<strong>Jasher</strong> Chapter 91<br />
1. At that time, after the death <strong>of</strong> Joshua, the children <strong>of</strong> the Canaanites were still in the land, and the Israelites<br />
resolved to drive them out.<br />
2. And the children <strong>of</strong> Israel asked <strong>of</strong> the Lord, saying, Who shall first go up for us to the Canaanites to fight<br />
against them? and the Lord said, Judah shall go up.<br />
3. And the children <strong>of</strong> Judah said to Simeon, Go up with us into our lot, and we will fight against the Canaanites<br />
and we likewise will go up with you, in your lot, so the children <strong>of</strong> Simeon went with the children <strong>of</strong> Judah.<br />
4. And the children <strong>of</strong> Judah went up and fought against the Canaanites, so the Lord delivered the Canaanites into<br />
the hands <strong>of</strong> the children <strong>of</strong> Judah, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.<br />
5. And they fought with Adonibezek in Bezek, and he fled from before them, and they pursued him and caught<br />
him, and they took hold <strong>of</strong> him and cut <strong>of</strong>f his thumbs and great toes.<br />
6. And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings having their thumbs and great toes cut <strong>of</strong>f, gathered their meat<br />
under my table, as I have done, so God has requited me, and they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.<br />
7. And the children <strong>of</strong> Simeon went with the children <strong>of</strong> Judah, and they smote the Canaanites with the edge <strong>of</strong> the<br />
sword.<br />
8. And the Lord was with the children <strong>of</strong> Judah, and they possessed the mountain, and the children <strong>of</strong> Joseph went<br />
up to Bethel, the same is Luz, and the Lord was with them.<br />
9. And the children <strong>of</strong> Joseph spied out Bethel, and the watchmen saw a man going forth from the city, and they<br />
caught him and said unto him, Show us now the entrance <strong>of</strong> the city and we will show kindness to thee.<br />
10. And that man showed them the entrance <strong>of</strong> the city, and the children <strong>of</strong> Joseph came and smote the City with the<br />
edge <strong>of</strong> the sword.<br />
11. And the man with his family they sent away, and he went to the Hittites and he built a city, and he called the<br />
name there<strong>of</strong> Luz, so all the Israelites dwelt in their cities, and the children at Israel dwelt in their cities, and the<br />
children <strong>of</strong> Israel served the Lord all the days <strong>of</strong> Joshua, and all the days <strong>of</strong> the elders, who had lengthened their<br />
days after Joshua, and saw the great work <strong>of</strong> the Lord, which he had performed for Israel.<br />
12. And the elders judged Israel after the death <strong>of</strong> Joshua for seventeen years.<br />
13. And all the elders also fought the battles <strong>of</strong> Israel against the Canaanites and the Lord drove the Canaanites from<br />
before the children <strong>of</strong> Israel, in order to place the Israelites in their land.<br />
14. And he ac<strong>com</strong>plished all the words which he had spoken to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the oath which he<br />
had sworn, to give to them and to their children, the land <strong>of</strong> the Canaanites.<br />
15. And the Lord gave to the children <strong>of</strong> Israel the whole land <strong>of</strong> Canaan, as he had sworn to their ancestors, and<br />
the Lord gave them rest from those around them, and the children <strong>of</strong> Israel dwelt securely in their cities.<br />
16. Blessed be the Lord for ever, amen, and amen.<br />
17. Strengthen yourselves, and let the hearts <strong>of</strong> all you that trust in the Lord be <strong>of</strong> good courage.<br />
