 tell thee of4  ,and ,abraham rose up   
early in the morning1 and saddled his   
ass1 and took two of his young men with 
him1 and ,isaac his son1 and clave the  
wood for the burnt offering1 and rose up
 and went unto the place of which ,god  
had told him4 ,then on the third day    
,abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the 
place afar off4 ,and ,abraham said unto 
his young men1 ,abide ye here with the  
ass2 and ,i and the lad will go yonder  
and worship1 and come again to you4 ,and

 ,abraham took the wood of the burnt    
offering and laid it upon ,isaac his    
son2 and he took the fire in his hand

father3 and he1 said1 ,here am ,i1 my

the wood3 but where is the lamb for a   
burnt offering8 ,and ,abraham said1 ,my 
son1 ,god will provide himself a lamb   
for a burnt offering3 so they went both 
of them together4 ,and they came to the 
place which ,god had told him of2 and   
,abraham built an altar there1 and laid 
the wood in order1 and bound ,isaac his 
son1 and laid him on the altar upon the 
wood4 ,and ,abraham stretched forth his 
hand and took the knife to slay his son4

 him out of heaven1 and said1 ,abraham1

lifted up his eyes and looked1 and      
behold behind him a ram caught in a     
thicket by his horns3 and ,abraham went 
and took the ram1 and offered him up for
 a burnt offering in the stead of his   
son4  ,and ,abraham called the name of  
that place ,jehovah-jireh3 as it is to  
this day1 ,in the mount of the ,lord it

 of ,eglon1 gathered themselves

,gibeon1 and made war against it4  ,and 
the men of ,gibeon sent unto ,joshua to 
the camp to ,gilgal1 saying1 ,slack not 
thy hand from thy servants2 come up to  
us quickly1 and save us and help us3 for
 all the kings of the ,amorites that    
dwell in the mountains are gathered     
together against us4  ,so ,joshua       
ascended from ,gilgal1 he1 and all the  

people of war with him1 and all the     
mighty men of valor4 ,and the ,lord said
 unto ,joshua1 ,fear them not3 for ,i   
have delivered them into thine hand2    
there shall not a man of them stand     
before thee4 ,joshua therefore came unto
 them suddenly1 and went up from ,gilgal
 all night4 ,and the ,lord discomfited  
them before ,israel1 and slew them with 
a great slaughter at ,gibeon1 and chased
 them along the way that goeth up to    
,beth-horon1 and smote them to ,azekah1

pass1 as they fled from before ,israel1

,beth-horon1 that the ,lord cast down   
great stones from heaven upon them unto 
,azekah1 and they died3 they were more  
which died with hailstones than they    
whom the children of ,israel slew with  
the sword4  ,then spake ,joshua to the  
,lord in the day when the ,lord         
delivered up the ,amorites before the   
children of ,israel1 and he said in the 
sight of ,israel1 ,sun1 stand thou still

 upon ,gibeon2 and thou1 ,moon1 in the  
valley of ,ajalon4 ,and the sun stood   
still1 and the moon stayed1 until the   
people had avenged themselves upon their
 enemies4 ,is not this written in the   
book of ,jasher8 ,so the sun stood still
 in the midst of heaven1 and hastened   
not to go down about a whole day4 ,and  
there was no day like that before it or 
after it1 that the ,lord hearkened unto 
the voice of a man3 for the ,lord fought
 for ,israel4  ,and ,joshua returned1

 a cave at ,makkedah4 ,and ,joshua said1
 ,roll great stones upon the mouth of   
the cave1 and set men by it for to keep 
them3 and stay ye not1 but pursue after 
your enemies1 and smite the hindmost of 
them2 suffer them not to enter into

down off his chariot1 and fled away on

,harosheth of the ,gentiles3 and all the

,jael went out to meet ,sisera1 and said
 unto him1 ,turn in1 my lord1 turn in to
 me2 fear not4 ,and when he had turned  
in unto her into the tent1 she covered  
him with a mantle4 ,and he said unto    
her1 ,give me1 ,i pray thee1 a little   
water to drink2 for ,i am thirsty4 ,and 
she opened a bottle of milk1 and gave   
him drink1 and covered him4 ,again he   
said unto her1 ,stand in the door of the

 tent1 and it shall be1 when any man    
doth come and enquire of thee1 and say1 
,is there any man here8 that thou shalt 
say1 ,no4 ,then ,jael1 ,heber's wife1   
took a nail of the tent1 and took an    
hammer in her hand1 and went softly unto
 him1 and smote the nail into his       
temples1 and fastened it into the       
ground3 for he was fast asleep and      
weary4 ,so he died4  ,and1 behold1 as
