I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 17

 1There was also a lot for the tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh); for he was the firstborn of I AM Will Add (Joseph); that is, for Sold (Machir) the firstborn of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), the father of Rocky Region (Gilead): because he was a man of war, therefore he had Rocky Region (Gilead) and Fruitful (Bashan).

2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) by their families; for the children of My Father is Help (Abiezer), for the children of Portion (Helek), for the children of I Shall Be Prince of God (Asriel), for the children of Shoulder (Shechem), for the children of A Well (Hepher), and for the children of Wise (Shemida): these were the male children of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) the son of I AM Will Add (Joseph) by their families.

3 But First-born (Zelophehad), the son of A Well (Hepher), the son of Rocky Region (Gilead), the son of Sold (Machir), the son of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Disease (Mahlah), Rest (Noah), Partridge (Hoglah), Queen (Milcah), and Favorable (Tirzah).

4 They came before God Has Helped (Eleazar) the priest, and before I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun), and before the princes, saying, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses) to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore, according to the commandment of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

5 There were ten portions to Causing to Forget (Manasseh), beside the land of Rocky Region (Gilead) and Fruitful (Bashan), which were on the other side of The Descender (Jordan);

6 Because the daughters of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Causing to Forget's (Manasseh) sons had the land of Rocky Region (Gilead).

7 The border of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) was from Happy (Asher) to Hiding Place (Michmethah), which lies before Shoulder (Shechem); and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Fountain of the Apple City (Entappuah).

8 Now Causing to Forget (Manasseh) had the land of The Apple City (Tappuah): but The Apple City (Tappuah) on the border of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) belonged to the children of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim);

9 The border descended to the river Reed (Kanah), southward of the river: these cities of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) are among the cities of Causing to Forget (Manasseh): the coast of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

10 Southward it was Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful's (Ephraim), and northward it was Causing to Forget's (Manasseh), and the sea is his border. They met together in Happy (Asher) on the north, and in Recompense (Issachar) on the east.

11 Causing to Forget (Manasseh) had in Recompense (Issachar) and in Happy (Asher) House of Ease (Bethshean) and her towns, Devouring People (Ibleam) and her towns, the inhabitants of Generation (Dor) and her towns, the inhabitants of Fountain of Generation (Endor) and her towns, the inhabitants of Sandy (Taanach) and her towns, and the inhabitants of Place of Crowds (Megiddo) and her towns, three countries.

12 Yet the children of Causing to Forget (Manasseh) could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) would dwell in that land.

13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of God Prevails (Israel) grew strong, that they put the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

14 The children of I AM Will Add (Joseph) spoke to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), saying: Why have you given us but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing we are a great people, forasmuch as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has blessed us so far?

15 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) answered them: If you are a great people, then go up to the wood country, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Those Belonging to a Village (Perizzites) and of the giants, if mount Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) is too small for you.

16 But the children of I AM Will Add (Joseph) said: The hill is not enough for us: and all the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of House of Ease (Bethshean) and her towns and they who are of the valley of God Sows (Jezreel).

17 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) answered the house of I AM Will Add (Joseph), Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) and Causing to Forget (Manasseh), saying: You are a great people, and have great power: you shall not have one lot only:

18 But the mountain shall be yours; for it is a wood, and you shall cut it down: the outgoings of it shall be yours: for you shalt drive out the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), even though they have iron chariots, and though they are strong.

I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 16

 1 The lot of the children of I AM Will Add (Joseph) fell from The Descender (Jordan) by Its Moon (Jericho), to the water of Its Moon (Jericho) on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Its Moon (Jericho) throughout Mount House of God (Bethel),

2 From there it goes out from The House of God (Bethel) to Almond Tree (Luz), and passes along to the borders of Lengthy (Archi) to Crowns (Ataroth),

3 Then it goes down westward to the coast of Let Him Escape (Japhleti), to the coast of House of Hollowness (Bethhoron) the nether, and to Portion (Gezer); and from there to the sea.

