1 And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, inasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; but the genealogy is not registered according to the birthright,

1 וּבְנֵ֨י רְאוּבֵ֥ן בְּכֹֽור־יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ כִּ֣י ה֣וּא הַבְּכֹור֒ וּֽבְחַלְּלֹו֙ יְצוּעֵ֣י אָבִ֔יו נִתְּנָה֙ בְּכֹ֣רָתֹ֔ו לִבְנֵ֥י יֹוסֵ֖ף בֶּן־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלֹ֥א לְהִתְיַחֵ֖שׂ לַבְּכֹרָֽה׃

2 for Judah prevailed among his brethren, and of him was the prince, but the birthright was Joseph's),

2 כִּ֤י יְהוּדָה֙ גָּבַ֣ר בְּאֶחָ֔יו וּלְנָגִ֖יד מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְהַבְּכֹרָ֖ה לְיֹוסֵֽף׃

3 -- the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch and Phallu, Hezron and Carmi.

3 בְּנֵ֥י רְאוּבֵ֖ן בְּכֹ֣ור יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל חֲנֹ֥וךְ וּפַלּ֖וּא חֶצְרֹ֥ון וְכַרְמִֽי׃

4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

4 בְּנֵ֖י יֹואֵ֑ל שְׁמַֽעְיָ֥ה בְנֹ֛ו גֹּ֥וג בְּנֹ֖ו שִׁמְעִ֥י בְנֹֽו׃

5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

5 מִיכָ֥ה בְנֹ֛ו רְאָיָ֥ה בְנֹ֖ו בַּ֥עַל בְּנֹֽו׃

6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

6 בְּאֵרָ֣ה בְנֹ֔ו אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶגְלָ֔ה תִּלְּגַ֥ת פִּלְנְאֶ֖סֶר מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשֻּׁ֑ר ה֥וּא נָשִׂ֖יא לָרֽאוּבֵנִֽי׃

7 And his brethren by their families, in the genealogical register of their generations, were: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

7 וְאֶחָיו֙ לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֔יו בְּהִתְיַחֵ֖שׂ לְתֹלְדֹותָ֑ם הָרֹ֥אשׁ יְעִיאֵ֖ל וּזְכַרְיָֽהוּ׃

8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon;

8 וּבֶ֙לַע֙ בֶּן־עָזָ֔ז בֶּן־שֶׁ֖מַע בֶּן־יֹואֵ֑ל ה֚וּא יֹושֵׁ֣ב בַּעֲרֹעֵ֔ר וְעַד־נְבֹ֖ו וּבַ֥עַל מְעֹֽון׃

9 and eastward he dwelt as far as the entrance to the wilderness from the river Euphrates; for their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

9 וְלַמִּזְרָ֗ח יָשַׁב֙ עַד־לְבֹ֣וא מִדְבָּ֔רָה לְמִן־הַנָּהָ֖ר פְּרָ֑ת כִּ֧י מִקְנֵיהֶ֛ם רָב֖וּ בְּאֶ֥רֶץ גִּלְעָֽד׃

10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the east side of Gilead.

10 וּבִימֵ֣י שָׁא֗וּל עָשׂ֤וּ מִלְחָמָה֙ עִם־הַֽהַגְרִאִ֔ים וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ בְּיָדָ֑ם וַיֵּשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאָ֣הֳלֵיהֶ֔ם עַֽל־כָּל־פְּנֵ֖י מִזְרָ֥ח לַגִּלְעָֽד׃

11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salcah:

11 וּבְנֵי־גָ֣ד לְנֶגְדָּ֗ם יָֽשְׁב֛וּ בְּאֶ֥רֶץ הַבָּשָׁ֖ן עַד־סַלְכָֽה׃

12 Joel was the chief and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

12 יֹואֵ֣ל הָרֹ֔אשׁ וְשָׁפָ֖ם הַמִּשְׁנֶ֑ה וְיַעְנַ֥י וְשָׁפָ֖ט בַּבָּשָֽׁן׃

13 And their brethren according to their fathers' houses were Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jaachan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.

13 וַאֲחֵיהֶ֞ם לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹותֵיהֶ֗ם מִֽיכָאֵ֡ל וּמְשֻׁלָּ֡ם וְ֠שֶׁבַע וְיֹורַ֧י וְיַעְכָּ֛ן וְזִ֥יעַ וָעֵ֖בֶר שִׁבְעָֽה׃

14 -- These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz:

14 אֵ֣לֶּה׀ בְּנֵ֣י אֲבִיחַ֗יִל בֶּן־חוּרִ֡י בֶּן־יָ֠רֹוחַ בֶּן־גִּלְעָ֧ד בֶּן־מִיכָאֵ֛ל בֶּן־יְשִׁישַׁ֥י בֶּן־יַחְדֹּ֖ו בֶּן־בּֽוּז׃

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their fathers' house.

15 אֲחִי֙ בֶּן־עַבְדִּיאֵ֣ל בֶּן־גּוּנִ֔י רֹ֖אשׁ לְבֵ֥ית אֲבֹותָֽם׃

16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the pasture-grounds of Sharon, as far as their limits.

