Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 2 Complete John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
17. But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our litttle ones shall dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.
17. Nos vero accincti erimus armis, festinantes ante filios Israel, donec introduxerimus eos ad locum suum: et manebunt parvuli nostri in urbibus munitis propier habitatores terrae.
18. We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance: 18.: Non reverietour ad domos nostras, donec possideant filii Israel quisque haereditatem suam.
19. For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
19. Non enim haereditatem accipiemus cum eis trans Jordanem et ultra: quod evenerit haereditas nostra nobis citra Jordanem ad Orientem.
20. And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord to war,
20. Et dixit illis Moses, Si feceritis hoc, si accinxeritis vos armis coram Jehova ad bellum:
21. And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the Lord, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
21. Et transierint ex vobis omnes accincti armis ipsum Jordanem ante, Jehovam, donec expulerit inimicos suos a facie sua,
22. And the land be subdued before the Lord; then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the Lord.
22. Et subjiciatur terra ilia coram Jehova: postea reveriemini, et eritis absoluti a Jehova, et Israele: eritque terra ista vobis in possessionem coram Jehova.
23. But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
23. Quod si non feceritis ita, ecce, peccastis Jehovae, et perpendite peccatum vestrum quod invenient vos.
