&#8220;This is the ordinance of the law which the <sc>Lordsc> has commanded: &#8216;Instruct<n id="1" /> the Israelites to bring<n id="2" /> you a red<n id="3" /> heifer<n id="4" /> without blemish, which has no defect<n id="5" /> and has never carried a yoke.

You must offer a burnt offering, an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the <sc>Lordsc>: thirteen young bulls, two rams, and fourteen lambs each one year old, all of them without blemish.

<p class="bodytext">The sun stood still and the moon stood motionless while the nation took vengeance on its enemies. The event is recorded in the Scroll of the Upright One.<n id="1" /> The sun stood motionless in the middle of the sky and did not set for about a full day.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> obey<n id="2" /> the <sc>Lordsc> and worship<n id="3" /> him with integrity and loyalty. Put aside the gods your ancestors<n id="4" /> worshiped<n id="5" /> beyond the Euphrates<n id="6" /> and in Egypt and worship<n id="7" /> the <sc>Lordsc>.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Now, if you have shown loyalty and integrity when you made Abimelech king, if you have done right to Jerub-Baal and his family,<n id="1" /> if you have properly repaid him<n id="2" /> &#8211;
