Josh.17.1

This is the lot that fell to the people of Manasseh, Joseph's firstborn. (Gilead and Bashan had already been given to Makir, Manasseh's firstborn and father of Gilead, because he was an outstanding fighter.)

Josh.17.1

This was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph's firstborn, that is, for Makir, Manasseh's firstborn. Makir was the ancestor of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead and Bashan because the Makirites were great soldiers.

Josh.17.1

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph: namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given Gilead and Bashan.

Josh.17.1

The next allotment of land was given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph's older son. Gilead and Bashan on the east side of the Jordan had already been given to the family of Makir because he was a great warrior. (Makir was Manasseh's oldest son and was the father of Gilead.)

Josh.17.2

So the lot that follows went to the rest of the people of Manasseh and their clans, the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

Josh.17.2

So this allotment was for the rest of the people of Manasseh-the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

Josh.17.2

And there was a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, the children of Helek, the children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, the children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

Josh.17.2

Land on the west side of the Jordan was allotted to the remaining families within the tribe of Manasseh: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida.

Josh.17.3

Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Josh.17.3

Now Zelophehad son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons but only daughters, whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

Josh.17.3

But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Josh.17.3

However, Zelophehad son of Hepher, who was a descendant of Manasseh, Makir, and Gilead, had no sons. Instead, he had five daughters. Their names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Josh.17.4

They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, "GOD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our kinsmen." And Joshua did it; he gave them, as GOD commanded, an inheritance amid their father's brothers.

Josh.17.4

They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the LORD's command.

Josh.17.4

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." Therefore, according to the commandment of the LORD, he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

Josh.17.4

These women came to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite leaders and said, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with the men of our tribe." So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with their uncles, as the LORD had commanded.

Josh.17.5

Manasseh's lot came to ten portions, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan on the other side of the Jordan,

Josh.17.5

Manasseh's share consisted of ten tracts of land besides Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan,

Josh.17.5

Ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan,

Josh.17.5

As a result, Manasseh's inheritance came to ten parcels of land, in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan across the Jordan River,

Josh.17.6

because Manasseh's daughters got an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the people of Manasseh.

Josh.17.6

because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an inheritance among the sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh.

Josh.17.6

because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

Josh.17.6

because the female descendants of Manasseh received an inheritance along with the male descendants. (The land of Gilead was given to the rest of the male descendants of Manasseh.)

Josh.17.7

The boundary of Manasseh went from Asher all the way to Micmethath, just opposite Shechem, then ran southward to the people living at En Tappuah.

Josh.17.7

The territory of Manasseh extended from Asher to Micmethath east of Shechem. The boundary ran southward from there to include the people living at En Tappuah.

Josh.17.7

And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

Josh.17.7

The boundary of the tribe of Manasseh extended from the border of Asher to Micmethath, which is east of Shechem. Then the boundary went south from Micmethath to the people living near the spring of Tappuah.

Josh.17.8

(The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah itself on the border of Manasseh belonged to the Ephraimites.)

Josh.17.8

(Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah itself, on the boundary of Manasseh, belonged to the Ephraimites.)

Josh.17.8

Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

Josh.17.8

(The land surrounding Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but the town of Tappuah, on the border of Manasseh's territory, belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)

Josh.17.9

The boundary continued south to the Brook Kanah. (The cities there belonged to Ephraim although they lay among the cities of Manasseh.) The boundary of Manasseh ran north of the brook and ended at the Sea.

Josh.17.9

Then the boundary continued south to the Kanah Ravine. There were towns belonging to Ephraim lying among the towns of Manasseh, but the boundary of Manasseh was the northern side of the ravine and ended at the sea.

Josh.17.9

And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea.

Josh.17.9

From the spring of Tappuah, the border of Manasseh followed the northern side of the Kanah Ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. (Several towns in Manasseh's territory belonged to the tribe of Ephraim.)

Josh.17.10

The land to the south belonged to Ephraim; the land to the north to Manasseh, with the Sea as their western border; they meet Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

Josh.17.10

On the south the land belonged to Ephraim, on the north to Manasseh. The territory of Manasseh reached the sea and bordered Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

Josh.17.10

Southward it was Ephraim's, northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was its border. Manasseh's territory was adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

Josh.17.10

The land south of the ravine belonged to Ephraim, and the land north of the ravine belonged to Manasseh, with the Mediterranean Sea forming Manasseh's western border. North of Manasseh was the territory of Asher, and to the east was the territory of Issachar.

