¹ And the lot for the sons of Joseph goeth out from Jordan `by' Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of Beth-El,

¹⁵ And Joshua and all Israel `seem' stricken before them, and flee the way of the wilderness,

¹² And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;

⁶¹ In the wilderness: Beth-Arabah, Middin, and Secacah,

¹⁹ And the men of the city say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee, the site of the city `is' good, as my lord seeth, and the waters `are' bad, and the earth sterile.'

²⁰ And he saith, `Bring to me a new dish, and place there salt;' and they bring `it' unto him,

²¹ and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.'
