प्रस्थान 12
1 जब तिनीहरू मिश्रमा थिए, परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नु भयो।
2 “यो महिना नै तिमीहरूको निम्ति वर्षको पहिलो महिना हुनेछ।
3 यो आदेश इस्राएलका सारा समुदायका निम्ति हो। यो महिनाको दशौं दिनमा आफ्नो घरका मानिसहरूको निम्ति प्रत्येक मानिसले एउटा थुमा ल्याउनु पर्छ।
4 एउटा पाठो खाई सक्नलाई यदि कुनै मानिसको घरमा प्रशस्त मानिसहरू नभए उसले त्यस दिनको भोजमा भाग लिनको निम्ति छिमेकीलाई निम्त्याउनु पर्छ। प्रत्येक मानिसलाई पुग्ने पाठो हुनुपर्छ।
5 पाठो एक वर्षको र खोट रहित हुनुपर्छ। पाठो भेडा अथवा बाख्राको जुन भए पनि हुन्छ।
6 तिनीहरूले त्यो पाठोलाई महिनाको चौधौं दिनसम्म सावधानीसंग राख्नु पर्छ। त्यस दिन इस्राएली समुदायका मानिसहरूले साँझमा ती पाठाहरू मार्नु पर्छ।
7 यी पशुहरूको रगत सबै मानिसले जम्मा गर्नुपर्छ। अनि ढोकाका चौखटाहरूमा र घरका जहाँ पाठाहरू खाइन्छन ढोकाहरूमाथि छर्नु पर्छ।
8 “त्यो राती पाठो आगोमा पोलेर खानु पर्छ। तिमीहरूले तितो जडी-बुट्टी र खमीर बिनाको रोटी खानुपर्छ।
9 पाठो काँचो अथवा पानीमा उमालेर खानु हुँदैन। त्यो पाठो सबै आगोमाथि सेकाउनु पर्छ, त्यसको भित्र, टाउको र खुट्टाहरू शरीरबाट नछुट्टाई आगोमाथि सेकाउनु पर्छ।
10 बिहानसम्म मासुहरू बाँकि नराख। यदि केही मासुहरू रह्यो भने, त्यसलाई आगोमा जलाउनु पर्छ।
11 “जब तिमीहरू भोजन खान्छौ कतै बाहिर यात्रामा जाँदा जस्तै लुगा लाउनुपर्छ। तिमीहरूका खुट्टामा जुत्ता र हातमा टेक्ने लाठी हुनै पर्छ र हतार-हतार खानु पर्छ। किन? किनभने यो परमप्रभुको निस्तार हो।
12 “आज राती म मिश्रभित्र पस्नेछु अनि पहिले जन्मेका मानिसहरू र पशुहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नेछु। यस प्रकारले म मिश्रका सबै देवताहरूको न्याय गर्नेछु, म परमप्रभु हुँ।
13 तर तिमीहरूका घरमा लगाएका रगत चाँहि एउटा विशेष चिन्ह हुनेछ र म जुन घरमा रगत लगाएको देख्छु त्यसलाई छोडेर जान्छु। म मिश्र देशका मानिसहरूको निम्ति हानिकारक रोग उत्पन्न गर्छु। तर त्यो खराब बिमारले तिमीहरू कसैलाई पनि असर गर्दैन।
14 “यसकारण यो एउटा स्मरणीय दिन हुनेछ। अनि तिमीहरूको निम्ति यो एक विशेष पवित्र चाड हुनेछ। तिमीहरूका संन्तानहरूले सदा सर्वदा यो पवित्र चाडलाई परमप्रभुलाई भक्ति गर्ने दिनको रूपमा मान्नु पर्छ।
15 यस चाडमा तिमीहरूले अखमिरी रोटी सात दिनसम्म खाने छौ। यस पवित्र चाडको पहिलो दिन तिमीहरूले आफ्नो-आफ्नो घरबाट समस्त खमीर बाहिर निकाल्ने छौ। यो पवित्र चाडमा सात दिनसम्म कसैले पनि खमीर खाने छैनौ। यदि कसैले खमीर त्यस समयमा खायो भने त्यसलाई अरू इस्राएलीबाट बहिष्कृत गरिनेछ।
16 यो पवित्र चाडको पहिलो र अन्तिम दिनमा पवित्र सभा हुनेछ। यी दिनमा तिमीहरूले केही पनि काम गर्नु हुँदैन। यी दिनमा तिमीहरूको निम्ति एउटै काम भोजन तयार गर्नु हुन्छ।
17 तिमीहरूले यो अखमिरी रोटीको पवित्र चाडलाई सम्झना गर्नु पर्छ, कारण यही दिन मैले तिमीहरूलाई मिश्रबाट दल बनाएर बाहिर ल्याए। तिम्रा सन्तानहरू सबैमा सदा-सर्वदा यो एउटा नियम होस्।
18 यसर्थ पहिलो महिनाको चौधौं दिनको साँझ देखि तिमीहरूले खमीर बिनाको रोटी खान शुरू गर्ने छौ। तिमीहरूले खमीर बिनाको रोटी पहिलो महिनाको एक्काईसौं दिनको साँझसम्म खानेछौ।
19 सात दिनसम्म तिमीहरूका घरमा कुनै खमीर रहनु हुँदैन। कुनै पनि मानिस चाहे त्यो इस्राएली होस अथवा विदेशी यदि तिनीहरूले यस समयमा खमीर खायो भने उसलाई इस्राएलीको समुदायबाटै अलग्ग गराउनु पर्छ।