4 So the children of I AM Will Add (Joseph), Causing to Forget (Manasseh), and Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), took their inheritance.

5 The border of the children of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) according to their families was this: the border of their inheritance on the east side was Crowns of Glory (Atarothaddar), to House of Hollowness (Bethhoron) the upper;

6 The border went out toward the sea to Hiding Place (Michmethah) on the north side, from there the border went eastward to Approach to Tranquility (Taanathshiloh), and passed by it on the east to He Rests (Janohah);

7 Then it went down from He Rests (Janohah) to Crowns (Ataroth), and to Maiden (Naarath), and came to Its Moon (Jericho), and ended at The Descender (Jordan).

8 The border went out from The Apple City (Tappuah) westward to the river Reed (Kanah), and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) by their families.

9 The separate cities for the children of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim) were among the inheritance of the children of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), all the cities with their villages.

10 But they did not drive out the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) that dwelt in Portion (Gezer): but the Humbled Ones (Canaanites) dwell among the Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraimites) to this day, and serve under tribute.

I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 15

 1 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Praised (Judah) by their families; from the border of Red (Edom) the wilderness of Flat (Zin) southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.

2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looks southward:

3 And it went out to the south side to Ascent of Scorpions (Maalehacrabbim), and passed along to Flat (Zin), and ascended up on the south side to Holy (Kadeshbarnea), and passed along to Surrounded By a Wall (Hezron), and went up to Exceeding Glorious (Adar), and then up to Floor (Karkaa):

4 From there it passed toward Strong (Azmon) and went out to the river of Double Straights (Egypt), and along the sea: this shall be your southern border.

5 The east border was the salt sea to the end of The Descender (Jordan). And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of The Descender (Jordan):

6 And the border went up to House of the Partridge (Bethhogla), and passed along by the north of House of the Desert Valley (Betharabah; then the border went up to the stone of Thumb (Bohan) the son of Behold a Son (Reuben):

7 From there the border went up toward Sanctuary (Debir) from the valley of Trouble (Achor), and so northward, looking toward Rolling Wheel (Gilgal), that is before going up to Red Spots (Adummim), which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Fountain of the Sun (Enshemesh), and the goings out thereof were at Fountain of the Fuller (Enrogel):

8 Then the border went up by the valley of the son of Lamentation (Hinnom) to the south side of the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusite); the same is Rain of Peace (Jerusalem): and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Lamentation (Hinnom) westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

9 The border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Opening (Nephtoah), and went out to the cities of Mount Fawn-Like (Ephron); and the border was drawn to Mistress (Baalah), which is City of Forests (Kirjathjearim):

12 The west border was the Great Sea and the coast thereof. This is the territory of the children of Praised (Judah) round about according to their families.

13 To Dog (Caleb) the son of He Will Face (Jephunneh) he gave a part among the children of Praised (Judah), according to the commandment of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) to I AM is Salvation (Joshua): the city of Four (Arba) the father of Neck (Anak), which city is Association (Hebron).

14 Dog (Caleb) drove out from there the three sons of Neck (Anak), Noble (Sheshai), and My Brother is a Gift (Ahiman), and Furrowed (Talmai), the children of Neck (Anak).

15 Then he went up there to the inhabitants of Sanctuary (Debir): and the name of Sanctuary (Debir) before was City of the Book (Kirjathsepher).

16 And Dog (Caleb) said: He that smites City of the Book (Kirjathsepher), and taketh it, to him will I give Anklet (Achsah) my daughter to wife.

17 So Lion of God (Othniel) the son of Hunter (Kenaz), the brother of Dog (Caleb), took it: and he gave him Anklet (Achsah) his daughter to wife.

18 It came to pass, as she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Dog (Caleb) said to her: What would you like?

19 She answered: Give me a blessing; for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. So, he gave her the upper springs and the Abundant (Ether) springs.
