So spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, - and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?

Set forth for you - men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, - that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

And ye answered me, - and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

So I took heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for your tribes.

And I charged your judges, at that time, saying, - Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each magi and his brother and his sojourner.

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment - so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, - but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, - and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

Then said I unto you, - Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

See thou - Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, - go up - take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

And ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, - and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

And the thing, was good in mine eyes, - so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.

And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.

And they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, - to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying - A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, - yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.

Then I said unto you, - Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:

who was going before you in the way - to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, - in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, - and was wroth and sware - saying:

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, - shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers:

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, - because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

And your little ones, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, - and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.
