¹⁶ The king of Mekkedah, one; The king of Beth-El, one;

¹⁷ and there hath not been left a man in Ai and Bethel who hath not gone out after Israel, and they leave the city open, and pursue after Israel.

²⁸ And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath devoted, them and every person who `is' in it -- he hath not left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.

²² And the house of Joseph go up -- even they -- to Beth-El, and Jehovah `is' with them;

⁸ And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.

¹⁹ and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, `house of God,' and yet, Luz `is' the name of the city at the first.
