Joshua and the children of Israel sue, et filii Israel percutiendi plaga (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
17. And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
17. Et nuntiatum est Josue his verbis, Inventi sunt quinque reges absconditi in spelunca in Makeda.
18. And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
18. Tunc dixit Josue, Devolvite saxa magna ad os speluncae, et constituite juxta eam viros ut custodiant eos.
19. Vos autem persequimini 99
19. And stay you not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand. inimicos vestros, et caudam eorum caedite, nec sinatis eos ingredi urbes suas: tradidit enim eos Jehova Deus vester in manum vestram.
20. And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered
20. Quum autem finem fecisset Josue, et filii Israel percutiendi plaga magna valde, donec consumerentur, et superstites qui evaserant ex ipsis ingressi essent urbes munitas. into fenced cities.
21. And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
21. Reversi sunt universus populus ad castra ad Josue in Makeda in pace: non movit contra filios Israel quisquam linguam suam.
22. Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
22. Tunc dixit Josue, Aperite os speluncae, et adducite ad me quinque illos reges de spelunca.
The words "stay you not," contained in the original, and in the Septuagint, the English, and other versions, are omitted in Calvin's Latin. — Ed.
