2 “Then we turned and took our journey into the wilderness, by way of the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me. And we encircled Mount Seir a long time.
2 “And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 ‘You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward
4 ‘and warn the people, saying, “You shall go through the coast of your brothers, the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir.” And they shall be afraid of you. Be very careful, therefore.
5 ‘You shall not provoke them. For I will not give you so much as a footstep of their land, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 ‘You shall buy meat from them, for money to eat. And you shall also procure water from them, for money to drink.
7 ‘For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand. He knows your comings and goings through this great wilderness. And the LORD your God has been with you these forty years. You have lacked nothing.’
8 “And when we had departed from our brothers, the children of Esau (who dwelt in Seir, by way of the plain, from Elath and from Ezion Geber) we turned and went by way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 “Then the LORD said to me, ‘You shall not besiege Moab or provoke them to battle. For I will not give you their land for a possession because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
10 ‘The Emims — a people great and many, and tall — dwelt there in times past, as the Anakims did.
11 ‘Those whom the Moabites call Emims were also called “giants”, as the Anakims were.
12 ‘The Horites also dwelt in Seir before time. The children of Esau chased them out and destroyed them from before them and dwelt in their place, as Israel shall do to the land of its possession (which the LORD has given them).
13 ‘Now rise up and get over the river Zered.’ And we went over the river Zered.
14 “And the time it took to go from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the river Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from among the army, as the LORD swore to them.
15 “For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the army, until they were consumed.
16 “So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 “then the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 ‘You shall go through Ar (the coast of Moab) this day.
19 ‘And you shall come near the children of Ammon, but shall not lay siege to them, nor move war against them. For I will not give you possession of the land of the children of Ammon. For I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession,
20 ‘that also was taken for a land of giants. Giants dwelt there previously, whom the Ammonites called Zamzummims,
21 ‘a great people, and many, and tall as the Anakims.’ But the LORD destroyed them before them. And they succeeded them in their inheritance and dwelt in their place.
22 ‘He also did so to the children of Esau (who dwell in Seir) when he destroyed the Horites before them. And they dispossessed them and have dwelt in their place until this day,
23 ‘And the Avim (who dwelt from Hazarim to Azzah) and the Caphtorims (who came out of Caphtor) destroyed them and dwelt in their place.
24 ‘Rise up! Take your journey and pass over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it and provoke him to battle.
25 ‘This day I will begin to send your fear and your dread upon all people under the whole heaven, who shall hear your fame and shall tremble and quake before you.
26 ‘Then I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon, king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,
27 “Let me pass through your land. I will go by the highway. I will not turn to the right or to the left.
28 “You shall sell me meat for money (so that I may eat) and shall give me water for money (so that I may drink). Only, I will go through on foot,
29 “as the children of Esau (who dwell in Seir) and the Moabites (who dwell in Ar) did to me until I had come over Jordan, into the land which the LORD our God gave us.”’
30 “But Sihon, the King of Heshbon, would not let us pass by him. For the LORD your God had hardened His Spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because he would deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.
31 “And the LORD said to me, ‘Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess and inherit his land.’
32 “Then Sihon came out to meet us (himself with all his people) to fight at Jahaz.
33 “But the LORD our God delivered him into our power. And we struck him and his sons and all his people.
34 “And we took all his cities at the same time and destroyed every city—men and women and children. We let nothing remain.
35 “We only took the cattle for ourselves, plus the spoil of the cities which we took,
36 “from Aroer (which is by the bank of the river of Arnon) to the city that is upon the river, all the way to Gilead. There was not one city that escaped us. The LORD our God delivered them all up before us.
37 “Only to the land of the children of Ammon did you not come, nor to any place on the river Jabbok, nor to the cities in the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbade us.”
3 “Then we turned and went up by the way of Bashan. And Og, king of Bashan, came out against us (he and all his people), to fight at Edrei.
2 “And the LORD said to me, ‘Do not fear him. For I will deliver him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites (who dwelt at Heshbon).’
3 “So the LORD our God also delivered to our hand, Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck him, until he was left with no one.
4 “And we took all his cities at the same time. There was not a city which we did not take from them—60 cities—all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
5 “All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars. And there were a great many unwalled towns.
6 “And we overthrew them, as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, destroying every city—men, women and children.
7 “But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took for ourselves.
