I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember to me, my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.

Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

It shall be, if it gives you answer of peace and opens to you, then it shall be that all the people who are found therein shall become forced laborers to you, and shall serve you.

But of the cities of these peoples that Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes;