20 यी पवित्र दिनहरूमा तिनीहरू जता सुकै भए पनि खमीर भएको केही पनि खानुँ हुदैन। तिमीहरूले त्यहि खमीर बिनाको रोटी खानु पर्छ।”
21 यसर्थ मोशाले सबै बूढा-प्रधानहरूलाई बोलाए। मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरूका परिवारका निम्ति थुमाहरू ल्याऊ। र निस्तारको निम्ति थुमाहरू मार।
22 हिसपको झुप्पा लेऊ अनि रगतले भरिएको भाँडामा डुबाऊ अनि ढोकाको चौकटकोमाथि तथा वरिपरि लगाऊ। बिहान नहुञ्जेल कसैले पनि घर छाडनु हुँदैन।
23 जब परमप्रभु मिश्रमा पहिला जन्मेको छोराहरूलाई मार्न जानुहुनेछ अनि ढोकाका फल्याक अनि खाम्बाहरूमाथि रगत पोतेको देख्नु हुनेछ। तब परमप्रभुले त्यस घरलाई रक्षा गर्नु हुँनेछ। उहाँ ती ढोकाद्वारबाट जाँदा परमप्रभुले विनाशक शक्ति ती घरहरूमा पसेर नाशगर्नबाट रोक्नुहुनेछ।
24 तिमीहरूले यो आदेश याद राख्नुपर्छ। यो नियम सदा-सर्वदा तिम्रा सन्तानहरूको निम्ति हुनेछ।
25 तिमीहरू जब परमप्रभुले दिनु भएको भूमिमा जानेछौ तिमीहरूले यो चाड पालन गर्नुपर्छ।
26 जब तिमीहरूका नानीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई सोध्नेछन्, ‘किन हामी यो चाड मनाउछौं?’
27 तब तिमीहरूले जवाफ दिनेछौ, ‘यो निस्तार चाड परमप्रभुको सम्मानमा मानिएको हो। नानीहरूलाई तिमीहरू भन्नेछौ, जब हामीहरू मिश्रमा थियौं, परमप्रभुले इस्राएलीको घरहरू छोडेर जानु भयो। उहाँले मिश्री मानिसहरूलाई मार्नु भयो अनि हाम्रो रक्षा गर्नुभयो। यसकारण अहिले मानिसहरू उहाँलाई निहुरिएर दण्डवत गर्छन् र आराधना गर्छन्।”‘
28 परमप्रभुले यो आदेश मोशा र हारूनलाई दिनु भएको थियो, यसर्थ इस्राएलीहरूले त्यही गरे जे परमप्रभुले आदेश दिनु भएको थियो।
29 मध्यरातमा मिश्र देशीहरूका पहिले जन्मेका सबै छोराहरू, मिश्रका शासक फिरऊनको पहिलो छोरो देखि झ्यालखानामा सजाय भोग्दै गरेको कैदीको छोरोसम्मलाई मार्नुभयो। पशुहरूमा पनि पहिले जन्मेका सबै मार्नु भयो।
30 त्यस रात मिश्रमा प्रत्येक घरको कोही न कोही मरे। फिरऊन, उसका अधिकारीहरू अनि मिश्रका सबै मानिसहरू चिच्याँउदै रोए।
31 तब त्यस राती फिरऊनले मोशा र हारूनलाई बोलाए। फिरऊनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “तयार होऊ अनि हाम्रा मानिसहरूलाई छोडेर जाऊ। तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरूले त्यसै गर्न सक्छौ जो तिमी भन्छौ तिमीहरू जाऊ अनि आफ्नो परमप्रभुको आराधना गर।
32 तिमीहरूले भने झैं आफ्नो-आफ्नो भेडा तथा गाई-वस्तुहरू लिएरै जाऊ। तिमीहरूले मलाई पनि आशीर्वाद देऊ।”
33 मिश्र देश वासीहरूले पनि भने, “तिमीहरू चाँडै गइहाल। किन? किनभने, यदि तिमीहरू गएनौ भने हामीहरू सबै मर्न सक्छौ।”
34 इस्राएली मानिसहरू यति हतारमा थिए तिनीहरूले रोटीमा खमीर मिसाउने समय पाएनन्। यसकारण तिनीहरूले आटा, भाडाहरूमा आफ्नो काँधमाथि बोकेर ल्याए।
35 तब इस्राएलीका मानिसहरूले त्यही गरे जे मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई गर्नु भनेका थिए। तिनीहरूले मिश्र देशका आफ्नो छिमेकीहरूसित लुगा, अनि सुन चाँदीले बनिएको चीजहरू माँगे।
36 परमप्रभुले मिश्रका मानिसहरूलाई दयालु बनाई दिनु भयो अनि तिनीहरूले जे मांगे त्यही दिए।
37 इस्राएली मानिसहरूले रामसेसबाट, सुक्कोतसम्म यात्रा गरे। तिनीहरू लगभग 6,00,000 थिए। यस संख्यामा नानीहरूको गन्ति गरिएको थिएन।
38 तिनीहरूसित धेरै भेडा, बाख्रा गाई-वस्तु र अरू चीजहरू थिए। तिनीहरूसित अन्य धेरै थरिका मानिसहरू यात्रा गरिरहेका थिए।