Josh.17.11

Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh also held Beth Shan, Ibleam, and the people of Dor, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, together with their villages, and the third in the list is Naphoth.

Josh.17.11

Within Issachar and Asher, Manasseh also had Beth Shan, Ibleam and the people of Dor, Endor, Taanach and Megiddo, together with their surrounding settlements (the third in the list is Naphoth ).

Josh.17.11

And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns--three hilly regions.

Josh.17.11

The following towns within the territory of Issachar and Asher were given to Manasseh: Beth-shan, Ibleam, Dor (that is, Naphoth-dor), Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo, with their respective villages.

Josh.17.12

The people of Manasseh never were able to take over these towns--the Canaanites wouldn't budge.

Josh.17.12

Yet the Manassites were not able to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region.

Josh.17.12

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

Josh.17.12

But the descendants of Manasseh were unable to occupy these towns. They could not drive out the Canaanites who continued to live there.

Josh.17.13

But later, when the Israelites got stronger, they put the Canaanites to forced labor. But they never did get rid of them. [JC]

Josh.17.13

However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.

Josh.17.13

And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

Josh.17.13

Later on, however, when the Israelites became strong enough, they forced the Canaanites to work as slaves. But they did not drive them out of the land.

Josh.17.14

The people of Joseph spoke to Joshua: "Why did you give us just one allotment, one solitary share? There are a lot of us, and growing--GOD has extravagantly blessed us."

Josh.17.14

The people of Joseph said to Joshua, "Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people and the LORD has blessed us abundantly."

Josh.17.14

Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?"

Josh.17.14

The descendants of Joseph came to Joshua and asked, "Why have you given us only one portion of land when the LORD has given us so many people?"

Josh.17.15

Joshua responded, "Since there are so many of you, and you find the hill country of Ephraim too confining, climb into the forest and clear ground there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim."

Josh.17.15

"If you are so numerous," Joshua answered, "and if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go up into the forest and clear land for yourselves there in the land of the Perizzites and Rephaites."

Josh.17.15

So Joshua answered them, "If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you."

Josh.17.15

Joshua replied, "If the hill country of Ephraim is not large enough for you, clear out land for yourselves in the forest where the Perizzites and Rephaites live."

Josh.17.16

But the people of Joseph said, "There's not enough hill country for us; and the Canaanites who live down in the plain, both those in Beth Shan and its villages and in the Valley of Jezreel, have iron chariots."

Josh.17.16

The people of Joseph replied, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the plain have iron chariots, both those in Beth Shan and its settlements and those in the Valley of Jezreel."

Josh.17.16

But the children of Joseph said, "The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are of the Valley of Jezreel."

Josh.17.16

They said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and the Canaanites in the lowlands around Beth-shan and the valley of Jezreel have iron chariots--they are too strong for us."

Josh.17.17

Joshua said to the family of Joseph (to Ephraim and Manasseh): "Yes, there are a lot of you, and you are very strong. One lot is not enough for you.

Josh.17.17

But Joshua said to the house of Joseph-to Ephraim and Manasseh-"You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment

Josh.17.17

And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph--to Ephraim and Manasseh--saying, "You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,

Josh.17.17

Then Joshua said to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, "Since you are so large and strong, you will be given more than one portion.

Josh.17.18

You also get the hill country. It's nothing but trees now, but you will clear the land and make it your own from one end to the other. The powerful Canaanites, even with their iron chariots, won't stand a chance against you."

Josh.17.18

but the forested hill country as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have iron chariots and though they are strong, you can drive them out."

Josh.17.18

but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong."

Josh.17.18

The forests of the hill country will be yours as well. Clear as much of the land as you wish and live there. And I am sure you can drive out the Canaanites from the valleys, too, even though they are strong and have iron chariots."

Josh.18.1

Then the entire congregation of the People of Israel got together at Shiloh. They put up the Tent of Meeting. The land was under their control

Josh.18.1

The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The country was brought under their control,

Josh.18.1

Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

Josh.18.1

Now that the land was under Israelite control, the entire Israelite assembly gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tabernacle.

Josh.18.2

but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had yet to receive their inheritance.

Josh.18.2

but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.

Josh.18.2

But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.

Josh.18.2

But there remained seven tribes who had not yet been allotted their inheritance.

Josh.18.3

Joshua addressed the People of Israel: "How long are you going to sit around on your hands, putting off taking possession of the land that GOD, the God of your ancestors, has given you?

Josh.18.3

So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

Josh.18.3

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?

Josh.18.3

Then Joshua asked them, "How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?

