The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt. The Lord said,

And they kept the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month, in the Sinai desert. The people of Israel did all that the Lord had told Moses.


book: Num

But there were some men who were unclean because they had touched a dead person. So they could not keep the Passover on that day. They came to Moses and Aaron that day

book: Num
contenido:
If a stranger staying with you wants to keep the Passover to the Lord and obey the Law of the Passover, he may do so. You will have one law, both for the stranger and for the one who was born in the land.’”

The Cloud of Fire
On the day that the meeting tent was set up, the cloud covered the meeting tent, the tent of the law. In the evening it was over the meeting tent. It looked like fire until morning.

It was like this always. The cloud would cover it during the day. What looked like fire would cover it during the night.

If only one horn sounds, then the leaders, the heads of the families of Israel, will gather in front of you.

On the days you are glad and at the time of your special suppers and on the first days of your months, blow the horns. Blow the horns over your burnt gifts and over your peace gifts. Then you will be remembered before your God. I am the Lord your God.”

book: Num

The mixed group of people among them had strong desires. The people of Israel cried again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?

The people would go and gather it and beat it between stones. They boiled it in a pot or made bread with it. It tasted like bread made with oil.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses heard all the people crying in every family, each man at the door of his tent. The Lord became very angry with them and Moses was not pleased.


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You been so hard on Your servant? Why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You have laid the troubles of all these people on me?


book: Num
contenido:
Did I give birth to all these people? Did I bring them out, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them close to your heart as a nurse carries a nursing baby, to the land You promised their fathers’?


book: Num
contenido:
Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? They cry in front of me, saying, ‘Give us meat so we may eat!’


book: Num

So if You are going to act this way toward me, I beg You to kill me now, if I have found favor in Your eyes. Do not let me see how bad off I am.”

book: Num

Say to the people, ‘Make yourselves holy for tomorrow, and you will eat meat. The Lord heard you when you cried and said, “If only someone would give us meat to eat! For it was well with us in Egypt.” So the Lord will give you meat and you will eat.


book: Num
contenido:
But you will eat it a whole month, until it comes out of your nose and you hate it, because you have turned away from the Lord Who is among you. You have cried before Him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”


book: Num

But Moses said, “The people whom I am among are 600,000 on foot. And You have said, ‘I will give them meat so they may eat for a whole month.’


book: Num

book: Num

book: Num

The Lord Sends Quails
Now a wind went out from the Lord. It brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the place where the tents were set up. They fell all around the tents, about as far on each side as it takes to travel in a day. They lay on the ground as deep as two cubits.


book: Num
contenido:
The people worked all day and all night and all the next day gathering the quail. He who gathered the least gathered enough to fill 110 baskets. And they spread them out for themselves all around the tents.


book: Num

While the meat was still between their teeth and not yet eaten, the Lord became angry with the people. The Lord sent a bad sickness upon the people.

the Lord said, “Now listen to Me. If there is a man who speaks for God among you, I the Lord will make Myself known to him in a special dream. I will speak with him in a dream.


book: Num

With him I speak face to face in ways he understands, and not in ways he does not understand. And he sees what the Lord is like. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

book: Num

So Miriam was shut up away from the tents for seven days. And the people did not travel on until Miriam was brought in again.

Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Go up there into the Negev. Then go up into the hill country.


book: Num

See what the land is like. See if the people who live in it are strong or weak, and if they are few or many.


book: Num

Find out if the land they live in is good or bad. See if the cities they live in are open or if they have walls.


book: Num

Find out if the land is rich or poor, and if there are trees in it or not. Then try to get some of the fruit of the land.” Now this was the gathering time of the first grown grapes.


book: Num

When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron. Anak’s sons Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)


book: Num
contenido:
Then they came to the valley of Eshcol. They cut down a branch from there with some grapes on it. And they carried it on a long piece of wood between two men, with some pomegranates and figs.


book: Num
contenido:
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of much fruit the men of Israel cut down from there.


book: Num

We saw the Nephilim there. (The sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim.) We looked like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”


book: Num

All the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this desert!


book: Num

Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to be killed by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be taken away. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?”


book: Num

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh tore their clothes. They were among those who had spied out the land.


book: Num

If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us. It is a land which flows with milk and honey.

Only do not go against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land. For they will be our food. They have no way to keep safe, and the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”


book: Num

And they will tell the people who live in this land. They have heard

I pray that You will forgive the sin of this people by the greatness of Your loving-kindness. Forgive them as You have forgiven them from Egypt until now.”


book: Num

All the men who have seen My greatness and My wonderful works which I did in Egypt and in the desert but have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice, for sure, they


book: Num

will not see the land I promised to their fathers. None of those who have turned away from Me will see it.


book: Num

But My servant Caleb has had a different spirit and has followed Me in every way. I will bring him into the land where he went, and his children will take it for themselves.


book: Num

book: Num

‘Your dead bodies will fall in this desert, all of you who were numbered from twenty years old and older, who have spoken against Me.


book: Num

For sure, not one will go into the land where I promised to have you live, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.


book: Num

You said that your children would be taken and killed. But I will bring them in, and they will know the land you have turned away from.

Your children will be shepherds in the desert for forty years. They will suffer because you were not faithful, until your dead bodies lie in the desert.


book: Num

You spied out the land for forty days. For each day you will carry your guilt a year, forty years. And you will know that I am against you.


book: Num

I the Lord have spoken. For sure I will do this to all these sinful people who are gathered together against Me. They will be destroyed in this desert. And there they will die.’”


book: Num

Moses had sent men to spy out the land. They returned and made all the people complain against him by bringing bad news about the land.


book: Num

But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh stayed alive, of those men who went to spy out the land.


book: Num

They got up early in the morning and went up to the top of the hill country, saying, “Here we are. It is true we have sinned. But we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised.”


book: Num

But Moses said, “Why now do you sin against the Word of the Lord? It will not get you what you want.


book: Num
contenido:
The Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you, and you will be killed by the sword. Because you have turned away from following the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
But they would not listen and went up to the top of the hill country. The special box with the Law of the Lord, and Moses, did not leave the tents.


book: Num

Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country came down and went against them and beat them down as far as Hormah.


book: Num

“Say to the people of Israel, ‘When you go into the land where you are to live, which I am giving you,


book: Num

then give a gift in worship by fire to the Lord. Give a gift from the herd or the flock, a burnt gift, or a gift to keep a special promise, or a free-will gift, or one during special suppers. This will be to make a pleasing smell to the Lord.


book: Num

The one who brings his gift will bring to the Lord a grain gift of one-tenth part of a basket of fine flour mixed with one-fourth part of a large jar of oil.

All who are born in the land must do these things in this way by giving a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.


book: Num

A stranger staying with you, or a man living among your people, may want to give a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord. Then he must do just as you do.

There will be one Law for you and for the stranger who stays with you. It will be a Law forever for all your children-to-come. As you are, so will the stranger be before the Lord.

Give a loaf of bread as a gift from the first of your grain. Give it as the gift of the grain-floor.


book: Num

even all that the Lord has told you to do through Moses, from the day when the Lord told you and through all your children-to-come.


book: Num

If this is done without the people knowing it, then all the people must give one bull for a burnt gift. It will be a pleasing smell to the Lord. It must be brought with its grain gift and its drink gift, by the Law, and with one male goat for a sin gift.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the religious leader will pay for the sins of all the people of Israel, and they will be forgiven. Because it was a mistake, they brought their gift, a gift by fire to the Lord, and their sin gift to the Lord, for their mistake.


book: Num

So all the people of Israel and the stranger who stays among them will be forgiven. For it happened to all the people by mistake.

And the religious leader before the Lord will pay for the sin of the person who sins without knowing it. He will pay for his sin so he may be forgiven.


book: Num

You will have one Law for him who does anything without knowing it, for him who is one of the people of Israel and for the stranger who lives among them.


book: Num

But if a person born in the land or a stranger does anything wrong and means to do it, he is speaking against the Lord. That person must be cut off from among his people.

Because he has hated the Word of the Lord and has broken His Law, that person must be cut off for sure. His guilt will be on him.’”

Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, caused trouble.


book: Num
contenido:
They came in front of Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel. They had chosen 250 leaders of the people of Israel, well-known men.


book: Num
contenido:
They all gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “You have gone too far! For all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. So why do you honor yourselves more than the people of the Lord?”


book: Num
contenido:
He said to Korah and all who were with him, “Tomorrow morning the Lord will show who is His, and who is holy. He will have him come near to Him. He will bring near to Himself the one whom He will choose.


book: Num
contenido:
Put fire in them, and put special perfume upon them before the Lord tomorrow. The man whom the Lord chooses will be the one who is holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi!”


book: Num
contenido:
Is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has set you apart from the rest of the people of Israel? He has brought you near to Himself. He has you do the work around the meeting tent of the Lord. And He has you stand in front of the people to care for them.


book: Num
contenido:
He has brought you near to Him, Korah, and all your brothers who are the sons of Levi, with you. Would you try to be the religious leaders also?


book: Num
contenido:
So you and all who are with you are gathered together against the Lord. But as for Aaron, who is he that you complain against him?”


book: Num
contenido:
Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to have us die in the desert? Must you make yourself a ruler over us also?


book: Num
contenido:
More than this, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey. You have not given us any land with fields and grape vines. Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses became very angry. He said to the Lord, “Do not respect their gift! I have not taken one donkey from them. And I have not hurt one of them.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses said to Korah, “You and all who are with you be before the Lord tomorrow, you and they, and Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Each of you take his fire pot and put special perfume on it. And each of you bring his fire pot before the Lord, 250 fire pots. Let both you and Aaron bring his fire pot also.”


book: Num
contenido:
So each man took his fire pot and put fire in it and put special perfume on it. And they stood at the door of the meeting tent with Moses and Aaron.


book: Num
contenido:
Korah gathered together all the people against them at the door of the meeting tent. And the shining-greatness of the Lord was seen by all the people.


book: Num
contenido:
But they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, when one man sins, will You be angry with all the people?”


book: Num
contenido:
And he said to the people, “Go away now from the tents of these sinful men. Touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will be destroyed because of all their sin.”


book: Num
contenido:
So they went away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little ones.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said, “By this you will know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works. For this is not my doing.


book: Num
contenido:
If these men die in the same way all men die, or if what happens to everyone happens to them, then the Lord has not sent me.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord will do something new. The ground will open its mouth and take them with all that belongs to them. And they will go down alive into the place of the dead. Then you will understand that these men have turned against the Lord.”


book: Num
contenido:
The earth opened its mouth and took them and all those of their house, and all Korah’s men and all that belonged to them.


book: Num
contenido:
They and all that belonged to them went down alive to the place of the dead, and the earth closed over them. They were destroyed from among the people.


book: Num
contenido:
And all Israel who were around them ran away at their cry. For they said, “The earth may take us too!”


book: Num
contenido:
“Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the religious leader to take the fire pots out of the fire. For they are holy. Then spread the burning pieces far apart.


book: Num
contenido:
Let the fire pots of these men who have sinned and lost their lives be made into beaten plates to cover the altar. For they did bring them to the Lord and they are holy. They will be something special for the people of Israel to see.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Eleazar the religious leader took the brass fire pots which the men who were burned had brought. And they beat them into plates to cover the altar.


book: Num
contenido:
They were to make the people of Israel remember that no man who is not a religious leader and a son of Aaron should come to burn special perfume before the Lord. Or he might become like Korah and those who were with him, as the Lord said to Eleazar through Moses.