39 ती मानिसहरूसंग रोटीमा खमीर मिसाउने समय पनि थिएन अनि तिनीहरूले यात्राको निम्ति कुनै विशेष भोजन तयार पारेका थिएनन्। यसकारण तिनीहरूका साधरण खमीर बिनाको रोटी बाहेक अरू कुनै खाने कुरा थिएन।
40 इस्राएली मानिसहरू 430 वर्षसम्म मिश्रमा बसे।
41 ठीक 430 वर्षपछि परमप्रभुका समस्त सेनाहरू मिश्रबाट गए।
42 यसर्थ त्यो विशेष छ। जब परमप्रभुले गरेको मानिसहरूले सम्झने छन्। त्यो रात सबै इस्राएली मानिसहरूको हृदयमा सदा-सर्वदा रहनेछ।
43 परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई भन्नुभयो, “यहाँ निस्तारका निम्ति विधिहरू छन् कुनै पनि विदेशीले निस्तार चाडको भोजन खान पाउनेछैन।
44 तर यदि कुनै मानिसले कमारो किन्छ र त्यसको खतना गराइदिन्छ भने, त्यो कमरोले निस्तारको भोजन खान सक्छ।
45 तर तिमीहरूको माझमा बस्ने कुनै पनि ज्यालाका मजदूर अथवा विदेशीहरूले निस्तारको भोजन खानु हुँदैन।
46 “प्रत्येक परिवारले एउटा घर भित्र नै भोजन गर्नुपर्छ, कुनै पनि भोजन बाहिर लानु हुँदैन। थुमाको कुनै हड्डी भाँच्नु हुँदैन।
47 इस्राएलका सारा समुदायले यो चाड मनाउनु पर्छ।
48 यदि कोही मानिस तिमीहरूसित बसो-बासो गर्छ तर त्यो इस्राएली होइन र यो परमप्रभुको निस्तार चाडमा भाग लिन चाहन्छ भने उसको खतना गरिनु नै पर्छ। त्यसपछि त्यो इस्राएली नागरिक बराबर हुन्छ र उसले निस्तार भोजनमा भाग लिन सक्छ। तर यदि उसको खतना गरिएको छैन भने निस्तार भोजनमा भाग लिन सक्तैन।
49 खतना नभएको कुनै पनि मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुको भोजनमा भाग लिनु हुँदैन। यो प्रत्येक मानिसहरूको लागि यो सत्य र निष्पक्ष नियम हो त्यो देशी अथवा विदेशमा जन्मेका नागरिक होस् यो नियम प्रत्येकलाई हुनुपर्छ।”
50 यसर्थ इस्राएलका सारा मानिसहरूले परमप्रभुले मोशा र हारूनलाई दिनु भएका आदेशहरू पालन गरे।
51 यस प्रकारले परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूलाई मिश्र देशबाट बाहिर लिएर जानु भयो। मानिसहरू झुन्ड-झुन्डमा यात्रा गरे।
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord’s passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
2 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs.
4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
5 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
6 And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
7 The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name,
10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs; four cities.
23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,
24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
26 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her suburbs; two cities.
28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,
29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, En-gannim with her suburbs; four cities.
30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,
31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammoth-dor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.
36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,
37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,
39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
