Joshua
12
1These are
the kings of the land whom the Israelites had defeated and whose territory they
took over east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including
all the eastern side of the Arabah:
2Sihon king
of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the
Arnon Gorge--from the middle of the gorge--to the Jabbok River, which is the
border of the Ammonites. This included half of Gilead. 3He also
ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah
(the Salt Sea), to Beth Jeshimoth, and then southward below the slopes of
Pisgah.
4And the
territory of Og king of Bashan, one of the last of the Rephaites, who reigned
in Ashtaroth and Edrei. 5He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all of
Bashan to the border of the people of Geshur and Maacah, and half of Gilead to
the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6Moses, the
servant of the LORD, and the Israelites conquered them. And Moses the servant
of the LORD gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe
of Manasseh to be their possession.
7These are

of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which

Israel according to their tribal divisions-- 8the hill country, the

Psalm
119:153–160
153Look
upon my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law. 154Defend
my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise. 155Salvation
is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees. 156Your
compassion is great, O LORD; preserve my life according to your laws. 157Many
are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes. 158I
look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word. 159See
how I love your precepts; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your love. 160All
your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
Acts
1:23–26
23So they
proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24Then
they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two
you have chosen 25to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas
left to go where he belongs." 26Then they cast lots, and the
lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
