calf you had made, and burned it in the
fire. Then I

abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the

firstborn of your flock.

leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the
first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the
first day shall remain until morning.

If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another
hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the
hated; and if the
firstborn son be hers that was
hated:
If a man has two wives, one beloved and the other unloved, and both bear him sons, but the unloved wife has the
firstborn son,
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to
inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved
firstborn before the son of the
hated, which is indeed the
firstborn:
when that man assigns his inheritance to his sons he must not
appoint the son of the beloved wife as the
firstborn over the son of the unloved wife.
But he shall acknowledge the son of the
hated for the
firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the
firstborn is his.
Instead, he must acknowledge the
firstborn, the son of his unloved wife, by giving him a double portion of all that he has. For that son is the
firstfruits of his father’s strength; the right of the

defiled; for that is
abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
then the husband who
divorced her
first may not remarry her after she has been
defiled, for that is an
abomination to the LORD. You must not bring sin upon the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
And it shall be, that the
firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
The
first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so that his name will not be
blotted out from Israel.

firstfruits of all your produce from the soil of the land that the LORD your God is giving you and put them in a
basket. Then go to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name,

firstfruits of the land that You, O LORD, have given me.” Then you are to place the
basket before the LORD your God and bow down before Him.

fire is
kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest
hell, and shall
consume the earth with her increase, and set on
fire the foundations of the mountains.

And he said, The LORD came from
Sinai, and rose up from
Seir unto them; he
shined forth from mount
Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a
fiery law for them.
He said: “The LORD came from
Sinai and
dawned upon us from
Seir; He
shone forth from Mount
Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming
fire at His right hand.
His glory is like the
firstling of his
bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall
push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of
Manasseh.
His majesty is like a
firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will
gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of
Manasseh.”
And he provided the
first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the
lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”

firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the
lodging place, where ye shall
lodge this night.
and command them: ‘Take up for
yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them with you, and set them down in the place where you
spend the night.’”
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the
first month, and
encamped in
Gilgal, in the east border of
Jericho.

first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at

And Joshua
adjured them at that time, saying,
Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city
Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his
firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
At that time Joshua
invoked this solemn oath: “
Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city,
Jericho; at the cost of his
firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the
accursed thing shall be burnt with
fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath
transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
The one who is caught with the things devoted to destruction must be burned, along with all that belongs to him, because he has
transgressed the covenant of the LORD and committed an
outrage in Israel.’”
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
“Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “
Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the
first, that we will
flee before them,
Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the
first time, we will
flee from them.
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They
flee before us, as at the
first: therefore we will
flee before them.
They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we
flee from them,
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”

ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on
fire.
and as soon as he did so, the men in
ambush rose quickly from their position. They
rushed forward, entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on
fire.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to
morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt
hough their horses, and burn their
chariots with
fire.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time
tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to
hamstring their horses and burn up their
chariots.”

bade him: he
houghed their horses, and burnt their
chariots with
fire.

hamstrung their horses and burned up their
chariots.

smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to
breathe: and he burnt Hazor with
fire.

Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. Their
allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:

Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
The
first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah,
Simeon, and Benjamin.

Canaanites first, to fight against them?

first to go up and fight for us against the
Canaanites?”

unleavened cakes; and there rose up
fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the
unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
Then the angel of the LORD extended the
tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the
unleavened bread. And
fire flared from the rock and consumed the meat and the
unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD
vanished from his sight.
And he said unto Jether his
firstborn, Up, and
slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
So he said to Jether, his
firstborn, “Get up and kill them.” But the young man did not draw his sword; he was fearful because he was still a youth.
And the
bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye
anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let
fire come out of the
bramble, and
devour the cedars of
Lebanon.
But the thornbush replied, ‘If you really are
anointing me as king over you, come and find refuge in my shade. But if not, may
fire come out of the thornbush and
consume the cedars of
Lebanon.’
And all the people likewise cut down every man his
bough, and followed
Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on
fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of
Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
So each man also cut his own branch and followed
Abimelech. Then they piled the branches against the inner chamber and set it on
fire above them, killing
everyone in the tower of
Shechem, about a thousand men and women.
And
Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with
fire.
When
Abimelech came to attack the tower, he approached its entrance to set it on
fire.
