1
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak unto Moses saying: Take Aaron, thy brother, and Eleazar, his son, and bring them up unto Mount Hor,
2
And there thou shall strip Aaron of his garments, and then thou shall put them upon Eleazar, his son.
3
And so it was that Moses did as יהוה (YHVH) did instruct them, and they did go up into the mount in the sight of all the congregation.
4
¶ And it came to pass that Moses did strip Aaron of his garments and did put them upon Eleazar, his son.
5
And so it was that Aaron did die there in the top of the mount; and Moses and Eleazar came alone down from the mount.
6
¶ And it came to pass that when all the congregation did see that Aaron was dead, they did mourn for thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
7
¶ And it came to pass that the king of the Canaanites to the south did hear by the way of his spies that the Israelites had come.
8
And so it was that he did gather his armies to fight against the Israelites.
9
And it came to pass that the children of Israel were sore afraid, for he had a large and mighty army,
10
And so it was that the children of Israel did turn back for three days, so great was their fear of him.
11
¶ And it came to pass that when Joshua, the son of Nun, did see that the children of Israel would not turn back, he did grow angry for the sake of יהוה (YHVH).
12
And so it was that Joshua did rise up and face Israel, and forced them to turn back to their place, that they should be even where יהוה (YHVH) did send them.
13
¶ And it came to pass that when they did return, the king of the Canaanites was still gathering his troops to do battle against Israel.
14
And so it was that Joshua, son of Nun, did go before יהוה (YHVH), and there he vowed a vow, saying: If thou wilt deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
15
And it came to pass that Ha’Elohim did hear the voice of Joshua, servant of Moses,
16
And so it was that יהוה (YHVH) did deliver the Canaanites into our hand, and יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did utterly destroy them and their cities.
17
¶ And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim, did slay their elohim, and all in that land that would not follow El Elyon; and יהוה (YHVH) was once more undefeated.
