  • Proverbs 28
    The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
    For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
    A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
    They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
    Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
    Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
    Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
    He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
    He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
    Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
    The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.
    When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
    He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
    Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
    As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
    The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
    A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
    Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
    He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
    A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
    To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
    He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
    He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
    Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
    He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
    He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
    He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
    When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

  • Proverbs 27
    Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
    Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
    A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
    Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
    Open rebuke is better than secret love.
    Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
    The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
    As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
    Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
    Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
    My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
    A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
    Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
    He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
    A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
    Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
    Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
    Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
    As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
    Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
    As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
    Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
    Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
    For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
    The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
    The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
    And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

  • John 9,10
    And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
    And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
    Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
    I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
    As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
    When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
    And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
    The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
    Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
    Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
    He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
    Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
    They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
    And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
    Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
    Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
    They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
    But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
    And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
    His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
    But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
    These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
    Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
    Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
    He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
    Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
    He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
    Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
    We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
    The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
    Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
    Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
    If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
    They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
    Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
    He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
    And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with the

  • Numbers 36
    And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
    And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
    And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
    And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
    And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
    This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
    So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
    And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
    Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
    Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
    For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
    And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
    These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

  • John 8
    Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
    And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
    And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
    They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
    Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
    This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
    So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
    And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
    And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
    When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
    She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
    Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
    The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
    Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
    Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
    And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
    It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
    I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
    Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
    These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
    Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
    Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
    And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
    I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
    Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
    I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
    They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
    Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
    And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
    As he spake these words, many believed on him.
    Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
    And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
    They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
    Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
    And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
    If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
    I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,

  • Proverbs 26
    As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
    As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
    A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
    Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
    Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
    He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
    The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
    As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
    As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.
    The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
    As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
    Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
    The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
    As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
    The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
    The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
    He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
    As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
    So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
    Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
    As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
    The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
    Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
    He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
    When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
    Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
    Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
    A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

  • Numbers 35
    And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
    Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
    And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
    And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
    And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
    And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
    So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
    And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
    Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
    And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
    And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
    Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
    These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
    And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
    But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
    Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
    But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
    Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
    Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
    And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
    But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
    And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilt

  • John 7
    After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
    Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
    His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
    For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
    For neither did his brethren believe in him.
    Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
    The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
    Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
    When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
    But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
    Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
    And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
    Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
    Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
    And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
    Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
    If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
    He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
    Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
    The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
    Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
    Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
    If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
    Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
    But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
    Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
    Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
    But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
    Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
    And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
    The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
    Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
    Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
    Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
    What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
    In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
    He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

  • Proverbs 25
    These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
    It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
    The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
    Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.
    Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
    Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
    For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
    Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
    Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
    Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
    A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
    As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
    As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
    Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
    By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
    Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
    Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
    A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
    Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
    As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
    If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
    For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
    The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
    It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
    As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
    A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
    It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
    He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
    Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
    And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
    And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
    And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
    And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
    From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
    And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
    And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
    And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
    And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
    And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
    For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
    The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
    These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
    And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
    And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
    And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
    Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
    The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
    And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
    These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
