²⁷ and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'

¹² and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them;

²⁸ And Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, `one' of his young men, answereth and saith, `My lord Moses, restrain them.'

¹¹ And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin `in' which we have been foolish, and `in' which we have sinned;

¹⁷ and we -- we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;

² and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.

⁴ for the weapons of our warfare `are' not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds,

⁵ reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;

¹¹ put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil,

¹² because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places;

¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done -- to stand.

¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness,

¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace;

¹⁶ above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench,

¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,

¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints --

⁷ the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
