13:1 Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years. Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.

13:2 “This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

13:3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,

13:4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

13:5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;

13:6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

13:8 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them:

13:9 from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;

13:10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

13:11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

13:12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.

13:13 Nevertheless the children of Israel didn’t drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

13:14 Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

13:15 Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

13:16 Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

13:17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

13:18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

13:19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,

13:20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,

13:21 all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.

13:22 The children of Israel alse killed Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.

13:23 The border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.

13:24 Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.

13:25 Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;

13:26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

13:27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan’s bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

13:28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.

13:29 Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.

13:30 Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.

13:31 Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.

13:32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

13:33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.

14:1 These are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,

14:2 by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.

14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.

14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their livestock and for their property.

14:5 The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

14:6 Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.

14:7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land. I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

14:8 Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.

14:9 Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly followed Yahweh my God.’

14:10 “Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

14:11 As yet I am as strong today as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, to go out and to come in.

14:12 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh spoke.”

14:13 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

14:14 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because he wholly followed Yahweh, the God of Israel.

14:15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. The land had rest from war.

119:65 Do good to your servant, according to your word, Yahweh.

119:66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.

119:67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I observe your word.

119:68 You are good, and do good. Teach me your statutes.

119:69 The proud have smeared a lie upon me. With my whole heart, I will keep your precepts.

119:70 Their heart is as callous as the fat, but I delight in your law.

119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.

119:72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. YUD

119:73 Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.

119:74 Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I have put my hope in your word.

119:75 Yahweh, I know that your judgments are righteous, that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

119:76 Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant.

119:77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.

119:78 Let the proud be disappointed, for they have overthrown me wrongfully. I will meditate on your precepts.

119:79 Let those who fear you turn to me. They will know your statutes.

119:80 Let my heart be blameless toward your decrees, that I may not be disappointed. KAF

119:81 My soul faints for your salvation. I hope in your word.

119:82 My eyes fail for your word. I say, “When will you comfort me?”

119:83 For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don’t forget your statutes.

119:84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?

119:85 The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

119:86 All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

119:87 They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.

119:88 Preserve my life according to your loving kindness, so I will obey the statutes of your mouth. LAMED

119:89 Yahweh, your word is settled in heaven forever.

119:90 Your faithfulness is to all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains.

119:91 Your laws remain to this day, for all things serve you.

119:92 Unless your law had been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.

119:93 I will never forget your precepts, for with them, you have revived me.

119:94 I am yours. Save me, for I have sought your precepts.

119:95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me. I will consider your statutes.

119:96 I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commands are boundless. MEM

16:1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

16:2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’

16:3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

16:4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’

16:5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’

16:6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’

16:7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

16:8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

16:9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

16:10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

16:11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

16:12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

16:13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and mammon.”

16:14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

16:15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