Josh.18.4

Pick three men from each tribe so I can commission them. They will survey and map the land, showing the inheritance due each tribe, and report back to me.

Josh.18.4

Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.

Josh.18.4

Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

Josh.18.4

Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the unconquered territory. They will return to me with a written report of their proposed divisions of the inheritance.

Josh.18.5

They will divide it into seven parts. Judah will stay in its territory in the south and the people of Joseph will keep to their place in the north.

Josh.18.5

You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the house of Joseph in its territory on the north.

Josh.18.5

And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.

Josh.18.5

The scouts will map the land into seven sections, excluding Judah's territory in the south and Joseph's territory in the north.

Josh.18.6

"You are responsible for preparing a survey map showing seven portions. Then bring it to me so that I can cast lots for you here in the presence of our GOD.

Josh.18.6

After you have written descriptions of the seven parts of the land, bring them here to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the LORD our God.

Josh.18.6

You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

Josh.18.6

Then I will cast sacred lots in the presence of the LORD our God to decide which section will be assigned to each tribe.

Josh.18.7

"Only the Levites get no portion among you because the priesthood of GOD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh already have their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan, given to them by Moses the servant of GOD."

Josh.18.7

The Levites, however, do not get a portion among you, because the priestly service of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan. Moses the servant of the LORD gave it to them."

Josh.18.7

But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

Josh.18.7

However, the Levites will not receive any land. Their role as priests of the LORD is their inheritance. And the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh won't receive any more land, for they have already received their inheritance, which Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave them on the east side of the Jordan River."

Josh.18.8

So the men set out. As they went out to survey the land, Joshua charged them: "Go. Survey the land and map it. Then come back to me and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of GOD."

Josh.18.8

As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, "Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD."

Josh.18.8

Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

Josh.18.8

As the men who were mapping out the land started on their way, Joshua commanded them, "Go and survey the land. Then return to me with your written report, and I will assign the land to the tribes by casting sacred lots in the presence of the LORD here at Shiloh."

Josh.18.9

So off the men went. They covered the ground and mapped the country by towns in a scroll. Then they reported back to Joshua at the camp at Shiloh.

Josh.18.9

So the men left and went through the land. They wrote its description on a scroll, town by town, in seven parts, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.

Josh.18.9

So the men went, passed through the land, and wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

Josh.18.9

The men did as they were told and mapped the entire territory into seven sections, listing the towns in each section. Then they returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.

Josh.18.10

Joshua cast the lots for them at Shiloh in the presence of GOD. That's where Joshua divided up the land to the People of Israel, according to their tribal divisions.

Josh.18.10

Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD, and there he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their tribal divisions.

Josh.18.10

Then Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

Josh.18.10

There at Shiloh, Joshua cast sacred lots in the presence of the LORD to determine which tribe should have each section.

Josh.18.11

The first lot turned up for the tribe of Benjamin with its clans. The border of the allotment went between the peoples of Judah and Joseph.

Josh.18.11

The lot came up for the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

Josh.18.11

Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

Josh.18.11

The first allotment of land went to the families of the tribe of Benjamin. It lay between the territory previously assigned to the tribes of Judah and Joseph.

Josh.18.12

The northern border began at the Jordan, then went up to the ridge north of Jericho, ascending west into the hill country into the wilderness of Beth Aven.

Josh.18.12

On the north side their boundary began at the Jordan, passed the northern slope of Jericho and headed west into the hill country, coming out at the desert of Beth Aven.

Josh.18.12

Their border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.

Josh.18.12

The northern boundary began at the Jordan River, went north of the slope of Jericho, then west through the hill country and the wilderness of Beth-aven.

Josh.18.13

From there the border went around to Luz, to its southern ridge (that is, Bethel), and then down from Ataroth Addar to the mountain to the south of Lower Beth Horon.

Josh.18.13

From there it crossed to the south slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth Addar on the hill south of Lower Beth Horon.

Josh.18.13

The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side of Lower Beth Horon.

Josh.18.13

From there the boundary went south to Luz (that is, Bethel) and proceeded down to Ataroth-addar to the top of the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.

Josh.18.14

There the border took a turn on the west side and swung south from the mountain to the south of Beth Horon and ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a town of the people of Judah. This was the west side.

Josh.18.14

From the hill facing Beth Horon on the south the boundary turned south along the western side and came out at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a town of the people of Judah. This was the western side.

Josh.18.14

Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

Josh.18.14

The boundary then ran south along the western edge of the hill facing Beth-horon, ending at the village of Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), one of the towns belonging to the tribe of Judah. This was the western boundary.

