耶和華諭約書亞曰、我使爾為尊於以色列族前、自今日始、俾其知悉、昔我佑摩西、今必佑爾。

惟別善惡之樹、不可食、食之日必死。○

蓋自高者、將降為卑、自卑者、將升為高也、○

且以一人、在世有罪、因罪而死、於是人皆有罪、人皆有死、

以法蓮人謂其田曰、爾初往攻米田人、曷不招我、何待我如是。遂切責之。

基督之愛策我矣、竊思一人為眾死、則其眾當死、明矣、

驕泰者敗亡繼之、謙遜者尊榮被之。

我耶和華手造萬物、使之咸備、凡謙卑遜順、敬畏我命者、我垂顧之。

此數人乃摩西遣之、以窺迦南者、嫩之子阿書亞、摩西易其名、為約書亞、

撒母耳曰、昔爾自視甚微、耶和華簡爾為支派之長、以膏沐爾、立為以色列族王。

西方有以法蓮之纛、及其軍旅、亞米忽子以利沙馬為以法蓮牧伯、能臨陳者、計四萬有五百。馬拿西支派從其右、比大蓿子迦馬列為牧伯、能臨陳者、計三萬二千二百。

耶和華上帝乎、爾以生氣賜於億兆、請立一人、統轄會眾、出入於民前、為民先導、免致耶和華會眾猶羊之無牧。耶和華諭摩西曰嫩之子約書亞、其人感於神、汝可簡取、按手其上、置於祭司以利亞撒及會眾前、付托以命、以汝尊榮、加諸其身、使以色列會眾、無不遵循、彼必立於祭司、以利亞撒前、以利亞撒用烏陵、諮諏我意、彼及以色列會眾、必聽斯命而出入。摩西簡約書亞立於祭司以利亞撒、及會眾前、按手其上、以命托之、遵耶和華命焉。

耶羅破暗在以法蓮山、建示劍而居、自此而往、建便奴利。

凡從以法蓮纛者、循其行伍遄征、亞米忽子以利沙馬統以法蓮軍。