book: Num
contenido:
The People Complain
But on the next day all the people of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You are the ones who have caused the death of the Lord’s people.”


book: Num
contenido:
When the people had gathered against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the meeting tent. There the cloud covered it and they saw the shining-greatness of the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to Aaron, “Take your fire pot and put fire in it from the altar, and lay special perfume on it. Then be quick to bring it to the people and pay for their sin. For anger has gone out from the Lord. The disease has come!”


book: Num
contenido:
So Aaron took it as Moses said, and ran to the people. The disease had already come upon them. He put on the special perfume and paid for the sin of the people.


book: Num
contenido:
“Speak to the people of Israel. Get walking sticks from them, one for each father’s house. Get twelve walking sticks, from all their leaders by their fathers’ houses. Write each man’s name on his stick.


book: Num
contenido:
Write Aaron’s name on the walking stick of Levi. For there will be one walking stick for the head of each father’s house.


book: Num
contenido:
And the walking stick of the man I choose will begin to grow. In this way I will stop the complaining of the people of Israel, who are complaining against you.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel. All their leaders each gave him a walking stick, one for each leader by their fathers’ houses, twelve walking sticks. And the walking stick of Aaron was among their walking sticks.


book: Num
contenido:
The next day Moses went into the meeting tent of the Law. And he saw that the walking stick of Aaron for the house of Levi had begun to grow buds and flowers and almonds.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses brought out all the walking sticks from before the Lord to all the people of Israel. They looked, and each man took his stick.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses, “Put the walking stick of Aaron in front of the Law again. It will be something special to see against those who go against My Word. Then you may put an end to their complaining against Me, so they will not die.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the people of Israel said to Moses, “See, we are being destroyed! We are dying! We are all dying!


book: Num
contenido:
Everyone who comes near, who comes near the meeting tent of the Lord, must die. Are we all to be destroyed?”


book: Num
contenido:
The Work of the Religious Leaders and Levites
The Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and those of your father’s house will carry the guilt for any sin done in the meeting tent. And you and your sons with you will carry the guilt of any sin of the religious leaders.


book: Num
contenido:
Bring with you your brothers also, the family of Levi, the family of your father. Then they may join you and help you while you and your sons are in front of the meeting tent of the Law.


book: Num
contenido:
They will help you and help in doing all the work of the tent. But they must not come near the objects of the meeting tent and the altar, or both they and you will die.


book: Num
contenido:
You must do the work of the meeting tent and the work of the altar, so there will no longer be anger on the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
See, I Myself have taken your brothers the Levites from among the people of Israel. They are a gift to you, given to the Lord, to do the work for the meeting tent.


book: Num
contenido:
But you and your sons with you will do the religious work, in all that has to do with the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the work of being the religious leader as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the holy objects will be put to death.”


book: Num
contenido:
Gifts for the Religious Leaders
Then the Lord said to Aaron, “Now see, I am giving you all the gifts brought to Me that are not burned on the altar. I am giving them to you as a share, and to your sons as a share forever.


book: Num
contenido:
This will be yours from the most holy gifts, kept from the fire: every gift of theirs, even every grain gift, every sin gift and every guilt gift, which they bring to Me. They will be most holy for you and your sons.


book: Num
contenido:
And this is yours: their gift that is lifted up and all the wave gifts of the people of Israel. I am giving them to you and to your sons and daughters with you, as a share forever. Everyone in your house who is clean may eat it.


book: Num
contenido:
I give to you all the best of the oil and all the best of the wine and of the grain, the first-fruits of what they give to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
The first-fruits ready to eat of all that is in their land, which they bring to the Lord, will be yours. Everyone in your house who is clean may eat it.


book: Num
contenido:
Every first-born of all flesh, man or animal, which they give to the Lord, will be yours. But you must pay the price and make free the first-born of man and the first-born of animals that are unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
You must make them free when they are one month old. The price to free them will be five large pieces of silver, the price decided upon at the meeting tent. One large piece of silver is worth twenty small pieces of silver.


book: Num
contenido:
But do not free the first-born of a bull or sheep or goat. For they are holy. You will put their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a gift by fire, a pleasing smell to the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
I have given to you and your sons and daughters, for a share forever, all the holy gifts which the people of Israel bring to the Lord. It is an agreement of salt forever before the Lord for you and your children with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Aaron, “You will have no share in their land. You will not own any part of land among them. I am your part and your share among the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
“See, I have given a tenth part of everything in Israel to the Levites, in return for the work they do, the work of the meeting tent.


book: Num
contenido:
The people of Israel must not come near the meeting tent again, or they will be guilty of sin and die.


book: Num
contenido:
Only the Levites may do the work around the meeting tent, and they will carry their sin. It will be a Law forever for all your children-to-come. And they will have no land among the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
For I have given to the Levites one-tenth part of what the people of Israel give to the Lord. This is why I have said of them, ‘They will have no land among the people of Israel.’”


book: Num
contenido:
“Say to the Levites, ‘When you take from the people of Israel the tenth which I have given you from them for your share, then give a gift from it to the Lord. Give one-tenth part of the tenth.


book: Num
contenido:
And your gift will be to you as if it were the grain from the grain-floor or all the wine from the crushed grapes.


book: Num
contenido:
So you must give a gift to the Lord from the tenth of what you receive from the people of Israel. And from it you must give the Lord’s gift to Aaron the religious leader.


book: Num
contenido:
Out of all the gifts to you, you must give every gift that should go to the Lord, from all the best of them. Give the holy part from them.’


book: Num
contenido:
“And say to them, ‘When you have given the best part of it, the rest of it will be to you as if it were the grain from the grain-floor and the wine from the crushed grapes.


book: Num
contenido:
You and those of your houses may eat it in any place. For it is your pay for your work in the meeting tent.


book: Num
contenido:
You will not be guilty because of it, when you have given the best of it. But do not make unclean the holy gifts of the people of Israel, or you will die.’”


book: Num
contenido:
“This is the Law which the Lord has told you. Tell the people of Israel to bring you a young red cow that is perfect, one that has never pulled a load.


book: Num
contenido:
You will give it to Eleazar the religious leader. It will be brought away from the tents and killed in front of him.


book: Num
contenido:
Next Eleazar the religious leader will take some of its blood with his finger, and put some of it toward the front of the meeting tent seven times.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Eleazar will watch the young cow being burned. Its skin, its flesh, its blood and its waste will be burned.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the religious leader will wash his clothes and wash his body in water. After this the religious leader may come among the tents, but he will be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
The one who burns it will also wash his clothes and wash his body in water. And he will be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
Now a man who is clean will gather up the ashes of the young cow and put them in a clean place away from the tents. They will be kept for the people of Israel to mix with the water used to make things clean, to take away sin.


book: Num
contenido:
The one who gathers the ashes of the young cow must wash his clothes. He will be unclean until evening. This will be a Law forever to the people of Israel and to the stranger who lives among them.


book: Num
contenido:
He must clean himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day. Then he will be clean. But if he does not clean himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will be unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
Whoever touches the body of any man who has died, and does not make himself clean, makes the meeting tent of the Lord unclean. That person must be cut off from Israel. Because the water for cleaning was not put upon him, he will be unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
“This is the Law when a man dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent will be unclean for seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
Anyone in an open field who touches one who has been killed with a sword, or who has died, or who touches a bone of a man, or a grave will be unclean for seven days.


book: Num
contenido:
The person who is unclean must take some of the ashes from the burning of the sin gift. Clean water must be added to them in a pot.


book: Num
contenido:
Then a clean person must take hyssop and put it in the water, and put it on the tent and on all the objects within the tent. He must put it on the persons who were there, and on the one who touched the bone or the man who was killed or the dead person or the grave.


book: Num
contenido:
The clean person must put the water on whoever is unclean, on the third day and on the seventh day. He will make him clean on the seventh day. He will wash his clothes and wash himself in water, and will be clean at evening.


book: Num
contenido:
“But the man who is unclean and does not make himself clean, will no longer be one of God’s people. Because he has made unclean the holy place of the Lord. The water for cleaning has not been put on him. He is unclean.


book: Num
contenido:
It will be a Law forever for them. He who puts the water on to be made clean must wash his clothes. And he who touches the water used to be made clean will be unclean until evening.


book: Num
contenido:
Anything that the person who is unclean touches will be unclean. And the person who touches it will be unclean until evening.”


book: Num
contenido:
Water from the Rock
Then all the people of Israel came to the Desert of Zin in the first month. And the people stayed at Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried.


book: Num
contenido:
The people complained to Moses, saying, “If only we had died when our brothers died before the Lord!


book: Num
contenido:
Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us into this bad place? It is not a place of grain, or figs, or vines, or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses and Aaron went from the people to the door of the meeting tent, and bowed to the ground. They saw the shining-greatness of the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
“Take the special stick. You and your brother Aaron gather the people together. Speak to the rock in front of them and it will give its water. So you will bring water out of the rock for them. Let the people and their animals drink.”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses and Aaron gathered the people in front of the rock. And he said to them, “Listen now, you people who go against the Lord. Should we bring water for you out of this rock?”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses lifted up his hand and hit the rock twice with his stick, and more than enough water came out. The people and their animals drank.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not believed Me and honored Me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, you will not bring these people into the land I have given them.”


book: Num
contenido:
These were the waters of Meribah because the people of Israel complained against the Lord, and He proved Himself holy among them.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying, “This is what your brother Israel has said: ‘You know all the troubles we have had.


book: Num
contenido:
Our fathers went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians were bad in the way they acted toward us.


book: Num
contenido:
But we cried out to the Lord. He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt. Now look, we are at Kadesh, a town at the side of your country.


book: Num
contenido:
We ask you to let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vines. We will not even drink water from a well. We will go on the king’s road and will not turn to the right or left, until we pass through your country.’”


book: Num
contenido:
The people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the straight road. If I and my animals do drink any of your water, then I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing else.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Edom said, “You must not pass through.” And Edom came out against him with many men and much strength.


book: Num
contenido:
“Aaron will be buried with his people. For he will not go into the land I have given to the people of Israel, because you went against what I told you to do at the waters of Meribah.


book: Num
contenido:
Take the clothing off Aaron and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will die there and be buried with his people.”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses did just as the Lord had told him. They went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the people.


book: Num
contenido:
After Moses had taken the clothing off Aaron and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.


book: Num
contenido:
When all the people saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel cried in sorrow for Aaron thirty days.


book: Num
contenido:
Battle with the Canaanites
The Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim. He fought against Israel, and took some of them against their will.


book: Num
contenido:
So Israel made a promise to the Lord, and said, “If You will give this people into my hand, I will destroy every part of their cities.”


book: Num
contenido:
The Lord heard the voice of Israel, and gave them the Canaanites. Then Israel destroyed all of them and their cities. So the name of the place was called Hormah.


book: Num
contenido:
The Brass Snake
Then they traveled from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people wanted to give up because of the long way.


book: Num
contenido:
They spoke against God and Moses, saying, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? For there is no food and no water. And we hate this bad food.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord sent snakes with a bite of poison among the people. They bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.


book: Num
contenido:
So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and you. Pray to the Lord, that He will take away the snakes from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.


book: Num
contenido:
The Lord said to Moses, “Make a special snake and put it up on a long piece of wood. Everyone who is bitten will live when he looks at it.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses made a brass snake and put it up on the long piece of wood. If a snake bit any man, he would live when he looked at the brass snake.