Josh.18.15

The southern border began at the edge of Kiriath Jearim on the west, then ran west until it reached the spring, the Waters of Nephtoah.

Josh.18.15

The southern side began at the outskirts of Kiriath Jearim on the west, and the boundary came out at the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

Josh.18.15

The south side began at the end of Kirjath Jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

Josh.18.15

The southern boundary began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim. From there it ran westward to the spring at the waters of Nephtoah,

Josh.18.16

It then descended to the foot of the mountain opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom (which flanks the Valley of Rephaim to the north), descended to the Hinnom Valley, just south of the Jebusite ridge, and went on to En Rogel.

Josh.18.16

The boundary went down to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim. It continued down the Hinnom Valley along the southern slope of the Jebusite city and so to En Rogel.

Josh.18.16

Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

Josh.18.16

and down to the base of the mountain beside the valley of the son of Hinnom, at the northern end of the valley of Rephaim. From there it went down the valley of Hinnom, crossing south of the slope where the Jebusites lived, and continued down to En-rogel.

Josh.18.17

From there it curved north to En Shemesh and Geliloth, opposite the Red Pass (Adummim), down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

Josh.18.17

It then curved north, went to En Shemesh, continued to Geliloth, which faces the Pass of Adummim, and ran down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

Josh.18.17

And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

Josh.18.17

From En-rogel the boundary proceeded northeast to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth (which is across from the slopes of Adummim). Then it went down to the stone of Bohan. (Bohan was Reuben's son.)

Josh.18.18

continued toward the north flank of Beth Arabah, then plunged to the Arabah.

Josh.18.18

It continued to the northern slope of Beth Arabah and on down into the Arabah.

Josh.18.18

Then it passed along toward the north side of Arabah, and went down to Arabah.

Josh.18.18

From there it passed along the north side of the slope overlooking the Jordan Valley. The border then went down into the valley,

Josh.18.19

It then followed the slope of Beth Hoglah north and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea--the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern border.

Josh.18.19

It then went to the northern slope of Beth Hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan in the south. This was the southern boundary.

Josh.18.19

And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

Josh.18.19

ran past the north slope of Beth-hoglah, and ended at the north bay of the Dead Sea, which is the southern end of the Jordan River.

Josh.18.20

The east border was formed by the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the people of Benjamin for their clans, marked by these borders on all sides.

Josh.18.20

The Jordan formed the boundary on the eastern side. These were the boundaries that marked out the inheritance of the clans of Benjamin on all sides.

Josh.18.20

The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

Josh.18.20

The eastern boundary was the Jordan River. This was the inheritance for the families of the tribe of Benjamin.

Josh.18.21

The cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, were: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

Josh.18.21

The tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had the following cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

Josh.18.21

Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

Josh.18.21

These were the towns given to the families of the tribe of Benjamin. Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,

Josh.18.22

Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

Josh.18.22

Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,

Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba--twelve towns with their villages.

Josh.18.24

Kephar Ammoni, Ophni and Geba-twelve towns and their villages.

Josh.18.24

Chephar Haammoni, Ophni, and Gaba: twelve cities with their villages;

Josh.18.24

Kephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba--twelve towns with their villages.

John.1.29

The very next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and yelled out,

John.1.29

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John.1.29

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

John.1.29

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look! There is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

John.1.30

"Here he is, God's Passover Lamb! He forgives the sins of the world! This is the man I've been talking about, "the One who comes after me but is really ahead of me.'

John.1.30

This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'

John.1.30

This is He of whom I said, "After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.'

John.1.30

He is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Soon a man is coming who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before I did.'

John.1.31

I knew nothing about who he was--only this: that my task has been to get Israel ready to recognize him as the God-Revealer. That is why I came here baptizing with water, giving you a good bath and scrubbing sins from your life so you can get a fresh start with God."

John.1.31

I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

John.1.31

I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water."

John.1.31

I didn't know he was the one, but I have been baptizing with water in order to point him out to Israel."

John.1.32

John clinched his witness with this: "I watched the Spirit, like a dove flying down out of the sky, making himself at home in him.

John.1.32

Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.

John.1.32

And John bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

John.1.32

Then John said, "I saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and resting upon him.

John.1.33

I repeat, I know nothing about him except this: The One who authorized me to baptize with water told me, "The One on whom you see the Spirit come down and stay, this One will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

John.1.33

I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

John.1.33

I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

John.1.33

I didn't know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, 'When you see the Holy Spirit descending and resting upon someone, he is the one you are looking for. He is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

John.1.34

That's exactly what I saw happen, and I'm telling you, there's no question about it: This is the Son of God."

