1Now after the death of Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] it came to pass, that the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] asked the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), saying, Who shall go up for us against the Kena’ani [Merchant] first, to fight against them? 2And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 3And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] said unto Shim’on [he who hears] his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Kena’ani [Merchant]; and I likewise will go with youⁱ into youⁱ lot. So Shim’on [he who hears] went with him. 4And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] went up; and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered the Kena’ani [Merchant] and the P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns] into their hand: and they killed of them in Bezek [Lightning] ten thousand men. 5And they found Adonis--Bezek [My Lord is Lightning] in Bezek [Lightning]: and they fought against him, and they killed the Kena’ani [Merchant] and the P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns]. 6But Adonis--Bezek [My Lord is Lightning] fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 7And Adonis--Bezek [My Lord is Lightning] said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has requited me. And they brought him to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and there he died.

8Now the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] had fought against Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 9And afterward the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] went down to fight against the Kena’ani [Merchant], that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley. 10And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] went against the Kena’ani [Merchant] that dwelt in Hevron [Seat of Association]: (now the name of Hevron [Seat of Association] before [was] Kiryat-Arba [City of Arba (four)]:) and they killed Sheshai [Noble], and Achiman [My Brother is a Gift], and Talmai [Plowman].

11And from there he went against the inhabitants of D’vir [Sanctuary]: and the name of D’vir [Sanctuary] before [was] Kiryat-Sepher [City of the Book]: 12And Kalev [Dog] said, He that smites Kiryat-Sepher [City of the Book], and takes it, to him will I give ‘Akhsah [Anklet] my daughter to wife. 13And ‘Otni’el [Lion of God] the son of K’naz [Hunter], Kalev [Dog]'s younger brother, took it: and he gave him ‘Akhsah [Anklet] his daughter to wife. 14And it came to pass, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off [her] ass; and Kalev [Dog] said unto her, What will youⁱ? 15And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for youⁱ have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Kalev [Dog] gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

16And the children of the Kayin [Possession], Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] into the wilderness of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], which [lies] in the south of ‘Arad [A Wild Ass]; and they went and dwelt among the people. 17And Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] went with Shim’on [he who hears] his brother, and they killed the Kena’ani [Merchant] that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah [Asylum]. 18Also Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] took ‘Azah [The Strong] with the coast thereof, and Askelon [The Fire of Infamy: I shall be Weighed] with the coast thereof, and ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] with the coast thereof. 19And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was with Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]; and he drove out [the inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. 20And they gave Hevron [Seat of Association] unto Kalev [Dog], as Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] said: and he expelled there the three sons of Anak [Neck]. 21And the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] did not drive out the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] that inhabited Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; but the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] dwell with the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto this day.

22And the house of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add], they also went up against Beit-El [House of God]: and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was] with them. 23And the house of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] sent to descry (search out; map out; to describe) Beit-El [House of God]. (Now the name of the city before [was] Luz [Almond Tree].) 24And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray youⁱ, the entrance into the city, and we will show youⁱ mercy. 25And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family. 26And the man went into the land of the Hitti [Terrorists], and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz [Almond Tree]: which [is] the name thereof unto this day.

27Neither did M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] drive out [the inhabitants of] Beit-Sh’an [House of Ease] and her towns, nor Ta’anakh [Sandy] and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor [Generation] and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Yivle’am [Devouring the People] and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo [Place of Crowds] and her towns: but the Kena’ani [Merchant] would dwell in that land. 28And it came to pass, when Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was strong, that they put the Kena’ani [Merchant] to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.

29Neither did Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] drive out the Kena’ani [Merchant] that dwelt in Gezer [Portion]; but the Kena’ani [Merchant] dwelt in Gezer [Portion] among them.

30Neither did Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place] drive out the inhabitants of Kitron [Incense], nor the inhabitants of Nahalol [Pasture]; but the Kena’ani [Merchant] dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

31Neither did Asher [Happy] drive out the inhabitants of ‘Akko [His Straitness], nor the inhabitants of Tzidon [Hunting], nor of Ahlav [Fertile Place], nor of Achziv [Deceit], nor of Helbah [Fertile], nor of Afik [Enclosure], nor of Rechov [Broad Place]: 32But the Asheri [Happy] dwelt among the Kena’ani [Merchant], the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.

33Neither did Naftali [My Wrestling] drive out the inhabitants of Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], nor the inhabitants of Beit-’Anat [House of Response (or Affliction)]; but he dwelt among the Kena’ani [Merchant], the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun] and of Beit-’Anat [House of Response (or Affliction)] became tributaries unto them.

34And the Emori [Highlanders] forced the children of Dan [Judge] into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley: 35But the Emori [Highlanders] would dwell in mount Heres [The Sun] in Ayalon [Field of Deer], and in Sha’alvim [Place of Foxes]: yet the hand of the house of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] prevailed, so that they became tributaries. 36And the coast of the Emori [Highlanders] [was] from the going up to ‘Akrabbim [Ascent of Scorpions], from the rock, and upward.