book: Num
contenido:
And from there they traveled on and set up their tents on the other side of the Arnon. It is in the desert that goes out from the land of the Amorites. For the Arnon is the side of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.


book: Num
contenido:
From there they went on to Beer. That is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together, so I may give them water.”


book: Num
contenido:
The well, which the leaders dug, which the rulers of the people dug, with the special stick of power and with their walking sticks.” From the desert they went on to Mattanah.


book: Num
contenido:
From Bamoth they went to the valley in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah which looks down upon the desert.


book: Num
contenido:
“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into field or vines. We will not drink water from wells. We will go on the king’s road until we have passed through your country.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his country. He gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the desert. He came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Israel killed Sihon with the sword. They took his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the people of Ammon. For Jazer was the side of the land of the Ammonites.


book: Num
contenido:
Israel took all these cities. They lived in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its towns.


book: Num
contenido:
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites. He had fought against the man who was once the king of Moab, and had taken all his land as far as the Arnon.


book: Num
contenido:
So those who use wise sayings say, “Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! Let the city of Sihon be built.


book: Num
contenido:
For a fire went out from Heshbon, fire from the city of Sihon. It burned up Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.


book: Num
contenido:
It is bad for you, O Moab! You are destroyed, O people of Chemosh! His sons run for their lives. His daughters have been taken against their will by an Amorite king, Sihon.


book: Num
contenido:
But we have put them down. Heshbon is destroyed as far as Dibon. We have destroyed even to Nophah, which goes to Medeba.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses sent men to spy out Jazer in secret. And Israel took its towns and took the place of the Amorites who were there.


book: Num
contenido:
King Og Killed
Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan. Og the king of Bashan went out with all his people to battle at Edrei.


book: Num
contenido:
But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not be afraid of him. For I have given him into your hand, with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon.”


book: Num
contenido:
So the people of Israel killed Og and his sons and all his people, until there was not one left alive. And they took his land.


book: Num
contenido:
Balak Sends for Balaam
Then the people of Israel traveled on and set up their tents in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan beside Jericho.


book: Num
contenido:
So Moab was filled with much fear because of the people, for they were many. Moab was very afraid of the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
And Moab said to the leaders of Midian, “Now these people will take away everything around us like the bull eats up the grass of the field.” Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.


book: Num
contenido:
So he sent men to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the children of his people. They said to him, “See, a people came out of Egypt. See, they cover the land, and they are living beside me.


book: Num
contenido:
Now come, I beg you. Curse this people for me, because they are too strong for me. Then I may be able to win the battle against them and send them out of the land. For I know that good will come to the one you pray for, and trouble will come to the one you curse.”


book: Num
contenido:
So the leaders of Moab and the leaders of Midian left with the pay in their hand for the one who tells what will happen in the future. When they came to Balaam, they told him Balak’s words.


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to them, “Stay here tonight. I will bring word to you as the Lord may speak to me.” So the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.


book: Num
contenido:
‘See, the people who came out of Egypt cover the land. Now come, curse them for me. Then I may be able to fight against them and send them away.’”


book: Num
contenido:
God said to Balaam, “Do not go with them. Do not curse the people, for I have decided that good would come to them.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Balaam got up in the morning and said to Balak’s leaders, “Return to your land. For the Lord will not let me go with you.”


book: Num
contenido:
They came to Balaam and said to him, “Balak the son of Zippor says, ‘I beg you, let nothing keep you from coming to me.


book: Num
contenido:
I will give you much honor. I will do whatever you tell me. I beg you to come and curse these people for me.’”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam answered and said to Balak’s men, “Balak could give me his house full of silver and gold. But I could not do anything, small or big, against the Word of the Lord my God.


book: Num
contenido:
God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, get up and go with them. But do only what I tell you.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam’s Donkey and the Angel
So Balaam got up in the morning and got his donkey ready, and went with the leaders of Moab.


book: Num
contenido:
But God was angry because he was going. The angel of the Lord stood in the way against him. Balaam was sitting on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.


book: Num
contenido:
When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword in his hand, the donkey turned off the road and went into the field. But Balaam hit the donkey to turn her on the road again.


book: Num
contenido:
The donkey saw the angel of the Lord. So she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against it, so he hit her again.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the angel of the Lord went farther. He stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn to the right or the left.


book: Num
contenido:
When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam. So Balaam was angry and hit the donkey with his stick.


book: Num
contenido:
And the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you? Why have you hit me these three times?”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have made a fool of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now!”


book: Num
contenido:
The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have traveled all your life to this day? Have I ever done this to you before?” And Balaam said, “No.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword in his hand. And he bowed to the ground.


book: Num
contenido:
The angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you hit your donkey these three times? See, I have come out against you, because your way was against me.


book: Num
contenido:
But the donkey saw me and turned from me these three times. If she had not turned from me, for sure I would have killed you, and let her live.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. For I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. But now, if it does not please you, I will turn back.”


book: Num
contenido:
The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men. But speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with the leaders of Balak.


book: Num
contenido:
Balak heard that Balaam was coming. He went out to meet him at the city of Moab, on the Arnon, at the far side of the country.


book: Num
contenido:
Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not send men to tell you to come? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”


book: Num
contenido:
Balaam said to Balak, “See, I have come to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The Word that God puts in my mouth is what I must speak.”


book: Num
contenido:
Balak killed bulls and sheep on the altar in worship, and sent some to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.


book: Num
contenido:
The next morning Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal. From there he saw part of the people of Israel.

Then Balaam said to Balak, “Stand beside your burnt gift, and I will go. It might be that the Lord will come to me. And whatever He shows me I will tell you.” So he went up to a hill without trees.


book: Num
contenido:
God met Balaam. Balaam said to Him, “I have made seven altars. And I have given a bull and a ram on each altar in worship.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then the Lord put words in Balaam’s mouth, and said, “Return to Balak. This is what you should say.”

Balaam began speaking and said, “Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east. ‘Come, curse Jacob for me,’ he said. ‘Come, say that Israel should be punished!’


book: Num

How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I say that those should be punished whom God has not said should be punished?

book: Num
contenido:
God is not a man, that He should lie. He is not a son of man, that He should be sorry for what He has said. Has He said, and will He not do it? Has He spoken, and will He not keep His Word?


book: Num
contenido:
No hard times are seen in Jacob. No trouble is seen in Israel. The Lord their God is with them. And the cry of a king is among them.


book: Num
contenido:
For there is no special thing that has been shown against Jacob. Nothing has told of a bad future for Israel. Now it will be said of Jacob and Israel, ‘Look what God has done!’

book: Num
contenido:
Balaam looked up and saw Israel living in their tents by their families. And the Spirit of God came upon him.


book: Num
contenido:
He hears the words of God. He sees what the All-powerful wants him to see. He falls down, but has his eyes open.


book: Num

They are like valleys that spread out, and like gardens beside the river. They are like aloes planted by the Lord, and like cedars beside the waters.

God brings him out of Egypt. He is for him like the horns of the wild bull. He will destroy the nations who fight against him. He will crush their bones in pieces and cut through them with his arrows.


book: Num

He bows down. He lies down like a lion. And as a lion, who will wake him? Good will come to everyone who prays for you. And cursed is everyone who curses you.”


book: Num

Then Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he hit his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse those who hate me. But see, you have done nothing but pray that good would come to them these three times!


book: Num
contenido:
So now run away to your place. I said I would give you much honor, but the Lord has kept you from honor.”


book: Num

He hears the words of God. He knows what the Most High wants him to know. He sees what the All-powerful wants him to see. He falls down, but has his eyes open.


book: Num
contenido:
I see him, but not now. I see him, but he is not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A special stick of power will rise from Israel. It will crush the forehead of Moab, and break down all the sons of Sheth.


book: Num
contenido:
It will take the land of Edom. And it will take the land of Seir, who fights against Israel. And Israel will fight with much power.


book: Num
contenido:
Then Balaam looked at Amalek and said, “Amalek was the first of the nations. But he will be destroyed in the end.”


book: Num

Then he looked at the Kenite and said, “The place where you live is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.

Israel Sins in Moab

So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each of you kill his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor.”


book: Num

book: Num
contenido:
When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, saw it, he rose up from among the people. He took a spear in his hand


book: Num

and went after the man of Israel into the tent. Then he cut through the bodies of both the man of Israel and the woman. So the very bad disease that spread on the people of Israel was stopped.


book: Num
contenido:
“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the religious leader, has turned My anger away from the people of Israel. He was jealous with My jealousy among them, so I did not destroy the people of Israel in My jealousy.


book: Num
contenido:
It will be an agreement for him and his children after him that they will always be religious leaders, because he was jealous for his God, and did what he was to do to pay for the sin of the people of Israel.”

The name of the man of Israel who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri the son of Salu. He was a leader of a father’s house among the Simeonites.


book: Num

The name of the Midianite woman who was killed was Cozbi the daughter of Zur. Zur was the head of the people of a father’s house in Midian.


book: Num

book: Num

They said to him, “Your servants have numbered the men of war whom we lead. Not one man is missing from us.


book: Num
contenido:
We have brought as a gift to the Lord what each man found, objects of gold, things to be worn on the arms and fingers and ears and necks. They are to pay for our sins before the Lord.”

Moses and Eleazar the religious leader took the gold from them, all the objects made of beaten gold.

The Family Groups East of the Jordan
Now the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad had very many cattle. And they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle.


book: Num
contenido:
So the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and said to Moses and Eleazar the religious leader and the leaders of the people,


book: Num
contenido:
the land which the Lord won in battle in front of the people of Israel, is a land for cattle and your servants have cattle.”


book: Num
contenido:
And they said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants as our own. Do not take us to the other side of the Jordan.”


book: Num
contenido:
But Moses said to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, “Should your brothers go to war while you sit here?


book: Num
contenido:
Why do you take from the people of Israel the desire to cross over into the land the Lord has given them?


book: Num
contenido:
They went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land. Then they took the desire away from the people of Israel so that they did not go into the land the Lord had given them.


book: Num
contenido:
‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, twenty years old and older, will see the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For they did not follow Me with all their heart.


book: Num
contenido:
Only Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun will see it. For they have followed the Lord with all their hearts.’


book: Num
contenido:
So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel. He made them travel in the desert forty years, until all the people of that day who had sinned in the eyes of the Lord were destroyed.


book: Num
contenido:
Now see, you have grown up in your fathers’ place, children of sinful men. You add still more to the burning anger of the Lord against Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
For if you turn away from following Him, He will leave them in the desert again and you will destroy all these people.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then they came near him and said, “We will build safe places for our flocks here, and cities for our little ones.


book: Num
contenido:
But we will be ready for battle and will go with the people of Israel until we have brought them to their place. Our little ones will live within the walls of the cities because of the people who live in the land.


book: Num
contenido:
For we will not have any land among them on the other side of the Jordan. Our land has come to us on this side of the Jordan toward the east.”


book: Num
contenido:
All of you men of war cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has driven away those who fight against Him,


book: Num
contenido:
and has won the land in battle. Then after this you may return because you have done your duty to the Lord and to Israel. This land will be your land before the Lord.


book: Num
contenido:
But if you do not do as you say, you have sinned against the Lord. And for sure you will be punished for your sin.


book: Num
contenido:
But your servants, everyone who is ready for war, will cross over before the Lord to battle, just as my lord says.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses gave news about them to Eleazar the religious leader, Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’ houses of the families of the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses said to them, “The sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben, every man ready for battle, are to cross with you over the Jordan before the Lord, and the land will be won. After this, you must give them the land of Gilead for their own.


book: Num
contenido:
But if they will not cross over with you ready for battle, their land must be among you in the land of Canaan.”


book: Num
contenido:
We will cross over into the land of Canaan ready for battle before the Lord. And the land on this side of the Jordan will be ours.”


book: Num
contenido:
So Moses gave the nations of Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan to the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben and the half-family group of Joseph’s son Manasseh. He gave them the land, with its cities and the country around them.


book: Num
contenido:
Bethnimrah and Beth-haran, cities with walls around them. And they made safe places for their sheep.


book: Num
contenido:
Nebo and Baal-meon (their names to be changed), and Sibmah. And they gave other names to the cities they built.


book: Num
contenido:
The sons of Manasseh’s son Machir went to Gilead and took it. They drove away the Amorites who were in it.

