Judges 1:22-28 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

22. And the house of Joseph go up--even they--to Beth-El, and Jehovah [is] with them;

23. and the house of Joseph cause [men] to spy about Beth-El (and the name of the city formerly is Luz),

24. and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, `Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance of the city, and we have done with thee kindness.'

25. And he sheweth them the entrance of the city, and they smite the city by the mouth of the sword, and the man and all his family they have sent away;

26. and the man goeth to the land of the Hittites, and buildeth a city, and calleth its name Luz--it [is] its name unto this day.

27. And Manasseh hath not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in that land;

28. and it cometh to pass, when Israel hath been strong, that he setteth the Canaanite to tribute, and hath not utterly dispossessed it.
