Jos
21:41 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession
of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their suburbs.
Jos
21:42 Each of these cities included their suburbs around them. It
was this way with all these cities.
Jos
21:43 So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give
to their fathers. They possessed it, and lived in it.
Jos
21:44 Yahweh gave them rest all around, according to all that he
swore to their fathers. Not a man of all their enemies stood before
them. Yahweh delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Jos
21:45 Nothing failed of any good thing which Yahweh had spoken to
the house of Israel. All came to pass.
Jos
22:1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the
half-tribe of Manasseh,
Jos
22:2 and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the
servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all
that I commanded you.
Jos
22:3 You have not left your brothers these many days to this day,
but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
Jos
22:4 Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he
spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land
of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond
the Jordan.
Jos
22:5 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which
Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God,
to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to
him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
Jos
22:6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to
their tents.
Jos
22:7 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given
inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their
brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them
away to their tents, he blessed them,
Jos
22:8 and spoke to them, saying, "Return with much wealth to
your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with
brass, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of
your enemies with your brothers."
Jos
22:9 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of
Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the
land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned,
according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
Jos
22:10 When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the
land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and
the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a
great altar to look at.
Jos
22:11 The children of Israel heard this, "Behold, the children
of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have
built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region
about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of
Israel."
Jos
22:12 When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole
congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together
at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
Jos
22:13 The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to
the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land
of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Jos
22:14 and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for
each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of
their fathers' houses among the thousands of Israel.
Jos
22:15 They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of
Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and
they spoke with them, saying,
Jos
22:16 "Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, 'What
trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel,
to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built
you an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?
Jos
22:17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have
not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on
the congregation of Yahweh,
Jos
22:18 that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? It
will be, seeing that you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he
will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
Jos
22:19 However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass
over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh's
tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don't rebel
against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than
the altar of Yahweh our God.
Jos
22:20 Didn't Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted
thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man
didn't perish alone in his iniquity.' "
Jos
22:21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the
thousands of Israel,
Jos
22:22 "The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God,
Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or
if in trespass against Yahweh (don't save us this day),
Jos
22:23 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following
Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to
offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh himself require it.
Jos
22:24 If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason,
saying, 'In time to come your children might speak to our children,
saying, "What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?
Jos
22:25 For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you,
you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in
Yahweh." ' So your children might make our children cease from
fearing Yahweh.
Jos
22:26 Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an
altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
Jos
22:27 but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our
generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh
before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with
our peace offerings;' that your children may not tell our children in
time to come, 'You have no portion in Yahweh.'
Jos
22:28 Therefore we said, 'It shall be, when they tell us or our
generations this in time to come, that we shall say, "Behold the
pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt
offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you."
'
Jos
22:29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and
turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt
offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of
Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle!"
Jos
22:30 When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation,
even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard
the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
Jos
22:31 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of
Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh,
"Today we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you
have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have
delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh."
Jos
22:32 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes,
returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad,
out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of
Israel, and brought them word again.
Jos
22:33 The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of
Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to
war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the
children of Gad lived.
Jos
22:34 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar
"A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God."

that you have built you
an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?
Thus
saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which
ye have committed
against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following
Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against
Jehovah?

you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? and it will be,
seeing you rebel today against
Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of
Israel.

since ye rebel this day
against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly
of Israel.

However,
if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass you over to the
land of the possession
of Yahweh, in which Yahweh`s tent dwells, and take possession among
us: but don`t rebel
against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar
besides the altar of Yahweh our
God.
Notwithstanding,
if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land
of the possession
of Jehovah, where Jehovah`s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession
amongst us;
but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building
for yourselves an altar
besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
`And
surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for you
unto the land
of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah hath tabernacled,
and have possession in our midst; and against Jehovah rebel not, and against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar, besides the
altar of Jehovah
our God.

we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if
to offer thereon burnt offering
or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings
thereon, let Yahweh himself require
it;

and
if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of
purpose, saying, In time to come your
children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do
with Yahweh, the God of Israel?

your children will speak
to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of

your sons do
speak to ours sons, saying, What to you and to Jehovah God of

make our children

to come, You have no portion

Therefore
said we, It shall be, when they so tell us or to our generations in
time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our
fathers made, not for burnt offering,
nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.
And
we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our
generations, we will say,

[is] between us and you.

sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tent.

John 3
Joh 3:1 Now there was a
man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
Joh 3:2 The same came
to him by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a
teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do,
unless God is with him."
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered
him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he
can't see the Kingdom of God."
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus said
to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a
second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered,
"Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and
spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!
Joh 3:6 That which is
born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is
spirit.
Joh 3:7 Don't marvel
that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
Joh 3:8 The wind blows
where it wants to, and you hear its sound, but don't know where it
comes from and where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the
Spirit."
Joh 3:9 Nicodemus
answered him, "How can these things be?"
Joh 3:10 Jesus answered
him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and don't understand these
things?
Joh 3:11 Most certainly
I tell you, we speak that which we know, and testify of that which we
have seen, and you don't receive our witness.
Joh 3:12 If I told you
earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell
you heavenly things?
Joh 3:13 No one has
ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of
Man, who is in heaven.
Joh 3:14 As Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man
be lifted up,
Joh 3:15 that whoever
believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so
loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God didn't
send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world
should be saved through him.
Joh 3:18 He who
believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged
already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only
Son of God.
Joh 3:19 This is the
judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the
darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
Joh 3:20 For everyone
who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest
his works would be exposed.
Joh 3:21 But he who

Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the same baptizes, and
everyone is coming to him."
Joh 3:27 John answered,
"A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given him from

testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ,' but, 'I have been sent
before him.'

bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands
and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.
This, my joy, therefore is made full.
Joh 3:30 He must
increase, but I must decrease.
Joh 3:31 He who comes
from above is above all. He who is from the Earth belongs to the
Earth, and speaks of the Earth. He who comes from heaven is above
all.
Joh 3:32 What he has
seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receives his
witness.
Joh 3:33 He who has
received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true.
Joh 3:34 For he whom
God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit
without measure.
Joh 3:35 The Father
loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
Joh 3:36 One who
believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son
won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
