Joshua 16-18; Proverbs 26
Joshua 16
1)And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel.
2)And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
3)And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
4)So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5)And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
6)And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7)And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
8)The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9)And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10)And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
Joshua 18
1)And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2)And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3)And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4)Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
5)And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6)Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7)But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
8)And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9)And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10)And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11)And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12)And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
13)And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
14)And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
15)And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16)And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
17)And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18)And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19)And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
20)And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21)Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz.
22)And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23)And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24)And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25)Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26)And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27)And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28)And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Proverbs 26
1)As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
2)As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3)A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4)Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5)Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6)He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7)The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8)As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
9)As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10)The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11)As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12)Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13)The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14)As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15)The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16)The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17)He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18)As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19)So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20)Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21)As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22)The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23)Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24)He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25)When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26)Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27)Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28)A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