John.1.34

I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."

John.1.34

And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God."

John.1.34

I saw this happen to Jesus, so I testify that he is the Son of God. "

John.1.35

The next day John was back at his post with two disciples, who were watching.

John.1.35

The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

John.1.35

Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.

John.1.35

The following day, John was again standing with two of his disciples.

John.1.36

He looked up, saw Jesus walking nearby, and said, "Here he is, God's Passover Lamb."

John.1.36

When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

John.1.36

And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

John.1.36

As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and then declared, "Look! There is the Lamb of God!"

John.1.37

The two disciples heard him and went after Jesus.

John.1.37

When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.

John.1.37

The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

John.1.37

Then John's two disciples turned and followed Jesus.

John.1.38

Jesus looked over his shoulder and said to them, "What are you after?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"

John.1.38

Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?" They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

John.1.38

Then Jesus turned, and seeing them following, said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, when translated, Teacher), "where are You staying?"

John.1.38

Jesus looked around and saw them following. "What do you want?" he asked them. They replied, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

John.1.39

He replied, "Come along and see for yourself." They came, saw where he was living, and ended up staying with him for the day. It was late afternoon when this happened.

John.1.39

"Come," he replied, "and you will see." So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour.

John.1.39

He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

John.1.39

"Come and see," he said. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when they went with him to the place, and they stayed there the rest of the day.

John.1.40

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard John's witness and followed Jesus.

John.1.40

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus.

John.1.40

One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

John.1.40

Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of these men who had heard what John said and then followed Jesus.

John.1.41

The first thing he did after finding where Jesus lived was find his own brother, Simon, telling him, "We've found the Messiah" (that is, "Christ").

John.1.41

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).

John.1.41

He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, the Christ).

John.1.41

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother, Simon, and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means the Christ).

John.1.42

He immediately led him to Jesus. Jesus took one look up and said, "You're John's son, Simon? From now on your name is Cephas" (or Peter, which means "Rock").

John.1.42

And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter ).

John.1.42

And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

John.1.42

Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus. Looking intently at Simon, Jesus said, "You are Simon, the son of John--but you will be called Cephas" (which means Peter ).

John.1.43

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. When he got there, he ran across Philip and said, "Come, follow me."

John.1.43

The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."

John.1.43

The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, "Follow Me."

John.1.43

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Come, be my disciple."

John.1.44

(Philip's hometown was Bethsaida, the same as Andrew and Peter.)

John.1.44

Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.

John.1.44

Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

John.1.44

Philip was from Bethsaida, Andrew and Peter's hometown.

John.1.45

Philip went and found Nathanael and told him, "We've found the One Moses wrote of in the Law, the One preached by the prophets. It's Jesus, Joseph's son, the one from Nazareth!"

John.1.45

Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

John.1.45

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

John.1.45

Philip went off to look for Nathanael and told him, "We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth."

John.1.46

Nathanael said, "Nazareth? You've got to be kidding." But Philip said, "Come, see for yourself."

John.1.46

"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked. "Come and see," said Philip.

John.1.46

And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

John.1.46

"Nazareth!" exclaimed Nathanael. "Can anything good come from there?Just come and see for yourself," Philip said.

John.1.47

When Jesus saw him coming he said, "There's a real Israelite, not a false bone in his body."

John.1.47

When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."

John.1.47

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"

John.1.47

As they approached, Jesus said, "Here comes an honest man--a true son of Israel."

John.1.48

Nathanael said, "Where did you get that idea? You don't know me." Jesus answered, "One day, long before Philip called you here, I saw you under the fig tree."

John.1.48

"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."

John.1.48

Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

John.1.48

"How do you know about me?" Nathanael asked. And Jesus replied, "I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you."

John.1.49

Nathanael exclaimed, "Rabbi! You are the Son of God, the King of Israel!"

John.1.49

Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."

John.1.49

Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

John.1.49

Nathanael replied, "Teacher, you are the Son of God--the King of Israel!"

John.1.50

Jesus said, "You've become a believer simply because I say I saw you one day sitting under the fig tree? You haven't seen anything yet!

John.1.50

Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that."

John.1.50

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you, "I saw you under the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

John.1.50

Jesus asked him, "Do you believe all this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this."

John.1.51

Before this is over you're going to see heaven open and God's angels descending to the Son of Man and ascending again."

John.1.51

He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

John.1.51

And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

John.1.51

Then he said, "The truth is, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down upon the Son of Man."