From Egypt to Moab
These are the travels of the people of Israel, when Moses and Aaron led them out from the land of Egypt by their armies.


book: Num
contenido:
Moses wrote down the starting places of their travels, as the Lord told him. These are their travels by their starting places.


book: Num

They traveled from Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover the people of Israel started out strong in heart in front of all the Egyptians.


book: Num

The Egyptians were burying all their first-born whom the Lord had killed among them. The Lord had punished their gods also.


book: Num

Then they traveled from Hahiroth and passed through the sea into the desert. They traveled for three days in the desert of Etham, and stayed at Marah.


book: Num

They left Marah and came to Elim. There were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees in Elim, and they stayed there.

They traveled from the mountains of Abarim, and stayed in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho.


book: Num
contenido:
Then drive out all the people living in the land in front of you. Destroy all their cut stones, and all their man-made gods, and all their high places.


book: Num
contenido:
Your families will receive land by drawing names. The larger families should be given more land. The smaller families should be given less land. When a man’s name is drawn, that land will be his. You will receive land by the family groups of your fathers.


book: Num
contenido:
Drive out the people who live in the land in front of you. If you do not, then those who are allowed to stay will be like sharp pieces in your eyes and like thorns in your sides. They will trouble you in the land where you live.


book: Num
contenido:
“Tell the people of Israel, ‘When you go into the land of Canaan, this is the land that will be given to you, all the land of Canaan.


book: Num
contenido:
Your south side will be from the Desert of Zin along the side of Edom. It will go east from the end of the Salt Sea.


book: Num
contenido:
Then the side of your land will turn from the south up to the pass of Akrabbim and on to Zin. Its end will be south of Kadesh-barnea. It will go to Hazaraddar and on to Azmon.


book: Num
contenido:
then down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain. Then it will go down to the hill on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.


book: Num
contenido:
It will go down to the Jordan and end at the Salt Sea. This will be the sides all around your land.’”


book: Num
contenido:
Moses told the people of Israel, “This is the land you will receive by drawing names, which the Lord has said should be given to the nine and a half-family groups.


book: Num

For the sons of Reuben have received their land by their fathers’ houses. The sons of Gad have received theirs by their fathers’ houses. And the half-family group of Manasseh has received their land.


book: Num

The two and a half-family groups have received their land on the other side of the Jordan from Jericho, toward the east.”


book: Num

“Eleazar the religious leader and Joshua the son of Nun are the men who will divide the land to be given to you.


book: Num

Of the sons of Joseph, take Hanniel the son of Ephod as the leader of the family group of the sons of Manasseh.


book: Num

These are the men whom the Lord told to divide the land among the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.


book: Num

“Tell the people of Israel to give the Levites cities to live in from the land they receive. And give the Levites fields around the cities.


book: Num
contenido:
The cities will be theirs to live in. Their fields will be for their cattle and flocks and for all their animals.


book: Num
contenido:
The fields you give the Levites should be around the cities, from the city walls out 500 long steps.


book: Num
contenido:
And you should number 1,000 long steps from the city on the east side, on the south side, on the west side, and on the north side, with the city in the center. These fields around the cities will belong to them for their animals.


book: Num
contenido:
The cities you give the Levites will be the six cities where people can go to be safe. They will be where a man may run to if he has killed another person. And give them forty-two other cities, added to these.


book: Num
contenido:
Take more cities from the larger families of Israel to give to the Levites. And take less cities from the smaller families. Each should give some of its cities to the Levites by how much land is received.”


book: Num
contenido:
choose which cities are to be the ones where you can run to be safe. The man who has killed a person without meaning to may run there.


book: Num
contenido:
The cities will be a safe place for you from the one who wants to punish you. So the one who has killed a person may not die until the people decide if he is guilty or not.


book: Num
contenido:
Give three cities on the east side of the Jordan and three cities in the land of Canaan. They will be the cities where you can go to be safe.


book: Num
contenido:
These six cities will be safe places for the people of Israel and for the stranger and for the one who visits them. Anyone who kills a person without meaning to may run there.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But if he killed him with an iron object, then he is guilty. For sure the killer will be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
If he knocked him down with a stone so that he died, he is guilty. For sure the killer will be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
Or if he hit him with a piece of wood in his hand so that he died, he is guilty. For sure the killer will be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
The man who wants to punish him for the killing will put the killer to death. He will put him to death when he meets him.


book: Num
contenido:
If the killer has pushed him because he hated him, or has thrown something at him after waiting for him, and because of this he died,


book: Num
contenido:
or if he hit him down with his hand because he hated him and killed him, for sure the one who killed him must be put to death. He is guilty. The man who wants to punish him for the killing will put him to death when he meets him.


book: Num
contenido:
‘But if he pushed him without planning to and without hating him, or threw something at him without having waited for him,


book: Num
contenido:
The people will save the killer from the man who wants to punish him. And they will return him to his city where he had gone to be safe. He will live in it until the death of the head religious leader who was set apart with the holy oil.


book: Num
contenido:
But if the man who killed another person at sometime goes outside his city where he went to be safe,


book: Num
contenido:
then the man who wants to punish him will not be guilty of blood if he finds him outside the safe city and kills him.


book: Num
contenido:
Because the man should have stayed in his city to be safe until the death of the head religious leader. But after the head religious leader dies, the man who killed another person may return to his own land.


book: Num
contenido:
If anyone kills a person, the killer must be put to death by what is told by those who saw the killing. But no person may be put to death because of what one person says.


book: Num
contenido:
You must not take pay to save the life of a killer who is guilty of death. But he must be put to death.


book: Num
contenido:
You must not take pay for him who has run to his city to be safe, so that he may return to live in the land before the death of the religious leader.


book: Num
contenido:
You must not make the land where you live unclean. The land is not holy when people are killed. And only the blood of him who is guilty can pay to make the land free from the blood that has fallen on it.


book: Num
contenido:
Do not make the land where you live unclean, in the place where I live. For I the Lord am living among the people of Israel.’”

Married Women and What They Would Get from Their Families
The heads of the fathers’ houses of the family group of the sons of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near. They spoke in front of Moses and the leaders, the heads of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel.


book: Num
contenido:
They said, “The Lord told my lord to give the land to the people of Israel by drawing names. And my lord was told by the Lord to give the land of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.


book: Num
contenido:
But if they marry one of the sons of the other family groups of Israel, then their land would be taken away from what was given to our fathers and would be added to the land of the family group they marry into. So it would be taken from the land that had been given to us.


book: Num
contenido:
When the Year of Jubilee of the people of Israel comes, their land will be added to the land of the family group into which they marry. So their land will be taken from the land of the family group of our fathers.”


book: Num
contenido:
Then Moses told the people of Israel what the Lord said. He said, “The family group of the sons of Joseph are right in what they say.


book: Num
contenido:
This is what the Lord has said about the daughters of Zelophehad: ‘Let them marry whom they think best. Only they must marry within the family group of their father.’


book: Num
contenido:
This way no land of the people of Israel will go from one family group to another. The people of Israel will each hold to the land of the family group of his fathers.


book: Num
contenido:
Every daughter who comes to own the land of any family group of Israel, must be the wife of one of her father’s family group. So every one of the people of Israel may own the land of his fathers.


book: Num
contenido:
No land will go from one family group to another. For the families of Israel will each hold to his own land.”


book: Num
contenido:
Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married sons of their father’s brothers.


book: Num
contenido:
They married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph. And their land stayed with their father’s family group.

Get ready to travel now. Go to the hill country of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, in the hill country and in the valley, in the Negev and by the sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the big river, the river Euphrates.


book: Deut
contenido:
See, I have set the land in front of you. Go in and take for your own the land which the Lord promised to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and to their children after them.’


book: Deut

May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you 1,000 times as many as you are. May He bring good to you just as He has promised you!


book: Deut
contenido:
Choose wise, understanding and able men from your family groups. And I will make them leaders over you.’


book: Deut
contenido:
So I took the leaders of your family groups, wise and able men. I made them leaders over you, leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens, and rulers of your family groups.


book: Deut
contenido:
“Then I said to your judges at that time, ‘Listen to the problems between your brothers. And be right in what you decide between a man and his brother or the stranger who is with him.


book: Deut
contenido:
Do not show favor as you judge. Listen to the small and the great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, because you are judging for God. Bring to me any problem that is too hard for you, and I will hear it.’

Men Are Sent to Spy Out the Land

book: Deut

I said to you, ‘You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God will give us.


book: Deut

See, the Lord your God has set the land in front of you. Go and take it for your own, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or troubled.’


book: Deut

Then all of you came to me and said, ‘Let us send men before us, to spy out the land for us. They will return and tell us which way we should go and which cities we will come to.’


book: Deut
contenido:
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us. And they told us that it is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.


book: Deut

You complained in your tents, saying, ‘Because the Lord hates us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to give us to the Amorites to destroy us.


book: Deut

Where would we be going? Our brothers have made our hearts weak with fear, saying, ‘The people are bigger and taller than we. The cities are large, with walls as high as the heavens. And we have even seen the sons of the Anakim there.’”


book: Deut
contenido:
The Lord your God Who goes before you will Himself fight for you. He did this for you in Egypt in front of your eyes,


book: Deut
contenido:
and in the desert. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way you have walked until you came to this place.’


book: Deut

Who goes before you on your way. He finds a place for you to set up your tents. He uses fire to show you the way to go during the night. During the day He uses a cloud to lead you.


book: Deut

‘Not one of these men of these sinful people will see the good land I promised to give your fathers,

Joshua the son of Nun, who stands in front of you, will go in there. Tell him to be strong, for he will bring Israel into their new land.

book: Deut

“Then you said to me, ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God told us.’ So every man of you put on his sword and thought it an easy thing to go up into the hill country.


book: Deut

The Lord said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up or fight. For I am not among you. You would be destroyed by those who hate you.”’


book: Deut

So I spoke to you but you would not listen. You went against what the Lord told you. In your pride you went up into the hill country.


book: Deut

Then the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you. They came at you like bees, and crushed you from Seir to Hormah.

