¶ Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.

Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

¶ Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

    1AND Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

    2And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

    3Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.

    4But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

    5¶ Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

    6And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

    7And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

    8¶ And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

    9And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

    10¶ So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

    11And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.

    12¶ And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:

    13But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.

    14And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

    15And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?

    22Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

    23Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

    24And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

    25And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.

    26And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

    27Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.

    28And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

    29And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.

    30And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

    7And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?

    8Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

    9For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.

    10And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

    11Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

    12Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord.

    13And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the Lord, was consumed.

    14And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.

    15For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

    16¶ And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

    17But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

    18We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

    19For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

    20¶ And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,

    21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

    22And the land be subdued before the Lord: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.

    23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

    24Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

    25And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

    26Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

    27But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.

    28So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

    29And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the Lord, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

    30But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

    31And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

    32We will pass over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

    33And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.

    34¶ And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

    35And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

    36And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

    37And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

    38And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

    39And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

    40And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

    41And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havoth-jair.

    42And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
