1 And it came to be, after the death of Yehoshua, that the children of Yisra’ĕl asked יהוה, saying, “Who of us should go up first against the Kena‛anites to fight against them?”

2 And יהוה said, “Yehuḏah does go up. See, I have given the land into his hand.”

3 And Yehuḏah said to Shim‛on his brother, “Come up with me into my allotment, and let us fight against the Kena‛anites. And I myself shall also go with you into your allotment.” So Shim‛on went with him.