Years in the Desert
“Then we turned and went into the desert by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord said to me. We went around Mount Seir for many days.


book: Deut
contenido:
Tell the people, “You will pass through the land of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, so be very careful.


book: Deut
contenido:
Do not make them angry. For I will not give you any of their land, not even enough for a foot to step on. I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his own.


book: Deut

You will pay them with money for the food you eat. And you will pay them with money for the water you drink.


book: Deut

For the Lord your God has brought good to you in all you have done. He knows about your traveling through this big desert. The Lord your God has been with you these forty years. You have not been without a thing.”’


book: Deut

“So we moved on from our brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, away from Elath and Ezion-geber. We turned and went by the way of the desert of Moab.


book: Deut

Then the Lord said to me, ‘Do not bring trouble to Moab or fight them in war. For I will not give you any of their land for your own. I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their own.’


book: Deut

The Horites once lived in Seir also. But the sons of Esau took their place. They destroyed them and took the land for themselves, as Israel did to the land which the Lord gave them for their own.)


book: Deut

It was thirty-eight years from the time we left Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the river Zered. By that time all the men of war among us had died, as the Lord had said they would.


book: Deut

But when you come near the land of the sons of Ammon, do not bring them trouble or make them angry. For I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon for your own. Because I have given it to the sons of Lot for their own.’


book: Deut
contenido:
(It is known as the land of the Rephaim also. For Rephaim once lived in it. But the Amorites call them Zamzummin,

a people as great, as many and as tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them, and the sons of Ammon took their place and lived in their land.


book: Deut

It was as He did for the sons of Esau, who live in Seir. He destroyed the Horites, and the sons of Esau took their place and live in their land even to this day.


book: Deut

Battle with King Sihon

‘Let me pass through your land. I will travel only on the road. I will not turn to the right or to the left.


book: Deut
contenido:
You will sell me food for money so I may eat, and give me water for money so I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot


book: Deut

as the sons of Esau did for us in Seir and the Moabites in Ar. Do this until I cross over the Jordan into the land the Lord our God is giving us.’


book: Deut
contenido:
But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing to let us pass through his land. For the Lord your God made his spirit and heart hard, so He might give him into your hand, as he is today.


book: Deut
contenido:
Then the Lord said to me, ‘See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land to you. Begin to take it for your own, so you may live in it.’


book: Deut

So we took all his cities at that time, and destroyed every man, woman and child in them. We left no one alive.


book: Deut

There was no city too strong for us, from Aroer by the valley of Arnon, and from the city which is in the valley, as far as Gilead. The Lord our God gave all to us.

So the Lord our God gave us Og king of Bashan and all his people also. We destroyed them until no one was left alive.


book: Deut

And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we did not take from them. We took sixty cities, the whole land of Argob, the nation of Og in Bashan.


book: Deut

All these cities were built strong, with high walls, gates and iron. There were many towns without walls also.


book: Deut
contenido:
We destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon king of Heshbon. We destroyed every man, woman and child in every city.

So we took the land at that time from the two kings of the Amorites who were on the east side of the Jordan, from the valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon


book: Deut

We took all the cities of the plain and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the nation of Og in Bashan.

To the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave from Gilead to the valley of Arnon, from the center of the valley to the river Jabbok, beside the Ammonites.


book: Deut

I gave them the Arabah also, with the Jordan as its west side, from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, at the bottom of the hills of Pisgah on the east.


book: Deut

“At that time I told you, ‘The Lord your God has given you this land for your own. All you men with strength of heart will cross over ready to fight before your brothers, the sons of Israel.


book: Deut

But your wives, your little ones and your animals (I know you have many animals) will stay in your cities that I have given you.


book: Deut

They will stay until the Lord gives rest to your brothers as He has to you, and until they own the land the Lord your God will give them on the other side of the Jordan. Then every one of you may return to what is his, which I have given you.’

Let Me alone, so I may destroy them and destroy their name from under heaven. I will make you into a nation that will be greater and stronger than they.’

Worshiping False Gods
“A man who tells what is going to happen or a dreamer of dreams may come among you. He may give you something special to see or do a powerful work.


book: Deut

And what he tells you will happen might come true. But if he says to you, ‘Let us follow other gods (whom you have not known) and let us worship them,’


book: Deut
contenido:
do not listen to the words of that man who tells you what will happen or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is putting you to the test to see if you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.


book: Deut
contenido:
Follow the Lord your God and fear Him. Keep His Laws, and listen to His voice. Work for Him, and hold on to Him.


book: Deut
contenido:
But that man who tells what is going to happen or that dreamer of dreams must be put to death, because he has talked to you about turning away from the Lord your God Who brought you from the land of Egypt and set you free from the land where you were servants. That man tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God told you to walk. You must take the sinful away from you.


book: Deut
contenido:
“Your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your friend who is as your own soul, might tempt you in secret. They might say, ‘Let us go and worship other gods’ (whom you and your fathers have not known.

Kill him with stones, because he has tried to turn you away from the Lord your God Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land where you were servants.


book: Deut
contenido:
that some men of no worth have gone out from among you to tempt those who live in their city. They might say, ‘Let us go and worship other gods,’ (whom you have not known).


book: Deut
contenido:
Then you should ask around and try to find out if this is true. If it is true that this sinful thing has been done among you,


book: Deut
contenido:
you must be sure to go against those of that city with the sword. Destroy all of it, all that is in it, and its cattle, with the sword.


book: Deut
contenido:
Then gather all that is left into the center of the city. Burn the city and all that is left in it with fire as a whole burnt gift to the Lord your God. It will be destroyed forever. It will never be built again.

Good and Bad Foods

contenido:
For you are a holy nation to the Lord your God. The Lord has chosen you to be His own nation out of all the nations on the earth.


book: Deut
contenido:
But you must not eat of those that chew their food again or have a divided foot: the camel, the rabbit and the rock badger. For though they eat their food again, they do not have a divided foot. They are unclean to you.

And do not eat the pig, because it has a divided foot but does not chew its food again. It is unclean for you. Do not eat any of their flesh or touch their dead bodies.


book: Deut

“Do not eat anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the stranger in your town, so he may eat it. Or you may sell it to a person from another land. For you are a holy nation to the Lord your God.

Before the Lord your God, at the place He chooses to put His name, you may eat the tenth part of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the first-born of your cattle and your flock. Then you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.


book: Deut
contenido:
If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far away for you to bring the tenth part of all the good things you have received,

you should trade it for money. Then tie the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.

“At the end of every third year you should bring the tenth part of that year’s grain into your towns.


book: Deut
contenido:
And the Levite who has no share of what is given to you, and the stranger, and the child without parents, and the woman whose husband has died, who are in your towns, may come and eat and be filled. Then the Lord your God will bring good to you in all the work done by your hands.


book: Deut
contenido:
This is the way you are to do it: Every man who has loaned money must forget the debt. He cannot make his neighbor and his brother pay it because the Lord has said that all should be forgotten.


book: Deut
contenido:
Yet there will be no poor among you for the Lord will be sure to bring good to you in the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.


book: Deut
contenido:
But you must listen and obey the voice of the Lord your God. Be careful to do all the Law which I am telling you today.


book: Deut

The Lord your God will bring good to you as He has promised. You will let many nations use what belongs to you but you will not use what belongs to them. You will rule over many nations but they will not rule over you.


book: Deut
contenido:
“In any of the towns in your land the Lord your God is giving you, if there is anyone poor among you, do not let your heart be hard and not be willing to help him.


book: Deut
contenido:
Be careful that there is no sinful thought in your heart, saying, ‘It is almost the seventh year, the time to do away with the debt owed to me,’ so you look on your brother with hate and give him nothing. Then he may cry to the Lord against you and you may be guilty of sin.


book: Deut
contenido:
Give much to him, without being sorry that you do. Because the Lord your God will bring good to you for this, in all your work and in everything you do.


book: Deut

The poor will always be in the land. So I tell you to be free in giving to your brother, to those in need, and to the poor in your land.


book: Deut
contenido:
“If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, he will work for you six years. But you must set him free in the seventh year.


book: Deut
contenido:
Give him much from your flock, from your grain, and from your wine. Give to him as the Lord your God has given to you.


book: Deut
contenido:
Remember that you were servants in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God set you free. And so I am telling you today to do this.


book: Deut
contenido:
But he may say to you, ‘I will not leave you,’ because he loves you and those of your house and gets along well with you.


book: Deut
contenido:
Then take a sharp tool and put it through his ear into the door. And he will be your servant forever. Do the same with your woman servant.


book: Deut
contenido:
It should not be hard for you to set him free for he has worked for you six years. He has been worth twice as much as a man paid to work for you. The Lord your God will bring good to you in whatever you do.


book: Deut
contenido:
“Set apart for the Lord your God all the first-born males among your cattle and your flock. Do no work with the first-born of your cattle. Do not cut the wool from the first-born of your flock.

You and those of your house will eat it every year before the Lord your God in the place the Lord chooses.


book: Deut

book: Deut

For seven days there is to be no yeast around in all your land. And none of the flesh you give in worship on the evening of the first day will be kept through the night until morning.

Those Who Judge
“Choose judges and other leaders for all your towns the Lord your God is giving you, among each of your family groups. They must be wise in judging the people.

“This is the law of the person who kills another and runs to a city to save his life. He might have killed his friend without meaning to, a friend he did not hate in the past.


book: Deut
contenido:
He could have gone among the trees with his friend to cut wood. As he was using his ax to cut down a tree, the ax head could have come off the stick and hit his friend, killing him. Then he may run to one of these cities and live.

book: Deut

then both men who are arguing should stand before the Lord, in front of the religious leaders and the judges who are at work at that time.


book: Deut

When we heard it, our hearts became weak. No man had strength of heart any more because of you. For the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now I have shown you kindness. So I beg of you, promise me by the Lord that you will show kindness to those of my father’s house. Give me something to show that you will be faithful.


book: Josh
contenido:
Do not kill my father and mother and my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them. Save us from death.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the men said to her, “Our life for yours! If you do not tell anyone what we are doing, we will be faithful and show you kindness when the Lord gives us the land.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then she let them down by a rope through the window. She lived in her house that was built on top of the city wall.


book: Josh
contenido:
She said to them, “Go to the hill country, or those who are looking for you might find you. For three days hide yourselves there until those who are looking for you return. Then you may go on your way.”


book: Josh
contenido:
unless, when we come into the land, you tie this red rope in the window you let us down through. Bring your father and mother, your brothers and all those of your father’s house into your house.


book: Josh
contenido:
If anyone goes out through the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head. We will not be guilty for his death. But if a hand is laid upon anyone who is with you in the house, his blood will be on our head.


book: Josh
contenido:
She said, “Let it be as you have said.” Then she sent them away, and tied the red rope in the window.


book: Josh
contenido:
They left and came to the hill country and stayed there for three days until those who were looking for them returned. The men had looked for them all along the road, but had not found them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the two men came down from the hill country, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Joshua the son of Nun. They told him all that had happened to them.


book: Josh
contenido:
They said to Joshua, “For sure the Lord has given all the land into our hands. All the people living in the land have become weak with fear because of us.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua got up early in the morning. He and all the people of Israel left Shittim and came to the Jordan. And they stayed there before they crossed.


book: Josh
contenido:
They told the people, “When you see the special box of the agreement of the Lord your God with the religious leaders carrying it, leave your places and follow it.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then you may know the way to go, for you have not passed this way before. But stay about 1,000 long steps away from it. Do not come near it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua said to the people, “Make yourselves holy. For tomorrow the Lord will do powerful works among you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said to the religious leaders, “Take up the special box of the agreement and cross over in front of the people.” So they took up the special box of the agreement and went in front of the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to give you honor in the eyes of all Israel. Then they may know that I will be with you just as I have been with Moses.


book: Josh
contenido:
Tell the religious leaders who are carrying the special box of the agreement, ‘When you come to the water of the Jordan River, stand still in it.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said, “You will know that the living God is among you because He will be sure to drive away from in front of you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite and the Jebusite.


book: Josh
contenido:
See, the special box of the agreement of the Lord of All the earth is crossing over in front of you in the Jordan.


book: Josh
contenido:
The religious leaders who carry the special box of the agreement of the Lord of All the earth, will rest their feet in the water of the Jordan. Then the water of the Jordan will be cut off. The water flowing down from above will gather together in one place.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the people left their tents to cross the Jordan. The religious leaders carried the special box of the agreement in front of the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
They carried it to the Jordan and put their feet in the water. (For the Jordan water floods during the time of gathering grain.)


