May – 11 | Day – 131
Old Testament: Joshua – 18-19 | Jeremiah – 52:1-18

1 And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.

2 But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.

3 And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?

4 Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.

5 Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.

6 The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.

7 But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”

8 And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”

9 And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.

10 And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.

11 And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

12 And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.

13 And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.

14 And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.

15 But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.

16 And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom,) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,

17 crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.

18 And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.

19 And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,

20 which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.

21 And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,

22 Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,

23 and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,

24 the town of Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities, and their villages;

25 Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,

26 and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,

27 and Rekem, Irpeel, and Taralah,

28 and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.

1 And the second lot went out, for the sons of Simeon by their families. And their inheritance was,

2 in the midst of the possession of the sons of Judah: Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

3 and Hazar-shual, Balah, and Ezem,

4 and Eltolad, Bethul, and Hormah,

5 and Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,

6 and Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen: thirteen cities, and their villages;

7 Ain and Enrimmon, and Ether and Ashan: four cities, and their villages;

8 all villages around these cities, as far as Baalath-beer, the high place facing the southern region. This is the inheritance of the sons of Simeon, according to their families,

9 within the possession and lot of the sons of Judah, which was greater. And for this reason, the sons of Simeon had a possession in the midst of their inheritance.

10 And the third lot fell to the sons of Zebulun, by their families; and the limit of their possession was set as far as Sarid.

11 And it ascends from the sea and from Mareal. And it passes on to Dabbesheth, as far as the torrent, which is opposite Jokneam.

12 And it turns back from Sarid, to the east, to the end of Chisloth-tabor. And it goes out to Daberath, and it ascends opposite Japhia.

13 And from there, it continues to the eastern region of Gathhepher and Ethkazin. And goes out to Rimmon, Amthar, and Neah.

14 And it circles to the north at Hannathon. And its exits are at the Valley of Iphtahel;

15 and Kattath and Nahalal, and Shimron and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities, and their villages.

16 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, by their families, the cities and their villages.

17 The fourth lot went out to Issachar, by their families.

18 And his inheritance was: Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,

19 and Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,

20 and Rabbith and Kishion, Ebez

21 and Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez.

22 And its limit reaches to Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth-shemesh; and its exits shall be at the Jordan: sixteen cities, and their villages.

23 This is the possession of the sons of Issachar by their families, the cities and their villages.

24 And the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher, by their families.

25 And their border was: Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

26 and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal. And it extends even to Carmel by the sea, and Shihor, and Libnath.

27 And it turns back toward the east at Bethdagon. And it continues on as far as Zebulun and the Valley of Iphtahel, toward the north, at Beth-emek and Neiel. And it goes out to the left of Cabul,

28 and to Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, as far as the great Sidon.

29 And it turns back at Ramah, even to the very fortified city of Tyre, and even to Hosah. And its exits shall be at the sea, from the lot of Achzib;

30 and Ummah, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities, and their villages.

31 This is the possession of the sons of Asher, by their families, and the cities and their villages.

32 The sixth lot fell to the sons of Naphtali, by their families.

33 And its border begins from Heleph and Elon, into Zaanannim, and Adami, which is Nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum. And its exits are as far as the Jordan.

34 And the border turns back to the west at Aznoth-tabor, and it goes out from there to Hukkok. And continues on to Zebulun, in the south, and to Asher, in the west, and to Judah, at the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.

35 And the most fortified cities are Ziddim, Zer and Hammath, and Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

36 and Adamah and Ramah, Hazor

37 and Kedesh and Edrei, Enhazor

38 and Yiron and Migdalel, Horem and Bethanath, and Beth-shemesh: nineteen cities, and their villages.

39 This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, by their families, the cities and their villages.

40 The seventh lot went out to the tribe of the sons of Dan, by their families.

41 And the border of their possession was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh, that is, the City of the Sun,

42 Sha-alabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,

43 Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,

44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon and Baalath,

45 and Jehud, and Bene and Berak, and Gath-Rimmon,

46 and Mejarkon and Rakkon, with a border that looks toward Joppa,

47 and there the last part is concluded. And the sons of Dan ascended and fought against Leshem, and they seized it. And they struck it with the mouth of the sword, and they possessed it, and they lived in it, calling it by the name of Leshem-Dan, according to the name of their father Dan.

48 This is the possession of the tribe of the sons of Dan, by their families, the cities and their villages.

49 And when he had completed dividing the land by lot to each one by their tribes, the sons of Israel gave a possession to Joshua, the son of Nun, in their midst,

50 in accord with the precept of the Lord, the city he requested, Timnath-Serah, on mount Ephraim. And he built up the city, and he lived in it.

51 These are the possessions which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families and tribes of the sons of Israel divided by lot at Shiloh, before the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And so did they divide the land.

1 Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.

2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.

4 And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.

5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.

7 And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.

8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.

9 And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.

10 And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.

11 And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.

12 Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.

13 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.

14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.

15 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.

17 The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.

18 And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.

Psalms: Psalms – 59:14-18

14 When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.

15 They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.

16 They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.

17 But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.

18 Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.

New Testament: Luke – 23:44-56

44 Now it was nearly the sixth hour, and a darkness occurred over the entire earth, until the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

46 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And upon saying this, he expired.

47 Now, the centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God, saying, “Truly, this man was the Just One.”

48 And the entire crowd of those who came together to see this spectacle also saw what had happened, and they returned, striking their breasts.

49 Now all those who knew him, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance, watching these things.

50 And behold, there was a man named Joseph, who was a councilman, a good and just man,

51 (for he had not consented to their decision or their actions). He was from Arimathea, a city of Judea. And he was himself also anticipating the kingdom of God.

52 This man approached Pilate and petitioned for the body of Jesus.

53 And taking him down, he wrapped him in a fine linen cloth, and he placed him in a tomb hewn from rock, in which no one had ever been placed.

54 And it was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

55 Now the women who had come with him from Galilee, by following, saw the tomb and the manner in which his body was placed.

56 And upon returning, they prepared aromatic spices and ointments. But on the Sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the commandment.
