They attached to it a blue cord, to attach it to the turban above, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

This is what the <sc>Lordsc> commanded to give to them from the Israelites on the day Moses<n id="1" /> anointed them<n id="2" /> &#8211; a perpetual allotted portion throughout their generations.<n id="3" />p>

I am the <sc>Lordsc> your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan &#8211; to be your God.<n id="1" />p>

From where shall I get<n id="1" /> meat to give to this entire people, for they cry to me, &#8216;Give us meat, that we may eat!&#8217;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">So Moses spoke to the people: &#8220;Arm<n id="1" /> men from among you for the war, to attack the Midianites and to execute<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s vengeance on Midian.

You complained among yourselves privately<n id="1" /> and said, &#8220;Because the <sc>Lordsc> hates us he brought us from Egypt to deliver us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us!

&#8220;Not a single person<n id="1" /> of this evil generation will see the good land that I promised to give to your ancestors!

to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property.<n id="1" />

He delivered us from there so that he could give us the land he had promised our ancestors.

Then he<n id="1" /> said to me, &#8220;Get up, set out leading<n id="2" /> the people so they may go and possess<n id="3" /> the land I promised to give to their ancestors.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

and that you may enjoy long life in the land the <sc>Lordsc> promised to give to your ancestors<n id="1" /> and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

so that your days and those of your descendants may be extended in the land which the <sc>Lordsc> promised to give to your ancestors, like the days of heaven itself.<n id="1" />

If the <sc>Lordsc> your God enlarges your borders as he promised your ancestors<n id="1" /> and gives you all the land he pledged to them,<n id="2" />

The <sc>Lordsc> will greatly multiply your children,<n id="1" /> the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he<n id="2" /> promised your ancestors<n id="3" /> he would give you.

<p class="bodytext">So the <sc>Lordsc> gave Israel all the land he had solemnly promised to their ancestors,<n id="1" /> and they conquered<n id="2" /> it and lived in it.

But we can&#8217;t allow our daughters to marry them,<n id="1" /> for the Israelites took an oath, saying, &#8216;Whoever gives a woman to a Benjaminite will be destroyed!&#8217;<n id="2" />

So she decided to return home from the region of Moab, accompanied by her daughters-in-law,<n id="1" /> because while she was living in Moab<n id="2" /> she had heard that the <sc>Lordsc> had shown concern<n id="3" /> for his people, reversing the famine by providing abundant crops.<n id="4" />p>

The king of Israel said, &#8220;Oh no!<n id="1" /> Certainly the <sc>Lordsc> has summoned these three kings so that he can hand them over to the king of Moab!&#8221;