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the water flowing down from above stood and rose up in one place far away at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. The water flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, was all cut off. So the people crossed beside Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
The religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement of the Lord stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan. And all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had crossed the Jordan.


book: Josh
contenido:
Tell them, ‘Take twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan. Take them from the place where the religious leaders’ feet are standing. Carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you stay tonight.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said to them, “Go into the middle of the Jordan in front of the special box of the agreement of the Lord your God. Each of you take a stone on his shoulder, one for each of the twelve family groups of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Let this be something special among you. Your children will ask you later, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’


book: Josh
contenido:
Then you will tell them that the water of the Jordan was cut off before the special box of the agreement of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the water of the Jordan was cut off. So these stones will become something to remember to the people of Israel forever.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The sons of Israel did as Joshua told them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the Lord told Joshua. There was one stone for each family group of the sons of Israel. They carried them over with them to the place where they stayed, and put them down there.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua set up twelve stones at the place where the feet of the religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement were standing in the middle of the Jordan. They are there to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
The religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement stood in the middle of the Jordan. They stood there until everything was finished that the Lord told Joshua to tell the people, all that Moses had told Joshua.
The people crossed in a hurry.


book: Josh
contenido:
When all the people were over, they watched the religious leaders carry the special box of the agreement to the other side.


book: Josh
contenido:
The sons of Reuben and Gad and the half-family group of Manasseh crossed over ready for battle before the people of Israel, just as Moses had told them.


book: Josh
contenido:
On that day the Lord gave Joshua honor in the eyes of all Israel. So they honored him as a great man just as they had honored Moses all the days of his life.


book: Josh
contenido:
The religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement of the Lord came up from the middle of the Jordan. When their feet stepped on dry ground, the water of the Jordan returned to its place. It flowed over its sides as before.


book: Josh
contenido:
The people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month. Then they stayed at Gilgal on the east side of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
He said to the people of Israel, “Your children will ask their fathers some time in the future, ‘What do these stones mean?’


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you until you had crossed. It was just as the Lord your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now all the people of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is powerful, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”


book: Josh
contenido:
All the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings by the sea heard how the Lord had dried up the water of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed. And their hearts became weak. There was no spirit in them any more because of the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Make knives for yourselves out of hard stone. And cut the piece of skin from the sex part of the sons of Israel as before.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua made knives of hard stone. Then he had the sons of Israel go through this religious act at Gibeath-haaraloth.


book: Josh
contenido:
This is the reason why Joshua had them go through this religious act. All the males who had come out of Egypt, all the soldiers, had died in the desert on the way from Egypt.


book: Josh
contenido:
All the people who came out went through this religious act. But all the people who were born in the desert on the way from Egypt had not gone through this religious act.


book: Josh
contenido:
For the people of Israel walked forty years in the desert, until all the men of war who came out of Egypt died, because they did not listen to the voice of the Lord. The Lord had promised them that He would not let them see the land He had promised to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua went through the religious act on their children, whom the Lord raised up in their place. For they had not gone through this religious act along the way.


book: Josh
contenido:
When the whole nation had gone through this religious act, they stayed in their places among the tents until they were healed.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away from you the shame of Egypt.” So the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
The people of Israel stayed at Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
On the very next day after the Passover, they ate some of the food of the land. They ate bread without yeast, and dry grain.


book: Josh
contenido:
The bread from heaven stopped on the day after they had eaten some of the food of the land. So the people of Israel no longer had bread from heaven. But they ate food of the land of Canaan during that year.


book: Josh
contenido:
When Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing near him with his sword in his hand. Joshua went to him and said, “Are you for us or for those who hate us?”


book: Josh
contenido:
“No,” He said, “I have now come as Captain of the army of the Lord.” Joshua fell on his face to the ground and worshiped, and said to Him, “What has my Lord to say to His servant?”


book: Josh
contenido:
The Captain of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off your feet. For the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now the gates of Jericho were all shut because of the people of Israel. No one went out and no one came in.


book: Josh
contenido:
Seven religious leaders will carry seven rams’ horns. They will walk in front of the special box of the agreement. Then on the seventh day you will walk around the city seven times. And the religious leaders will blow horns.


book: Josh
contenido:
When you hear the long sound of the ram’s horn, all the people should call out with a loud noise. The wall of the city will fall to the ground. And then all the people will all go in the city.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua the son of Nun called the religious leaders and said to them, “Take up the special box of the agreement. And let seven religious leaders carry seven rams’ horns in front of the special box of the agreement.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then he said to the people, “Go and walk around the city. Let the men ready for battle go in front of the special box of the agreement.”


book: Josh
contenido:
When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven religious leaders carrying the seven rams’ horns before the Lord walked on and blew the horns. And the special box of the agreement of the Lord followed them.


book: Josh
contenido:
The men ready for battle went in front of the religious leaders who blew the horns. The other soldiers came behind the special box of the agreement while the horns sounded without stopping.


book: Josh
contenido:
But Joshua told the people, “Do not call out or let your voice be heard. Not a word should come from your mouth until the day I tell you to call out. Then you must call out.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So he had the special box of the agreement taken around the city once. Then they returned to the tents and stayed there through the night.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua got up early in the morning. And the religious leaders took up the special box of the agreement.


book: Josh
contenido:
The seven religious leaders carrying the seven rams’ horns in front of the special box of the agreement began walking and blew the horns without stopping. The men ready for battle went in front of them. The other soldiers came behind the special box of the agreement. And the horns sounded without stopping.


book: Josh
contenido:
The second day they walked around the city once. Then they returned to the tents. They did this for six days.


book: Josh
contenido:
On the seventh day they got up early at the rising of the sun. They walked around the city in the same way, but on that day they walked around the city seven times.


book: Josh
contenido:
The seventh time, when the religious leaders blew their horns, Joshua said to the people, “Call out! For the Lord has given you the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
The city and all that is in it must be destroyed because everything in it belongs to the Lord. Only Rahab, the woman who sells the use of her body, and all who are with her in the house will live, because she hid the men we sent.


book: Josh
contenido:
But keep yourselves from the things that are to be destroyed. Or while you give them up to be destroyed, you might desire them. Then you would make the camp of Israel sinful also, and bring trouble on it.


book: Josh
contenido:
But all the silver and gold and objects of brass and iron are holy to the Lord. They will go into the store-house of the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the people called out and the religious leaders blew the horns. When the people heard the sound of the horns, they called out even louder. And the wall fell to the ground. All the people went straight in and took the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
They destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkey, with the sword.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the woman who sells the use of her body. Bring out the woman and all who are with her, as you promised her.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the young men who had spied out the land went in, and brought out Rahab and her father and mother and brothers and all she had. They brought out all of her family and took them outside the tents of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold and objects of brass and iron they put into the store-house of the holy tent of the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua saved the life of Rahab, the woman who sold the use of her body, and those of her father’s house and all she had. She has lived among Israel to this day, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua made them promise at that time, saying, “May the Lord destroy the man who gets up and builds this city of Jericho. With the loss of his first-born he will begin to build it. With the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”


book: Josh
contenido:
But the people of Israel sinned with the things that were to be destroyed. Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the family of Judah, took some of the things that were to be destroyed. So the Lord was very angry with the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel. He said to them, “Go and spy out the land in secret.” So the men went and spied out Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Do not have all the people go there. Only about 2,000 or 3,000 men need to go to Ai. Do not make the whole army fight, for the people of Ai are few.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and ran after them from the gate as far as Shebarim. And they killed more on the way down. So the hearts of the people became weak. They became like water.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua and the leaders of Israel tore their clothes. They fell with their faces on the ground in front of the special box of the agreement until evening. And they put dust on their heads.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said, “O Lord God, why did You ever bring this nation over the Jordan, only to give us into the hand of the Amorites to be destroyed? If only we had been willing to live on the other side of the Jordan!


book: Josh
contenido:
The Canaanites and all the people living in the land will hear of it. They will gather around us and destroy our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”


book: Josh
contenido:
Israel has sinned. They have gone against My agreement which I told them to keep. They have even taken some of the things that were to be destroyed. They have stolen and lied. And they have put them among their own things.


book: Josh
contenido:
That is why the people of Israel cannot stand in front of those who fight against them. They turn their backs in front of those who hate them because they are being punished. I will not be with you any more unless you destroy the things among you that should be destroyed.


book: Josh
contenido:
Get up! Set apart the people and say, ‘Make yourselves holy for tomorrow. For the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, “There are things among you which should be destroyed, O Israel. You cannot stand in front of those who fight against you until you take away the things among you which should be destroyed.”


book: Josh
contenido:
In the morning you must come near by your family groups. Then the family group which the Lord takes must come near by families. The family which the Lord takes must come near by tents. And the tent which the Lord takes must come near man by man.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the one who is taken with the things which should have been destroyed must be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him because he has sinned against the agreement of the Lord. He has done an act of shame in Israel.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua got up early in the morning and brought Israel near by family groups. The family group of Judah was taken.


book: Josh
contenido:
He brought the family group of Judah near. And he took the family of the Zerahites. He brought the family of the Zerahites near man by man. Zabdi was taken.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then he brought those of Zabdi’s tent near man by man. And Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the family of Judah, was taken.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give honor and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel. Tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Achan answered Joshua, saying, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did.


book: Josh
contenido:
I saw among what was left of the city a beautiful coat from Shinar. I saw 200 pieces of silver, and a large piece of gold as heavy as fifty pieces of silver. I had a desire for them and took them. See, they are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver under it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
They took these things from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the people of Israel. And they laid them down before the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the coat, the large piece of gold, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys, sheep, tent and all that belonged to him. They brought them to the valley of Achor.


book: Josh
contenido:
And Joshua said, “Why have you brought trouble upon us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” Then all Israel threw stones at them. After that they burned them with fire.


book: Josh
contenido:
They put many stones over him that stand to this day. Then the Lord was no longer angry. The name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid. Take all the men of war with you and go up to Ai. See, I have given the king of Ai into your hand, his people, his city, and his land.


book: Josh
contenido:
Do the same to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Take only its riches and its cattle for yourselves. Hide men behind the city to fight against it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua and all the men of war got ready to go up to Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 strong soldiers, and sent them out during the night.


book: Josh
contenido:
He told them, “See, you are going to fight the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.


book: Josh
contenido:
I and all the people will come near the city. When they come out to meet us as they did before, we will run from them.


book: Josh
contenido:
They will come out after us until we have taken them away from the city. For they will say, ‘They are running from us as they did before.’ So we will run from them.


book: Josh
contenido:
When Joshua sent them away, they went to the hiding place. They waited between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai. But Joshua stayed that night among the people.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua got up early in the morning and gathered the people. Then he went up with the leaders of Israel in front of the people to Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
All the men of war who were with him went up and came to the front of the city. They stayed on the north side of Ai. There was a valley between him and Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
So they put the men in their places. There was the army on the north side of the city, and the secret army on the west side of the city. But Joshua stayed that night in the center of the valley.


