¹⁶ The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Beth-el, one;

¹⁷ There was not a man in Ai and Beth-el who did not go out after Israel; and the town was open and unwatched while they went after Israel.

²⁸ That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

²² And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.

⁸ And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.

¹⁹ And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.