8 “Thus, at that time, we took out of the hand of two kings of the Amorites: the land that was on this side of Jordan—from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon
9 “(the same Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, but the Amorites call Senir),
10 “all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, all Bashan, up to Salcah, and Edrei—cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 “For only Og, king of Bashan, remained from the remnant of the giants, whose bed was a bed of iron. Is it not at Rabbath, among the children of Ammon? The length of it is nine cubits. And four cubits is the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
12 “And this land which we possessed at that time—from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half of Mount Gilead, and its cities—I gave to the Reubenites and Gadites.
13 “And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan (the kingdom of Og) I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh, all the country of Argob, with all Bashan (which is called ‘The Land of Giants’.
14 “Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the country of Argob, to the coasts of Geshuri and of Maachathi. And he called them after his own name—Bashan, Havoth Jair—to this day.
15 “And I gave part of Gilead to Machir.
16 “And to the Reubenites and Gadites I gave part of Gilead: to the river of Arnon—half the river and the borders—as far as the river Jabbok (which is the border of the children of Ammon),
17 “the plain, also, and Jordan, and the borders from Chinnereth, as far as the sea of the plain (the Salt Sea, under the springs of Pisgah, eastward).
18 “And I commanded you at the same time, saying, ‘The LORD your God has given you this land, to possess it. You shall go over, armed, ahead of your brothers, the children of Israel, all men of war.
19 ‘But your wives and your children and your cattle (for I know that you have many cattle) shall stay in your cities which I have given you,
20 ‘until the LORD has given rest to your brothers (as to you) and they also possess the land which the LORD your God has given them beyond Jordan. Then you shall return every man to his possession, which I have given you.’
21 “And I charged Joshua at the same time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. So shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms where you go.
22 ‘You shall not fear them. For the LORD your God, He shall fight for you.’
23 “And I implored the LORD at the same time, saying,
24 ‘O LORD God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For where is there a God in Heaven or on Earth, that can match Your works and Your power?
25 ‘I beg You, let me go over and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’
26 “But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes and would not hear me. And the LORD said to me, ‘Let it satisfy you. Speak no more to Me of this matter.
27 ‘Get up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward and behold it with your eyes. For you shall not go over this Jordan.
28 ‘But charge Joshua and encourage him and embolden him. For he shall go before this people. And he shall divide to them for an inheritance the land which you shall see.’
29 “So we stayed in the valley, near Beth Peor.”
12 And it happened that in those days He went into a mountain to pray. And He spent the night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was day, He called His disciples. And He chose twelve of them (whom He also called Apostles):
14 Simon (whom He also named Peter) and Andrew (his brother), James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealous,
16 Judas brother of James, and Judas Iscariot (who was also the traitor).
17 Then He came down with them and stood in a plain place with the crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem and from the seacoasts of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases.
18 And those who were tormented by foul spirits were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him. For power went out of Him and healed them all.
20 And He lifted up His eyes upon His disciples, and said, “Blessed are you poor. For yours is the Kingdom of God.
21 “Blessed are you who hunger now. For you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now. For you shall laugh.
22 “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they separate you, and revile you, and put out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23 “Rejoice on that day and be glad. For behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in like manner did their fathers to the Prophets:
24 “But woe to you rich. For you have received your comfort.
25 “Woe to you who are full. For you shall hunger. Woe to you who now laugh. For you shall wail and weep.
26 “Woe to you when all men speak well of you. For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies. Do well to those who hate you.
28 “Bless those who curse you and pray for those who hurt you.
29 “And to the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other, and the one who takes away your cloak, do not forbid to take your coat also.
30 “Give to everyone who asks of you. And from the one who takes away what is yours, do not ask for it back.
31 “And as you would have men do to you, so likewise do to them.
32 “For if you love those who love you, what thanks shall you have? For even the sinners love those who love them.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks shall you have? For even the sinners do the same.
34 “And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks shall you have? For even the sinners lend to sinners to receive the same.
35 “Therefore, love your enemies. And do good. And lend, looking for nothing in return. And your reward shall be great. And you shall be the children of the Most High. For He is kind to the ungrateful and to the evil.
36 “Therefore, be merciful, as your Father is also merciful.
37 “Do not judge. And you shall not be judged. Do not condemn. And you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.
38 “Give, and it shall be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall be laid in your lap. For with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.”
67 God be merciful to us and bless us. Cause His face to shine among us (Selah),
2 so that they may know Your way upon Earth and Your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.
4 Let the people be glad and rejoice; for You shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations upon the Earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise You, O God. Let all the people praise You.
6 Then shall the Earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our God, shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us, and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him. To him who excels: A psalm or song of David
27 He who seeks good things, gets favor. But he who seeks evil, it shall come to him.