book: Josh
contenido:
The king of Ai saw this. So the men of the city were quick to get up early and go out to meet Israel in battle at the chosen place near the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an army hiding behind the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
All the people in the city were called together to go after them. They went after Joshua, and were taken away from the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel. They left the city open and ran after Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Hold out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai. For I will give the city to you.” So Joshua held out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.


book: Josh
contenido:
The men who were hiding got up in a hurry from their place and ran when he held out his hand. They went into the city and took it, and were quick to set it on fire.


book: Josh
contenido:
When the men of Ai looked back, they saw the smoke of the city going up to the sky. They had no place to run. Then the people of Israel who had been running away in the desert turned against those who went after them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua and all Israel saw that the men who had been hiding had taken the city. They saw the smoke from the city, so they turned around and killed the men of Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
The others came out from the city to meet them. The men of Ai were caught in the center of Israel. There were some on one side and some on the other side. They killed until no one was left alive. No one got away.


book: Josh
contenido:
Israel killed all the men of Ai in the field and in the desert where they had run after them. All of them were killed with the sword until they were destroyed. Then all Israel returned to Ai and destroyed it with the sword.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua did not put down his hand he used to hold out the spear until he had destroyed all the people of Ai.


book: Josh
contenido:
Israel took only the cattle and the riches of that city for themselves, as the Lord had told Joshua.


book: Josh
contenido:
He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. When the sun went down, Joshua had them take his body down from the tree and throw it down at the gate of the city. They put many stones over it, and they are there to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
It was built just as the Lord’s servant Moses had told the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the Law of Moses. It was an altar made of stones which had not been cut. No one had used an iron object on them. On the altar they gave burnt gifts in worship to the Lord. And there they gave peace gifts in worship.


book: Josh
contenido:
All Israel stood on both sides of the special box, in front of the Levite religious leaders who carried the special box of the agreement of the Lord. Strangers stood there as well as those born among the people, with their leaders and heads and men who judge between what is right or wrong. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim. The other half stood in front of Mount Ebal. They did just as the Lord’s servant Moses had told them before. They prayed for good to come to the people of Israel.


book: Josh
contenido:
After this Joshua read all the words of the Law, the good and the bad that will happen. He read all that is written in the book of the Law.


book: Josh
contenido:
There was not a word of all that Moses had said which Joshua did not read. He read it in front of all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers who were living among them.


book: Josh
contenido:
The kings west of the Jordan, in the hill country and the valleys and beside the Great Sea toward Lebanon all heard what had happened. These kings were of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.


book: Josh
contenido:
So they went out to fool him, as men from another land. They took old bags on their donkeys, and skin bags of wine that were old and torn and mended.


book: Josh
contenido:
They wore old and mended shoes on their feet, and old clothes on themselves. All their bread was dry and broken.


book: Josh
contenido:
They went to Joshua among the tents at Gilgal. And they said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now make an agreement with us.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The men of Israel said to the Hivites, “It may be that you are living within our land. How then can we make an agreement with you?”


book: Josh
contenido:
But they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Then Joshua said to them, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”


book: Josh
contenido:
They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very far country because of the name of the Lord your God. For we have heard about Him and all He did in Egypt.


book: Josh
contenido:
We heard what He did to the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan who was at Ashtaroth.


book: Josh
contenido:
So our leaders and all the people of our country said to us, ‘Take what you need for traveling. Go to meet them and tell them, “We are your servants. Now make an agreement with us.’”


book: Josh
contenido:
Our bread was warm when we took it along with what we needed from our houses on the day we left to come to you. But now look, it is dry and broken.


book: Josh
contenido:
These skin bags that we filled with wine were new. Now look, they are torn. And our clothes and shoes have become old because of the very long way we had to travel.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua made peace with them and made an agreement with them, to let them live. And the leaders of the people made a promise to them.


book: Josh
contenido:
But three days after they had made an agreement with them, they heard that they were neighbors who lived in their land.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the people of Israel left that place and came to their cities on the third day. Their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.


book: Josh
contenido:
But the people of Israel did not kill them because the leaders of the people had made a promise to them by the Lord the God of Israel. All the people complained against the leaders.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then all the leaders said to all the people, “We have made a promise to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. Now we cannot touch them.


book: Josh
contenido:
This is what we will do to them. We will let them live, or anger would be upon us for the promise we swore to them.”


book: Josh
contenido:
And the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they cut wood and brought water for all the people, as the leaders had told them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua called them and said, “Why have you lied to us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you are living within our land?


book: Josh
contenido:
Now you are cursed. You will never stop being servants, cutting wood and bringing water, for the house of my God.”


book: Josh
contenido:
They answered Joshua, “Because it was told to your servants that the Lord your God had told His servant Moses to give you all the land and kill all the people of the land in front of you. We were very much afraid for our lives because of you. That is why we have done this thing.


book: Josh
contenido:
So he did this to them. He saved them from the hands of the people of Israel. They did not kill them.


book: Josh
contenido:
But on that day Joshua made them cut wood and bring water for the people of Israel and for the altar of the Lord, at whatever place He chooses. That was to be their work to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and had destroyed it. Joshua had done the same thing to Ai and its king that he had done to Jericho and its king. Adoni-zedek heard that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them.


book: Josh
contenido:
He was very much afraid. Because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the cities of a king. It was larger than Ai. All its men were strong.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Adoni-zedek of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon. He said to them,


book: Josh
contenido:
“Come and help me. Let us go fight against Gibeon. For it has made peace with Joshua and the people of Israel.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the five kings of the Amorites, the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon, gathered together with all their armies. And they went and set up their tents by Gibeon, to fight against it.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua at the tents at Gilgal, saying, “Do not leave your servants alone. Hurry and help us. For all the kings of the Amorites who live in the hill country have gathered against us.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them. For I have given them into your hands. Not one of them will stand in front of you.”


book: Josh

The Lord brought trouble upon the Amorites in front of Israel. He killed many of them at Gibeon, and went after them on the way up to Beth-horon. He killed them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.


book: Josh

They ran from Israel. And while they ran from Beth-horon, the Lord made large hail-stones fall from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. More died from the hail-stones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword.


book: Josh

Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord made the Amorites lose the war against the sons of Israel. He said, in the eyes of Israel, “O sun, stand still at Gibeon. O moon, stand still in the valley of Aijalon.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So the sun stood still and the moon stopped, until the nation punished those who fought against them. Is it not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the center of the sky. It did not hurry to go down for about a whole day.


book: Josh

There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel.

And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the opening of the cave. Then put men there to watch over them.

Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid or troubled. Be strong and have strength of heart. For the Lord will do this to all who hate you and fight against you.”

Joshua took Makkedah on that day. He destroyed it and its king with the sword. He destroyed all of it and every person in it. No one was left alive. He did the same to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.


book: Josh

The Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel also. Joshua destroyed it and every person in it with the sword. He left no one alive. So he did the same to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

book: Josh

He took it, its king and all its cities. He destroyed them with the sword. Every person in it was destroyed. No one was left alive. He did the same to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and Libnah and their kings.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua won the war against the whole land, the hill country, the Negev, the valleys, the hill-sides, and all their kings. He left no one alive. He destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had told him.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua killed them from Kadesh-barnea as far as Gaza. He killed them in all the country of Goshen as far as Gibeon.


book: Josh

Joshua took all these kings and their lands at the same time. Because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

Jabin king of Hazor heard what had happened. He sent news to Jobab king of Madon and to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph.

He sent news to the kings in the hill country to the north, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the valleys, and in the high land of Dor to the west.

All of these kings met and came and stayed together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.


book: Josh

book: Josh

Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him. He cut the legs of their horses and burned their war-wagons with fire.

book: Josh
contenido:
He took the land from Mount Halak which goes up to Seir as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon at the base of Mount Hermon. He took all their kings and killed them.


book: Josh
contenido:
There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon. They took them all in battle.


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord made their hearts hard to meet Israel in battle, so Israel might destroy all of them. They would not be shown pity but would be destroyed, just as the Lord had told Moses.


book: Josh
contenido:
At that time Joshua went and killed the big powerful men in the hill country. He killed them in Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua destroyed all of them with their cities.


book: Josh
contenido:
There were no big powerful men left in the land of the people of Israel. Some were left only in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua took the whole land, just as the Lord had told Moses. And Joshua gave it as a gift to Israel, a share for each family group. Then the land had rest from war.

He gave them the hill country, the valleys, the Arabah, the hill-sides, the desert, and the Negev. It was the land of the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.)

The other half-family group, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their gift of land which Moses gave them east of the Jordan, just as the Lord’s servant Moses gave it to them.

It spread from Aroer, beside the Arnon valley, and the city in the center of the valley, and the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon,


book: Josh

and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon. And it went as far as the land of the Ammonites,


book: Josh

and Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and Maacathites. They received all Mount Hermon, all Bashan as far as Salecah,


book: Josh
contenido:
and all the nation of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. (He alone was left of the Rephaim still living.) For Moses had won the war against them and had driven them out.


book: Josh
contenido:
But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. For Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.


book: Josh

These are the lands which Moses divided in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan east of Jericho.

book: Josh

Their share was decided upon by drawing names, as the Lord told Moses, for the nine families and the half-family group.


book: Josh
contenido:
For Moses had given land to the two families and the half-family group east of the Jordan. But he did not give land to the Levites among them.


book: Josh
contenido:
Because the sons of Joseph were two families, Manasseh and Ephraim. And they did not give part of the land to the Levites. They only gave them cities to live in, with fields for their animals and whatever they had.


book: Josh
contenido:
Then the sons of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God about you and me in Kadesh-barnea.


book: Josh
contenido:
I was forty years old when the Lord’s servant Moses sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land. I returned with news for him as it was in my heart.


book: Josh
contenido:
My brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people weak with fear. But I followed the Lord my God with all my heart.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Moses promised on that day, ‘For sure the land where your foot has stepped will be a gift to you and your children forever. Because you have followed the Lord my God with all your heart.’


book: Josh
contenido:
Now see, the Lord has let me live, as He said, these forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel walked in the desert. Today I am eighty-five years old.


book: Josh
contenido:
I am as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me. I am as strong now as I was then, for war, or for anything.


book: Josh
contenido:
So now give me this hill country the Lord spoke about on that day. For you heard then that big powerful men were there, with strong cities with high walls. If the Lord will be with me, I will drive them out just as the Lord said.”


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua prayed that God would favor him. And he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his share.


book: Josh
contenido:
Hebron became the land of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day. Because he followed the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.


book: Josh

The name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba. For Arba was the most powerful among the big powerful men. Then the land had rest from war.


book: Josh

The share of land for the family group of the people of Judah by their families was south to the land of Edom. It went to the Desert of Zin at the far south.

The west side of their land was along the side of the Great Sea. These are the sides of the land of the people of Judah by their families.


