So Lot lifted up his eyes and beheld all the circuit of the Jordan, that the whole of it, was well-watered, - before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the Garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as thou enterest into Zoar.

And Lot chose for himself all the circuit of the Jordan, so Lot brake up eastwards, - and they separated themselves, each man from his brother:

I am too small for all the lovingkindnesses and for all the faithfulness, which thou hast done unto thy servant, - For with my staff, passed I over this Jordan, But, now, have I become two camps.

And they came in, as far as the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, which is beyond the Jordan, then wailed they there - an exceeding great and grievous walling, - and he made for his father a mourning, of seven days.

And when the dwellers in the land - the Canaanites - saw the mourning in the threshing-floor of the Buckthorn, they said, - A grievous mourning, this! for the Egyptians. For this cause, was the name thereof called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

Anak, saw we there. Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.

Then did the sons of Israel break up, - and encamp in the waste plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan by Jericho.

So then Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them, in the waste plains of Moab, - by the Jordan near Jericho saying:

These, are they who were numbered by Moses, and Eleazar, the priest, - when they numbered the sons of Israel, in the waste plains of Moab, by Jordan, near Jericho.

and brought in unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel - the captives and the booty, and the spoil unto the camp, - unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.

And they said - If we have found favour in thine eyes, let this land he given unto thy servants, for a possession, - do not take us over the Jordan.

For we would not inherit with them, over the Jordan, and onwards, - because our inheritance hath come unto us on this side the Jordan towards sunrise.

and every armed man of you pass over the Jordan before Yahweh, - until he hath dispossessed his enemies, from before him;

and Moses said unto them - If the sons of Gad and the son of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every one armed for the war before Yahweh, and the land be subdued before you, then shall ye give unto them the land of Gilead, for a possession.

We, will pass over armed, before Yahweh into the land of Canaan, - then shall be ours, the possession of our inheritance across the Jordan.

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 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.

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

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 are passing over the Jordan unto the land of Canaan,

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.

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:

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: -

as the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, - until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), - from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon.

Ammon; the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, - from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east.

until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, - then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.

Let me pass over, I pray thee that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan, - this good mountain, and the Lebanon.

Ascend the top of the Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes - westward, and northward and southward and eastward - and see with thine own eyes, - for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.

But, Yahweh shewed himself angry with me, for your sakes, - and sware that I should not pass over the Jordan, and that I should not enter into the good land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee as an inheritance;

for, I, am about to die in this land, I am not to pass over the Jordan, - but, ye, are to pass over, and possess this good land.

I take both the heavens and the earth to witness against you to-day, that ye shall, perish, speed, from off the land which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess, - ye shall not prolong your days thereupon; for, ye shall surely be laid waste;

Then, did Moses set apart three cities, over the Jordan, - towards the rising of the sun:

over the Jordan in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt:

so they took possession of his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan the two kings of the Amorites, who were over the Jordan, - towards the rising of the sun;

and all the waste plain over the Jordan, towards sunrise, even unto the sea of the waste plain, - under the slopes of the Pisgah.

Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, - cities great and fortified into the heavens;

Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher's Terebinths?

For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, - so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.

But, when ye shall pass over the Jordan, and settle down in the land which, Yahweh your God, is causing you to inherit, - and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and ye shall dwell securely,

So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, - that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster;

So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, - and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.

These, shall stand to bless the people upon Mount Gerizim, when ye have passed over the Jordan, - Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

I declare unto you, to-day, that ye shall perish, - ye shall not prolong your days, upon the soil which thou art passing over the Jordan to enter and possess.

and said unto them - A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in, - Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over this Jordan.

and that their children who know not, may hear and learn, that they may revere Yahweh your God, - all the days that ye are living upon the soil, which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess.

for it is not, too small a thing, for you, for, it, is your life, - and, hereby, shall ye prolong your days upon the soil whereunto ye are, passing over the Jordan to possess it.

Moses my servant, is dead, - Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them - unto the sons of Israel.

Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, - for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, - but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, - all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;

until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, - then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.

So, the men, pursued them by way of the Jordan unto the fords, - the gate being shut as soon as they who pursued them had gone forth.

For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt, - and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;

So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, - and they lodged there before they passed over.

Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, - When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand.

Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.

and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, - and shall stand in one mound.

And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, - with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, - the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest,

And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, - while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:

and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; - and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.

and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, - and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:

Then shall ye say unto them - That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.

And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, - and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, - and they have remained there until this day.

Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, - the people therefore hasted, and passed over.

Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, - that they come up out of the Jordan.

So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, - Come ye up out of the Jordan.

And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.

So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, - and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.

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

then shall ye let your sons know, saying, - On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;

in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, - as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

And Joshua said - Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan!

And it came to pass, when they heard, - namely, all the kings who were over the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland, and in all the coast of the great sea, over against the Lebanon, - the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; -

and all that he had done unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan, - unto Sihon, king of Heshbon, and unto Og, king of Bashan, who was in Ashtaroth.

Now, these, are the kings of the land, whom the sons of Israel had smitten, and of whose land they had taken possession, over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun, - from the ravine of Arnon, as far as Mount Hermon, and all the waste plain, on the east:

And, these, are the kings of the land, whom Joshua and the sons of Israel smote over the Jordan, towards the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of the Lebanon, even as far as the Mount Halak that goeth up towards Seir, - and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel, as a possession, according to their portions;

With them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance, - which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them:

And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

and in the valley - Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, - as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward.

These, are the portions which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, - over the Jordan by Jericho eastward.

For Moses had given the two tribes and the half tribe their inheritance over the Jordan, - but, unto the Levites, gave he no inheritance in their midst;

And, a boundary eastward, is the Salt Sea, as far as the end of the Jordan. And, the boundary on the north side, is from the bay of the sea, from the end of the Jordan.

Then came out the lot, for the sons of Joseph, from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho, eastward, - the desert, going up from Jericho, through the hill country to Bethel;

and goeth down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, - and toucheth upon Jericho, and goeth out at the Jordan.

Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, - besides the land of Gilead, and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;

For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, - and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.

And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan, - and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven;

and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward, - This, is the south boundary.

And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families.

and the boundary toucheth Tabor and Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and so the extensions of their boundary are to the Jordan, - sixteen cities, with their villages.

And their boundary was from Heleph, from the terebinth of Bezaannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and so the extensions thereof were to the Jordan;

and the boundary turneth westward, to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence, toward Hukkok, - and toucheth Zebulun on the south, and, Asher, it toucheth on the west, and Judah, at the Jordan towards sunrise.
