Joshua 20:8New Messianic Version BibleAnd on the other side Yarden [Descender] by Yericho [Its Moon] eastward, they assigned Betzer [Remote Fortress] in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Re’uven [Behold a Son], and Ramot [Heights] in Gil’ad [Rocky Region] out of the tribe of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], and Golan [Their Captivity] in Bashan [Fruitful] out of the tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget]. See the chapter |
And unto the children of Gershon [Exile], of the families of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], out of the [other] half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] [they gave] Golan [Their Captivity] in Bashan [Fruitful] with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and B’esht’rah [with increase] with her suburbs; two cities.
Then the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramot-Gil’ad [rocky region] to battle, or shall I refrain (restrain; refrein from acting)? And they said, Go up; for the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