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a share among the people of Judah, as the Lord told him. It was Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), named for Arba, the father of Anak.


book: Josh
contenido:
Caleb drove away from there the three sons of Anak. The children of Anak were Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.


book: Josh
contenido:
From there he went to fight against the people of Debir. The name of Debir had been Kiriath-sepher before.


book: Josh
contenido:
Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who fights against Kiriath-sepher and takes it.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.


book: Josh
contenido:
When she came to Othniel, she talked him into asking her father for a field. When she got down off her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”


book: Josh
contenido:
Achsah answered, “Give me a gift. You have given me the land of the Negev. Give me wells of water also.” So Caleb gave her the wells in the high-land and in the valley.


book: Josh
contenido:
The cities of the family of Judah in the far south, toward the land of Edom, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,

And there were Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah, two cities with the towns around them.

book: Josh

The share of land for the people of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho, east of the waters of Jericho, into the desert. It went from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

Then it went west to the land of the Japhletites, as far as the land of lower Beth-horon, and to Gezer. It ended at the sea.


book: Josh

The land of the people of Ephraim by their families on the east side was Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Bethhoron.


book: Josh

Then the side of the land went toward the sea, with Michmethath on the north, and turned east to Taanath-shiloh, and on to the east side of Janoah.


book: Josh
contenido:
From Tappuah it went west to the river of Kanah and ended at the sea. This is the land given to the family group of the people of Ephraim for their families.


book: Josh
contenido:
And there are the cities which were set apart for the people of Ephraim within the land that was given to the people of Manasseh, all the cities with the towns around them.


book: Josh
contenido:
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites live among Ephraim to this day. But they have been made to work for the people of Ephraim.


book: Josh
contenido:
This was the share of land given to the family of Manasseh, the first-born of Joseph. Gilead and Bashan were given to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war.


book: Josh
contenido:
And land was given to the rest of the sons of Manasseh for their families. The sons of Joseph’s son Manasseh, with their families, were Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.


book: Josh

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. The names of his daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.


book: Josh
contenido:
They came to Eleazar the religious leader, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, “The Lord told Moses to give us a share of land among our brothers.” So they gave them a share of land among their father’s brothers, as the Lord had said.


book: Josh
contenido:
Ten parts of the land were given to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan;


book: Josh
contenido:
because Manasseh’s daughters received a share of land among his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.


book: Josh
contenido:
The side of the land of Manasseh went from Asher to Michmethath, east of Shechem. Then it went south to the people of En-tappuah.


book: Josh

The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh. But the town of Tappuah on the side of Manasseh’s land belonged to the sons of Ephraim.


book: Josh

Then the side of the land went down to the river of Kanah. The cities south of the river, among the cities of Manasseh, belonged to Ephraim. Then Manasseh’s land went along the north side of the river and ended at the sea.


book: Josh

The south side belonged to Ephraim. The north side belonged to Manasseh. Their land spread from the sea to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the people of Dor and its towns, the people of En-dor and its towns, the people of Taanach and its towns, and the people of Megiddo and its towns. The third city is Napheth.


book: Josh
contenido:
But the sons of Manasseh could not take these cities for their own because the Canaanites would not leave that land.


book: Josh
contenido:
When the people of Israel became strong, they made the Canaanites work for them. But they did not drive all of them out.


book: Josh
contenido:
The sons of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one share of the land? We have many people. And the Lord has brought good to us until now.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said to them, “If you have many people, go up among the trees and clear a place for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
The sons of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. But all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron war-wagons. Both those in Beth-shean and its towns and those in the valley of Jezreel have them.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua said to the families of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, “You have many people and much power. You will not have only one share of land.


book: Josh
contenido:
The hill country will be yours. It is full of trees, but you will clear it. All of it will be yours. For you will drive out the Canaanites, even if they have iron war-wagons and much strength.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then all the people of Israel gathered together at Shiloh. They set up the tent of meeting there. The land around them had been taken in battle.


book: Josh
contenido:
There were still seven family groups among the people of Israel who had not received their share of land.


book: Josh
contenido:
So Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you wait before going in to take the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?


book: Josh
contenido:
Choose three men from each of these seven family groups. I will send them to go through the land and write down what they find it to be like, to be shared by each family. Then they will return to me.


book: Josh
contenido:
They will divide it into seven parts. Judah will stay in his land in the south. The house of Joseph will stay in their land in the north.


book: Josh
contenido:
You will write down how the land should be divided into seven parts, then bring it to me. I will draw names for you here before the Lord our God.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Levites have no share of land among you. Being the religious leaders for the Lord is their share. Gad and Reuben and the half-family group of Manasseh have received their land east of the Jordan. The Lord’s servant Moses gave it to them.”


book: Josh
contenido:
As the men got up to go, Joshua told them, “Go and walk through the land. Write down what you find, and return to me. Then I will draw names for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”


book: Josh

The men went and passed through the land. They wrote in a book the cities they found and divided them into seven parts. Then they returned to Joshua among the tents at Shiloh.

book: Josh
contenido:
The people of Israel heard the news, “See, the people of Reuben and Gad and the half-family group of Manasseh have built an altar in the land of Canaan by the Jordan. It stands on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.”

book: Josh
contenido:
“All the people of the Lord say, ‘What sin is this that you have done against the God of Israel? You have turned away from following the Lord this day, by building yourselves an altar. Today you have gone against the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
Is not the sin of Peor enough for us? We have made ourselves unclean from that to this day, and much trouble has come upon the people of the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now to add to that sin, this day you have turned away from following the Lord. If you go against the Lord today, He will be angry with all the people of Israel tomorrow.


book: Josh
contenido:
Now if the land you have been given is unclean, cross over into the Lord’s land. There stands the meeting tent of the Lord. Take land for yourselves among us. But do not go against the Lord, or against us, by building an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.


book: Josh

Did not Zerah’s son Achan sin by taking things that should have been destroyed? Anger came upon all the people of Israel. He did not die alone for his sin.’”

book: Josh
contenido:
“The Powerful One, the Lord, the Powerful One, God, the Lord! He knows! And may Israel itself know! If it was going against the Lord and not being faithful to Him, do not save us this day!


book: Josh
contenido:
If we have built an altar to turn away from following the Lord, or to give burnt gifts, grain gifts or peace gifts on it, may the Lord Himself punish us.


book: Josh
contenido:
We have done this because we were afraid that in time to come your children might say to our children, ‘What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord has put the Jordan between us and you people of Reuben and Gad. You have nothing to do with the Lord.’ Then your children might make our children stop worshiping the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
But it will be something special to be seen between us and you and our children after us. It will show that we are to serve the Lord before Him with our burnt gifts, our gifts of animals and our peace gifts. Then your children will not say to our children in the future, “You have nothing to do with the Lord.”’


book: Josh
contenido:
We thought that if they say this to us or our children in the future we can say, ‘See the altar we have made like the altar of the Lord which our fathers made. It is not for burnt gifts or killing animals in worship. But it is something special to see between us and you.’


book: Josh
contenido:
Never let it be said that we went against the Lord and turned away from following the Lord this day by building an altar. It is not for burnt gifts or grain gifts or killing animals in worship. It is not to be used instead of the altar of the Lord our God before His meeting tent.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Phinehas the religious leader and the leaders of the people, the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, were pleased when they heard the words of the people of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh.


book: Josh

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the religious leader said to the people of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is among us. Because you have not done this as sin against the Lord. Now you have saved the people of Israel from the hand of the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Phinehas the son of the religious leader Eleazar and the leaders left the people of Reuben and Gad. They returned from the land of Gilead to the people of Israel in the land of Canaan. And they told them what had happened.


book: Josh
contenido:
The news pleased the people of Israel, and they gave thanks to God. They said no more about going against them in war, to destroy the land where the people of Reuben and Gad were living.


book: Josh
contenido:
The people of Reuben and Gad said, “This altar shows the agreement between us that the Lord is God.”


book: Josh

book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua called all Israel, their leaders, their heads, and the men chosen among them who judge between what is right or wrong. Then he said to them, “I am old and have lived many years.


book: Josh

And you have seen all the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you. The Lord your God is the One Who has fought for you.


book: Josh
contenido:
See, I have given to you as land for your families those nations that are left, with all the nations I have destroyed. They lie from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Lord your God will send them out from in front of you. He will send them away from you. Then their land will be yours, just as the Lord your God promised you.


book: Josh
contenido:
So do not be moved by others. Keep and obey all that is written in the book of the Law of Moses. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left.


book: Josh
contenido:
Do not mix with these nations that stay among you. Do not say the names of their gods or make anyone swear by them. Do not work for them or worship them.


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord has driven away large and strong nations from in front of you. No man has been able to stand in front of you to this day.


book: Josh
contenido:
One of your men makes a thousand run away. For the Lord your God is the One Who fights for you, just as He promised you.


book: Josh
contenido:
For if you ever turn away and join the people of these nations left among you and marry some of their people and go among them,


book: Josh
contenido:
know for sure that the Lord your God will stop driving these nations away from you. And they will be a net and a trap to you. They will be a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you are destroyed from this good land the Lord your God has given you.


book: Josh
contenido:
“See, today I am going the way of all the earth. Know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God made to you has been broken. All have come true for you. Not one of them has been broken.


book: Josh
contenido:
Every good promise the Lord your God made to you has come true. But in the same way, He will keep His promises to punish you. He will punish you until He has destroyed you from this good land the Lord your God has given you.


book: Josh
contenido:
If you do not keep the agreement the Lord your God made with you, and serve other gods and worship them, then the anger of the Lord will burn against you and you will be destroyed from the good land He has given you.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua gathered all the families of Israel to Shechem. He called for the leaders of Israel, the heads of the families and those who judged between what is right or wrong. And they showed themselves before God.


book: Josh

Then I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River. I led him through all the land of Canaan. I gave him many children, and I gave him Isaac.


book: Josh

To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Mount Seir to Esau for his own. But Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.


book: Josh
contenido:
I sent Moses and Aaron. I had to bring trouble upon Egypt by what I did among them. Then I brought you out.


book: Josh
contenido:
I brought your fathers out of Egypt to the Sea. Egypt went after your fathers to the Red Sea with war-wagons and horsemen.


book: Josh
contenido:
But when they cried out to the Lord, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea upon them and covered them. Your own eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And you lived in the desert for a long time.


book: Josh
contenido:
I brought you into the land of the Amorites who lived on the east side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them to you. You took their land for your own when I destroyed them in front of you.

’Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, came and fought against Israel. He sent for Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

book: Josh

’You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho fought against you. And the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Hivite and the Jebusite fought against you. So I gave them into your hand.


book: Josh
contenido:
I sent the hornets ahead of you. They drove out the people and the two kings of the Amorites from in front of you. You did not do it by your sword or bow.


book: Josh
contenido:
I gave you a land you did not work for. You live in cities you did not build. You are eating from vines and olive trees you did not plant.’


book: Josh
contenido:
“So fear the Lord. Serve Him in faith and truth. Put away the gods your fathers served on the other side of the river and in Egypt. Serve the Lord.


book: Josh
contenido:
If you think it is wrong to serve the Lord, choose today whom you will serve. Choose the gods your fathers worshiped on the other side of the river, or choose the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”


book: Josh
contenido:
For the Lord our God is the One Who brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house where we were made to work. He did these powerful works in front of our eyes. He kept us safe everywhere we went, among all the nations we passed through.


book: Josh
contenido:
The Lord drove away from in front of us all the nations, even the Amorites who lived in the land. So we will serve the Lord. For He is our God.”


book: Josh
contenido:
Then Joshua said to the people, “You will not be able to serve the Lord. For He is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your wrong-doing or your sins.


book: Josh
contenido:
If you turn away from the Lord and serve strange gods, He will turn and punish you. He will destroy you after He has been good to you.”

Then Joshua said to the people, “You have spoken for yourselves that you have chosen to serve the Lord.” And they said, “We have spoken for ourselves.”


book: Josh

Joshua said, “So put away the strange gods that are among you. Give your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”

book: Josh
contenido:
Joshua said to all the people, “See, this stone will be here to speak against us. For it has heard all the words the Lord spoke to us. So it will be here to speak against you, if you do not stay true to your God.”
