I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 20

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) also spoke to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), saying:

2 Speak to the children of God Prevails (Israel), saying: Appoint out of your territories cities of refuge, whereof I spoke to you by the hand of Drawn (Moses):

3 That the slayer that kills any person unawares and unwittingly may flee there: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

4 When he that flees to one of those cities shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

5 If the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he killed his neighbor unwittingly, and not out of hatred.

6 He shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then the slayer may return to his own city, to his own house, to the city from which he fled.

7 So they appointed Holy Place (Kedesh) in Galilee in Mount Wrestling (Naphtali), and Shoulder (Shechem) in Mount Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), and City of the Four (Kirjatharba), which is Association (Hebron), in the mountain of Praised (Judah).

8 On the other side The Descender (Jordan) by Its Moon (Jericho) eastward, they assigned Gold Ore (Bezer) in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Behold a Son (Reuben), and Heights (Ramoth) in Rocky Region (Gilead) out of the tribe of Troop (Gad), and Their Captivity: Their Rejoicing (Golan) in Fruitful (Bashan) out of the tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh).

9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of God Prevails (Israel), and for the stranger that sojourns among them, that whosoever kills any person unintentionally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.

I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 18

 1 Then the whole congregation of the children of God Prevails (Israel) assembled together at Tranquility (Shiloh), and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

2 There remained among the children of God Prevails (Israel) seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

3 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to the children of God Prevails (Israel): How long are you going to wait to go to possess the land, which I AM, God (Yehovah-Elohyim) of your fathers, has given you?

4 Take out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them. They shall rise, go through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they shall come again to me.

5 They shall divide it into seven parts: Praised (Judah) shall abide in their territory on the south, and the house of I AM Will Add (Joseph) shall abide in their territory on the north.

6 You shall therefore describe the land in seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before I AM our God (Yehovah-Elohyim).

7 But the Children of Joined To (Levites) have no part among you; for the priesthood of I AM (Lord) is their inheritance: Troop (Gad), Behold a Son (Reuben), and half the tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), have received their inheritance beyond The Descender (Jordan) on the east, which Drawn (Moses) the servant of I AM (Lord) gave them.

8 So, the men arose, and went away: and I AM is Salvation (Joshua) charged them that went to describe the land, saying: Go and walk through the land, describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before I AM (Lord) in Tranquility (Shiloh).

9 So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to I AM is Salvation (Joshua) to the host at Tranquility (Shiloh).

10 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) cast lots for them in Tranquility (Shiloh) before I AM (Yehovah Lord): and there I AM is Salvation (Joshua) divided the land to the children of God Prevails (Israel) according to their divisions.

11 The lot of the tribe of the children of Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) came up according to their families: and the border of their lot lay between the children of Praised (Judah) and the children of I AM Will Add (Joseph).

12 Their border on the north side was from The Descender (Jordan), and the border went up to the side of Its Moon (Jericho) on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of House of Vanity (Bethaven).

13 And the border went over from there toward Almond Tree (Luz), to the side of Almond Tree (Luz), which is Almond Tree (Luz), southward; and the border descended to Crowns of Glory (Atarothadar), near the hill that lies on the south side of the nether House of Hollowness (Bethhoron).

From there it went to City of Baal (Kirjathbaal), which is City of Forests (Kirjathjearim), a city of the children of Praised (Judah): this was the west quarter.

15 The south quarter was from the end of City of Forests (Kirjathjearim), and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Opening (Nephtoah):

16 Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Lamentation (Hinnom), and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Lamentation (Hinnom), to the side of Trodden Underfoot (Jebusi) on the south, and descended to Fountain of the Fuller (Enrogel),

17 It was then drawn from the north, and went out to Fountain of the Sun (Enshemesh), and went out toward Circuits (Geliloth), which is over against the going up of Red Spots (Adummim), and descended to the stone of Thumb (Bohan) the son of Behold a Son (Reuben),

18 It passed along toward the side over against Desert Plain (Arabah) northward, and went down to Desert Plain (Arabah):

19 Then the border passed along to the side of House of the Partridge (Bethhoglah) northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of The Descender (Jordan): this was the southern border.

20 The Descender (Jordan) was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin), by the boundaries thereof round about, according to their families.

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) according to their families were Its Moon (Jericho), House of the Partridge (Bethhoglah), and the valley of Cut-Off (Keziz),

22 House of the Desert Valley (Betharabah), Double Fleece of Wool (Zemaraim), and Almond Tree (Luz),