16 וַיֵּֽשְׁב֛וּ בַּגִּלְעָ֥ד בַּבָּשָׁ֖ן וּבִבְנֹתֶ֑יהָ וּבְכָֽל־מִגְרְשֵׁ֥י שָׁרֹ֖ון עַל־תֹּוצְאֹותָֽם׃

17 All these were registered by genealogy in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

17 כֻּלָּם֙ הִתְיַחְשׂ֔וּ בִּימֵ֖י יֹותָ֣ם מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֑ה וּבִימֵ֖י יָרָבְעָ֥ם מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

18 The children of Reuben and the Gadites and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men who carried shield and sword, drawing the bow and skilful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, able to go forth to war.

18 בְּנֵֽי־רְאוּבֵ֨ן וְגָדִ֜י וַחֲצִ֥י שֵֽׁבֶט־מְנַשֶּׁה֮ מִן־בְּנֵי־חַיִל֒ אֲ֠נָשִׁים נֹשְׂאֵ֨י מָגֵ֤ן וְחֶ֙רֶב֙ וְדֹ֣רְכֵי קֶ֔שֶׁת וּלְמוּדֵ֖י מִלְחָמָ֑ה אַרְבָּעִ֨ים וְאַרְבָּעָ֥ה אֶ֛לֶף וּשְׁבַע־מֵאֹ֥ות וְשִׁשִּׁ֖ים יֹצְאֵ֥י צָבָֽא׃

19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab;

19 וַיַּעֲשׂ֥וּ מִלְחָמָ֖ה עִם־הַֽהַגְרִיאִ֑ים וִיט֥וּר וְנָפִ֖ישׁ וְנֹודָֽב׃

20 and they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

20 וַיֵּעָזְר֣וּ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וַיִּנָּתְנ֤וּ בְיָדָם֙ הַֽהַגְרִיאִ֔ים וְכֹ֖ל שֶׁ֣עִמָּהֶ֑ם כִּ֠י לֵאלֹהִ֤ים זָעֲקוּ֙ בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וְנַעְתֹּ֥ור לָהֶ֖ם כִּי־בָ֥טְחוּ בֹֽו׃

21 And they took away their cattle: their camels fifty thousand, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand human souls.

21 וַיִּשְׁבּ֣וּ מִקְנֵיהֶ֗ם גְּֽמַלֵּיהֶ֞ם חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים אֶ֙לֶף֙ וְצֹ֗אן מָאתַ֤יִם וַחֲמִשִּׁים֙ אֶ֔לֶף וַחֲמֹורִ֖ים אַלְפָּ֑יִם וְנֶ֥פֶשׁ אָדָ֖ם מֵ֥אָה אָֽלֶף׃

22 For there fell down many slain, for the war was of God. And they dwelt in their stead until the captivity.

22 כִּֽי־חֲלָלִ֤ים רַבִּים֙ נָפָ֔לוּ כִּ֥י מֵהָאֱלֹהִ֖ים הַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וַיֵּשְׁב֥וּ תַחְתֵּיהֶ֖ם עַד־הַגֹּלָֽה׃

23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land, from Bashan as far as Baal-Hermon and Senir, and mount Hermon; they were many.

23 וּבְנֵ֗י חֲצִי֙ שֵׁ֣בֶט מְנַשֶּׁ֔ה יָשְׁב֖וּ בָּאָ֑רֶץ מִבָּשָׁ֞ן עַד־בַּ֧עַל חֶרְמֹ֛ון וּשְׂנִ֥יר וְהַר־חֶרְמֹ֖ון הֵ֥מָּה רָבֽוּ׃

24 And these were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, and Jishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.

24 וְאֵ֖לֶּה רָאשֵׁ֣י בֵית־אֲבֹותָ֑ם וְעֵ֡פֶר וְיִשְׁעִ֡י וֶאֱלִיאֵ֡ל וְ֠עַזְרִיאֵל וְיִרְמְיָ֨ה וְהֹודַוְיָ֜ה וְיַחְדִּיאֵ֗ל אֲנָשִׁים֙ גִּבֹּ֣ורֵי חַ֔יִל אַנְשֵׁ֣י שֵׁמֹ֔ות רָאשִׁ֖ים לְבֵ֥ית אֲבֹותָֽם׃

25 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

25 וַיִּֽמְעֲל֔וּ בֵּאלֹהֵ֖י אֲבֹותֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּזְנ֗וּ אַחֲרֵי֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י עַמֵּי־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־הִשְׁמִ֥יד אֱלֹהִ֖ים מִפְּנֵיהֶֽם׃

26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, -- unto this day.

26 וַיָּעַר֩ אֱלֹהֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶת־ר֣וּחַ׀ פּ֣וּל מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֗וּר וְאֶת־ר֙וּחַ֙ תִּלְּגַ֤ת פִּלְנֶ֙סֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וַיַּגְלֵם֙ לָראוּבֵנִ֣י וְלַגָּדִ֔י וְלַחֲצִ֖י שֵׁ֣בֶט מְנַשֶּׁ֑ה וַ֠יְבִיאֵם לַחְלַ֨ח וְחָבֹ֤ור וְהָרָא֙ וּנְהַ֣ר גֹּוזָ֔ן עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃
