And as He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He  ¹questioned them, saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

And they answered and said, John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that a certain prophet of the ancients has risen up.

And He said to them, But you, who do you say that I am? And Peter answered and said, The Christ of God.

But He charged them and commanded them to tell this to no one,

Saying, The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be  ¹rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

And He said to them all, If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

For whoever wants to save his soul-life shall  ¹lose it; but whoever loses his soul-life for My sake, this one shall save it.

For what is a man profited if he  ¹gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?

For whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words, of this one will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

But I say to you truly, There are some of those standing here who shall by no means taste death until they see the kingdom of God.

And about  ¹eight days after these words, He took with Him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.

And as He prayed, the appearance of His face became different, and His garment  ¹dazzling white.

And behold, two men were conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

Who appeared in glory and spoke of His departure, which He was about to complete in Jerusalem.

Now Peter and those with him had been overcome with sleep, but when they had fully woken up, they saw His glory and the two men who were standing with Him.

And as they were departing from Him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah — not knowing what he was saying.

And while he said these things, a cloud appeared and overshadowed them; and they became frightened as they entered into the cloud.

And a voice came out of the cloud,  ¹saying, This is My Son, the  ²Chosen One. Hear Him!

And when the voice  ¹had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and reported to no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

Now Joshua was old and advanced in age; and Jehovah said to him, You are old and advanced in age, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.

This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines and all that of the Geshurites,

From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, unto the border of Ekron on the north (this is considered to be Canaanite), with five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; and that of the Avvim

In the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah, which belongs to the Sidonians, unto Aphek at the border of the Amorites;

And the land of the Gebalites and all Lebanon toward the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians. I Myself will drive them out before the children of Israel; nevertheless  ¹allot it to Israel as an inheritance as I have commanded you.

And now  ¹divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

With  ¹the other half-tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave to them across the Jordan on the east, as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave to them:

From Aroer, which is on the edge of the river Arnon, and from the city, which is in the middle of the river valley, and all the tableland from Medeba to Dibon;

And all the cities of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

And Gilead with the territory of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon and all Bashan unto Salecah;

All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); and Moses struck them and dispossessed them.

Yet the children of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites and the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

However to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the  ¹offerings of Jehovah the God of Israel by fire are their inheritance, as He had spoken to him.

And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

And for them the border was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the river Arnon, and from the city, which is in the middle of the river valley, and all the tableland by Medeba;

Heshbon and all its cities which are in the tableland: Dibon and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon

And Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath

And Kiriathaim and Sibmah and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the valley

And Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth;

That is, all the cities of the tableland and all the kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon and whom Moses struck with the leaders of Midian: Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon who inhabited the land.

And Balaam the son of Beor, who practiced divination, the children of Israel slew with the sword with those of them who were already slain.

And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan and its border. This is the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities with their villages.

And Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.

And for them the border was Jazer and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon to Aroer, which is before Rabbah;

And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

And in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon; the Jordan and its border to the end of the Sea of Chinnereth, across the Jordan on the east.

This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities with their villages.

And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.

And their border was from Mahanaim and all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the  ¹tent villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

And half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir, according to their families.

These are what Moses gave as inheritances in the plains of Moab across the Jordan at Jericho to the east.

But to the tribe of Levi Moses did not give an inheritance;  ¹Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as He had spoken to them.

And these are what the children of Israel received as inheritances in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel gave to them as inheritances,

By the  ¹lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded through Moses for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe across the Jordan;

but to the Levites he did not give an inheritance among them.

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in with their pasture lands for their cattle and their substance.

As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; thus they divided the land.
